About average for a flag shagger I suppose.

Rclone is great for data wrangling. Takes only a little learning for a lot of future convenience/automation down the line.

evs.ee at least offers ISO standards at a not extortionate price:

The pdfs do have some DRM on them and they will come watermarked with the buyer details though. The former is easy to get around - I used foxit reader and a pdf 'printer' to make a copy that opens nicely in anything.

Why pick shit out of your cereal, when you can just get the other brand that doesn't have shit in it?

At least they've zapped the acceptable ads out of it :)

Ironfox is my current pref for mobile, backed by uBO & a VPN to a box running pfsense.

ABP hasn't been relevant for years, because they started on "acceptable ads" back in 2011.

Anyone with sense has long since moved on.

Odd one. Accessible using an app, not on browser though.

Will need an alternative if you need to port forward, but for general use you can't fault them

UK is implementing law for age verification on nsfw content, that's the jist of it.

Some services are choosing to simply not serve the UK rather than deal with the faff and/or the privacy concerns. lemmy.zip where I am from is one of them.

Blame lies squarely with the UK gov & Online Safety Act. It's a shit law made to pander to the 'think of the children' types that are incapable of parenting, also coming with the bonus of grift and doxxing concerns by companies that move in to provide the service.

I don't blame any site operator that chooses to simply not play. VPN goes on, normal service resumes.

Both the mice I use are Logitech.

Marathon M705 in work. Bought in 2017 and still trucks away in my 9-5. Fantastic scroll and enough buttons for convenience. Batteries last seemingly forever.

M510 at home. Bought in 2022 and no troubles. Has done me well in the same non-competitive gaming role, but you might appreciate a few more buttons.

Both use the unifying protocol. Both are pretty cheap too.

There's a world of difference between day 1 and the current build as well. Definitely take another look if you haven't recently. Devs finally waking up haha.

Favourite part so far has been the lighting system & ragdolls. If you whip a car fast enough in reverse and hit a sweet spot on the swing around, you can send Z flying like baseballs.

RAID1 with 8 drives is definitely in the funsies department
