  Hell yeah. Also, support your local library! I know your local library doesn’t have a free for all streaming service, but they lend books and all kinds of media… Just imagine if we could push it to where your local library DID have a Plex/Jellyfin/Netflix-esque service? Just log in with your library card! That’s the dream…

  From everything I’ve heard about running a reliable and trustworthy email service, it sounds like a fucking nightmare. I’m glad to pay something like proton to handle it for me.

  I also endorse and recommend proton for de-googling.

  If you’re able, try and trust a VPN provider, and route all your networking traffic through them. At least that’ll cut out your ISP from being able to harvest as much.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How many of you actually use the headphone jack on your phone?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I basically stopped using wired headphones when Work From Home became a thing. I kept getting up from my desk and wanting to keep my audio going while wandering around and having wireless is perfect for my small house. I would definitely want to go back to wired if I was commuting or out in public daily though.

  I, too, have done blender and CAD. Did solidworks in school and then used Fusion. Both have same parametric modeling principles that make modeling work well. I’ve also used blender, and it’s… Definitely not a parametric modeling solution. It could be. Maybe. And if that was an option, that would be amazing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FCC to propose a minimum 100mbps to qualify as broadband, with a future goal of 1gbps⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Would need to convince a local business down there to support it, but it’s not a terrible idea.

  But it is a terrible situation that this is the length people need to go to to work around Comcast / DOCSIS lopsided networking.

  Homelabber here, stuck in Comcast hell with 10Mbps upload.

  I wish I could afford to bring the local municipal fiber to my house, but to go like 2 city blocks with it would be tens of thousands of dollars. :(

  I’m considering a local colocation/ datacenter to move my homelab to. But then it wouldn’t be a homelab anymore

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best of both worlds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m trying to figure out what to buy now because my TV from 20 years ago finally died. Can’t find anything that’s essentially a large monitor.

  Why can’t we just do it like the rest of the world where the IRS (or equivalent) does it and you just sign off on it being correct? They should already have all the data they need from corporate quarterly filings.
