Usenet as daily driver works 99% of the time. Only use VPN/torrents for extremely new or very obscure shows. $5/month pays for unlimited Usenet and VPN.

That’s an unwinnable campaign - there is no escape from Flavor Town.

When Hamachi became unusable I switched to Tailscale to connect my phone, my laptop, and all my local PCs together. It just works, flawlessly. There are more features they offer like Exit Nodes (proxy servers to force Internet traffic through another PC on your Tailscale Network) and sharing your tailnet nodes with another Tailscale user on a separate tailnet, but realistically I just use it like I used Hamachi - as a dead-easy VPN between all my personal devices.

I’m assuming 1172 is a count of donations to official mainstream servers. I have definitely contributed to my local server.

I use FireFox + uBlock Origin, and never see ads. I did have to disable my other adblock/privacy extensions (DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, PrivacyBadger, and Ghostery) for YouTube before its anti-adblock stopped complaining, but FF+uBO seems to work just fine with default filters enabled.

I’m in favor of this, but how did it pass when “two out of four commissioners voted against the measure”?

uBlock Origin has kept their filters up-to-date for me. Still no ads, and no blocks from YouTube, since day 1. I did disable my other privacy extensions like Privacy Badger and Ghostery on YouTube to stay on their “good” side however.

Who views ads in Reddit? Except for all the shill posts, that is.

I’m guessing that they’ll sell Reddit Gold for money (or give subscribers a monthly stipend), then share a (small) portion of the money they made to contributors when they receive and then sell back said gold.

Ah yes, the way to become unaffected by Western sanctions is to emulate the country that lives in perpetual serfdom and give up all those small luxuries you’ve become accustomed to before they can be taken away. Makes perfect sense!

DuckDuckGo uses Bing as well, so I’m not sure why it’s better for you than Yahoo or bing.com. I personally am fine using DDG, as it provides the results I’m looking for and doesn’t track me for asking.

What a tool.

“This change applies only to future new Windows operating systems, both client and server editions. Windows versions that have already been released will not be affected by this change,” Microsoft reminded customers on Friday.
