Heavily modified vivaldi. Vertical tabs on the left side. Side panels with often used tools. Autohiding UI, pop-out links. I cannot live without native mouse gestures and the Vivaldi speed dial. Opera also offers it, but that browser is unfortunately a shell of what it was.

Zen browser as a semi backup.

I tried using zen as my main browser for a month, but I ended up going back to Vivaldi. It's just so much better.

Belgium is 100% not a stem family. Nobody lives with their parents if they can financially avoid it. It's not a thing and hasn't been for decades.

I've used a synology as my first NAS. Using truenas now on a selfmade larger one.

The learning curve for truenas vs synology is immense tbh. I'm still not fluent in truenas usage.

You have to be a hobbyist to use a truenas. Synology is fire and forget tbh. My technologically incompetent Gen z (seriously, wtf is up with Gen z it skills...) kids/nephews could use synology. No way they would get truenas running.

That being said, I personally do prefer truenas, but I've put in days of works to get where it is.

What makes you assume I only have cod files on my pc? I'm not running dual boot on my pc.

Linux nerds can be exhausting tbh :)

How is that useful in this discussion? I need windows because I play CoD with my kids. I still like the concept of this specific windows tool.

Fair enough. It's still more news than the endless reporting major news websites do (I'm looking at you bbc) about his fucking tweets.

But I can see your point that it's not very newsworthy on Lemmy (nor is this new btw, he has done similar shit before)

"Twitter should be the global town square"

"free speech absolutist"

"make humor great again"

"leftists are snowflakes"

Sure, he doesn't force anyone to use Twitter. It's still unfortunately the de facto communication platform for a lot of government agencies. It's still an important tool for the world. Let's hope some large governments (EU? Please?) grow balls and leave Twitter alltogether...

This is absolutely newsworthy and worth being upset about.

It might be a scam, but I talked to someone through better help for a few weeks. She helped me get rid of my overall negativity really fast. She didn't teach me anything revolutionary, but she made me face the issue face on. 2y later and I haven't fallen back into my old ways. So for me personally, it was an absolute success story.

I have other issues like every human being, but I am not a Debby downer anymore around others

Nowhere? Sit with my own sadness. Go to the gym and work my frustration out on weights. Play games and forget? Unfortunately none of them healthy coping mechanisms, but talking to close ones leads to more issues because I'm very bad at putting my feelings into words without causing distress to others apparently. So inwards it goes.

Not as if the universe cares, so why should I?...

Lord of the rings is a great book series.

I'm very fond of scifi, the old man war series is a very fun and smooth series to read. I like to recommend it to ppl that want to read a longer, but easy to digest series.

If you like scifi in general, you can't go wrong by picking any random nebula award winner. It's what I've done these past few years. Can't say I've regretted it this far.

You'll have plenty time to read amazing books now that you don't have to waste your time in church, reading the Bible and thinking about skydaddy. Welcome to freedom!

 

I am running a NAS at home, Minecraft server and some other stuff.

I want to make it all easier to access by getting my own domain, both for myself and friends and family.

Will also use it for my mail address etc.

My main goal is reduce my dependency on US services for very obvious reasons.

What's a good non US dns registrar to use? Found a ton online, but it's my first time doing this and I'm a bit lost unfortunately.

Any help and/or advice is greatly appreciated.

 

I'm traveling to the US mainland for the first time in my life in a few weeks.

I am not overly stressed about privacy, but I have read that US immigration can really overstep their boundaries. Are there any simple specific steps to take on my devices to protect my privace when going through US border control?

Remove my main accounts from my phone/tablet and use dummy accounts? Or just removing my biometrics?
