I’m running Newpipe through Proton VPN, working as of today.

Scepter televisions are a great option, no “smart” features at all. Bought two of them about 6 years ago and no issues.

I bought a couple Sceptre TVs six years ago, been great.

It’s a dual drive redundant setup. Unless something catastrophic happens, I doubt both drives will go out at the same time. I could do an offsite backup as well, but just haven’t.

Been using a Synology NAS for the past year for automatic photo backups. Take a photo, it gets copied to my drive at home so long as there’s internet access available. No issues so far. Turned off my backups to Google.

In the 80s and 90s HP printers were great. They just worked, even in rough dirty manufacturing environments. You could just about drop kick one, and it would still print out a page for you. Now they’re crap. The investment firm that owns the brand is past beating the dead horse, now trying to squeeze every last dollar out of the carcas.

I set on Lemmy.zip during the blackout protest on Reddit, and haven’t gone back to it. Don’t miss it. Lemmy has grown a lot in the past few months. It’s only a fraction of the Reddit userbase size, but steadily filling out and getting better.

Ended up ordering 2 of those myself. For the price, couldn’t pass it up. Going to replace the 1Tb ssd’s I have now, and turn the old ones into external storage. All my Steam games are taking up too much space.

Didn’t realize that. But yeah, looks great, going to try it out.

Probably Satisfactory. Made by the same folks doing Valheim, which I’ve really loved playing. Also thinking about getting High on Life. Supposed to be a good game but the full-price tag has made me hold off until now.

It’s not a new thing for the Republic side. Reagan refused to do anything about the HIV/AIDS epidemic, or even speak about it publicly, since he believed it was God’s punishment against the gay community. Before it started spreading and killing his white Christian community too, the administration was fine letting it kill off the people he hated.
