+1 for Fossify, great set of apps.

Only some countries need VPNs. If your country doesn’t care about piracy (e.g. Italy, Spain or Eastern Europe) just don’t bother paying for a VPN.

Is it stable yet to use it? I’ve seen it and it looks promising, but it’s also under active development.

Add a private torrent indexer and/or Usenet and it’s perfection.

PurelyMail is a great and cheap service. It’s like $10 per year. You just set up some records (MX and TXT) on your domain provider and that’s it.

You could also self-host email, but then you need a server that’s always powered on and it adds much complexity, so I suggest to use a managed service instead.

The good thing about using your own domain is that you’re not tied to any service. You could migrate to any other provider (such as ProtonMail, FastMail, etc.) without ever changing your email address on all services.

In Italian, butterfly, bowtie and the kind of pasta are all called “farfalla”. Which has come first, though?

Sommerfugl (bird of summer) in Danish :)

And still uses the old meme faces.

In Europe I’ve never seen a drive through ATM (in fact, the only drive throughs I’ve seen here are McDonald’s). In the US I was surprised to see many.

But there’s no real alternative to YouTube.

And no, using a proxy service is like using YouTube itself with uBlock or whatever.

SponsorBlock also comes by default on SmartTubeNext for Android TV.

Pro-tip: apps can’t ask for leaving a review twice, so if you press yes and then go immediately back, it will never ask again.

And SmartTubeNext if you have an Android TV.

You just have to do it once in a few months, and recent versions made it way easier to just download the correct apk and patch it quickly.

…and the WordPress codebase is utterly horrible. I don’t envy them at all.

This is a great idea, I might create a Laravel package to automatically do this.

I don’t think autorun worked with floppy disks, only with CDs and USB units.

Yes, I remember the guy writing there. That was a serious website! But maybe he sold it to somebody else before Google completely killed their search engine.

Now, if you want to rank well on Google, you either have to churn out stupid articles filled with SEO junk every single day.

I don’t think feature parity is the only problem here. Power users need information density and quick reactivity, two things that the new settings – with their huge buttons and useless animations – dearly lack.

I wonder if there would be a way to “embed” those old panel applets into the new settings somehow.
