Basic Brother black and white lasers come with only a USB connection and are really cheap to operate. Also no special drivers required.

Most multiplayer games now seem to focus on matchmaking and your performance, there's not much focus on community anymore.

Everyone just plays for the highest score and doesn't care about hanging out on a community run server every night with the same group of people.

He doesn't have a good reputation for his videos or products that I've seen, they come across as very scammy and he has a very 'podcast snakeoil scammer' feel. I would avoid it.

Better off buying a Google Pixel, the older ones are cheap now.

dockers volume storage is bloody annoying to backup

They’re just normal folders located in /var/lib/docker/volumes so you can back up that directory.

Backup for docker is no different than backing up anything else.

Volumes are located in /var/lib/docker/volumes by default, so just back up that directory with Restic or Borg, or something like Backrest if you want notifications and stuff handled for you.

Or you can do mount points to a directory instead of using volumes and back that up, but it's really the same process.

What does libre mean?

None of the alternatives are good enough yet. Either the UX is bad, or they are missing important features, or both in most cases. There is too much focus on privacy and encryption and not enough on being easy to use, and having the features people are used to.

Asking friends on Discord to switch to Matrix which is missing most of the features and bots they are used to is not going to work out. Same for Telegram to Signal or Matrix when they're used to group chats, channels, stickers, bots to handle moderation of new users, polls, forwarding of messages, stories, and so on.

None of the Discord 'alternatives' that come up seem to support game streaming with low latency, some don't even have voice rooms yet, they're just a text chat with a meeting room feature tacked on.

IMO backups on the same provider aren't really backups. Good that they had some at a different one.

It also sends your IMAP credentials to their servers and receives the mail there, it's not done locally like the older versions.

ispot.tv is on one of my DNS blacklists, it seems to be an advertising service?

Many VPNs have built in traffic filtering that does block common malware, phishing, and tracking domains/IPs.

Their advertising claims still do get a bit ridiculous though.

Something else is going on with your setup, I block graph.facebook.com via DNS too and Ally works fine, both app and browser.

Your screenshot looks like you're also blocking ntp.org which could definitely screw with a banking app, and launchdarkly.com may also be the problem if they're loading assets from that service.

Can't wait for the onlyfans accounts that spam the same vanilla nsfw image into 50 different communities at once. /s
