I like being able to use my the same charger universally with my and my families:

• Steam Deck
• iPads
• PlayStation 5 controllers
• XBOX Series X Controllers
• Laptops
• Phone power banks
• Magsafe Charger
• Nintendo Switches
• Beats Fit Pro
• Samsung Galaxy Tabs

I detest the:

• Shitty USB 2.0 Lightning cable

This is great stuff.

I’ve got a Libreddit docker instance running on my home server and together with the libredirect browser extension, if I click on a Reddit link through a search or news article with a link to Reddit, my browser automatically goes to my Libreddit instance with the content on full display.

Now, whilst on my Libreddit instance the other day after being redirected from a news article I took a peek at r/all and the whole feed was pure shit, nothing like I’d seen before on Reddit.

For some reason, it was full of doordash posts, rateme style posts taking advantage of thirsty usersand shitty TikTok reposts.

They may well have won, but at the moment there is a glut of absolute shit on the front page of the platform. I’d guess quality content has taken a hit.

Pihole on my Debian system with PiVPN WireGuard server.

Safari extensions:
Vinegar to block YouTube ads in Safari. I don’t use the app at all.
Banish to stop websites showing those annoying “open in the app” pop ups.

Ad and nag free bliss.

I use it to access any websites that I want to that Virgin Media block due to court orders issued by the UK high court.

Just set this up on my Unraid server and it's amazing. Great suggestion and thank you.

I hate where the internet is right now.

Anyone trying to get information written by a human or decent benchmarks of CPUs is in for a real crap time.

Just tested i5 12400 vs i3 12100f and was met with results in this order:

1. Userbenchmark
2. Userbenchmark
3. CPU-Monkey
4. 3 shitty YouTube videos of obviously fake gameplay benchmarks (that’s a whole other thing on YouTube)
5. Technical city
6. cpubenchmark.net - the first kind of decent result as it’s from the people at passmark.
7. versus (dot com)
8. gadget versus
9. pc Praha (dot cz)
10. cpu-compare
11. cpu-panda

The crap just goes on. SEO optimised lists of (at best) affiliate link laden spec sheets with no real information form an actual human.

Well I’m going to be all over this when I finish work later today.

I absolutely love WipeOut.

Gorgeous build. Enjoy that hotbox!

One of the best clubs to be in. I absolutely love my Deck & I hope it brings you the equivalent joy.

These have been fantastic. I saved up my pocket money and got Golden Axe (I believe it was from John Menzes) for the speccy.

Sega Megadrive port was the best from me though.

Keep doing what you’re doing! All the memories and feels coming back in my old age.

I've found my feed really picking up the past two weeks. Plenty of decent content to consume which is great.
Nice growth.

The ZX Spectrum port was legendary. Couldn't believe I was playing R-Type in my home back when the arcade machines were so far ahead of what home computers could pull off.

Our local pub had a little arcade section for the kids with R-Type as one of the machines and I remember pumping in plenty of 20p coins into it.

Another fond memory is the excitement of getting R-Types on PSX back in the day.

I guess I need to try out this Amstrad port to see how good it is.....
