That was my thought, too. But what's the worst that could happen in that scenario? "Oh no, that guy keeps getting free drinks." Big whoop, you already have plenty of people actually paying for your overpriced drinks. I don't know, it's really dumb.
It's been getting ridiculous. One of the apps on my partner's phone recently warned that they wouldn't open with Developer options enabled.
This app is a fucking drink menu and digital punch card for a popular coffee shop, what could be done from the developer options that affects this app in any way? Especially since I only enabled developer options to speed up the godawful Android animations. Out of principal I've stopped going there and deleted the app.
Here's a massive list of "Alternative Internet" software. There are some blockchain items in there, but otherwise it's pretty extensive.
My partner and I are on the Duo plan because there are only two of us. The price is going from $13 to $15, so it's not just the family plan that's getting raised.
I got myself a Hauppage PCIe digital tuner and installed it in one of my servers that's on all the time. Using TVHeadend, you can easily stream it to any device on your network, or use something like Wireguard or Tailscale if you want to use it outside your network.
It doesn't require a custom kernel, but Hauppage recommends using theirs for quicker updates.
I personally always have a 50GB / (root) partition and then make another partition for my /home folder. That way if something goes FUBAR, I can easily reinstall without needing to migrate my data somewhere else first.
There are a couple paths you could take. You could go the Angel Beats! route where this limbo is a way to come to terms with death, or you could go full power fantasy and have him take on the God of the underworld/limbo and take his place.
I used Linux as my daily driver and set up homelabs for various things I wanted (Nextcloud, Jellyfin, Home Assistant, ActivityPub self server, etc).
Everything else just came organically from there.
