• I turned my old desktop into a home server, which let me cancel some streaming services… and I set up an rpi4 as a kodi server.
• Signed up for Firefox Relay (had a holiday sale) to have email masks and a proxy phone number, which should help with spam & marketing crap.
• Stopped using Reddit in favor of lemmy (which I hope to contribute to this year)
• Gonna have to find a replacement for mint, since it’s dying this month

Thank you for this chuckle hehe

That is amazing! Now, I need to see about using weather satellites to explain the bugs in my code at work…

Wow that’s nice! I get 600/25mbps for $80USD in the US, coax 😞 wish fiber-to-the-premise was a possibility in my neighborhood

Now, on my home server, moving & renaming a bunch of media files has me really wishing I had a DE installed there to Ctrl + click/Drag-n-drop…

Also, I love using VScodium/Code as an IDE bc of its configurability & rich plugin ecosystem – but recently I had some performance hiccups with extensions not playing nice together and started (again) down the masochistic path of configuring neovim to use as an “IDE”…
