Not everyone is technically minded. Don't divert from the fact Microsoft is doing shady shit here.

I have the same feeling. Although it may be a good thing too in that developers will at least ensure their game runs correctly via Proton. Better than a game that doesn't work.

I used to use Ghostery but removed it and now just use these two filters in uBlock. They're not perfect but certainly better than not using them at all.

It's not burned. It goes to an Anaerobic Digester which produces electricity, gas and fertiliser.

Where I live in the UK, food is placed in a compostable bag which are taken away weekly. They turn it into energy. Way better than blending it and putting down the drain.

They're not common in the UK.

The little sink is just that really. I use it for pouring liquids down the drain when washing dishes and the main sink is full of water.

I've run Mint in Virtual Box on Windows with no issues. Really though, the move from Windows to Mint is best done on bare metal.

Awesome info! I wasn't overly happy with having to use CloudFlare for just this one feature. I'll have a test with my registrar.

The CNAME flattening is not a regular feature of DNS, so I have to use Cloudflare. Maybe other providers do the same, but I haven't looked around. It's certainly not something namecheap offer.

I point my TLD to the dynamic DNS record and then point to other records to the TLD as CNAME records. I'm using Nginx Proxy Manager to reverse proxy traffic to different services. These all live on a Raspberry Pi 4.

Sadly bike lanes become unusable at times. The ones that run parallel with roads often get all the debris from the road thrown onto them. In autumn the leaves gather there making it very dangerous as they can hide holes and even large objects like bricks. Not to mention leaves are very slippery when wet.

As a road cyclist, it pains me to say this but cars actually clear the roads from debris due to the sheer volume of cars and their much wider tyres.

I live in quite a rural area now and the back roads are full of mud, stones and sand from farms fields and trackers.

I don't have a static IP but host services off my paid domain. I use duckdns and point host records to the duckdns address. I have to use CloudFlare to manage my DNS records for this to work.

Not really a word but the name Swarfega. It's a hand soap used by mechanical engineers to clean oil off their hands.

I liked it so much it's been my online alias for years.
