Geeky and sarcastic, but never too cool for dad jokes. I’m a proud father of two and a member of the LGBTQ+ community. I’ll gladly debate about anything from Sony vs. Microsoft to Kirk vs. Picard, but at the end of the day, I’m all about inclusivity and respecting different opinions.

Do people not use a VPN with Usenet at all? I have one for torrents to get my Linux ISOs but I just assumed I should also use one to get my news from Usenet.

I know cloudflare has a free tier and allows you to put rules like this in place. AFAIK you’d have to use them as DNS at least in order to use this feature. I use Cloudflare tunnels and access to facilitate remote access to my home-server, and I know I have this same rule in place.

I seem to remember years ago some people listing their pronouns by she/her/hers. I think she/her, she/they, he/him, etc. is just a shortening of listing all three while also being inclusive. As you mentioned some individuals are more fluid and may go by she and they but prefer she so it is listed as she/they.

Thanks for this! I finally decided to nuke my Reddit comments. I was mostly a lurker anyway, and I will probably still keep the account. Its too bad they have gone the way of Digg, I loved that site.

I’d get a house for me and my family. Make sure my parents have a house that meets their needs as well. I’d hire a personal trainer to get in shape and take a few months off work while I figure out what to do next.

The comments on that site are something else. I don’t know what I expected, but it doesn’t seem like many actually read the article

I always liked the idea of going to a college that had a program with a work term so you can see if you like it and also get some experience. I would say talk to some people in areas that you are interested in and see if you find any jobs you may look doing.

I lurk with an ad blocker. I do still have an account and am logged in so I can vote and save some posts.

Second this. Start with an old desktop and see where you land. it’s a good starting place to see what services you like using/need. Then you can spec out a second machine to solve any pain points you have.
