  • This was worth the watch. No jump cuts or annoying VO, except to explain the scenes.

  • People that went to Paris, what did you think of it?

    Jump

  • I’ve been there a few times over the past decade. It’s a major metro city with substantial tourism. The people there are just like people anywhere else in the world in that if you treat them with respect, they will reflect that; and if you treat them like smug shit, they will also treat you like smug shit.

    The semi-popular reputation Paris has is unearned and based in prejudice.

  • I used PiHole for a long time, then graduated to self-hosting a VPN so I could get as-blocking when away from my home network.

    Ultimately I ended up using just AdGuard DNS via the DNS profile for iOS, and hard code the DNS into my home routers.

    There might be a better setup, but this simple deployment takes care of 98% of ads.

  • There’s also SDRUtah.org, WebSDR.org, and KiwiSDR.org. Each has a slightly different interface and following; different bands, antennas, and geographic locations. You really can listen to the world on these.

    Out of the box, Apple does fairly well.

  • If you’re on MacOS, you can run networkquality via crontab and append the results to a text file. I did this for a few months on a congested network to identify ideal times to try and do schoolwork.

  • Depending on material, I get piling all over some of my shirts. One could use a safety razor or something to address piling, but they also make an application-specific piling “shaver”. I should get one haha
