Yeah, I know this is the self hosted community, but nothing is as easy and straightforward as OneNote. I keep coming back to it after trying self hosted solutions.

Giffgaff uses o2 and also blocks duckdns. Additionally, whatever blocklist my employer is using also blocks it, so it's probably a common thing now.

There's bands I listen to that have <10 monthly listeners. They still deserve their $3 a year IMO.

Yeah, surely you have to find out first, before writing an article titled "Tech news doesn't understand ad blockers or Chrome extensions"? This appears to be the crux of the article, and yet the author isn't worried about finding out? Weird.

I've tried a lot of different things before settling on a old (windows) laptop with a wireless mouse and keyboard... I just cba with any of the streaming boxes anymore, and the laptop will always be compatible and performant.

Agreed, just sell the old phone and use the money to buy a proper camera.

I updated ublock but it didn't stop the ads, so I can see others doing the same. I'm guessing it didn't actually pull the very latest version or the very latest block lists for whatever reason, but others might be less patient than me.

I meant that if you went to Oracle instead of Linode, you could use their free services, and then spend the $5 you're currently spending on Linode on upgrading your Oracle server instead.

I'm assuming they'd be using the $5 per month mentioned in the opening post to pay for some upgrade, e.g. more storage, more RAM, etc. So they'd be on a paid account, but using services that cost zero dollars for the most part. This is what I do and it's been great.

It can also start an adhoc network that you join on your phone, and input the wifi details via the browser, although this is more complicated for the device itself. Lots of low spec/low power devices do that though.

I've been using the Mi Band 3 for the past 4 years or so. Was about $15 new from aliexpress and hasn't broken yet - just the plastic straps which break every 12 months or so.
