If NetGuard makes you smile, have a look at ReThink.

Fast/private DNS, firewall, logs, VPN (WireGuard) ready to go.

True, they are expensive, but that build quality and the availability of firmwares to do what you are looking for with just a quick flash makes them handy AF for keeping in a pocket to play with.

I have found several uses for mine which weren't in mind when I made my decision to purchase.

I've had a NextCloud server and an IRC bouncer running on Oracle Cloud with static IP for two years now, free of charge.

More than sufficient to host a site, even dynamic.

Unless a cop actually sees you doing a ridiculous speed they aren't going to check for P/W ratio or motor output

Electric scooters are illegal in the UK, but police don't have time or inclination to stop their widespread usage on public roads, and you're safe to ride past them unless you're doing something stupid.

So many things like this have people getting away with it that the laws are just ignored eventually.

When one has an incident ... Well, the hand wringers are out in droves telling everyone they told us so.

Underfunded and under resourced police can't cope with the workload, for a change.

Oh leave GCHQ alone. When the 1337 h4x0rz get a copy of the decryption scheme we can all have lulz at their expense.

To paraphrase a quote attributed to Napoleon;

"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake"

One of the best reasons to pay after you eat is so you can question the bill in case of an unsatisfactory dish or service.

Tipping is optional in many areas, and can depend on the quality of the Front of House staff. Picking up a payment for £100 and finding £110 that was left because you've done a good job can be motivation to some people.

I wonder what on earth these people are dreaming of when they try to stop one person promoting a book by making a move guaranteed to kick off the Streisand Effect and having the whole media machine do it for her?

Maybe they're getting paid royalties on the publication?

Also, .torrent file available on TPB in 3 2 1 ... (It wasn't at time of posting).

I use W3W as part of my address.

When I get a food or parcel delivery and meet the person I point it out.

Having been a delivery driver of varying types, a cab driver, and in other passenger movement jobs, being able to pinpoint a location is very helpful.

GOOG uses those plus codes that mean nothing to the eye, yet W3W is very user friendly.

I'll risk the confusion. An address next to the code means very little likelihood of error.

I wouldn't recommend this without reservations, but I passed my bike test at 40 and got a 1 litre adventure sport motorcycle.

I'd ridden bikes in my youth and have been a professional driver for most of my life. Knowing how roads work, how dangerous all the other fools on them are, and being used to the hazards on UK roads, I started off slow. Every car driver is a "didn't see you, mate" waiting to happen.

The freedom and joy of riding through North Yorkshire, the beauty of the place, the days out in the sun, and the people you speak to make it a massive thing in my life that I wish I could do more of.

This guy picked a fight, noticed he's losing, then goes running to the people who are collateral damage in his silly power game?

Man up and take your medicine.

'Don't be a dick'. Here endeth today's lesson.

Also, long live the fork(s). Don't be beholden to one plugin supplier, no matter how benevolent they seem when you start using their wares.

Behold the field where I grow my 'fucks'; 'tis barren, sire.

When I saw 'Daily Mail' and sex act I assumed par for the course. Was nice to read about putting lights on things to break up the silhouette.

This isn't a bad thing.

Financially it's ruinous to buy disposables when you can pick up a simple cigar sized vape with rechargeable battery and replaceable coil/pod for the same price, then refill it over and over again.

The amount of lithium ending up on the road and in bins is silly. The tax on vaping is putting the price of everything up, so now is the time to buy an Xross Pro or something that lasts all day.

For adults (who don't need to conceal their habit) it makes a lot of sense to buy coils/pods in quantity and keep a spare in the car/handbag.

Also ... Can we stop vilifying this life-saving habit? Smoking kills, we all know it. Vaping is MUCH safer and yes, just as addictive. Nicotine isn't the killer ingredient in smoking, so encourage people to vape, don't demonize them for it.

With motorcycles it's of incalculable benefit to be heard early on because we're rarely seen until the crash.

I've just checked, and the warrant canary is back up with promises that they've not been coerced.

Ali and eBay have been at this for years.

I've got a X to sell for £100. I can also sell Y, which costs £50. I'll advertise with the main selling price of Y and the main picture/description of X ... Profit!

Most people are selling X for £75, and a real bargain would be £50, so it doesn't seem 'too good to be true' that a seller would have a X for £50, on a good day.

It isn't Ali that's doing it, they're just complicit in not closing the loophole that's being exploited by sellers.

Caveat emptor.
