Various stuff, some not best practice per se but here it is (more focused on digital sovereignity than anything else these days):

  • Degoogled my android phone to the greatest degree without breaking essential stuff. Noticed better battery life so a unintended win
  • moved off from Outlook to paid hosted email in my country. Cheap, reliable and have full control over it. Also in case of any issues way easier to get support
  • Cancelled M365 subscription as I don't use office and was using it purely for cheap OneDrive backup for family
  • Moved all my files for me and my family off of OneDrive to my Synology NAS. Ended up using more of its functionality, happy with the purchase. Doing the occasional backup to the external drive just in case
  • Ditched proprietary authentication apps in favor of Keepassxc. TOTP codes on any synced device so if I lose my mobile phone I don't get locked out of anything. Local only was mandatory
  • For work stuff I use ente auth, separating work and private MFA
  • Replaced windows on all my machines with linux. Its become more user friendly in recent years and does not get in my way.
  • Replaced all US service providers with EU ones where possible, if any service gets cut off for EU I won't lose access to anything important, never know with Trump these days...

Yep, used Skygrabber, you could filter out files depending on extensions, filenames etc and could narrow out what you wanted. Still had no real way of knowing what you'd end up with as you were effectively just passively listening on the satellite traffic. It was wild as you could fill out a 40 gig drive overnight without issues in the era where people were downloading a MP3 album for hours.

If you had real shitty internet back in the day (read 56k modem) and you liked to play russian roulette you would dump satellite traffic with a skystar2 DVB-S card. You never knew what you'd get realistically, found some true gems underneath mountains of coal in the day of (still) unfiltered internet.

Those two are really the only good use cases today for facebook. Insane how Marketplace pretty much overnight almost killed local listing sites. Events I don't see good alternatives, don't have much hopes for that one, time will show

How down-puttingly assuming of you to know me or my country who in its entire long history never invaded someone and was mostly a vassal for others. We gained independence after a bloody civil war which tore the country apart and saw its fair share of genocide, during which the whole world stood by the sidelines. No, muslims are not the only victims of this cruel world.

No, I generally don't comment on politics exactly because it breeds polarizing comments like this, but this open call for death for any side is horrific from my point of view, who saw what it does to a nation. This outlook of complete eradication of the other side is what is preventing any possible long lasting peace, and truthfully if the people don't recognize it there won't be anybody left to see it. As it currently stands there will be no peace until one side completely displaces the other, which is not what I or the vast majority of the world want.

In the same boat, I miss it still, other ones have a worse UI for me and hate the ad slots in the app although I have DNS ad blocking but its still annoying. Do update me if you find a good replacement as we're looking for the same thing

You may hit the nail on the head, once you get the broom you just breeze past everyhring. The forbidden forest may be the most dense content wise on foot, everything after that does feel more sparse as it was designed with the broom in mind. All in all I still enjoyed the game and got my moneys worth out of it, I did pick it up rather cheap on a sale
