In the middle of my backswing, General?!
I just looked at the current offerings from Newsdemon and the deals are not nearly as sweet as the plan I'm on. I suspect that your best bet for a long-term subscription would be to wait until Black Friday, but there are plenty of providers with cheap blocks or monthly plans to play around with.
It's been a couple years since I set it up so I couldn't tell you what's the best deal these days.
I use Newsdemon's 2tb/mo plan (Black Friday deal, it's almost free it was so cheap) and a Blocknews block for completion. I don't have any issues with downloads being incomplete but YMMV.
Nzbgeek indexer (lifetime sub), Sabnzbd downloader, and the full *arr suite for automation, and an Emby server running on my NAS.
I'd rather pay for a decent Usenet backbone and use exclusively SSL downloads than rely on a VPN with torrents.
You don't want a free VPN. I'd cough up for Mullvad if I was going that route.
Check out Syncthing. It works pretty painlessly.
The Youths™ prefer short attention span, rapid gratification things like TikTok/Snapchat/Instagram/Facebook video reels... generally.
Cursive with the oddball printing letter thrown in will always be my preference. It's just plain faster than printing.
Gaming works surprisingly well. The last few years have made it a one-click affair for thousands of games with the efforts of the Proton team.

Picked up a titanium bracelet and bezel kit in the recent AliExpress sale. I previously had a steel bezel + bracelet on this watch. While the bracelet and case are very well made it feels bizarre to have such a chunky watch feel about the same weight as the original resin parts! The original resin watch weighed about 50g. The new bracelet and bezel are 65g, so even with the module it's only a few g more heavy than the original.
The only reason I haven't is the Pixel OS specific feature set like being able to use text selection/OCR from the task switcher.
Pixel 7. I bought it with the intention of flashing it with Graphene OS or something along those lines but I enjoy the Pixel features so much that I've left it stock.
As long as you don't live in Flint, USA water is generally safe to drink from the tap.
Mostly play indie top-down retro stuff like Core Keeper, but the occasional bout of Halo MCC/Infinite, RDR2, Wasteland 3, and a few others.
If the new Battlebit release anti-cheat functions properly under Proton then I'll be picking that up.
I’m glad you posted this. I’m using Syncthing, a home NAS, and offsite VPS to run my own automatic photo backup system in the vein of Google Photos but I very much miss the auto tagging features. Gonna have to check this out!
