A fun way to find articles nearby that need photographs is Wikishootme - https://wikishootme.toolforge.org/ (although it seems to be offline at the moment).

suprisingly so... Haven't had any unplanned downtime in a couple of years. (But as I mentioned, I treat them as disposable and wouldn't miss anything if they disappeared suddenly.)

I have a couple of $10/yearly (so less than $1 a month) VPSs. (Found them on Lowendbox.com). Some uses:

- Tailscale exit nodes (I don't use them to stream Netflix or torrents over, but sometimes they're useful to browse "this content is not available in your region" sites, to use WhatsApp while transiting through Bejing airport, ...)

- Invidious

- FreshRSS.org

- Vaultwarden

- some silly scripts

I treat these as disposable and can spin them up again from daily backups if needed. So far the stability has been good as with more expensive infrastructure providers.

My home setup is not $5/month VPS but a sub $100 second hand thin client running KVM is used for: - Home Assistant

- Immich photo hosting

- Music Assistant

- Pihole

- Hister

- Invidious

Obviously the storage requirements for media and photos are higher, these go to a (more expensive) Synology NAS, and are backed up externally, but that's beyond the scope of this post. The Home Assistant + Pihole storage requirements are minimal.

While I agree with you, there is an unofficial (and reversible) tool which can help you reclaim this space:

How can you have DSL (connecting through WAN Miniport PPPoE) and dial up modem sounds at the same time? Infuriating...

> company that sell pedals with integrated lights too but I can't remember the name

I use https://redshiftsports.com/products/arclight-pedals - originally bought them on Kickstarter.

They're not super cheap, but I'm very happy with them. You can change the mode from always on to pulsing. They automatically turn off when not in use, and they sense the direction of the pedal so that the front light is always white and the back is always red.

apparently it's an option when using an external display - https://textream.net/docs/#external

I recently switched from Plex's pretty terrible native players to Plezy (on iOS, iPadOS and tvOS).

Plezy supports both Plex and Jellyfin as a backend - I'm not sure if there is 100% feature parity.

It depends.

* For companies publishing real time positions (STIB-MIVB, TEC), live position will be shown. For companies that don't (De Lijn, NMBS/SNBC), we calculate the position based on the schedule (GTFS), corrected with published delays (GTFS-RT).

Every vehicle on the map is labeled with realtime / calculated position.

I also like https://computer.rip/ - not personal anecdotes from people who were there, but definitely well researched and interesting technology history.

Never heard of this one either. FCKGW on the other hand still triggers muscle memory.
