Pinfeathers

That’s a nice looking knife! It doesn’t look like there’s gimping on the spine, is that a design choice or something else? I like the profile, big belly is generally good for those utility tasks.

Why do so few self-host?

I would love to but the main issue is I don’t have motivation, the time to learn, or the money to set it up the way I’d like. I can’t even get a pihole running atm, despite trying. I once had a server on my old desktop but couldn’t even take the time to rip all my movies to Jellyfin. I’m also concerned about having all my stuff in one location (and if that’s the same with a corp then that doesn’t change with me self hosting 😬). I would love it for privacy but there’s a few options that are convenient and supposedly secure enough that I am willing to make the trust compromise. I would really like to own my router or set up that pihole though, but see first sentence :/

Does anybody regularly side ride? How often is your torch flung across the room?

My knife gets yoinked out of my pocket by the environment too much already and I carry it on the inside. This is a bad idea. I make the compromise to a smaller flashlight for EDC (rovyvon A4 iirc?) and if I need something bigger I can make an exception and throw it in a pocket (uncomfortably) or a bag. If you really need a bigger light all the time you could try a belt pouch, a fanny pack or sling, or pants with more pockets.

My hot take on the Brave browser

Appreciate your post, nice to see people having level takes for something. I normally go through all my browser settings anyway during setup so a lot of the technical issues people were having I see as nonissue, UNLESS it gets added in during an update (where I wouldn’t notice) and is opt-out, not opt-in. It’s a good recommend for new users who aren’t super tech savvy and just need a plug and play.
