VPN Recommendations?
I’ve been using Mullvad for the past few months. Have not had many issues with it aside from the 5 device limit and the removal of port forwarding. I’m currently looking at Private Internet Access as a potential replacement. It looks like it offers 10 device limit and port forwarding included with the price....

homemade Cajun seasoning?
I love Cajun seasoning on baked sweet potatoes and on scrambled eggs but I cannot find a premade mix that isn’t extremly salty. Can anyone recommend a good recipe for a Cajun seasoning mix that doesn’t rely on way too much salt to be tasty?

Content
I’m trying not to suck up too much Reddit but IAF content is hard to source without a large community. It’s the diamonds in the rough that make IAF special. Should I dig into the archives once every couple days when it’s dry to keep the content rolling or let it be?
Same exact product each bought a few months apart from each other. The boxes are otherwise identical.

Pro-tip: Self-hosting Lemmy? You can use object storage to back pict-rs (image hosting) to save a lot of money

YSK that putting anything on the airbag of your steering wheel will become a projectile if you crash and can seriously harm or kill you or a passenger.
Why YSK: An airbag typically deploys at 100-200 MPH and if your phone is sitting there it will be launched towards you and probably impale you. Don’t put your phone on your steering wheel over your airbag. Don’t put any alternate logos or bedazzling on your airbag. Basically don’t do anything to or put anything on your...

TIL Reddit used to be open source. In 2017, they went closed source citing ‘transparency’ issues

How do I use Ice Cubes (iOS app) for Lemmy.World?
I read somewhere in here that other fediverse apps like Ice Cubes should be able to access Lemmy.World content to give one an experience similar to the Reddit app. I have Ice Cubes already for viewing mastodon posts and it works ok....
Why are we copying over so much Reddit content?
I think it’s great that so many people want to build and grow Lemmy, but why are we doing it by copying over Reddit content? It didn’t seem as bad when it was funny pics or memes or whatever, but now I’m seeing discussion threads, which doesn’t make sense to me....
Thoughts on RHEL going closed source ?
I’m curious about what you think on how it will affect the Linux community and distros (especially RHEL based distros like Fedora or Rocky).
How do I download Spotify playlists?
Edit: Solution is Zotify, use a burner account for this type of use (playing songs on speakers, quality is fine at 160kbps). It’s a bit hard to setup and use, but nothing major. SpotifyDown is the next best option Imo, cannot download full playlists but quality is good. (Not using audio from YouTube videos) Most other options...

Do You Think There Would Have Been a Large Protest if Steve Huffman Just Said We're Charging to Use the API to Increase Revenue?
I’ve been a long time Redditor and an Apollo user for about a year. I even paid for it. The main draw for me was the lack of advertising. In the back of my head I kept thinking that it couldn’t last. Reddit is losing revenue from the lack of advertising views. It didn’t...
