How do you decide which services are worth paying for and which are not?

To what extend are you grateful for free services? I made another post roughly asking, who of you are willingly paying for the stuff you can have for free making life better for all of us. Some of your had interesting answers, some donated to wiki others to bitwarden or to some dev of FOSS software, that’s great, but now,...

Star Trek TNG Singing Bar Scene

For many years now I’ve had in my memory this scene from star trek tng where, for whatever reason, a group of British officers and Irish officers led by O’Brien start getting nationalistic and sing their respective national songs at each other. I remember the British were singing “Rule Britannia” but I don’t recall the...

Star Trek transporters

Transporters work by de-assembling something (e.g. you) and re-assembling it somewhere else. What if, when you’re dis-assembled, you die, and the re-assembled version of you is essentially a copy? Then every time someone steps onto a transporter, their final thought before death is that they’ll end up beamed somewhere else....

Direct Downloads always lead to "check internet connection"

This is something I’m noticing in the ROM space, especially for non-retro titles like WiiU titles. The file sizes are often very massive, between 5 and 20 GB.

Is there an app that will chart the quality of my internet connection over time?

I’m not a big networking guy, so I’m not sure exactly the best way to ask this. My internet tends to drop out a lot, and I get disconnected. I’m wondering if there’s an app out there that I can just put on on my laptop or phone and let it run in the background for like 24 hours to see exactly how many times my internet...

WM/DE recommendation request: able to have i3-like control, but friendly enough for an ex-windows user

I’ve been using i3wm for long enough that i now can’t go back to a user interface that requires me to use a mouse to get stuff done. However, I’m setting up an old laptop that will be used by both me and my SO for mainly media purposes, but also as my general-use computer for basic tasks. He has been using windows since...
