    I recently hosted a free ec2 pihole that is connected to my tailnet. So everywhere I go all my devices have pihole. It wasnt too tough either. I can give you some documentation if you think it’d work for you. (One less thing to carry)

    I’ve found that (in the United States) a three-pronged plug will always fit snug into a hotel outlet, so a small power strip or grounded charger / extension cord will fix the loose hotel outlet problem. Bonus points if it also puts the electricity closer to where you need it.

    I definitely hear the cable when it’s off or silent, but never when it’s on. I also have ATH-M50xBT so I use the cable less often. I have never had creaking fortunately, or if I do I haven’t heard it. Senheisser is my second choice for next set depending on brand vibes.

    I’ll third the ATH-M50 rec. I’ve been using my current pair for nearly 10 years and my previous pair was also 10 years. I recently replaced the ear cups (I think $20 total?) and wrapped the head band in gaffer tape. But my next set is probably also gonna be ATH-M50.

    You so eloquently summed up my music taste! Can you please share some of your more current playlists?! (I say while listening to episode 370 of ASoT)

    my deep love for female vocal-forward trance and house. Emotive and energizing stuff.

    Yeah that’s true, my bases really only get up to 100spm (space age). I’m not a megabaser unfortunately.

    If you have the money (and time) I highly recommend a Steam deck. It runs factorio great! A little tweaking of the community control layout and you’re good to go. The touch pad does a lot of the heavy lifting.

    I was able to beat space age in 101 hours on only the deck. Plus the suspend / resume is incredible.

    (The 256GB LCD version is 20% off right now though Valve / Steam)

    I actually switched to this from using Wealthfront. I had them robo-invest for me for 5 years with 3% return while VTI made 10% in the same time. So I said screw out and dumped into VTI and never looked back. I’ve had 10% return YoY for 5 years now.

    Have you attempted to contact linked in support? And did you give a reason you couldn’t connect your work email? It seems like if it’s for work you can use your work email… or have IT create an email alias for you. At work I was given the standard email and I asked IT to use a more generic alias and they got it to me rather quickly.
