  • Great lists so far. I’ll add one that I picked up from a previous thread:

    URLCheck

    URLCheck acts as an amazingly customizable and powerful intermediary when opening url links, allowing, among other things: to remove trackers, affiliate links, unnecessary elements, check Hosts, facilitating link holding and sharing, protecting against certain phishing techniques and many more…

    Correct, in the same way that guns are not inherently evil and require someone with bad intentions to use them in a bad way. Both are correct, but sadly the folks who believe a certain way (books are bad or guns are bad) will not be convinced to change their point of view by a snarky sign.



  • Here was the best explanation I found in the Toot link above: @rothko@beige.party … it’s not a riddle. each phrase is merely a statement of fact.

    “What” is a word made up of 4 letters.

    “Yet” is made up of 3.

    “Although” is written with 8 letters"

    and “then” with 4.

    “Rarely” consists of 6, and

    “never” is written with 5.

    it’s not actually asking for an answer


  • The RPi 5 was rolled out differently then previous models. His time they dedicated initial inventory to consumers instead of larger clients and allowed retailers to do pre-orders. They just started shipping and have not fulfilled the backlog of pre-orders yet. Until that happens, you won’t see them in stock since they have already been claimed. I pre-ordered mine the first day and my estimated arrival time isn’t until some time in November.

    The biggest benefit is that I was able to purchase at MSRP and know they will get it to me as soon as earlier orders have been fulfilled. I don’t have to constantly refresh the stock finder and try to order before scalpers snatch them up and resell for way above MSRP.
