help-circle


  • We have several in my area and they’re becoming more popular, but people have no idea how to navigate them, even when there are signs that say what to do. People will enter the circle and then slow down and sometimes stop to let someone into the circle. Some people don’t bother checking to see if it’s clear for them to enter the circle. I’ve come close to several accidents because someone decided to enter the circle without looking. Yeah, it just takes familiarity, but these are circles to enter and exit an interstate in a residential area so the most of the people using it should be familiar by now. It’s been several years since the circles were installed.














  • After everything went down and Sync stopped, my usage dropped considerably. I was still using Joey and Infinity for light browsing, but I haven’t really browsed Reddit in about a week and have been on Lemmy and Kbin exclusively. I feel more engaged here too.

    Browsing Reddit just seemed different, like the quality of posts and comments dropped considerably.


  • I got a Synology years ago hoping to do this, but I didn’t do enough research and the model I got couldn’t quite decide and stream very well. I ended up just using it for backup and using my PC as a Plex server for a while. I eventually got an Nvidia Shield and just plugged in a large SSD to it and that works well.



  • I’ve used it for a few years (paid family plan) and it works pretty well. I have no reason to try to switch to something else, at least for now. Password sharing is handy, and the Android mobile app is nice and integrates nicely into Gboard. It’ll remember apps and autofill those as well.

    That said I’ve been messing around with Proton Pass, since I’m paying for Proton Mail and other services. Seems pretty decent but I haven’t tried the Android app much.
