check out Floccus to sync your bookmarks across all browsers & devices. It improved my workflow significantly!

Depends on the site. Sadly, I see “Forbidden” all too often via Tor as well.

I’m not discouraging Tor use of course; just pointing out many sites block the Tor network as well.

Weird? Yes. Surprisingly common? Also yes. My bank is the exact same way - cannot deposit checks via their website. Must be in person or use their mobile app. It’s really irritating.

I can’t speak to that keyboard, but I cannot recommend enough the Nord series of boards over Roland. Nothing against Roland - I’ve owned Roland boards and they were good, and my main amp is also Roland. Nord keyboards are just fantastic though.

Have fun! Don’t neglect your scales. They’re boring, but effectively build useful muscle memory.

I have a Brother color laser printer (technically it’s like LED or something? not home, don’t have the exact model handy). It has built in wifi and ethernet for network printing. The wifi isn’t configured, and the ethernet is manually configured with a static IP for my LAN… but no gateway address. This breaks outgoing network connections to the internet (as evidenced by the printer’s inability to check for firmware updates), while behaving otherwise normally for all my LAN devices. I hope this info is useful!

Good choices. I too run Librewolf by default, with ungoogled Chromium standing by for the occassional asshat website intentionally designed to work exclusively on Chrome

this is the way

Safeway. That’s only one of the several good reasons why I don’t shop there.

If you buy a new Pixel and then run an alt rom like graphene or lineage, you’re most likeley costing Google money. I believe they manufacture the Pixel at a small loss because they expect to make their money back harvesting and selling your personal data. Denying them that should mean you get decent hardware at a fair price, without really “supporting” Google as much as you fear. I could be wrong, but I’ve definitely seen that mentioned before.
