Chicagon here. Indiana is 100% the south.

Never heard of this, but it sounds really neat. Can it actually replace ddg in my daily life?

CumBroth and oldfart, thank you for being internet heroes. Soulless is the best.

Ddclient has done the trick for me, and my registrar supports it with an API

I use slackware btw. Doing work for the computer is half the fun.

But I did learn something here, so thanks for that.

I use ddg to search for things in my area all the time. I just use near instead of near me.

I'm not google free though. I pay for YouTube premium and have a couple Gmail addresses.

I was on xfce for a long time due to having low power hardware. I got a decent computer around the time kde plasma came out. I tried it and have stayed on it.

I hate gnome with every fiber of my being.

My daily driver for ~25 years is still on sysvinit. I have plenty of experience with systemd based distros. I run proxmox on my home server. I don't hate systemd, but it's a lot less intuitive for me.

Example: I want to start the tailscale daemon and service at boot. Easy, add it to /etc/rc.d/rc.local . Oh wait, I want my laptop to check for an internet connection before trying to bring up tailscale. Otherwise the boot process halts for 20 seconds until it gives up. Easy, add a bash script in rc.local to test for an internet connection before trying to bring tailscale up.

I know the answer is systemctl something, but I have to look it up EVERY DAMN TIME. and this is just one of many things that have been giving me heartburn for years.

I think they'll all get their companies to pay for security details and armored cars. It'll make them feel even more self-important.

I call it butter fuss. Yours is better.

I use unbound with pi-hole inside an Ubuntu lxc container. No additional device needed.

Slackpkg or slackpkg+, without a doubt.
