Having your router limit internet connectivity time is effectively the same thing these days. There are some things they can do offline but not much anymore.

Personally, I’d use the router to limit access to locations and times. It’s more reliable, easier to do, and lets you be less picky with your distro.

Using a DNS level content blocker like Adblock DNS is a great option, IMHO, and is super easy to setup.

Defragging works for that.

I shrunk my Win10 partition from within Windows to make space to dual boot into linux so you definitely can shrink an active partition.

I am completely enamored with Inkbound right now. Its a turn-based tactical roguelite by the guys who made Monster Train. It has a similar feel to the combat from Marvels Midnight Suns, which I loved also. It just came out of earl access recently.

Oh and they took out all the microtransactions in the game during EA. People complained and they listened! So there are some mechanics that look like, for example, a season pass, but it’s free and automatic now. I think that’s pretty awesome.

Anyways, game is fun. Devs are moral. Works in linux. A++

Rule of thumb: if a headline is a yes or no question, the answer is always no.

I have cancer. It’s SUPER fun having to deal with drug shortages every fucking month, let me tell you. Nothing makes a cancer patient feel better than having to call around to local pharmacies to see who can fill a painkiller prescription. And you can’t call for a refill even a single day before your current scrip is out. So they can’t have it ready for you or set it aside. You run out and then you have to fucking FIGHT to not have to deal with withdrawal on top of the pain. EVERY. SINGLE. MONTH.

But you know, profits are more important than health care. So I get it. Can’t have CEO’s going hungry just because I’m in a little pain.

Hell no. I came to Lemmy to get AWAY from the corporate overlords.
