Some credit cards offer 2% cash back… (Not points) So it’s hard to give that up when you get 2% off for just about every dollar you spend. Why wouldn’t you put every dollar on card you would normally spend.

This doesn’t work well if you are paying interest…

If you’re fiscally savvy and don’t overspend and can pay your balance in full every month and are not paying interest, this is a strong vote for choosing over cash.

However, without that…I see no benefit and would use more cash for all reasons in this thread.

Thanks for clarifying, I misunderstood the question.

The content on YouTube is golden and likely cannot be replaced, created elsewhere.

Hence, stripping the junk is what makes it palatable for me.

Cheers

If you can, set this up on your router and then specify which devices should route through.

You may also want to use pihole for ad blogging and as your DNS server. and in pihole use your VPN server’s DNS such that you don’t have DNS leak.

And if the VPN is down, your computer won’t work until it comes back up.

Helpful if you run the network at your house

I’ve been a fan of the dual boot option (sometimes separate hard drives)

Boot PC. Press F8. Select Windows drive and boot to windows 10 for gaming.

Most of time it defaults to Linux and that’s where i live the other 97% of the time

I have the same setup on my laptop. There’s always something easier on Windows whether I like it or not and it’s good to have the option.

Never had an issue with them coexisting.

This is a good (and fair) point.

However they still look ugly and scary and intimidating :)

I flew Icelandic air recently and they had A 4 minute long ad playing with no way to skip or mute that had to play before the entertainment system was available. It played a soon as you turned it on!

I had to unplug and look away for 4+ minutes

Because I can remember an IPv4 address and not a V6 address!

At least they could have added an extra octet to v4 instead of making it garbyremoved looking

I have not had an issue in… 9 years? Though I use separate physical drives which might help. I wouldn’t let that scare people away

Edit: I’m also using rEFInd Boot Manager. I have about 5 operating systems that I can boot into (good way to try various Linux distros)
