Don’t forget removing competitors! Gotta remove those competitors. That’s what healthy businesses do. /s
- Comment on Favourite controllers 2 days ago:
My description of the perfect controller:
- nice size and hand fit
- left joystick is “up” at a natural spot (sorry PS enthusiasts, those low sticks suck)
- buttons are “chicklet” style (Xbox round buttons feel awkward)
- one set of trigger buttons are “throttle” style
- sits on a flat surface without any buttons being pressed
Not sure if there’s one out there that meets all of those. But I have a certain fondness for the GameCube controller. Always felt comfortable, and I actually liked the asymmetric button layout.
- Comment on True quality 4 days ago:
I just made a deck with that a few years ago. There are actually two types: composite (wood covered in plastic) and full plastic. The boards are perfectly straight and it’ll never need stain. It was definitely more expensive, but it’s nice up here in Michigan.

If the high-ups at Arrowhead knew and made that decision anyway, it’s squarely on them, full stop.

- Comment on Ubisoft Is Taking Away Your Games... 4 weeks ago:
No idea, I didn’t mean directly for The Crew, just getting DRM-free games. Anything that depends on a server is obviously still subject to the company’s whims, but at least I won’t get my account deleted and lose my library of games.

- Comment on I have unlimited cellular data on my phone but not if I use it as a hotspot. 1 month ago:
If I recall correctly, they justify it by claiming they need to do deep packet inspection to balance traffic. There’s a fuzzy line between them needing to optimize their network equipment and respecting privacy, and the rulings seem to favor the former.
- Comment on I have unlimited cellular data on my phone but not if I use it as a hotspot. 1 month ago:
I tried that, the carrier could still differentiate it from local traffic (or at least my speed test results were vastly different).
- Comment on I have unlimited cellular data on my phone but not if I use it as a hotspot. 1 month ago:
A less complicated method that I used for years:
- Install SimpleSSHD on your phone
- If you’re running Windows, install PuTTY on your PC
- Connect to SimpleSSHD through PuTTY/ssh and set a parameter for dynamic forwarding (CLI option is
-D 8888
) - Set your web browser or application to use SOCKS5 proxy at
localhost
port8888
It doesn’t redirect all traffic (you’d want to avoid system updates, for example) but might be easier than messing with iptables.
