  • Short answer: Mobile hot spot (w/ your own cellular device) is preferable to public wifi from a security perspective.

    There are other considerations, such as how much cellular data downloads cost to you, what sites you’re visiting, what you’re actually doing, etc. In general, it’s advisable to avoid public wifi if you can, but if you must connect to public wifi, then you should make darn sure you connect to the right network (watch out for imposter networks w/ a legitimate looking name) and use VPN (ideally a paid service) to encrypt your traffic. Even with both of these measures, you’re best off avoiding sensitive activities like online banking on public wifi. If you must do banking or other sensitive stuff, either do it on your phone or wait until you get home.

    Hope this helps.

    Editing to add: When I initially responded, I’d forgotten which community I was in. In this context, I believe the other responses are better than mine, but I’ll keep mine up in case it helps other readers.







  • On chromecast I’ve been happy with SmartTube, which includes sponsor block and still allows me to log into YT so I get to keep my history.

    In Firefox I’ve just discovered an extension called Lib Redirect, which works for YT, Reddit, Twitter, and other sites. Highly recommend.



  • In addition to software solutions, how’s your hardware setup?

    • How far are you from your mic? And where is your fan located relative to you and your mic?
    • Do you have a dynamic mic or condenser mic? I’m not an expert, but I believe condenser mics tend to pick up more ambient noise from anywhere in the room compared to dynamic mics, which tend to more directional in nature.







  • Tough call. On one hand, choosing the primary sport probably makes it more likely that renderers will render some sort of icon for that sport. On the other hand, there’s the whole don’t map for renderers, prioritize capturing accurate data.

    When I’m torn, I try to find another example of what I’m mapping and see how somebody else mapped it. Look for a precedent if you will. If you’re comfortable with overpass and taginfo, those two sites can be invaluable in finding other examples to follow.

    Is anyone else able to actually read the article on mobile? When I tap the link, I can’t scroll past the first paragraph without a pop-up that takes up two-thirds of the screen. Toggling reader mode in Voyager doesn’t even work, there’s no content.

    EDIT: Opening it in Brave and toggling reader mode worked. I don’t understand people who run websites without wanting anybody to be able to actually read their content.
