I bought a comedically huge 42 inch LG monitor recently, because they got too cheap to refuse.

Mixed on Firefox
Firefox is better in a privacy and politics sense; but a lot of sites are getting to be Chrome-specific, so I use what I have to.

Mixed on QNAP NAS
I do have a QNAP NAS for local file service, movies and music, but I foolishly bought one with too little RAM so to keep it from paging I have it reboot itself every 24 hours.

Loved ThinkPads
I still have a couple ThinkPads kicking around – a 32GB W530 and an older X61 – they still work, they're nigh-indestructible.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
