honestly not the worst possible choice. I used to love all these two panel file managers, starting with DOpus on the Amiga. cp rm etc. with modern globbing and autocompletion are ultimately just faster though.

I really like Vimium C from all the possible choices for keyboard-driven browser usage. It feels kind of like a meme at first but it actually works pretty well. I like it mostly because I can put the website in fullscreen mode and it looks really nice on my small 3:2 screen.

I do have to warn though that it's not vetted by Mozilla and chinkware, so it's quite possible that your browsing history of MLP fanfiction gets directly sent to Xi.

When I was doing an internship for tech support way back when I found a no-nonsense driver installer that will predownload all network drivers. For the life of my I couldn't remember what it was called until I finally stumbled across it again http://sdi-tool.org/ Snappy Driver Installer is the only one I found that won't shove bloatware or a paid version down your throat, and it will run as a portable app

What IRC clients people use nowadays? I remember using hexchat, mIRC and chatzilla, but that was years ago. I'd really prefer a firefox plugin client rather than standalone, but I can't find a good one.

Seconded for Weechat. I've got it running in a byobu/tmux session on a Pi Zero (that also acts as my DNS and DHCP server). If I need to check in, I just SSH over to the Pi, bring up the session, and see what's going on. Once done, F6 then Ctrl+D and go about my day.

Bit of a learning curve compared to mIRC, but once it's setup, it "just works."

Speaking of mIRC, has anyone ever actually *bought* a license for that? And is the upgrade method still just "drop new .exe into folder with all your existing scripts/settings/etc."?

I did after 10+ years of almost always having it up on the desktop because I felt the guy deserved some bucks finally. The one I wonder about is whether anyone ever bought WinRAR.

Someone on Funnyjunk bought TWO licenses of WinRAR. It was a pretty big deal at the time.

Correction: it was Ten licenses

>paying for proprietary WinRAR garbage instead of embracing glorious 7zip.

Not the best decision of my life since I now use 7-Zip.

This current Windows installation I have running is the first one I've ever done where I've forsaken WinRAR entirely for 7zip.
Not that big of a loss in the scheme of things, unless you're nostalgic for the ghastly purple archive logo.

Also, still able to handle RAR shit just fine from the shit I torrent so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

7-Zip is good for every compression and archive format except some of the newer ones (Zstandard.) Also, you can't create RAR archives in 7-Zip.

PrivateInternetAccess is fundamentally untrustworthy for me due to them being bought out by an Israeli spyware company a couple of years back. Insofar as wallet recommendations are concerned – you can’t go wrong with the classic Electrum for BTC, the official Monero wallet for XMR, and whatever you wanna use for ETH I guess.

Idk man, Jaxx Liberty was decent enough but it was rubbish whenever I actually needed to send bitcoin. Doesn’t surprise me to hear it’s gone.

Really? PIA is bought by an Israeli spyware company? Had no idea. Thanks, I am going to look into this. I wanted to go with Mullvad, but it has a device limit...

Proton VPN is a good product. The free plan has a limit of 3 devices on USNY, EUNL, and JPTYO servers, but the paid plan gives you a sizeable amount. Not to mention that you also get access to paid Proton Mail and Simple Login.

This is very helpful. Thank you for the recommendation. I am going to check it out. I am actually using the free proton mail for all my online activities that I want to keep separate from my IRL stuff.
