I ORDERED 7 LOIN ROASTS OF BEEF TODAY.

THEY can be roasted or cut into 2 nice loin steaks.

I'm not seeing any ads because

 ↑ I use that.

Works great still on YouTube for me as well.

Also works great with Tubi.

Advertising does serve one valuable purpose though.

It lets you know which products to boycott: all advertised products.

I didnt even  notice those as ads, hah I think my brain got trained to ignore shit that's a distraction to what I'm looking for.

Well if it pays for the content I want I guess we have to put up with some shit.

That works as well, unless you're allowing yourself to be influenced subliminally.

Very true, but I just clicked on a few of those and all they did was bring me to the product they have pictured.

I didn't stop me from finding what I'm looking for.

For instance I saw coolers on there as well and dug into the review and found these two charts which are exactly what I want.

I cant stand a loud system so I was able to find comparisons for AIO's and static coolers @ 20DB



I also checked into their methodology and was pretty impressed.

So like I said I found this site after a 10 minute search and had to go through tons of shill sites to find one that actually does proper testing.

I personally can overlook the huge ad links for this type of data.

IIRC the reason Johnny Guru closed is because of monetization issues.

They never hit a point where they got sustainable traffic.

People expect everyone to work for them for free these days unless they are a muti billion dollar conglomerate and then people argue to protect their bottom line.

*this world is fucked and full of retards when 2 guys in a garage working their ass off can't pay for food and electric yet conglomerates can afford to send people to the moon.

Exactly. That's what I do.

I guess some subliminal persuasion is still acting on me even if I don't realize. I'm just an ape of the Homo genus, just like all the others. Well, not really all, but I guess you get my gist.

The site looks cool but they want to kill me with ads. Each steps comes with ads which almost wear me out.

Pi-hole

your DNS servers for your network

https://pi-hole.net/

Still didn't find the time to configure and integrate it into my home LAN, but it's a great solution.

OT:
I'm posting the last astrophotography pic of the year, the "Spaghetti Nebula" SH2-240.
Integration time: 6h 5m, with 2x2 binning (that means 4 sensor pixels are combined into one = more light per pixel).
It is a dim, big nebulous supernova remnant, which didn't even fit on the sensor at 430mm focal length (my smallest telescope), and i had to combat 70% full moon with a dual narrowband filter. Both of them (filter and moonlight) took away a little detail, contrast and brightness, but i willingly decided to go for a picture under these special
conditions, out of curiosity, and i'm impressed how much the editing was getting out of the raw data.



EDIT: Replaced the original image with a different edit, because of a horrible background gradient. The new edit also features an entirely different stretching method, revealing finer details, but the coloring suffers a bit.

Good suggestion. And free.

While we're at it, and for those looking for a good VPN, I highly recommend Mullvad VPN.

https://mullvad.net/en

For a flat fee of 5 € (about $6) / month, you get one of the best VPNs out there (read the details on their site), with true anonymity: there is no registration, just a randomly generated 16-digit number, much like a Bitcoin wallet's seed. They don't ask for emails or other personal info, and you can pay by Bitcoin, Monero, or you can even post cash in an anonymous envelope to a PO Box in Sweden.

I'm mentioning it here, because they include ad-blocking DNS in their package.

Yes, I'm always using it.

The ads I mentioned earlier still show (my screenshot is what I see through Mullvad VPN). If you look at the ads, they are neatly arranged in a column, and are 100% related to the site's content. I think these ads are hard-coded in the website code, so any ad-blocking tools would likely consider them as part of the site. They are not obtrusive, and I didn't even think they were ads until I specifically went there looking for them after Odohu mentioned them.

Maybe without uBO or ad-blocking DNS the ads would become more obtrusive. As it shows on my system, the site is perfectly readable, and with technically sound reviews (my first impression).

It's new year in my country.

Wishing everyone out there a very happy and prosperous year.

Bitcoin will surly continue to grow in 2026.

That's exactly what it looks like with ublock origin and noscript for me.

and I disabled noscript and there is no viewability change.

 I see what you mean now.  I didn't notice them as ads!  I thought they were images with links to site content so if you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have known.

It looks to me like they are direct links to the pictured hardware, I do not even see tracking nor referrals in the links, they are clean, so just a basic ad space.

I also noticed they seem to be hardware that has been reviewed for the few I saw so correct me if I'm wrong.

They should be shrunk down alot though.

Pi-hole is a game changer; I run it directly on my Asus router with custom Merlin firmware and have stopped ads all across the house. You can go an extra step and add a Tailscale too it as well so even while you're out of the house your mobile devices are still blocked by the pi-hole instance you have at home - highly recommend

I feel the usual 4 year cycles are dead from now on

We had a (laughable) ATH but this should have been a green year. In addition we now have 2 of 4 red years, when it was always just one.


Happy New Year everyone!

Happy New Year everyone!

Welcome to the club.

The question is do we act like gold did 1992-2002

Stay in a 200-400 slot and now it is 11x bigger.

So does btc do 75k-135k for 6,7  years than go to a million around 2033?




6 , 7 was intentional
