I use Ghostery in both Chrome and Firefox. It blocks most, if not all, trackers on the web pages I visit. As for Internet Explorer, I just don't use it for anything beyond making sure the current web projects load correctly on it.

For all my ad-blocking needs, I use Pi-hole, running on a Linux VM that otherwise wouldn't be doing anything at all anyway.
Bonus - it's network-wide and will filter ads equally for all devices.

That sounds pretty darn useful. I might just have to learn Linux just for that.

It's a good excuse to learn it. Ubuntu is ridiculously easy to install these days (especially in a VM), and installing Pi-hole itself is just a few trivial commands that are explained well enough, even for a newbie.

IIRC developermedia is a CP owned domain. Not sure if they use it for anything beyond their in house advertising dept.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

My mom and I have decided to open presents we get before Christmas if we want to (although I am going to save at least some of them for the 25th!), so I opened a couple (that go together). A Nintendo Switch, Super Mario Odyssey, and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (the games were in the same package).
Already loving Super Mario Odyssey. That is a FUN game!
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Went to sleep at about 22:30 last night, little on the late side considering my alarm goes off at 05:00.
Forget about that, I woke up at friggin 01:00 for no reason at all and haven't been able to sleep after that.
WHAT THE ACTUAL F***!?
Just got out of bed and preparing for a very tough day.
I just hope I won't fall asleep behind the wheel

I was just asleep when ing PagerDuty fired off. After monitoring the situation for an hour it looks like it self resolved and I can go to sleep.
Melatonin might help.

Sounds like it might be stress related?
Also, how much and how late into the night do you have coffee?
|
|
|
|

Stress never kept me awake like this.
I don't drink coffee (well, sometimes a 50/50 chocolate milk/coffee with milk).
Today I'm on my third chocolate milk/double espresso

But I don't stress all that much.
Actually, I haven't been this relaxed since last year!
I've had some stress this year due to a book I had to write (but that's finished now)

A book about driving cars with a camping trailer in tight formations?
Or one about cultivating cucumbers, tomatos and tulips?
Making and wearing wooden shoes?
How to operate windmills?
Survival guide when the dam breaks, special chapter about where to get cheese?
Boating with the camping trailer (in case the dam breaks).
Anything, as long as it is not about JavaScript...
