    I’d like you to meet my wife so I sound more sane in comparison lol.

    Jokes aside, why would these random people target you, unless you’ve revealed some interesting details about wealth or inheritance or something? I mean yeah they could randomly target you, but odds are of those 3-4 guys 1 ends up coming after you?? Not likely.

    Doesn’t hurt to obscure your info, but I think you’d be fine in the long run.

    Personally I don’t know anyone whose life was destroyed by some guy in the internet tricking them. Maybe a few older people falling for gifting a few hundred bucks but that’s it. Maybe a cryptolocker too, but again, less of a big deal.

    God, it’s not hard to read an article instead of speculate in the comments.

    “The new built in blocker will use Brave’s adblock library and run in Waterfox’s main browser process rather than as an extension. Kontos says this should make adblocking faster, more tightly integrated, and less dependent on extension APIs or constant upstream updates.”

    He also said Brave’s library was chosen partly because its MPL 2.0 license is a better fit for Waterfox, while deeper integration with a blocker like uBlock Origin would be more complicated because of its GPLv3 license.

    Waterfox will still make one exception by default by allowing text ads on its default search partner page, currently Startpage, as a way to support the browser financially. The team clarified that this is Waterfox’s own revenue decision and not something inherited from Brave’s adblocking technology. Users who want stricter blocking will be able to disable all ads with a single setting, while people who already use third party blockers can keep using them as usual.

    This, to me, is fine, because I change the default regardless. There’s nothing stopping anyone else from doing the same. Sure, this could potentially open the door for additional “greedy” decisions down the road, but let’s not jump to conclusions.

    No, mSATA looks like m.2 but is functionally different, using SATA data not PCIe.

    If you’re using some m.2 to RJ45 adapter, I’m guessing you’re limited to the 1Gbs RJ45 bandwidth regardless of the card’s technology, unless your Ethernet is 2.5Gb or something faster.

    Even if your m.2 PCIe devices support greater speeds, the adapter itself might have “USB 2.0-like” throughput.

    Best bet it you’re looking to add PCIe devices to a supermicro motherboard, buy a m.2 PCIe expansion card to achieve this so you can natively utilize PCIe lanes for the best bandwidth whether it’s WiFi, storage, etc.

    Edit: I realize you said additional sata ports which they have PCIe SATA expansion boards too.

    To me, “Influencers” are fucking terrible at “acting”, they’re desperate for attention and validation, and have little viable skills with anything online. They’re all obnoxious, loud, and overly energetic like in a state of panic trying to sell their souls for more views for ad revenue and sponsors.

    If they’re the next to be picked for lead-or even supporting acting roles, I’m out. I won’t touch another Hollywood movie again, which says a lot, bc I own about 5k DVDs, Blu rays, UHD BD, and yes, even several dozen in 3D…
