@SquiffSquiff @some_guy They do that here to some degree. ISP’s DNS give a shitty warning about pirating if you try to visit any of the normal places for that kind of thing. Personally i just use a local DNS over HTTPS server. Which reminds me I need to see if he/she would like a donation.

@howrar @dantheclamman I needed a replacement garage door remote last week. Bunnings has them locked to the shelf thing. I did bend it a fair amount but couldn’t get the thing off. Found an employee who seemed as pissed off as I was. He didn’t have a key though. So had to disappear for quite some time to find one. It’s a $60 product in a reasonable size pack. Not a $6000 item I can slip in my pocket. Another reason to shop online (I needed that item that day otherwise I would have got it online)

@ubergeek @ricdeh Are we far off minor skirmishes and war-ettes over what big G names various places?

@ForgottenFlux I lost one of my pair of hardware keys last week. Waiting for replacement to arrive - #Bitwarden will be the first thing I register it into
