  • Dime Store Adventures is a guy who researches local history from around New England, travels there and makes videos about it. Often researching or trying to find something while filming, making it feel like an actual adventure. A lot of it is centered around cemeteries, background stories about the people buried there, grave monuments with crazy backstories, but also old newspaper articles, local legends and forgotten historical landmarks or geographical features. He seems pretty serious about doing his research, he clearly knows his way around local libraries and archives and I find his way of presenting the information and his enthusiasm about the subjects very engaging. Especially when he goes around looking for something and actually finds it.

    What on Earth is This? Is a British guy who travels mostly around Europe (sometimes further) and goes to see engineering features or other manmade structures that have interesting backstories or stand out in some way. He tries to do a pretty deep dive into why something was built or operated a certain way while keeping his videos short and to the point. I also really like his enthusiasm and way of explaining things.




  • I have a personal vendetta against OneDrive because it literally holds your files hostage. It uploads your data without your consent and then threatens to cut off access to your own files unless you pay up. It actively fights you when you try to regain control, up to and including reinstalling itself once you finally manage to uninstall it.

    It’s the main reason I finally got serious about switching to Linux (which I have and it has been amazing)

    I’m still mad though, fuck Microsoft. Evil assholes.
