Boring company's las vegas tunnel is horrible. It's a one-way tunnel that barely provides transit to anybody. [1]

What probe did Indians crashed on the moon on purpose? I wasn't able to find anything about it.

Is it the Vikram lander that was destroyed while landing because of a software glitch?

Yeah, it only works if you have cookies enabled(works with js disabled). You could use containers or CookieAutoDelete if you use firefox to auto delete cookies later. Or just configure the browser to be on incognito mode always with only third-party cookies disabled.

Itunes can also sync over Wifi[1] or You can use Nextcloud[2]. You can backup your photos to your PC/Mac and then upload them to a cloud service. I use duplicati[3], it automatically encrypts and compress your files and uploads them to the cloud service of your choosing. I use Backblaze B2 for the cloud service($0.005/GB)[4].

My somewhat minimalistic youtube: https://imgur.com/a/hkrB04F

I use Stylus plugin to resize the videos and ublock filters to hide things like breaking news, views, "For You" search results etc.

Pihole does not block YouTube Ads. You can use Smart Youtube TV to watch ad free YouTube on your TV.

Privacy and ad blocking for whole network instead of just one device and you can also add your own custom dns servers for extra privacy.

For ex: Pihole + Unbound
