Unraid, mostly due to the flexible arrays.

which also includes their free services

Well... their free services remain free regardless of your registrar. Still, I don't really mind supporting them given how useful they have been even in just the free tier.

That's a very succinct rebuttal... I like it.

I host some private stuff on mine, hidden behind an authentication service that is. But because I just use a wildcard no-one can really tell what I have hosted - the same login page occurs for every subdomain, regardless of whether it's actually wired up to something.

That doesn't help with services you wish to make semi-public (like a lemmy instance) though.

I'd definetly recommend GitLab too - but it's not lightweight.

I wonder how reddit users would respond to this sort of treatment. We've already sorta proven that most users are addicted enough that they'd get away with it.

Suppose I shouldn't give anyone ideas though...

I personally prefer bitwarden, using a self-hosted vaultwarden. It's free, it syncs, it's easy to use.

It's more like using the pill and a condom. Different ad blockers can block different sets of ads.

RGB!!

More seriously, "gaming headphones" are almost always actually "gaming headsets", ie they have a mic. Good music headphones without a mic don't fulfil the requirements of quite a lot of gamers, and normal headsets are usually calibrated for voice and not immersiveness in games.

I really wish someone would teach these companies how to count.
My only guess is that they want to hide the insane amount of COD games there are.

Of course - I get that. I'm a programmer myself.

But it does have to be said that there's little excuse for not doing it anymore for heavy applications, especially games. The tools/frameworks/engines have vastly improved, and people know (at least roughly) ahead of time what work is going to slog the CPU, especially in the case of a AAA studio.

Note: I'm only referring to relatively modern games here - anything that's older than when multithread really took off gets an automatic pass - it's not reasonable to expect someone to cater for a situation that doesn't exist yet.

At least with Spotify, you don't specifically buy any songs.
GOG is the only good egg in your list. Shame their Linux support is awful...
