I don’t think you need a VPN here since you’re using an already secure protocol. Sounds like you’re mostly wanting a static IP address. You can configure the local router to hand out static IPs. Local DNS works too.
We found him boys. Take him away.
ChatGPT already has a free tier. It’s likely the same deal. Apple said you can link your ChatGPT account if you want access to premium features.
Cloudflare supports NS records, which is what you’re looking for. Except it probably only lets you create a zone for the top level domain, so you can only delegate to other providers. AWS Route53 will let you create subdomain zones, and will let you create NS records to set up delegation.
People mentioned Quad9, Cloudflare, Mullvad, and NextDNS already. Controld.com is also available for free with different levels of blocking. They also support DoH and DoT.

In my opinion the biggest problem with hardware keys is what happens when you lose them. You have to either provision the keys yourself, putting the secret on your computer. Or you have to buy backup keys and make sure to register both with all your services. You’ll end up using your phone or password manager as a “backup.” And then that backup becomes your primary 2FA.
How does NextDNS compare with controld.com?
How are you liking Controld vs NextDNS?
I tried Mullvad’s DNS service and found that it messed up sites that rely on geography based DNS routing. For example, I’d get sent to a service’s servers in Singapore instead of the US. This caused some noticeable lag.
You can buy a jacket that is (mostly) made out of cotton, and then wax it yourself. It’ll probably take you a few hours to do, but it can be done inexpensive. AliExpress has some cheap waxed jackets too.
Not direct advice. But I’ve switched from “technical” waterproof fabrics that use DWR chemicals, to waxed fabrics. I’ve found that after a year of use, the technical fabrics lose their ability to repel water, and I can’t get them back no matter what I do. Waxed fabrics are heavier and don’t breathe as well, but you can reapply wax to get them to repel water again.
There is a map search mode that does surface location aware results, after explicitly getting your permission to get your location.
They announced a few months ago that they would partner with Brave to surface Brave search results too. The CEO of Brave is known to be homophobic. People got mad, and Kagi’s response was that they are too small to be picky, and have to focus on search quality.
Smaller keyboards:
yup. if you’re running untrusted apps on your phone, make sure to turn off background refresh AND notifications. apps can run arbitrary code when they receive a push message. usually its so they can provide a better notification for the user, but they can collect data and phone back to the mothership too.
I really wanted to like Matrix, but the clients applications are trash. This looks like it has a nice client app at least.
