Hygge is ingrained in Danish culture and part of the everyday routine. There is no direct translation into English, but most people describe hygge as a state of coziness, relaxation, and peace. https://ow.ly/NV4T50XvRia

Just added @cira.ca's Canadian Shield DoH DNS servers into DNSCrypt's public DNS server list. If you are using the dnscrypt-proxy, you can now easily add all 3 of CIRA's DoH DNS servers (including IPv6) - great if you are running a Pi-hole: status.dnscrypt.info?sort=name

📰 New from me: Support for HEVC/H265 is being removed from devices coming from Dell, HP and Lenovo, even if the hardware supports it. Why? Most likely due to license fees increasing.
