    Should I even bother?

    I'm familiar with Tor, but as mentioned I'm not doing anything nefarious, just in general want to have a more "warm and fuzzy" feeling about browsing the web. I don't need to go on the Tor Network Everytime I want to go on Instagram lol

    Should I even bother?

    I don't torrent or P2P whatsoever and if I wanted porn I would just go to pornhub so at least I know it's reputable LMAO. I honestly don't do anything shady at all, and have never received a letter from my ISP about anything ever in history, I just figured I would dabble in being safer. I...

    WOW What a difference a fan makes!

    So I recently picked up a brand new AC-68R, immediately put merlin on it and noticed right out of the box with no clock changes the CPU would hover around 78-80 degrees celcius.
