Cool, I have 8 months prepaid for a service I can no longer use because they have a months notice they're removing a feature I need. And they refuse to refund crypto, the payment method they supposedly prefer.
USB2 has a cap of 480mbps (includes overhead) while Bluetooth is stuck at several megabits per second (1.7 for Bluetooth 4, should be around double for Bluetooth 5).
WiFi can easily beat USB2 but Bluetooth certainly can't.
I faced a similar problem. I have now invested my money in an external battery instead to charge my phone if necessary. For me, this seemed like a simpler solution (also, I don't have to worry about a second SIM this way).
For iPhones, there are now batteries that do not even need cables.
You’re right, it’s 180% and I guess extra 90% for the 622, which makes Apple’s offering a bit ridiculous IMO (60% additional charge for double the price of the 622)
Thought the same thing. Finding the root cause is easier when you don't have to debug dozens of abstraction layers (KVM, Containerd/Docker, Kubernetes, etc).
> because I'd hit some limit (..) 10 days max is pretty bad
The free(!) plan includes 300,000 queries per month. That is transparent everywhere. On the website, pricing page and in the dashboard. You can even see how much you have already used. That's pretty fair for a free service for which you pay nothing. For me, that's enough for a whole month.

1. NextDNS sends an email before the limit is reached
2. Once the limit is reached, no more ads are blocked, but dns continues to work
Hey if it works for you, great. It didn't work for me. 10 days casual use for 1 person and then "pay me" is not a positive experience, so I found another solution.
How many days should a paid service give you free casual use for a positive experience?
You are using a consumable (CPU & data transfer, along with your desired amount of analytics data storage) that they pay for, and, shockingly, they are not ad supported.
I currently use a pi-hole. In a home of 2, we have 74k queries per day. That would effectively be a 4 day trial... so I can understand the other person's frustration.
If you use a Btrfs filesystem with snapshots, I can recommend Btdu as an alternative. Advantage: Can handle duplicate files (snapshots), which however only occupy 1x disk space.
More interesting than its support of Btrfs features is its unusual statistical approach:
> btdu is a sampling disk usage profiler […] Pick a random point on the disk then find what is located at that point […] btdu starts showing results instantly. Though wildly inaccurate at first, they become progressively more accurate the longer btdu is allowed to run.
It's not a secret that a no-log policy also attracts abuse.
