  • For me, as an SRE:

    • Mullvad VPN
    • Google Drive (until I set up my NAS)
    • YouTube Premium
    • ChatGPT (but I am thinking of trying out Claude 3 instead)

    Other, non-tech subscriptions:

    • Public transport
    • Public bike sharing
    • Food delivery

    Things I might pay for if my employer didn’t:

    • IntelliJ Ultimate
    • GitHub Copilot

    Random IT-adjacent services I occasionally donate to:

    • Codeberg
    • Wikipedia


  • Also, USB4 can optionally support PCIe tunneling, which is a fancy way of saying it supports plugging more advanced types of hardware in (like GPUs, high-speed network cards or NVMe SSDs) at speeds of up to 40Gbps.

    And there is USB4 v2 (not kidding, that’s the name) which extends USB4 to up to 80Gbps, but there are no devices that support that yet.



  • EDIT: This only seems to work for audio, thanks for pointing it out

    Try the AirCast community addon. The description says:

    AirPlay capabilities for your Chromecast players. Apple devices use AirPlay to send audio to other devices, but this is not compatible with Google’s Chromecast. This add-on tries to solve this compatibility gap. It detects Chromecast players in your network and creates virtual AirPlay devices for each of them. It acts as a bridge between the AirPlay client and the real Chromecast player.

    Sounds like just the thing you want, although I haven’t tried it personally.
