My @FreshRSS installation is the first, last, and sometimes only place I go on the Internet. When a site doesn't have a feed but I wish it did, I add one using middleware (e.g. danq.me/far-side-rss).
Here's to the next 20 years of my #RSS addiction. -
Found GC944X7 Pop! Bang! Crack! Goes the Christmas Cracker
This checkin to GC944X7 Pop! Bang! Crack! Goes the Christmas Cracker reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. The second of the caches in this series that I found in between errands, this afternoon, was probably the easiest, because the hiding place reminds me distinctly of one of my own hides! …

Found GC93YF2 O Christmas Tree
This checkin to GC93YF2 O Christmas Tree reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. I'd picked this one out as an essential for this afternoon's "between jobs" hunt, because it completes my Solar System Wonders set. How pleased I was to find that through this cache a tree is properly - …

Found GC93W4C Twelve Days of Caching
This checkin to GC93W4C Twelve Days of Caching reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Having "solved" all the puzzles some time ago I'm picking away at finding the caches in this series a few at a time, starting the other week, every time I happen to be passing nearby. I …

Found GC6H7JG Herbology
This checkin to GC6H7JG Herbology reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. I get precious little time for geocaching lately: between work, childcare, household and volunteering commitments it's a challenge to squeeze in a quick expedition here and there. That's doubly-true as the days get shorter: after finishing work, feeding the …

Chrome is the new Safari. And so are Edge and Firefox.
...
I am not saying Apple’s approach is wrong. What Apple is doing is important too, and I applaud the work Apple has been doing in improving privacy on the web.
But it can’t be the only priority. Just imagine what the web would look like if every browser would have taken that approach … -
Found GC6FD6N Cumnor Minions - Norbert
This checkin to GC6FD6N Cumnor Minions - Norbert reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. A quick almost-CnD on the school run. I'd love to come back and do the series someday! Found easily (although the hint object is nowhere in sight!), but container was challenging to open! Luckily the edge …

Found GC93T66 Mistletoe and Wine
This checkin to GC93T66 Mistletoe and Wine reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. "Solved" all the puzzles some time ago, then came out to find this cache as a drive-by (on the minor, not the major, nearby road, of course!) while in-between other errands nearby. Was looking for something smaller …
