byg80on Ask HN: What Router Do You Use?

Some old crusty Linksys from the early 2000's. I really should upgrade but I'm too lazy and locked into a great grandfathered deal from my ISP. They keep trying to offer me new routers and cable boxes just to break the deal but I'm smarter than that. I pay $25 a month for a 20 mbit connection.

byg80on Ask HN: Is non-adjustable mobile font size a real problem?

byg80on Ask HN: How did you discover Hacker News?

It was mentioned on Snapzu, a similar community.

byg80on Let's talk content. AMA

Go to Voat if you want the free speech (also some of the bad hate that comes with it) in a nice little familiar package (it's almost identical to reddit.)

Go to Snapzu if you want more than a clone that has some rules (no hate) and a solid community, but most importantly tries to innovate and not just copy reddit.

Go to Hubski if you want a civil place to discuss things without all the flashy pictures and what not.

The price jumps are all over the place.
