Privacy-focused search engine DuckDuckGo is growing fast

Yeah, probably fair that growth is probably just driven by an inctease in internet use. The most invasive internet tracking tends to come from smaller companies, and I'd have thought mostly not search engines, but I'm glad people are becoming more aware of tracking.

Sysnative - Forum Upgrade

This is probably just an advertising space that didn't load - we run ads for unregistered users to cover hosting and software costs. We've had this enabled since 2012. :-) You can either directly copy/paste the image into the text editor, or click the "Insert Image" button, or click "Attach...

Unknown device repeatedly connecting / disconnecting

Thanks everyone for the advice - I was trying a few things the last week and I'm pretty sure it's related to the two monitors I have. I don't actually have very many external devices plugged in, pretty much keyboard/mouse, and two external monitors. Not sure exactly how to resolve this.
