I mostly use DuckDuckGo, because it gives a good mix of quality results and a strong privacy commitment. I really like the idea of distributed search and love the idea behind the yacy search engine. http://yacy.net however it doesn't quite give strong enough results yet for me to use it as a daily driver.

Results are very hit-and-miss, but if you're into the whole distributed search engine thing you should give Yacy a try. https://yacy.net/ I ran a node for a long time and as long as you keep feeding the index you usually get decent results for the things you search for often.
As a kid of the 90s who grew up playing a wonderful video game of the same name. I fully endorse Lemmings =)
I knew about Lemmy, Mastadon, and PeerTube before this this latest mess with Reddit, but this finally gave me the push to come over as I'm sure it will for many.
Void seems to be surprisingly popular, I haven't tried it. I'm a Gentoo user, any particular reason to give Void a try?
Playing the originals is a good starting point. You can setup a Sega Genesis emulator to play them, but you can also get them on Google Play store for free (gotta watch ads between levels). However, I wouldn't give up if those don't work for you, they can be punishingly difficult and some of the mechanics can be really frustrating. I think the one you might be thinking of on the Dreamcast would be Sonic Adventure (You can actually get a remastered version on Steam for like 10 bucks). Sonic Frontiers also works as a good starting point. You don't need any background knowledge to play and enjoy it. The characters reference some things from older games, but you're not really missing out if you don't get the references.
Looks like it has a lot of the same old Sonic mechanics I found so annoying: not being able to effectively see where you are going and if you get stopped on an incline, it takes you several seconds to get going again. I just finished playing Sonic Frontiers with my kids and we all enjoyed that one, I really hope they put out more following what they did with Frontiers.
Gloryhammer recently released a pretty great album. If you're into Powermetal and/or outlandish sci-fi/fantasy stories than you should check it out. You can find most of their work on YouTube.
I'm here from Reddit. The only thing keeping me there was the Reddit is Fun App, now that the API is going away, so is the only thing keeping me there. So, hello Lemmy =).
I had a section in university on binary exploitation. It was super fun. We got to do some buffer overflow attacks, dynamic linker exploits, and command injection. Reverse engineering is super frustrating for me, but very rewarding when you finally get it figured out. I admire those who can do it well.
Gentoo Linux here. I used Kubuntu for the longest time, but once they started forcing snapd down my throat, I jumped ship.
I choo-choo choose you.
