I hate technical difficulties and I have spent a lot of time with testing and understanding how things work.

Therefore I put together this page, so that you do not need to test – you can just instantly pick what is working.

Of course, I will not be able to add everything that I am using, but I will try to update this list time to time, so that you can stay up to date with it.
