    If you go by Gandalf’s age as a Maia in general, he’d be as old as the world. So, roughly 10,000 years, if you don’t account for the fact that the Years of the Lamps and the Years of the Trees were longer than a standard year.

    If you go by when he showed up in Middle-Earth as Gandalf the Grey in year 1000 of the Third Age he’d be 2018 at the time he confirms Bilbo’s ring is the One and confronts Frodo about it in year 3018 of the Third Age.

    Gandalf The Grey would have been 2019 years old when he was mutually slain by Durin’s Bane after falling from the bridge in Khazad-Dum.

    Gandalf The White then first appeared a few months later and would be only two years old at the time he sails west with Frodo, Bilbo, Galadriel, and Elrond.




  • Changing the default settings wouldn’t mean changing any individual user’s settings. It would mean changing the default settings you get the first time you login. Which the user could then change to their preference.

    If you have a bunch of elderly/non-savvy people who are using your server, being able to change the default settings to something sensible for that set of users would be a good feature to have.









  • YouTube has a “Don’t recommend this channel” option. Which, as far as I can tell, does actually get them to stop recommending the channel on the main recommended feed. If you’re subscribed they’ll still show up in your subscriptions and will still show up in search if you look for them (to the extent that anything relevant shows up in search).

    The option isn’t prominent, it’s in the “3-dot” menu next to a video on the recommended feed and I’ve been unable to find a way to view or manage the list of blocked channels, but it’s there.

    Edit: a word - “able” to “unable”
