  • I mean, your connection to your email provider is encrypted (I hope!) - probably with TLS

    Your email provider will communicate with the receivers email server over an encrypted connection (probably TLS again)

    Your recipient connects to their provider over a secure connection too!

    Yes, your email companies can read it, but that is the case with lots of IM providers too.....

  • How much does it spam, if I run it am I likely to get ip banned anywhere?

    ...Or in trouble for 'visiting' unsavoury sites?

  • I mean, during COVID, the folding@home network was the most powerful 'datacentre' in the world by quite a margin.

    Home computing leaps almost as fast as the data centres do.

  • One I made up for a caster who always missed their rolls was a sentient wizards hat 'clippy'. "I see you were trying to cast Eldrich Blast, do you need help with that" and occasionally giving them advantage (they really were rolling awfully)

    I was bad at RPing it though and that campaign ended shortly after anyway

  • That would be wisdom! I tend to let it do that too as it's funny

  • If they can get the starship reusability close to that of the falcon 9, nevermind what they are aiming for, it will work. The problem with the space shuttle was how hard it was to reuse it.

  • Any advice on how? I would love to be able to play vr racing games etc

  • A funny one i found on Reddit:

    Glasses of hindsight: provide a passive perception of 20 of events suitably far in the past

    Be careful with magic items, I let my guys buy a trident of fish command.... In a desert. But it turns out lots of snakes etc have a swim speed....

  • Great game, huge download. Can never get everyone on to play it because it's so big and people keep having to delete it.

  • That post is from 10 days ago, so is probably the traffic mod?

  • That's stupid, notepad is meant to be simple....

  • What is politics though?

    Sure, it's about an election or a politician, it's political.

    If I complain about the sewage system, is that political? (Could be now in the UK!)

    If I talk about the job/housing market, is that politics?

    If I discus new bus routes is that? (Local politics!)

    Almost everything is or can be made political if someone tries.

  • I put them in the fridge... On top of the egg holder ... In their box 😈

    I don't get through many, so putting them there means I know they are probably still good after a couple of months. The box has the best before date to let me know if I need to float test then.

  • But it doesn't have an account total karma tracker (it did, but was removed).

    I like it this way, you get approval on your comments/posts, but don't have a public 'worth' value to increase - that can cause problems.

  • That's mostly true I think, but it is a really useful resource for mods and I completely understand why they use min karma limits. ( On Reddit I just have a min 5 karma requirement (posts only) and a larger range that just triggers modmail - filters out 90% of bot posts and I can manually address the false positives. I would hate to have to manage a larger community)

  • I have some alarm tones that are YOU MUST GET UP NOW, and some that are more of a suggestion. Works quite well.
