  • Couldnt agree more.

    It is a roleplaying game after all. Conflict resolution can even be fun if the players are into it.

    For longer campaings with a set group of friends we dont even start the campaing with “all PCs are friends”. I just make them meet and tie their interests together so they kinda have to work together. Friendships develop over time.

    But I would never, under any circumstance, allow for bullying or teasing even among characters.



  • I don’t really have any issue for what the software is supposed to do. I can access my instance, read and edit, templates and queries work fine.

    But overall the user experience is not so good on mobile. On desktop it is really easy to navigate my notes, specially so because of the great support for keyboard shortcuts. Now for mobile it doesnt feel too good. Navigation works but the interface is too small - making tapping a bit clunky. I also find it uncomfortable to use for to do lists - things like groceries lists that I need on the go. Sometimes toggling works fine if touch but sometimes it switches to view mode.

    I really dont think any of that is an issue with the software itself. Its just the format I guess? I still use silverbullet and Ive never tried anything as good for organizing work stuff. But I still wish something more “native” for android.










  • From what I can tell, not much. They use dashes “-” instead of pluses “+”.

    But neither of these two options provide you with much privacy. Plus addresses, as others have pointed out, can be automatically stripped (just delete everything after the plus sign) and you get the real email behind it.

    This service specifically I dont know the details, but it seems there is a unique prefix per user, but no “real email”. So for instance if you use gmail you can have “[email protected]” as your real email. You then use “[email protected]” for your lemmy account. If that email gets leaked out somehow, people can easily tell your real email address is “[email protected]

    This service seems to do something very similar with the difference there is no base email, so there isnt a “[email protected]”, there will only be “[email protected]”. It is worth pointing out you might still be tracked because all your emails will be prefixed with “sunny”. So although spammers wont be able to figure out your real email address they can just try something like “[email protected]”, and if multiple of your addresses leak it will be easy to link them all up to the same person.

    This also creates A LOT of lock in. Because if the service shuts down you now have dozens of services for which you don’t have means to access the emails anymore.






  • Thank you for your reply!

    Personally I am fine with nginx configuration, at least when using containers. The syntax is fine and all I need to do is map one file into the container

    But I took a look at the automatic cert feature and wow, that is very, very nice. I may give caddy a try for this feature only - it would simplify my current setup.

    I am also surprised it allows using HTTPS over port 443 for cert renewal. I didnt even know this was possible, so I was always stuck with DNS challanges.

    So again, thanks for your reply!



  • Honest question: why not use nginx?

    I have run it in so many different scenarios, both professionally and personally, its crazy. Nginx has never failed me, literally. My homeserver is quite limited but nginx has a very small footprint, it performs beautifully well and it satisfies all my hosting, proxying, redirecting and streaming needs.

    It works for modern and legacy applications, custom code, webhosting, supports all the modern features and its configuration is very easy with literal thousandsof examples available online.

    Apache probably can do all that but I hate how unintuitive its configuration is to me personally. HAproxy cant do half the stuff nginx does.

    As for caddy Ive heard of it but never really used it. What does it offer that nginx doesnt?


  • I am with you on that one. I was speaking from the point of view of someone who didnt buy ow1 because I only got into the game after ow2 so I completely forgot it wasnt free before. Its sad how nowadays you cannot ever have “complete” games. Most games just few unpolished and unfinished and they just throw things at it trying to make money. Which for me is so ironic because I think ow has a solid gameplay mechanic - it just gets completely shadowed by all the financial decisions.
