I played through all of Thimbleweed Park yesterday, fantastic time. Point and click adventure game with no real moon logic. Also, the art is fucking gorgeous

Really nice for just seeing stuff. Not the highs or lows of life, just the pleasantly mundane.

Look, I'll respect drag's pronouns, but I definitely don't respect drag. 5 minutes looking through drag's modlog was more than enough. Here are some highlights:

  • Banned from the Trans community on Blahaj for misgendering and another thing we'll get to shortly (You might notice a recent unban, that's for Transgender, the OTHER trans sub drag was banned from)
  • Banned from this sub and others for trolling
  • Banned from a concerning number of subs for encouraging suicide.
  • I really want to emphasize that one. Drag has been banned from many communities for ENCOURAGING SUICIDE
  • Banned from a number of subs for harassing mods and not being civil

And thats all before we get to the bottom of the first page, which only goes two months back. Once again, drag deserves to have their pronouns respected, but that doesnt mean they deserve any other kind.

This presents one of two possibilities:

A) The anonymous mode is still tied to an account, and so instances could choose to just not show accounts as anonymous, or users could just dig through modlog.

B) The anonymous mode isn't tied to an account, making effective moderation nigh impossible, and spam very easy.

Neither of these are good.

The Trigger by Arthur C Clarke was my inyroduction to sci fi, and I picked it up in Augustish. Now I'm on an Asimov binge.

That is one hell of a garden path sentence

You can, just not accurately

Acting like the director is the one guy who makes the movie what it is will never make sense to me.

Heyo, mod here! If you could, please change the name of this post to "[Satire] Smoots" or something along those lines to fit the format dictated by rule 6. Thanks!

Mod nitpick- the unit is small boulder, not large boulder.

Here's the example post for the community. Pretty simple format, no frills needed.

 

I'm newish to the privacy world, and thus have been... lax in prior years. So my ads are still very targeted. I've seen stuff about Incogni, and their whole deal, and wanted to ask y'all if it's legit/worth it?

The update video is 25 minutes long, and with good reason. They:

  • Added new location
  • Added new cargos and industries
  • Added new rail lines
  • Added a remote track switching system
  • Added gadgets to mount in your train
  • Added trains to find and restore in the new train museum
  • Reworked the steam engine and braking simulations
  • Improved steam deck support
  • Improved performance
  • did a bunch of other stuff

I know Early Access can be a blight upon man sometimes, but this game is really making the best of it, and I wholeheartedly recommend it if you don't have it already.

Bonus: it also seems that the episodes have been rolled into the base game. Full details of the anniversary update.

 

Why do Brits and Americans have a special term instead of just using Immigrant?

I'm getting ready to run Icewind Dale, and noticed some of the maps have this marking in them, but none of them call attention to it or explain it. Does it indicate height, or something weird like "this ramp is a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 30 feet" or "30 feet extra ramp here we didn't have space for, stretch it out when you run it"?

Is my proxy setup safe? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I'm currently working on setting up a proxy on my home computer to bypass my school's blockers, and want to see if I can make any improvements to security. To be clear, I haven't opened this to the internet yet, I'm asking BEFORE doing that.

The setup is thus: I have a squid server running on my linux laptop, which will only allow authenticated users through. It's no longer listening to the default port (3128) and is instead listening to a port in the 10000-20000 range. I would have both my router and modem set to forward that same port, and my laptop's local IP address is static.

This is a consumer internet connection, so Dynamic DNS, but I have a NOIP address ready to connect once I open the ports (already have the client installed and running, just throws an error on the website because it can't get through the port.)

I'll be connecting to my proxy server through the FoxyProxy extension, rather than through the Windows 11 control panel on my school laptop, because I dont have access to that specific part of the control panel.

That's the sum total of the setup I've got thus far. It only needs to be able to support my lone connection, I'm not sharing this around. Any improvements to be made?
