How I got everyone to use Signal:

“The only messaging app I use is Signal, or you can send me an SMS”

Even my Steam friends message me on Signal.

Otherwise I just refer to alternatives as if it’s obvious.

“Yeah I saw this meme on Lemmy which reminded me of you”

“What’s Lemmy?”

“It’s like Reddit but less corpo”

“Cool”

Sometimes when I’m drunk I’ll just install Tubular on peoples phones and tell them its YouTube but less shit.

As for my Window-cucks, I’ll just send them Linux memes about how shit Windows is.

BARGAIN!

Wow, so blessed to be the be the ‘board game guy’. I sure do love being dependable and perceived as not valuing my time.

This general attitude towards giving up when something becomes unfamiliar is wild to me, because in any discipline they’re even slightly good at, they’d take a minor hurdle as a learning experience, plus they have you to walk them through it, so it really isn’t a big deal.

This was made abundantly clear when I installed the Jellyseerr app (basically just a webapp) on my Dad’s phone, logged in for him and walked him through this process:

• Use the search bar
• Select the show
• Select the season you want
• Click request

“That’s too complicated I’ll just ask you when I want to watch something”

I sent him a Signal message in a new group called “Jellyfin guide”. It should be easy to find since I’m his only Signal contact.

Just follow the guide.

A week later, “hey can you download this for me?”

It barely qualifies as a game, it’s like a recipe for a game, which only includes ingredients, but not how to bake it.

Also, if you do manage to play, it’s basically a rape simulator lol.

Also only white people exist because… “Historical accuracy”, while also giving all the fictional races accents based on human dialects.

I made this exact post on Github lol.

The takeaway is this: Sonarr/Radarr v5 will solve this by setting the airtime, and restricting torrent grabs before that. There may also be a manual offset override (hours).

I still think the easier solution is to set the indexer to manually choose what qualifies as a dangerous file type.

I’m not even sharing files, I’m sharing mp3’s and some zips. Duh.

Where’s the option for “what’s a database?”

Sometimes mommy drops on her knees and let’s the denial of service attack happen, as dozens of clients simultaneously POST small binary blobs all over her modest server rack.

Settings > apps > [your app] > permissions > network > off

Oh boy, I sure do love the colloquialization of language and how those who were raised on a monostatic definition get upset about their favourite words becoming dynamic.

“Yeah, sure, I see no problems with that. Alternatively, I could just boost your characters to max level if you would like?”

IMO, look into the linuxserver.io fork of NGINX, called SWAG.

It comes preloaded with a bunch of fantastic addons for security.

Quite easy to get set up, if you’ve got an idea about how it works.

“Oh fuck, that must mean something was there before, keep rolling perception checks, whatever it is must be around here somewhere”

It’s all about what sort of group you’re playing with. I run a group for some kids at my school and I know they would be heartbroken if I just straight up killed them.

I’ve only had to do this once though. I made it a lesson about caution. The player was being reckless, and they ‘died’. Seeing how distraught he was, I decided after the encounter, that the other players should roll for a perception check, and noticed the character still breathing slightly. It was nice to see the kid perk up immediately afterwards.

Bro paragraphs are your friends.

As long as you’re not going super hardcore, I don’t see the problem with just letting the truth of the dice decide whether a character receives a ‘fatal’ blow, only to find after the combat encounter that the character is barely alive, and the rest of the group needs to focus all their resources on triage and emergency evac.

Getting out of a dangerous place with a barely conscious character can make for a pretty tense situation.

Look at these perverts using acronyms! Fucking nerdverts!

I can arrive at the same amazement with a random selection on PornHub
