That might have been me asking for it, but if you find a mod to that, please let me know! https://lemm.ee/comment/2161312

SFP is pretty straightforward. Most of the SFP modules you can buy you just connect and they work. For something like that, you would be doing fiber to ethernet hand off at a switch. Then you have pretty much everything run to the switch including router and just VLAN isolate. It’s not super complicated, but if you never messed with VLANs it might be better to go with something pre-packaged unless you’re up for learning.

You could also do a DIY router and run a multi-gig SFP+ network card over PCIe. You still have to purchase a separate SFP module for that, but that is another option.

There are some people who actually study probability patterns in randomness. That subjects beyond me, but a quick summary of what they usually say is that something like what you’re describing or triplets or various other things are actually quite common and don’t disprove randomness.

Just one example of a conversation like that: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1132058/why-does-randomness-exhibit-a-pattern-in-the-long-run

Because you’ve already expended your spell slots for that level.

I set up a backup cell connection to my cable internet connection. Sketchy Chinese 4G LTE modem. My router was a DIY job I set up off of Ubuntu Server. Everything ran to a Cisco switch and then was VLAN isolated. For the two WAN connections, I ran scripts from the router that periodically tried to reach out to several DNS providers and then average response rates to determine if the main connection was up. If not then it would modify default routes and push everything to the cell.

The cell connection had pretty low data cap, so it was just for backup and wasn’t a home style plan. I used the old TTL modification trick to get it to pass data like a phone. When I moved the backup to 5G, TTL modification stopped working and I had to resort to creating tunnel interfaces to an actual phone. Since that tunnel is limited in bandwidth to the lowest value, my speeds were really cut in half.

I disagree with some of their assessment. Specifically the point that you really aren’t given enough information to weigh out which decisions you go with and that is something problematic. Unknowns are pretty inherent with Dungeons and Dragons. In tabletop, you typically don’t know what the outcome is going to be. You can only veer towards decisions you think will be a net positive and then hope you make your rolls.

With a couple of exceptions, no decision you make is really game over for you. It just changes how the story unfolds.

Before Baldur’s Gate was a thing, I remember reading Homeland by RA Salvatore. It was 1994 and my sister gave it to be as a bday present. I couldn’t put it down and it firmly cemented me into Dungeons & Dragons. I already had been playing some gold box games like Hillsfar, but that book got me seriously addicted.

I just read that in my mind in the narrator’s voice.

My take on this is that Shar knew about the prism, but simply just did not care. Sharran documents like to refer to the Dead Three as “godlings” which makes a lot of sense from the perspective of Shar. She’s old. Like really old. To her the Dead Three are not much more than mortals who tricked their way into a fractional amount of power, so their machinations are childlike at best and nowhere near on the scope of what Shar is capable of.

I agree though that Shar wouldn’t thematically ever make any personal appearance or have any direct involvement with any of her plots. That isn’t her style. She would whisper commands to super high level followers, but even then never divulge the why of it. You would just get orders not explanations.

A VPN would give you access to a network, but not necessarily the devices on that network. It adds another layer of security as the user not only has to have SSH credentials/keys, but they also have to have the same for the VPN. SSH and VPNs would really be used in conjunction with each other.

It’s onion security.

Probably not relevant to the console players, but mods and patches always interest me.

That sounds like a mod request haha

My understanding was it’s bad practice to host images on Lemmy instances anyway as it contributes to storage bloat. Instead of coming up with a one-off script solution (albeit a good effort), wouldn’t it make sense to offload the scanning to a third party like imgur or catbox who would already be doing that and just link images into Lemmy? If nothing else wouldn’t that limit liability on the instance admins?

I use Lae’zel for my evil run, but she does have kind of that evil cat vibe. Like how every cat not only acknowledges it is a cat, but somehow feels that it is the epitome of what it means to be a cat.

Also, as I think it’s pointed out, githyanki are canonically space Nazis. Early in her character arc there is definitely the notion that she is only helping you to help herself and that she has no problem with “final solutioning” you.

Typically schools and universities have acceptable use policies for student VPNs. It is not very difficult to detect VPN setup on a network and universities almost always have at least some form of network monitoring happening.

That said, VPNs are often times blocked and so is SFTP. Most universities I’ve done work with have a requirement that the traffic will be blocked unless you can make a case to IT as to why you need that access.

There are few legitimate use cases for student VPNs and IT staff are usually not idiots and understand what you are up to.

This encounter was contrasted with the player’s first encounter with Morrigan, the much-loved Dragon Age character. “It does everything right to make you like the character, before showing you her darker side,” Clark said of Morrigan’s introduction in Dragon Age: Origins. “I don’t think they did this with Lae’zel.” Gaider dismissed this suggestion, saying “it truly does not matter”.

That’s the best part. Why would you like a character male or female that is openly hostile to you? You wouldn’t. That’s the point. She isn’t your friend (at least towards the beginning), you simply share a common goal with this githyanki. I wouldn’t be more forgiving if she was a guy. She’s still being an asshole to me. But it works especially for evil playthroughs as the relationship works totally fine as something that’s just transactional in nature.

You know who I couldn’t forgive? Alistair. All he needed to do was shut his damn jackass mouth for 10min. Really hard for me not to see him in Gale everytime I talk to him.

Yep, that’s the one. You just set your upstream default to something like tcp-tls:1.1.1.1:853 for DoT (which is what I use anyway).

Good documentation on other features like adblocking,caching,etc: https://0xerr0r.github.io/blocky/v0.21/configuration/

Just throwing out a couple of other solutions I didn’t see mentioned for DoH/DoT:

1. CoreDNS
2. Blocky

Both of those support encryption and allow for DNSBL. If you are wanting to hand out DNS entries over DHCP it may a problem with your ISPs router there. Either replace it, sit one you do control between it and your network, or run DHCP snooping from a switch to restrict it’s DHCP.
