is there a way tominimise risk while using facebook?
I have a feeling I know the answer, but thought it worth an ask, so here goes - I’ve not used FB in years, and generally try to keep fairly private online (Mullvad, librefox, etc) but I’ve found I’m missing out by not being able to use FB marketplace. If I set up a fresh account, and don’t use the social side of it at...

EndeavourOS encrypted partition
I installed endeavourOS 2 days ago and then, the next day, there was a newnrelease of endeavourOS. It’s supposed to have better encryption. Is it possible to upgrade encryption on Linux? An unrelated question: is it possible to change the password of an encrypted partition? I’m a beginner, so please explain your magical...
Blade barrier is fucking amazing!
We just got ambushed in a courtyard by about 15 enemies standing on a walkway above us, with no immediately obvious way for us to get up there. We were sitting ducks. So Shadowheart cast blade barrier across the entire walkway. In addition to doing a lot of damage every turn, it imposes difficult terrain. All of the enemies...
Looking for Guitar Amp Simulators

Another advantage of pirating
Supporting small creators that contribute to the creative commons, or free software developers using the money saved! This is like, protesting proprietary stuff, while using the saved resources to support creators that respect our right to reuse/remix instead. I hope that makes sense lol

Lore-friendly playstyle/itemization for Shadowheart? (Acts 1 & 2)
The Shar-worshipping crazy goth chick is a great character concept. Trouble is, the game seems to throw a lot of great light-related cleric spells and equipment at us, and all the alternatives seem to be bad. From an RP point of view, Shadowheart obviously shouldn’t be wielding a light-emitting mace, wearing radiance armor,...

Would you prefer a hands-off, leave them to their own devices kind of approach, a keep at arms reach gently advise, or something else altogether?

[Question] Are you cooking something other than turkey for Thanksgiving?
My wife and I rarely cook turkey for Thanksgiving. This year we’re coming Cornish hens. In previous years we’ve cooked duck, leg of lamb, and rib roast. It’s not that we don’t like turkey, but there are lots of other things that I think I’d prefer eating....
How to bypass a metered connection?
In North America, using Xfinity for reference. I want to create both a home NAS and offline Wiki/media backup. Problem is to get the amount of data I need would blow through my plan and throttle my speed. I guess I could try and do it over a longer period or download just before the billing cycle renews so even if I go over it...
Kubuntu freezes after putting password in login screen
This morning it was working, and while it was turning off it was taking way too long and I forced-shut it off (hold power button), so afterwards when I would turn it on this would happen, I think that has to do with the problem....
Non-root user that (suddenly) has elevated privileges in a specific command (only). [Have I been hacked?]
Title. Long,short story: creating or editing files with nano as my non-root user gives (the file) elevated privileges, like I have ran it w/ sudo or as root. And the (only) “security hole” that I can think of is a nextdns docker container running as root. That aside, its very “overkill” security-wise (cap_drop=ALL,...

Window snapping
Hey guys, I’ve been running Mint on my home computer for a little while now and I’m having a great time, however there’s one behaviour from Windows I’m missing. When you hit win + arrows to snap the currently focussed window to the left or right half of the screen, windows will present a dialogue to select a companion...
Using email aliases (email alias services) with self-hosted email
Is it possible to do it? Is it less hassle than trying to play nice with Google or Microsoft in order not to have your email sent to spam or not received at all?
How to check a direct downloaded mkv file
Decided to dip my toes in so I followed the guide to a website where I can download some content via google drive. Like an idiot, I didn’t research the risks of direct downloads before and so I’m now a bit paranoid. I understand the chances are low and my media player needs to be exploited but is there a way to be certain? A...
Do hiccups serve any actual useful biological function?
It’s known that sneezing is a reflex to prevent dust or nose hairs or whatever from getting down into the lungs, but why do people and animals sometimes get hiccups? What function does that serve, and what causes them?...
