Found her yesterday evening and brought her to the animal rescue/clinic.
Found her mother soon after(dead at the side of the street)
Thinking about adopting her.
I've used Linux lite and Fedora(Gnome edition) so far, and trying to hop Distro(plus, I lost my actual boot drive. Not to worry, I know I've left it in my friend's house, so the data is safe. Plus, no important data were on it in the first place).
Considering the recent incidents with the Red Hat Enterprises, I'm not sure if I should go with any of their distributions. Which would be a great OS for me, you guys think? @thelinuxEXP@linux@Linux@linuxmagazine@linux_gaming
Even though I’m mostly a Python programmer now I don’t do this but i know so many Python programmers who do this; the thing that is even more annoying is when some of them make up shit trying to prove python is better for a usecase they know NOTHING about
If you'e been wondering how to monetize your fediverse posting ... https://sub.club has good news for you!
"If you post quality content and you've developed a loyal audience, you should be able to ask your most passionate followers to support you with a premium subscription.
That's a promise not available on the Fediverse ...until now."
sub.club's a project of The BLVD, Inc, the makers of @mammoth. I know there was a lot of skepticism when Marc Benioff, Mozilla, Long Ventures et al, funded Mammoth ... with so many good apps out there, how are they expecting to get VC-level returns on their investment? But if sub.club can tap into the creator economy, there's clearly money to be made!
You can use both. There is likely to be a lot of overlap, but no matter. You just have to remember when to say magazine and when to say community I guess?
Which one I prefer is a good question. On mbin, I like the smoother UI, and the existing Mastodon integration (but not perfect), it seems that old federation problems from kbin are more or less solved.
Feel like that lemmy is still the default app, has more clients (Alexandrie on Web) and sometimes less delay to federated.
My coworkers say that I’ve got resting murder face. When I’m just zoning out not paying attention to anything, I apparently look like I’m actively searching for something rusty to stab you with.
I've noticed there are some folks writing at length here on their experiences playing games, so this felt like a good place to ask. Do you take notes as you play, and/or after each session, then write out full thoughts upon completing a game?
Or are your reflections compiled only after finishing a game, no notes?
I've dabbled with different approaches, and haven't really settled on a consistent process personally.
I keep a gaming journal, but it’s only for thoughts afterward. I keep it much simpler than I used to, as there’s a point where writing at length becomes work, and gaming shouldn’t be work. That’s the same reason I don’t keep a backlog. In my longer posts here and elsewhere, it tends to just be stream-of-consciousness writing derived from those journals entries, just cleaned up a little bit.
As for note-taking, I will almost never take notes on opinion/criticism during a play. Pretty sure that again, it’d feel like work if I took notes. I also rarely write about games I don’t finish unless I’ve played most of them (I tend to bounce off a lot of games lately). Other than that, my journal has the occasional random thought on larger industry trends, or a quick sort, like a toplist or the latest tier-making meme I saw. It’s interesting to see how my tastes change over the years.
I personally like to write some general things I end up enjoying about a game, while I’m playing (or during pauses), mostly because I plan on making a YT channel, but also because I like to leave useful reviews on GOG and Steam. The thing about making notes during early on is that you can check them later and see if anything overstayed its welcome. It’s also great to remember story details, if they’re relevant
The good thing about simply writing down, even generic notes like “good music” and “controls really well” can help create that memory path to the actual experience. You don’t need to be a “critic” to understand when something is great, good, bad or “just there”, but it can take some skill to write in a way that makes sense to other people, so writing about the games you’ve been playing is a good way to train that!
Spent about 2 hrs so far with AAA and an insurance agency with neither of them giving me quotes.
What a racket. The law requires us to have insurance, I drive well enough that the only payout insurance has ever made in my entire lifetime was when my insurance company actually didn't contest something they should have contested (a driver rear-ended me). It's pretty much free money for them and they still don't want to come through with a quote in a timely manner.
For 2024 our auto insurer added a very detailed clause prohibiting use of the vehicle for Uber, etc. I suspect people who were driving for those services just weren’t notifying their insurers, but that will be a lot harder in future. It probably took a while for the big insurers to hammer out those clauses with state regulators.
For the commercial policy they probably want the applicant to be some form of corporate entity, whether LLC or some form of corp.
@BenjaminFaliere@axnxcamr@actuallyautistic God that's relatable!! We get punished so much for our autistic behaviors, unmasking is scary even when we really trust the person 💜
@dramypsyd to be honest, I think I don’t want to be a problem for her. And unmasking would mean become a problem… From my point of view. Even if she says the opposite.
Domain facing massive e-mail spoofing attacks: Can something be done?
Hello,
I am running my own mailserver using Mailcow and I noticed, since mid-January, a huge rise of e-mail address spoofing attacks, in three ways:
(1) a lot of spam ends up in the inbox despite having rspamd.
(2) a few undelivered e-mail errors
(3) some e-mails with rubbish content sent to public administrations, with my e-mail address mentioned in the "via" field, but different sender address (possibly from a third hacked mailserver), end up in my inbox as well.
My mailserver doesn't seem to have been hacked BTW, as e-mails were sent today and the last connection to the SMTP service was 2 days ago according to Mailcow admin UI.
Here are my questions:
(1) Does the address spoofing make that rubbish mail end up in the recipients' inbox?
(2) Is it shown as being sent by me or by the third hacked mailserver?
(3) Is there a way to block the incoming spam using that technique in rspamd?
(4) Can this spoofing attack impact my domain name's reputation (blacklist, ...?)
(5) Last but not least, do you think I could get in legal trouble given the fact attackers seem to spoof my e-mail to target public administrations of my country (France, in case that matters)? If so, what could prove neither me nor my mailserver are faulty?
I am respecting all the good practices for e-mail security (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and even signing my emails with an S/MIME cert). Oh and my server isn't an open relay ^_^
If you’re small you won’t have a reputation. It’s why they are not targeted. By default they’ll go to junk.
Dkim/spf will help you out. You’ll end up being blacklisted over it. You don’t send enough email to have a true reputation.
Most spam filters for companies like Microsoft/proofpoint/mimecast will just end up adding your IP to the email firewall. That’ll be dropped on delivery.
If SPF, DKIM and DMARC are properly configured, emails sent by any server other than your own will be rejected by the receiving server. Have you had complaints or is this just showing up in DMARC logs?
#RomanceReviews 4: I'm going with a palate cleanser of an actual #romance this time: Act Your Age, Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert. I listened to the previous book in the series and it was sweet, hilarious, and British (they chose the narrator well).
I'm expecting this to be a straight, interracial romance with at least one neurodivergent character.
Re: not going down too fast: "And if you did it too quickly, you wound up with a woman who was more interested in what you could do with your tongue than your sudoku skills."
Alright, here is my #RomanceReviews roundup for Act Your Age, Eve Brown. Loved it.
As expected going in, it was sweet, hilarious, interracial and British. So British. The banter had me cackling repeatedly as I tried to do housekeeping. This was a little bit of an enemies-to-lovers plotline.
Both (straight) neurodivergents were really truly into each other. This was what I think of as a true romance, with deep emotional and sexual attraction.
Him: “Is it terrible that I’m going to fuck you on this desk?”
Also him: “He wanted inside her confetti-strewn head every chance he got. It was the only foreign country he could remember wanting to visit.”
*swoon
I love that Talia Hibbert writes neurodivergent people and fat people as genuinely desirable and competent.
Good consent, 5 stars, would totally fuck this guy.
