What online multiplayer games play well over wifi/higher latency?

I'm thinking turn-based games may work okay in this respect, but which of those might you recommend besides Civ? Also what other types of games work better over wifi/higher latency than you might expect?

I know ideally you'd simply wire up your system to not have to fuss with either, but it's not always an option in some circumstances.

herrcaptain ,

Ah, yeah, playing on official or public servers is definitely gonna be a mixed bag in terms of location. I’ll admit I didn’t really consider that as I’m lucky enough to have a good group of friends with similar gaming interests, and we’re all within about 100 KM of each other. I just ended up building a server and self-hosting out of my home.

You can play a ton of turn based board games on boardgamearena.com

You can play real time or turn based. It works on any browser, even mobile.

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 ^_^

Thank you!

@email @techsupport

wintermute_oregon ,

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.

intelisense ,

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?

@estelle As you point out, we are so used to subject-verb-object word order that passive voice can insinuate the object is the actor. As in, "mistakes were made" = the mistakes made themselves!

estelle OP ,

"Rewriting a passive construction to be active almost always makes what you’re saying clearer."

Example: Millions of dollars were embezzled from the company.
Revision: Two executives embezzled millions of dollars from the company.

@blackmastodon Thanks for all your responses to the question about fascism. As I expected most people could not give concrete examples of what fascism would look like for them. I prompted over 20 times to push people to focus on their own community. Few could. A handful of people finally stated what would happen to others in their community but because of their white privilege that would not bear the brunt of of it . 1/6

fulanigirl OP ,
@fulanigirl@blacktwitter.io avatar

@blackmastodon
Why does it matter that you couldn’t make it concrete? Because with the elections just around the corner, if you are running around 24/7 talking about fascism is coming, it won’t mean anything to most Americans who are like you. Listen to the people in your towns. What is worrying them? Talk about that...at the end you can give them the definition of fascism if you have to...but don’t start there. 5/6

fulanigirl OP ,
@fulanigirl@blacktwitter.io avatar

@blackmastodon You aren't wrong to talk about the dangers of fascism. You aren't wrong to be worried. Vent here and talk among yourselves, but just remember, most people from marginalized communities when listening to you are thinking....you're late and have already missed the boat...plane...bus...uber.... whatever it is you use to get around. 6/6

Part 2 tomorrow.

“In discussing the questions summed up in the phrase academic freedom, it is necessary to make a distinction between the university proper and those teaching bodies, called by whatever name, whose primary business to inculcate a fixed set of ideas and facts. The former aims to discover and communicate truth and to make its recipients better judges of truth and more effective in applying it to the affairs of life. The latter have as their aim the perpetuation of a certain way of looking at things current among a given body of persons.” — John Dewey, “Academic Freedom” (1902, MW, 2: 54)

You should be concerned about the Center for Open Science partnering with Meta

https://www.cos.io/about/news/meta-partners-with-cos-to-share-data-to-study-well-being-topics

Meta doesn't care for , research integrity, user safety or human rights even. It is naïve to think that the COS is going to do anything other than PR laundering for Meta.

With the news that has subsequently broken, I fear this item that I submitted to Mike Glyer at File 770 will get overlooked.

Please remember that there are many, many more victims of this mess, and who don't have large followings on English-language social media to hear their anguish.

EDIT: Any chance of some boosts on this plz? It bothers me my posts about censored posts & big biz dodginess get lots of engagement, but not the human side
