  • Sorry, I think there’s a bit of miscommunication here. I’m one of the people who made that comment and I meant community in the people sense, and not in the subreddit sense. They can take their subreddit and move it, shred it, burn it, paint it blue, whatever. The point is, they seem to think of the people using the space as something that belongs to them, and that they can just take those people wherever they please. In reality, they have to rely on people following them, they can’t just pack them up and move them, and it’s very apparent that it’s a very unpopular decision and clear that no one is going to follow them to world.

    I’m just upset at the arrogance of them pretending they’re doing this for the good of the users when they asked no one. What makes a community great is the people in it, not the people “running” it (using the term loosely, as them actually having to do things is the reason they wanted to move). If they didn’t like it, they could’ve just passed it off to other people, but instead decided to try to pack us into a suitcase and leave.





  • If someone can execute arbitrary code on my computer, it doesn’t matter that the disk is encrypted, because I’ve already booted the machine up and entered the key. I’m certainly not the most cryptographically knowledge but using LUKS on Oracle Linux, I’d enter the key once while starting up, past that point there was no difference between an encrypted and unencrypted system. It seems logical to me, then, that if something can execute arbitrary code, it’s after that point, so encryption won’t matter to it. Encryption is more of a solution to someone physically obtaining your hard drive and preventing them from having access to the contents simply by plugging it into their system.

    Or at least that’s my understanding, please correct me if I’m mistaken.


  • Honestly… Why bother? If someone gains remote access to my system, an encrypted disk won’t help. It’s just a physical access preventer afaik, and I think the risk of that being necessary is very low. Encrypted my work computer because we had to and that environment also made it make more sense, I technically had sensitive customer info on it, though I worked at Oracle so of course they had to make it as convoluted and shitty as possible.



  • Can make for some epic moments depending on the party and setting and fight etc. My character in the first stage of the final fight of the campaign got power word killed after getting the BBEGs lair action enabling staff away from him, because taking the staff hurt him enough to put him under 100. Incredible narrative moment, didn’t expect the disarm to work and he passed it off with his dying breath. Got revived in a later stage once reinforcements started showing up

    I went to a board game convention a month ago, it was the first time I’ve girlmoded for something major. They put their own signs over the bathroom signs explaining that both were gender neutral and the only difference was urinals vs stalls. That made it soooo much easier on me and I was very glad
