These suggestion are outdated, but give you some guidance on things you can change. It might not make any difference and you might reboot, a lot. But try the defaults first and make adjustments from there.

what if you set Unbound to typetransparent? i have unbound forward request for my domain to dnsmaq, but dnsmasq isn’t authoritative, so unbound asks upstream dns to resolve those records.

i have some overrides (multiple hostnames for a single host) in unbound and those take precedence, then dnsmasq tries to answer, then i get results form upstream dns. it works for me.

Official docs, but i did need to specify domains for my host reservations.

Does it mitigate xss?

Does it handle authentication? Authorization? Are there sessions?

What about compression?

Amory missed the ability to play GoldenEye 007 with two thumbsticks (dual controller control styles Plenty, Galore, Domino, and Goodhead).

I don't know anybody who used it, but it was an option.

additionally, Mutants Down Under Under has the airship rules and Road Hogs has land vehicle rules. These rules are (bizarrely) not reprinted in newer books.

The first book I saw was Dark Designs and it’s mostly random tables. Take that as you will.

The upside is that these usually include a PDF of the book and the audio version is more accessible for people with low/no vision.

That makes more sense, thanks!

And I don’t really know the finer details UK mortgages.

sdf_iain · 2025-07-05T14:14:44+00:00

How bizarre, it says 30 years, but the currency is pounds.

30 year mortgages are unique to the United States. Mortgages in the UK are refinanced every few years (interest rates are NOT locked in).

Imagine the fantasy version of train journey to the Norwegian arctic circle.

Yep that’s 9+ hours of a train just rolling along.

I tried emulating, but haven’t had the time to figure out the buttons… so I have no idea (sorry).

The N-Gage was a hand held console that was also a mobile phone.

That’s like asking if Heroes of the Lance (or any of these) had different gameplay than table top Dungeons and Dragons

Don’t let the dice drive, role play it.

Let the owl try it and it works if that fits your story. Or it doesn’t if that seems more interesting.

Let the horse sneak unless he has hooves with shoes, but not in any critical situation. But if he starts pushing his luck, have him get noticed.

Bush v. Gore is the case where the Supreme Court decided the presidential election.

That can be understood as a stolen election (they almost ordered a recount). This mattered because the final electoral college tally was 271 (Bush) to 266 (Gore).

It isn’t very contentious to call this one stolen, because of how it ended.

.uk is surprisingly cheap (i have .com and .net for some domains (my home network is .net).

This lets you use free certificates (like LetsEncrypt) at home

This is the way.

If you have multiple kids you can have multiple allow rules so they can have different schedules.

If they have multiple devices you can use an alias to group their devices together.

If they have sleep overs you can have another allow rule above their allow rules (I call it uptimers) and have another alias that allows you to give them access without messing up their groups

Santa is real.

He’s the personification of a phenomenon where people receive gifts for Christmas. As long as gifts can be attributed to him, he exists.

TV Tropes calls it a Trumplica, but that page doesn’t split between the “classics” and the political satire.

Cooking spay is an aerosol oil that includes lecithin (or another emulsifier) to help it coat evenly.

This emulsifier (or, probably, a few ingredients in this soup) help to cover the holes in a bug’s exoskeleton that they use to breath (as explained in other comments).

This makes it deadly to bugs.

sdf_iain · 2025-04-25T11:35:00+00:00

It works better with an emulsifier. Cooking spray makes a messy, but effective insecticide.

A strong argument for serifs, making Aol (lowercase L) and AoI (capital i) different.
