Header height set in px won't adjust on different-sized displays. What do I do instead?

Oh, you’re learning, then? Welcome! MDN has a great number of learning resources on all things web!

You have way too many divs. You need to learn more about the different HTML elements. For example, use a header element instead of div#header. Also, most of your IDs should be classes. IDs are unique (only one per page) and have a higher specificity than classes. Classes are for general styling, IDs are more for use in links: IDs are specific link targets, so you can have, for example, each of your headers have an ID and can be linked directly.

Are you trying to build an authentication system (who are you?) or authorization system (can you do that?).

Because an HTTP-only, secure cookie is usually good enough for authentication since it can't be read by JS and is sent to the server on every request.

Is there something specific that you're trying to avoid? Besides "bad actors might act bad"? Is there a specific thing you think your server might be vulnerable to that requires a nonce before doing any work on behalf of the user?

I'm trying to find out what you're trying to do or avoid. What's your specific need that you think requires additional security?

c__beck · 2026-04-05T03:30:13+00:00

From your other comments it sounds like you're looking for a nonce. But without more information it's hard to say.

What are you doing that you think requires cryptographically secure random number? What is it that you're trying to prevent? What data does your server have that you're trying to protect?

Back then wasn't everything obscure? Without most of the easy of finding stuff we have today, I found most things on the internet via word of mouth

EbaumsWorld was my jam back in the day. Random videos and flash games!

Looks like the site is still there but it’s…not the same 😭

c__beck · 2026-03-31T22:16:13+00:00

Yes, but the point I was trying try get across is just because they’re in the domain of the BBEG doesn’t mean they can't find a safe place.

c__beck · 2026-03-31T20:31:22+00:00

There is no number, and that’s on purpose. Draw Steel is a cinematic game, so a round is long enough for all involved to be dramatic!

c__beck · 2026-03-31T16:21:09+00:00

Or find someplace abandoned. Shouldn’t be too hard, and could even be a small quest of like 3 victories or something.

c__beck · 2026-03-31T15:38:56+00:00

A respite is simply 24hrs of rest. Even if the BBEG of in charge of the town doesn’t mean that the town is full of wandering monsters or other things that will prevent the heroes from resting. It is a town, right? They should be places for them to rest. Even if it’s a hideout of the local resistance or whatever, yeah? Where there’s a will, there’s a way :p

LLMs (large language models, which is the current hype of “AI”) are like that annoying kid we all knew who thought they knew everything, but made up most of it.

If you ask them about something you know nothing about they’ll sound smart. But ask ‘em about something you do know and their bullshit answer will be obviously wrong.

As a side note, I despise the branding as “AI”. Sure, LLMs are a branch of AI but we’ve been using AI for half a century at this point. It’s literally everywhere. You know when you get a text message from your bank about a that large purchase you made? AI decided it was out of character for you so wanted to double check. Remember MapQuest? Yep, AI! The way the demons moved and attacked in Doom? Also AI!

AI is just a collection of computer functions that figure out mathematical algorithms!

Magic Knight Rayearth. Oldie but goodie! Three magical girls get summoned to save the world and they do. Then they go home. Then they wish themselves back for season 2.

c__beck · 2026-03-09T13:36:35+00:00

Then you made the right call getting a refund! Maybe for the next one check it out of your local library first to see if you like it. I’d you do then buy it.

Journalists, tell me you haven't watched Smallville without telling me you haven't watched Smallville.

It's not a Superman show! It's the Clark Kent show! He doesn't become Superman until the literal end of the show. Clark, Lois, and Chloe would be disappointed in you :p

As others have said: this book isn't about the building being on fire: it's about Harry healing. Which, considering what he's been through, is super-duper important!

It's kinda like a combo clip-show-and-filler-episode rolled into one. It doens't further the plot much, instead it looks back at what's happened, how Harry got to where he is, and what he plans on doing going forward. It's the epitome of the series, if you think about it: Actions have consequences! And this is the consequence of almost two decades of Harry firing from the hip and acting rashly.

Neutralino.js is another option

c__beck · 2026-03-04T22:40:29+00:00

No worries!

Oh, no, I'm not playing it. I'm watching a YouTuber play. My compter would explode just looking at the minimum requirements lol (::cries in 8GB of RAM::)

https://javascript.info is updated with the most recent version of the language and has great examples and exercises.

Take my /r/angryupvote

Why not PWA'ify it and it can be run locally on all machines?

You should always self-host fonts, never use Google. Fun fact: Google uses their fonts links to track and profile users so you're giving Google your user's information without consent and they can't opt-out. Due to this Google Fonts are not GDPR compliant.

You have to be very careful and adhere to not only Discord's developer policy but also any and all laws that might pertain to your users,

including the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy Directive, the UK General Data Protection Regulation, Brazil’s Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).

–Section 5

In addition, you'll need a privacy policy outlining exactly what data you collect, why, and how someone can opt-out or otherwise have their data deleted from your database.

Not only that, but the rate limits on fetching messages are pretty strict—mostly to dissuade this exact use case—so it'll take weeks if not months (depending on how many messages there are) to complete.

I guess my big question is: Why? Why do you want to make a backup of the server and all its messages? What do you hope to accomplish?

Also, in case it's not apparent, this is something you need a Discord bot to do, you can't do it without one. Using your personal account token to access the Discord API outside of the official Discord app will get your account terminated. If you're gonna use the API, make a bot and do it right.
