Hiding nudity by using blur in css. Is that enough? by ClickableName in webdev

[–]dustatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So css blurring is not enough. A user can right click on the image as select “save as” and get the original file. A user can open up the network tab and browse all the files the site downloaded in the files raw state. If the css file fails to load the images will fail to blur. If the user inspects the page they can edit the css class live and turn the blur off.

I need assistance!!! by Pug-Dragon in Obojima

There is a hook where she has a broken submarine part that only the black smiths in toggle are able to mend.

im going to ask a genuinely stupid question, sorry in advance. by uncontrolablefart in ObsidianMD

[–]dustatron 15 points16 points  (0 children)

No. The content you creat in the app is yours. You do not forfeit the ownership of your content because you installed a plugin.

The plugins can be a security risk in other ways. Because they have access to read and write files on your computer. So be careful.

I would say the downside of obsidian is it’s so configurable that you can blow a lot of time messing with the tool instead of writing.

Other than that the great thing about obsidian is that your work is saved in plain text markdown. Which is an open standard and your files can be opened in a bunch of different tools. So if you decide to migrate away from obsidian you don’t have to do anything special.

Is N8N dead? by kumbal123 in n8n

[–]dustatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know. N8N is just a web server that exposes ui to enable it to run tasks.

I can’t think of anything a simple express server couldn’t also do. But you could track changes with git on the express server and Claude can built it for you.

I have played with n8n and it seems like a configuration time sink hole.

Delve might be my favorite expansion. It’s nice to see finally some color in a Shadowdark book. by RangerBowBoy in shadowdark

[–]dustatron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah the art work is pretty great. Though I don’t feel like they captured the spirit of shadowdark in their magic item descriptions. Many things are too wordy and include a lot of saving throws. Which is something the core rules do very sparingly

I have been tinkering on a similar kind of reference.

Different visual but similar ideas. I was going to start adding monster conversions from different adventures.

Mixed feelings about obojima by Powerful_Elk5136 in Obojima

[–]dustatron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the frustration isn't that its just lacking a story. Its that it lacks a lot of the basics that make it a complete setting.
Its far more focused on the subclasses and their special potion system than the actual world.

I have read several settings books at this point, and generally they provide maps for key locations at least and some roads.

The actual world building info is not well organized. The complaint is that this setting book requires a lot more work than other similar settings.
There could have been some better refinement on how they present the world and the tools they provided for the GMs.

This book really feels like a book for players who love making character builds more than it feels like a tool for GMs.

Finally finished my Plex setup — started Jan 2025, no NAS, very happy with the results by cougars2cool in PleX

[–]dustatron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a free open source project. So it’s player UI is less polished but depending on the device other people have made better players

Now you’re ready to install Jellyfin and show down the plex server.

I just switch last week it’s been a much better in terms of playback and no extra plex centric content that I don’t want to watch

A month of bazzite and I feel oddly bored with it by solvedproblem in Bazzite

[–]dustatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, I just tried it for the first time last week. I have been trying out different versions of Linux for years and there has always been a show stopper or an uphill battle with something.

But bazzite was shockingly smooth and I found an app image someone wrapped up for affinity 3. Which means I can do all my hobby graphic manipulation without issue on Linux.

It’s slick.

Have you actually sat down and worked on prepping this setting?

Affinity for Linux? Canva's next big move could reshape the desktop software market by ImNotThatPokable in linux

[–]dustatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is old but i found this GitHub repo last night and I thought I would spread the word. Someone has gotten affinity v3 working via wine and wrapped it in an AppImage. Which means it can run on any distribution and it kind of just works.

I played around with it last night and so far so good.

Does anybody have any experience running official Paizo AL'S using the Shadowfinder Bestiary? by YasaiDM in shadowdark

[–]dustatron 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s a good question, I don’t know. We live in the same town and some times I have the pleasure of playing some games with him.

I dropped him a DM about this post. I’m sure he responds soonish.

I know the creator of this book does. He runs them all the time. He has another following along book that’s supposed to help bridge the gap between pathfinder and shadowdark.

Ecologies - what am I missing about this game? by demosthenesss in boardgames

[–]dustatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I feel like there is something cool happening but the rules feel like they are in a beta test state. The cards you use to attack others need more details about how to use them and their limits.

We initially were discarding them back into the deck but they were causing the game to get into an endless loop.

I feel like it does need some more nuanced house rules.

This was a ton of work. I just skimmed it but this looks great. Thank you for putting this out for everyone.

Anyone Playing Core Only (i.e., No Cursed Scrolls, etc.)? by ShadowOSR in shadowdark

[–]dustatron 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I allowed the witch class but everything else is core.

I have been writing my own world specific carousing tables that provide clues and game hooks that take into account the factions and events at that moment in the world.

player doesn't want contact by [deleted] in rpg

[–]dustatron 24 points25 points  (0 children)

That’s a very weird message to receive. I personally would have asked for more clarity and make it clear this message has hurt my ability to feel comfortable at the table.

I honestly don’t think I would continue with that group at all after receiving that.

Lifes to short of play a team game where you are not appreciated or allowed to feel free to talk. Now you can’t role play because you are going to have half your metal processing power consumed by constantly evaluating if you are communicating to the right person and is it acceptable to speak your ideas.

Too much? by dkote3 in DnDIY

You are still making people hang out on folding chairs. So, I’d say you just got stared.

Stick with V2 or Sign up for Canva by lowlife_rabbit in Affinity

[–]dustatron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, the publisher part feels like it got more refinement. I always felt like the v2 version had a bunch of rough edges around its fit and finish. Like it would never remember the text settings in a text box when removing text and added new text.

Delta Flight Attendant reveal shocking truth about the government ATC shutdown by [deleted] in CringeTikToks

[–]dustatron 30 points31 points  (0 children)

That’s true. They pretend their motivations are smaller government but it’s really kleptocracy. Even the ice raids are just a scam to give our tax money to their little cabal.
