  Help needed: Joys of running a mail server, right. I have a postfix/dovecot setup and SMTP locked down to require authentication to send emails but I'm getting spoofed sender spam emails. You know the kind: email looks like it's coming from your own mailbox and is sent to your own mailbox, and threatens with reputation damage unless you pay. With SMTP locked down I was surprised I'm still getting them. Lo! Behold! they're using LMTP. Any clues on how to stop these? #infosec...

  I have a non-optional social obligation today which by itself is fine, but I also have been procrastinating dying my hair so now I have to combobulate and dye my hair AND put on my human face AND also face the Outside and People and frankly all I want to do is drink rosé on my balcony in shorts and a tanktop beholden to no one is this so much to ask for really

  I love people on here posting "very obviously good things to do for inclusion" — not just because the posts are good and make me think about how I can be a better person — but also because toots like that are an irresistible honeypot for total wankers and I get to go through the replies and block them en masse 🎉 I'm sorry that the OP takes the first hit, they shouldn't have to go through it. But outing and blocking wankers is for the good of the community and I...

  @diazona@techhub.social @ainmosni@social.ainmosni.eu I would do it with the object "attuning" - let the player know their PC's stats are getting drained, but offer a stronger benefit from the amulet. Eg: drains -1 WIS and -1 INT but its fine, it gives you +3 INT it's an obvious net benefit! Repeat with obvious benefit every time it drains more stats. Then "amulet loses attunement" - you lose all benefits but retain the damage to your stats, but that's ok, keep wea...

  @malcircuit@thingy.social doesn't it just? It personally makes me think of the Supernatural episode "Lily Sunder has some regrets" where a woman learns how to use powerful magic to avenge her daughter, only in return it slowly depletes her soul.

  Ugh so I did this thing when I said I painted and I feel I should put up or shut up. Here's the last two paintings I have finished properly, and it's been aaages ago, be kind. Story time: my mum, Luna, complained All That Summer that she had snails getting into her strawberries despite her best efforts. So I thought I'd paint the entirely plausible ways* in which that would happen. Watercolor, gouache, and coloured pencils on paper. #art #painting #watercolor #wate...

  Today I realised my Very Big Gnarly Difficult Capital P Problem was actually three very simple problems¹ in a trench coat, so I give you this gem. (the blue blob is obviously correct) — ¹ already solved 2 out of 3 #GettingThingsDone

  I saw LLMs compared to a drug in this toot, but in conversation with Himself today we concluded it's like a cursed amulet. You *believe* it gives you +10 INT. Meanwhile it drains INT and WIS over time, and you don't notice. Everyone around you knows it's bad for you and generally for the realm, but you won't stop wearing it, they're just jelous of your newfound powers, and they would know how awesome it is if they only tried! Why won't they try? Just try the amulet!!...
