Find out if your ISP provides an SMTP smarthost.

Worth noting that in Finland they are also by law required to log metadata of delivered mails.

How does it compare to OsmAnd?

[–] ouch 13 points 1 week ago

As a finn, not sure I would call it a lost war to keep independence against an enemy that has superior manpower and resources at their disposal in comparison.

And half is not even close to the truth.

How many years of luck increases do you need in XCOM 2 not to miss a 99 % shot?

Seriously though, do you have any good sources to read about this?

[–] ouch 7 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

I hate the PRNG of XCOMs. For anyone suffering from that I recommend Hard West. It's a buggy game, but the luck mechanism is interesting. Basically when missing, your luck increases, and eventually that helps you hit. So missing a good shot isn't that bad, because you can build a strategy on it regardless.

cause and effect will always be the same

Actually no. Mostly, but some actions affect the PRNG and when loading saves they haven't remembered to reset the effect of those, so the results can change a bit between loads. It has been a while, so I don't remember the specifics. But you can abuse this property to get out of really tough spots by gaming the PRNG across loads.

I have probably save scummed too much.

I hope the ships are going to be towed outside the environment first.

Calibre + DeDRM plugins rock.

Did he get out of France already?

As a finn I'm pretty interested. There's a huge difference between whether ships are intercepted in international or national waters.

Are there any recent Android models that have native call recording enabled in EU?

I will root the phone if necessary, but considering that Google is closing the platform down even more by making custom/rooted ROMs fail security checks, I would prefer to avoid that.

How would you protect files of a VPS (Virtual Private Server) from snooping by the service provider?

 

Many projects ask to share lots of logs when reporting issues. It's difficult to go through all the logs and redact informarion such as usernames, environment variabled etc.

Any ideas on how to anonymize logs before sharing? Change your username to something generic?
