I’m done with these morons and I don’t have time to deal with any stupid asshole who just takes the compiled blocklists from these cretins who definitely have to compensate their shitty life by puffing themselves up on the Internet. I have neither the time nor the nerves to take care that this stupidity doesn’t spread to my instances. For me, Mastodon is the new Twitter. The same hateful energy with the same hateful fucking witch hunts because some morons fucked up their life.

I haven’t taken a closer look yet: https://www.opendnd.games/

My DM said, that we will stay on 5 as long as we can, but he’s also taking a look into OpenDND.

Clever Code? Sounds like a company 🫣

Never heard of them. What do they do?

Unfortunately, it’s not only WotC who have increased the prices. When I think about RaspberryPI and that a 4B+ costs around 250 USD and more.
It seems that during this pandemic, in the last few years, a few brains have melted.

My DM will, as far as I know him, ignore anything, even if it’s official, which may break our game or when it needs a lot of rework. Maybe the community just ignores it? 😆 I know some groups, which are still on 3.5, so it could work.

I’ve been with D&D for over 25 years and still have a lot of fun. There were so many changes over time, but they all turned out to be fun in the end. With major revisions, it always took time, but the community shaped up and made changes to the changes, which became lore.

I expected a whole gtk/qt theme, but it looks like it’s just a wallpaper?

I ordered several times from https://stickerapp.com/ and was always very happy with the result.

I would say so too, if it was more than just a hobby. Nevertheless, anybody can add the Creative Commons license to their work as long as it is their own work.
Hobby bloggers like to make this their own. But I understand the point you’re making.

And I’m running several lawsuits against individuals because of copyright infringements. So it definitely matters enough.

Unfortunately, I have to disappoint you. Copyright infringement also matters when private individuals are affected. E.g. when a private person uses CreativeCommons, MIT, or GPL license. CreativeCommons is mostly used for text.
In addition, you need to read the TOS of the platform to see if they do not take the rights, as Facebook does, for example.

There is a privacy community on on lemmy.ca: !privacy@lemmy.ca

yeah. A better overview would be really lovely 😄
Especially, that dndlanguages.com seem to miss some, like Drowish.

Simply ban the IPs & the accounts of the abusers while enforcing the rules, and it shall be clean after a while.

That would work. But banning the IP would mean banning whole instances, because spam does not only come from the local instance. Banning the user by username does work for 5 minutes, before they register a new account.
Since nobody who’s hosting a Lemmy instance is paying a professional moderation team, which is 24/7 available to ban spam, it’s almost impossible to react in time.

I don’t know how it works in lemmy, but each instance could go and have a word filter (if the post contains a blacklisted word, it would be held for review).

This word filter is called slur-Filter and is available. Nevertheless, this has been criticized by outsiders very often and Lemmy as a whole was made bad.

I am Not Talking about the software feature, I am talking about why the 5,000 or so users who have an account at lemmy are unable to speak & interact with each other.

I don’t think it’s particularly beneficial to criticize Lemmy because some instance blocks others, but applaud Mastodon for “moderation”, on which a hashtag is highly valued that “recommends” blocking entire instances because one person has a problem with another on another instance.

As for moderation, mastodon is going to pass 8,000,000 users soon, and they have gab and truth social there, yet they are still able to moderate it.

With what I’ve experienced on Mastodon so far, the “moderation” consists almost entirely of overblocking by distributing blacklists, which are primarily controlled by bigger instances.

Do you mean that you do this to have a static IP pointing to an admin page? Why does that increase security?

Exactly this. You can configure nginx/apache this way, that specific pages, like an admin interface, are only reachable from a specific IP range. If it comes from another one, you can return whatever you want.
It increases security in this way, that crawler don’t even get known about such administrative pages and there’s no way to brute-force the login.

Edit: Thanks for the tip with Nyr OpenVPN.

I’m running 2 OpenVPN server. One on a VPS in Canada and one in Germany. The main purpose is to lock admin pages to a fix IP to increase security.
I always avoid the supposedly secure, paid VPN services, because you never know what is really recorded there. At least, you run your entire Internet traffic over it. And with these prices, you can almost lease a small VPS, install OpenVPN and browse through it.
