[00:39:24] [1/4] Hey, just as a second reminder since I believe raidarr gave one earlier today as well: [00:39:25] [2/4] Discord moderators and admins are tasked with setting the guidelines of on-server conversation. [00:39:25] [3/4] If someone with this role asks you to stop doing something, that's something you need to do. [00:39:25] [4/4] Otherwise continued access to the server isn't guaranteed. [00:39:40] Literally the Boston massacre [00:39:51] Pink Floyd did not die for this [00:40:06] And that’s enough of that [00:48:03] lol what [00:49:08] banned [00:49:11] literally me [00:49:52] certainly an intriguing individual [02:15:28] Should’ve known considering the soyjak images [02:16:42] No socially well-functioning person has THAT many haha [03:49:18] I never liked feels guy in golden rage comics days, soyjaks are straight up repulsive lol [04:49:07] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1277489985486065704/go-home-firefox-youre-drunk-v0-ejwr8r6xswjd1.webp?ex=66cd5ac3&is=66cc0943&hm=1bff9d65f6f0fd26ee0f8187de06c19248fbca335a8befc6bd1a2d98c4778d10& [05:01:35] is this fandom [05:12:22] Must’ve accidentally clicked one of the sidebar buttons [05:43:00] <.labster, replying to tali64> you may have more tabs open than me [12:05:49] Is AI CPUs an actual new thing or is it just a smart algorithm that's been around for a long time but bring pushed as AI because companies are addicted to that buzzword? [12:06:12] what the hell are AI CPUs [12:06:51] is this the next step to smart fridges and smart microwaves [12:08:12] [1/2] Idk [12:08:12] [2/2] My dad is looking for laptops for me and is insisted that this laptop that has an AI powered processor is better than the other ones he found [12:08:34] [1/2] Product description [12:08:35] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1277600577257341020/Screenshot_20240826_130817_Chrome.png?ex=66cdc1c2&is=66cc7042&hm=dc88d03db18800979becf771dba3f07576d783e517f20031eb5a6b4ad63d7fed& [12:09:24] wow this truly says nothing [12:11:15] Got the actual link? [12:11:58] https://www.argos.co.uk/product/7121470 [12:13:14] [1/2] Also here's the specification that my uni gave me for what the pc/laptops should have at minimum [12:13:15] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1277601752237215876/20240826_131220.png?ex=66cdc2da&is=66cc715a&hm=a191d4ee83bd2a884ec1a842ab7f8a9081c6d1fcf60ec62f705ae6c18fbc9281& [12:14:00] Ok [12:14:02] Ryzen™ AI is defined as the combination of a dedicated AI engine, AMD Radeon™ graphics engine, and Ryzen processor cores that enable AI capabilities. [12:14:12] oh so its just graphics card [12:14:28] could you call speculative execution AI? [12:15:36] It's basically part of the CPU that's designed to process AI stuff better [12:15:44] Like a GPU is for graphics [12:15:56] finally, ✨ making up bullshit locally ✨ [12:16:31] Could say that [12:16:54] It's not AI powered though [12:16:58] It's for powering AI [12:17:01] Very different [12:17:03] Okay [12:17:15] So it's useless for me basically [12:17:23] What you want to use it for? [12:18:36] Laptop is for animation and terrible coding [12:19:34] Uni too? [12:19:45] mfw an entire wiki requests bureaucrat: https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Steward_requests/Permissions?curid=72046&diff=415940&oldid=414787 [12:20:06] Yea [12:20:30] @ghaztliousmoths look at a MacBook, you can get a decent discount with UNiDAYS [12:20:39] Which might actually work with your current college email [12:20:45] And a £120 voucher [12:20:55] Discount runs until October [12:21:55] [1/2] I've tried UniDays, it doesn't work with my student email :p [12:21:55] [2/2] Also my one self-imposed requirement is that its not apple [12:22:12] I just have terrible experiences with apple products [12:22:15] Apple are great [12:22:22] I've never had any issues [12:23:57] Look at dell then [12:24:22] Alright [12:24:29] Dell are good [12:24:36] I might have discount codes lying around [12:24:44] Ooo [12:25:48] Let me know what you want and I'll see what I can do if it's Dell [12:26:22] I have a precision and they are great [12:26:41] Although a bit heavy [12:27:08] Oki, I'll look into them [12:45:24] Looking at specs hurts my head :p [12:53:58] For which one? [12:54:11] Any computer [12:56:07] I will see if I can ask some crazy people what their thoughts are [12:56:20] i wonder if i count as crazy people [12:57:18] No absolutely not, and my cat is the CEO of google [12:58:04] can you ask your cat to deprioritize fandom results [12:58:17] I just wanted to say that lmao [12:58:32] great minds think alike [12:58:38] weee [12:59:19] [1/2] It's really annoying that some sites don't specify if a graphics card is dedicated or not [12:59:19] [2/2] I'm just trying to find stuff that matches the list of requirements but it's like, there's too many options and I don't know what stuff means other than extremely basic knowledge [13:09:21] LMAO [13:09:25] No I can’t [13:09:34] sad :( [13:09:38] Partially because I don’t have a cat [13:09:52] Why do I have a headache [13:10:00] why do headaches [13:12:02] BlankEclair: you can be a crazy person if you like [13:12:17] I know a dell accredited server tech [13:12:20] am i unhinged enough i wonder [13:12:28] They were the crazy person I thought about [13:12:34] For buying laptops [13:12:44] They know everything Dell & Apple [13:14:41] Ooo [13:15:41] I would like this headache to consider going away as soon as possible [13:15:47] I don't have time for headaches [13:18:15] ikr? [14:03:38] does anybody have any good, relatively cheap laptop recommendations? im looking for one t hat preferably can run good for various things (video editing, gaming, etc) [14:04:55] Look at approved used stuff @gl0v3 [14:10:59] TIL this exists in dnd lore [14:11:00] https://dice.camp/@FRWiki/113028445318897049 [14:11:06] This displeases me [14:16:24] im weirdly endeared [14:16:40] I want to Pet it [14:16:58] D&D lore is crazy [14:17:12] And this is why I’m going to be running a far realm incursion campaign [14:17:32] Elder Evils are fucking awesome [14:17:56] Who doesn’t want to fight Borem, the Lake of Boiling Mud [14:20:27] https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Borem_of_the_Lake_of_Boiling_Mud?so=search [14:45:48] [1/5] My 2c on this: [14:45:48] [2/5] * While fun in concept, fighting an actual deity-level entity is a massive challenge for newer players, as well as new GMs [14:45:48] [3/5] * this generally only features in higher-level campaigns, where the players are starting to achieve demigod territory themselves [14:45:48] [4/5] * One approach to keep the fun factor while appropriately-scaling the encounter is to empower the bbeg with avatar/aspect abilities in line with the entity itself. [14:45:49] [5/5] * "Wild wacky waving mud-arm man!" [14:46:17] Oh I absolutely agree I’m not putting them against his full form [14:47:15] The story idea I’ve been gravitating to from the far realm incursion is some global event tearing the veil between worlds of the far and material, and causing the far to spill over [14:47:44] In D&D canon, Borem is dead [14:48:04] As I recall with the Jagamin(?) god killer dagger in his heart [14:48:09] Figuring out appropriate encounter scaling is a hurdle for new GMs, and I've seen folks easily fall into 'that's a cool monster!' without thinking through whether the players are at an appropriate power scale to handle an encounter (through flight or fight) [14:48:32] i.e. basilisk at level 1-2. Cool monster, the party has no way to deal with petrification [14:48:52] Being a primordial, the influx of influence im thinking would be what awakes a part of him. But yeah you’re totally right [14:49:04] If I wanna use Borem at all it will be way later [14:49:23] (Not saying you're doing that at all, just distilling my thoughts from prior play) [14:50:34] One notable example that happened to me, DM dropping an intellect devourer on the level 1 party as their first encounter, failing my save, and ending up a comatose vegetable in the first session. [14:50:45] Sometimes rolls go bad! [14:51:03] But I did get to RP gargling emotes for an hour and a half. 😄 [14:51:16] LMAO [14:51:31] I’ll look for some low level abjurations [14:52:08] But i probably wanna make the start of the campaign more about story and RP, getting used to a world where the FUCKING MOON EXPLODED and the world of madness is leaking in [14:52:13] I’m still brainstorming [14:52:38] But having the moon break and madness spill out and towards the material is objectively badass [14:53:22] I was thinking of using my plot hook from before and have the players accidentally deliver the final piece for a BBEG to do this [14:53:25] But at level one eh [14:53:34] I think having it be a mystery is more fun [14:54:10] Heh... bad idea just came to me [14:54:48] Majora's mask moon - instead of exploding, what if it grew a face and started vomiting out abberation horrors [14:54:50] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1277642417167798342/iu.png?ex=66cde8b9&is=66cc9739&hm=9a9dbb3afcaa1b58d6818e5b49edf79f0f2776f1cf876fbfe765d242332f0ad7& [14:55:09] That might be too much nightmare fuel [14:56:13] [1/2] The flavor I have right now is the players are at a festival or something, end of session one, when they notice something. A giant beam of light, from somewhere near the center of the continent. They watch as it climbs into the sky, past the cloud, and into the full moon. Cracks start to spread along the surface, down the across the face, until. BOOM. The players watch in horror and [14:56:13] [2/2] after a few seconds, the shockwave hits them [14:56:15] End session [14:56:28] That gives a ton to work with even without the far realm stuff [14:56:47] all the ecological things like the tides controlled by the moon [14:56:57] Clerics of Selune [14:56:58] Heh, you're on the right track. You'll do just fine. 😄 [14:57:12] Ty lol [14:57:26] I wanna see if I can’t find some subwoofers for the moon break lmao [14:57:39] To make the room actually shake would be very funny [14:58:35] I’m split between going with the flavor of some dark thing in the moons core leaking out, or the sky itself fracturing, in that if you look up at the sky, you can see glimpses of the far realm past the stars [14:58:45] Like behind a pane of glass [14:58:55] I’m gonna look for art references [15:00:53] I need to come up with a new session one idea to end this with though [15:01:17] This sounds also awesome though lmao [15:04:55] [1/2] But yeah balancing is a bitch. I hear from a lot of people they’ve given their parties encounters that rate as deadly and the PCs mop the floor with them. Action economy is one part of it I think but. Although stats also hurt me. I’m looking through my copy of a one shot and other stuff book and the one I want to run is rated for levels 1-5, so I’m wondering i [15:04:55] [2/2] f i should bump down stats and if so how much, since the first encounter seems kinda big(40 smt HP). There’s only two actual story fights but plenty of optional variants that I think should at least some be run [15:05:02] The wonders of DMing [15:07:11] It is annoying to keep running through ideas and paving over and always having something not be done or fit [17:23:25] [1/2] the "updating old code" experience [17:23:25] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1277679811233452092/image.png?ex=66ce0b8d&is=66ccba0d&hm=b1545ddbf8cf7a703c2dabf1d8a80598c5f6bbea7cd52156f8c354e9bc711525& [18:17:20] How likly are SQL injecttion attacks on a MediaWiki site? [18:37:28] hopefully not [18:37:42] core shouldn’t have any [18:37:50] Extensions add risk [18:38:14] Depends whose code [18:38:18] Guess it helps that I keep extension numbers as low as I can then [19:15:44] <.labster> Unfortunately I think that all of our wikis talk to the same DB server and have the same grants on mysql, so that it only would need one wiki to be compromised. [19:16:23] <.labster> I am coming up with different nightmare fuel than PixDeVl. [19:16:44] <.labster> Wikis hacked, everything compromised [19:19:59] @.labster correct but I think @theburningfirethatscorchessouls is talking about mediawiki in general [19:22:57] Is there any way Mirheze could counter that? [19:28:32] Security reviews [19:29:18] I just wonder if that is a thing that needs to be thought about [19:29:31] Yes [19:29:54] SQL injection attacks are something we must consider [19:43:46] On one side, we have moon shattering, Cthulhl, Elder Evils and Cosmic Horror. On the other, Cargo [19:54:19] <.labster, replying to pixldev> I would have used Semantic Mediawiki in that metaphor [19:54:54] fair enough [20:30:33] [[TC_101#LocalWiki.php]] got it!
