If you're recommending setting up a forward/IMAP collection from a Gmail account, don't forget to mention deleting the messages from the server as well! Emails left on a server for more than 30 days are considered "abandoned property" for the purposes of warrantless search.

They're not using a different protocol for delivery, they still use IMAP and SMTP, but other mail clients can't decrypt the message content from Proton because they don't have the keys (and nor do Proton). Proton do supply a "bridge" app if you want to use your Proton mail with a desktop email client, which handles the decryption between your computer and Proton by accessing the Proton encryption keys on your computer.

TLS is like a padlock on a box, and you have the key. Encrypted content is if the letter in the box is also written in code, needing another key to translate into plain language.

How does one send a spam email that passes SPF and DKIM if one doesn't have access to the DKIM private key, or the DNS server to edit the SPF or DKIM records?

Can I offer you some Star Sector (https://fractalsoftworks.com) in these trying times? It's a top-down view with more real-time strategy and RPG to it than first person space sim, but the exploration component is there in spades and scavenging ships to add them to your fleet is pretty fun and satisfying. I've been playing it obsessively the last few weeks.

I didn't know about the secret exploration stuff in Freelancer 2, I never found wormholes or what have you. Might have to load it back up! Or the FOSS version, thanks to all who commented so far for mentioning those 😊

Obesity is much easier to see than differences in brain topology, and obese is something a person can become. Nobody "becomes" autistic.

There seems to be some disagreement over the term, but I have always liked the explanation that "true" Roguelikes are "like Rogue", in that they have randomly-generated maps, permadeath, and nothing saved between runs; meanwhile Roguelites feature a "meta-progression" system that allows the player some kind of persistent progress that carries over between runs, and maybe other QOL features.

I love the idea of these games, but I am terrible at them. I sat down with Dark Souls and played it until I got gud, but Caves and Tales and Dwarf Fortress all kick my ass. Any tips on how to not suck long enough to learn how to not suck?

If it helps: most likely the vessel imploded, and that is so quick they wouldn't even have had time to process what was happening. By the time any pain signal would get to the brain, there's no brain left to receive it. So... probably the best way to go, IMO.

Nuke it and pray to whatever spirits motivate them that they didn't manage to install a rootkit...
