It used to be that your ISP included subscription for newsgroups, etc in the connection costs.

Italian here. Plural would still be Volta, because it already is in a sense. Now, for the actual words “volta” meaning vault, arch, and “volta” meaning “time” (as in “that time we did that”), then the plural is “volte”.

90’s shooters taught me that the ideal amount of weapons to carry is 9, with a 10th one ideally becoming available at the end of your adventure

Most Linux distros contain proprietary packages, it’s one of the reasons why for example Fedora isn’t considered beginner friendly, they don’t ship proprietary stuff so it doesn’t have codecs, etc by default.

I approve, in the name of culinary exchange.

gog.com of course! They do a lot of work to make sure old games work on new platforms.
Proton is probably a good option as well.

All the Command and Conquer games
Dungeon Keeper
Carmageddon
I’d say Civ 3 but I don’t think modern ones require strong hardware
Baldur’s Gate
It’s not 20 years old but Tyranny is a great RPG

you should be able to use the pattern module for that

In MY old truck, which I rarely got into the water because the water near where I live would have carried me away, the lowest electrical components in the cabin would have been on top of the center console. Well, if you exclude the courtesy lights in the doors.
And while I didn’t get it in the water often, I knew plenty of people who did, we had a brand fan club.

Unfortunately my offroading days are long behind me, so I don’t know what’s the norm today.

Yeah but the engine, suspensions, etc have shifted towards comfort rather than ruggedness, and those are mostly the same for all models.

That said I come from a place where we are used to real work vehicles, say Mercedes sprinter or Iveco Daily, and the comparison to American pick-up trucks is just ridiculous.

Old trucks dgaf, 12-24V circuits handled water just fine, after all they already are splash (and pressure wash) proof. And if you don’t have electronic injection, the engine only needs electricity for the starter motor.

I have a domain and I use email aliases, they’re addresses that redirect everything they receive to another address. That way you could for example redirect all emails from John@Doe.com to John.doe@proton.com

When you send emails from John.doe@proton.com, if you want to show the alias’ address as the sender, your provider must have support for identities, many do, Gmail does, proton I don’t remember.

Btw you don’t PURCHASE a domain, you rent it. Usually the basic plans can include limited hosting space for a website, and actual e-mail accounts with storage, but while most also offer webmail portals, they aren’t as good an experience as Gmail.

If you search “truck snorkel” images, where the tube starts on the outside is where the air filter intake is.

Normal trucks can wade water as high as their air intake, which usually is above one of the front wheels, inside the fender. You can go a bit above that for short distances if you keep a good momentum and create a wave in front of you, but that’s risky.

Of course modern trucks, having turned from work to luxury vehicles, may have issues.

Btw I suggest URLCheck on F-Droid, it registers as a browser and allows you to check, clean, un-shorten links and so on before opening them

dude looks like someone who would shoot at planes

You mean the right to arm fires?

You’ve got to wonder if that will give them pause when the pilots need to be concerned about being used for target practice.

They could send an escort. Free target practice!

I have a general unease about the sea and water in general so I’m sure it’ll have some lovely tense moments once we get playing.

For me the first one went from relaxing to anxiety-inducing quite quickly once you started to go deep
