DnD Central / Re: Welcome to SMF!

Possible, I haven't actually checked. It didn't feel/look like 20,000 characters, it did feel like 8000 characters (the limit at my.opera)

I haven't really given the limit much thought; it's simply the default. But most posts (including this one) never even reach 1/10th of even 8,000, so it doesn't really seem necessary to restrict the few outliers.

Forum Administration / Re: Moderation

Maybe there should be a rule that moderators who take part in a thread shouldn't do any moderation there ( other than purely janitorial tasks like cleaning up spam )

I'm not convinced that should be a rule, but it should do as a guideline. If you're personally invested in the thread, exercise restraint. Always try to differentiate between what you find annoying and what is not permissible. There's overlap, but they're not the same thing.

DnD Central / Re: The Problem with Atheism
Yup. I think a more accurate description of "the" problem is that being an atheist doesn't really mean anything. You're an atheist, and then what? That's the part that matters.

Browsers & Technology / Re: Keeping an eye on Opera
In case you were wondering about BS-Harou's philosophy, it is somewhat different from mine.

I like having everything that doesn't require speed of native apps in the browser :) Also the advantages of web interface (access from any device with internet connection, no local space required, backups) are in my case more important than advantages of native clients (encryption, speed, offline access).

Somewhat ironically, I might go with native for similar reasons.

Thanks to Unison, I have all my files on all my devices. Local space? I bought a new 2TB HDD for €60-70 a few months ago, and in my phone I'd got a 32GB SD card. In my phone's case, its purpose is an offline copy of Wikipedia, a few dictionaries,, some offline maps, and of course the capacity to take pictures and videos. That way I have access everywhere regardless of Internet connection.

Backup? Keeping my data safe is the primary reason I want to keep it local, or at least backed up in local copies. To keep it safer, create a rotation of external HDDs you exchange while e.g. visiting your parents. Pay a dedicated backup service. But surely don't depend on those who provide free cloud services.

Also, if I don't shut down my computer, I have access to everything from anywhere in the world through SSH.
