When you roll a 10 for initiative and someone else rolls a 1 for perception... three times in a row.

Honestly reminds me of how much work my fiancée had to put into convincing me that she did in fact want to date me and liked me a whole lot. Took me two weeks to figure that out.

Honestly reminds me of how much work my fiancée put into convincing me that yes, she did in fact want to date me. Took her two weeks of texting to figure out she needed to tell me with words

You're gonna love tomorrow's comic haha. Oh man. I'm grinning from ear to ear just thinking about it.

Sometimes your comics make me wish I hadn't decided that my D&D character was asexual lol. There're been a few NPCs that have attempted to flirt with 泰山

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Asexual =/= aromantic. Your character can be asexual and still be romantically attracted to people

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

It's been previously established that Taishan is confused by the concept of relationships in general. I could rp this as being so busy he never had time to work on his own feelings, though. This would fit with how I've rped his various traumas.

Another option is to take inspiration from one of the other players at the table, since theres some implied S.A. in Taishan's edgy as hell backstory. It is possible that he's confused sex trauma with actual asexuality. Even though this is the more logical route to take, I don't want to potentially trigger the other player since they are currently getting therapy for exactly that trauma.

If people want detail, Konsi is lesbian, and Razira is Bi

Your SSL certificate expired

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I know. A friend of mine runs a small private server where I host my stuff, and the SSL cert expires every now and then, it'll be down for a while until he wakes up and pokes it.

I guess for this one I can edit it and just upload the image directly (I don't normally do that so I don't use too much of the server's bandwidth.)

Boo technical issues.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You can usually have a job autorenew the certificate, which would help with the downtime.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think he likes his setup - because he's running a bunch of different spaces for people, it gives him the impetus to check in on them.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

FWIW CertBot does send an email when your cert is about to expire, and then renews it for you.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

I am informed that the server does, in fact, run certbot - and certbot invalidated the certificate :)

It's fixed now.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Yeah, a simple cron job fixed the issue.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Every now and then is every 90 days.

I see he is using a simple Self-signed one; they're often quite easy to automate. While just tangential to my proficiency I could have a quick chat with him and then throw the appropriate tutorials for the specific hosting solution (and a helping hand, if needed) at him to never have to renew it manually again.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Nah, he knows what he's doing. As I understand it, one of the other hosted domains on his server pointed their domain off-server, and this triggers a review. I understand that invalidating the certificate until it's checked is the desirable outcome.

Yay! I love this! So heartwarming yet hilarious 🥰🫠😆

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Yes! I knew it! I'm so proud of them!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I will leave it up to the initiative of others if they want to illustrate this. (I'm entirely happy with this happening.)
