For DF: The free version had a Linux build for a long time. The paid version adds new graphics, and it took a while for that to get a Linux release.

For Minecraft: you should be able to play without an account if you're single player and using a third party launcher. I almost exclusively play with friends.

Off the top of my head: Half Life 2! OpenTTD, Dwarf Fortress, Minecraft.

I use mailbox.org personally. Disroot is probably fine. Do they have 2FA? That would be the most essential thing you want here if you're worried about being hacked by an outside party. 2FA would even mitigate a password leak in most cases, since they'd only have 1 of the authentication factors.

If you're worried about hacking, you can do some things to mitigate the damage that would cause. Download important old emails and delete them from the server, this is pretty easy to do in a desktop client (like thunderbird or outlook) where you'd just move them to a local folder. That way if someone gains access, or they sell to someone that processes the data, they won't have the old emails (unless they for some reason retained a separate copy, which seems doubtful).

Sign your email up for https://haveibeenpwned.com/. Then you'll get notifications if there's any data leaks, including of your email provider. Obviously this is only useful if nobody has stolen your account before the leak is reported, but that's more likely than not (unless you're a particularly valuable target for some reason).

Honestly? Probably not. How many awkward things that you've heard other people say do you remember for more than a week?

As an original Fable fan I'm intrigued... Yikes at the YouTube comments section tho.

You'd like that, wouldn't you?

Oh, I'll take a look at those plugins.

IMO Obsidian is already a little rogue, in the sense that it only supports their sync. I know you can glue something together by syncing the folder itself, but that's not convenient or the point. For now I'll stick with Joplin because it works with nextcloud nicely.

The Transit app, used for bus/train route info and buying tickets. I imagine the ticket buying part would be difficult to OS, but I just want the live transit routing info. A few apps exist for other cities, but not mine. Worst part is Transit relies on Google Maps.

Oh I see. I took your first sentence as meaning you stopped a paragraph in.

I agree that buses are less efficient, I think it's the best argument for rail.

I will point out, all of St. Louis' new buses are electric.

I suggest you read a little farther. They're arguing in favor of spending the money on buses instead. It's a train vs bus article.

 

The St. Louis Urbanists are starting a Bike Bus for home CITY games! It's a fun, healthy, and eco-friendly way to get to CITYPARK.

We take off from Amsterdam Tavern 75 minutes before kickoff, picking up folks along the route, and returning along the same route after the final whistle. All bikes and skill levels are welcome – we try to maintain a 9-12 mph pace on low-traffic streets and we'll use the bike trail from Scott Ave to CITYPARK, which just finished construction last month.

Meet new people, get some exercise, save money, and show your CITY pride!
