Ok, if it tries to mask as another game, maybe it's best to start the game with a (fake) steam account. (Enable compatibility mode for proton for the game on steam).
I get exactly the results for reddit.com and old.reddit.com
Maybe try the searxng matrix support chat, I think there might be a few developers around that could point you in right direction:
https://matrix.to/#/#searxng:matrix.org
They also have a Mirc support channel is that is more your cup of tea.
Is there a website that lists extensions you might need to install in winetricks for any given game?
I feel it would help a lot to have a source like that at hand...
I cannot find the custom skip option, can you please give directions?
Gamemode should take care of that. I think it's enabled by default when you run games via lutris.
I would try to find something a bit newer. Core 2 Duos are really power hungry. Find one with an i5 processor and a T at the end of the number, like i5 3450T or something. This will be a little less performant but run at 30 watt max compared to the core 2 duos 150 watt. Fujitsu esprimo are also a good cheap option and both lenovo and Fujitsu offer rather tiny pcs that work excellent for severs.
I host my own email on uberspace. It's a vps where you pay what you think is appropriate per month. You can install whatever you want on the vps, but they have a very good tutorial page on how to set up services. Email among them. I set it up a couple of years ago and it just works. Email is kind of pre set up as well, so should be easy enough to get working. You can enable the spam filter as well. You can also set up alias emails for every account you open up with some other provider. I name them after that provider, for example: ebay@my-domain.com
That way I always know where the spam is coming from and just delete the alias address if necessary.
Start here for a good privacy focusef overview of currently available internet messengers:
https://www.messenger-matrix.de/messenger-matrix-en.html
From the blog entry by the same author:
Cons: no verification of contacs possible at the moment, Increased battery usage compared to other messengers, some client instabilities, no full security audit.
Apart from these points the messenger should be secure and privacy friendly.
I prefer the conversations (xmpp) messenger at the moment. It's using a well established and lightweight protocol (20 years old already)
I would love to use jmp.chat for calls and sms, but it's not affordable in most European countries at the moment.
I can highly recommend War Of Rights. Multiplayer only American civil war fps.
You form a long line in a field with 20 odd men facing the enemy line. It takes around 25 seconds to reload your gun, while the enemy is firing at you.
"Gentlemen, take aim, steady, steadyyy, steadyyyyyy, FIRE!"
The whole team gets penalised if you die out of line or duck for cover.
