I hope nobody today is depending on websites that use Flash, but I'm still glad to see projects like this, for the sake of cultural preservation.

dedent() can help with that.

Your current approach of talking raw SMTP is likely to be more hassle than is worthwhile, and since the days of permissive SMTP servers are long gone, might not work at all.

Since you appear to be using an Debian-based Linux distro, I suggest this approach:

  • If you don't specifically need exim, consider replacing it with the lightweight dma package (DragonFly Mail Agent): apt install dma
  • Configure dma (or exim) to use your ISP's SMTP server as a smart host. (Or the Gmail SMTP server if your ISP doesn't provide one.)
  • Use the /usr/sbin/sendmail command (which comes with dma or exim) to send messages from your scripting language of choice.

If you prefer to receive messages as SMS, note that most major mobile carriers maintain an email-to-sms gateway for this purpose. Some web searches will probably lead you to the one for your carrier. They usually accept email at an address like 123456789@sms-gateway.example.com

Maybe KDiskFree? I haven't tried it.

I can't comment on EndeavourOS, but your storage plan is fine. Good luck!

BTW, a lot of us would say Windows is already shit.

I actually found the side quests' writing pretty good, and indeed, sometimes even memorable. Unfortunately, most of those quests share a handful of nearly identical tasks, so the good writing started to feel like little more than window dressing before long.

The map encounters were worse, though: Lots of question marks telling me exactly where to go meant there was nearly no real exploration to be had in this open world, and arriving at them led to the same copypasta events over and over again. If you happen to enjoy those events enough that you can't get enough of them, then that's great, but I was bored after the first dozen or so. (Skyrim was far better in this department.)

I remember liking a lot of the main quests, and the characters, and the story, and the world building. It's just that the bulk of the gameplay felt like filler content, with forgettable combat and awkward controls. (I swear, Geralt, if you plod forward one more time when I pull back on the stick, or let one more candle get in the way when I try to interact with something useful, I'm gonna smack you.)

I hope Witcher 4 maintains (or even improves upon) the writing quality of its predecessor, and adds responsive controls and interesting gameplay beyond the main plot points.

I would expect any random headset to plug into the headset and microphone ports and Just Work, and ditto for USB

For the most part these days, they do. But OP asked about wireless.

or Bluetooth headsets that report themselves as the appropriate device class.

The problem with Bluetooth is not the operating system or drivers, but Bluetooth itself. The spec famously lacks provisions for good quality stereo output with good quality input at the same time. This is why many wireless headsets use a (non-Bluetooth) dongle.

I'm a fan of static site generators, but unless I'm missing something, this won't replace the most important part of Bandcamp: a platform for selling music.

I feel so bad for those kids getting esport degrees.

What universities are offering e-sport degrees? This is the first I've heard of it. Can you post some links?

WTF is that title?

Cut scenes should have the standard playback controls: Pause, stop, next/previous part, subtitles. They should also be available for later replay.

Geany or (with a lot of reconfiguration) Kate.

Geany is built upon the same text edit control as Notepad++.
