Ah, thanks for the explanation! Yeah, that's what I thought too. You can just cheat to get to 50 as quickly as possible. 🤔
Yeah, I'm not a picky eater... Well, easy peasy. lol
tho, that will probably be detectable when a suspicious amount of points (eg 20 points for 20 foods) are earned.

Yes, but why even mention food you don't like, so you get 0 points? Like wut?!

so true.

on a side note, I don't like the "subtract 1" option for the counting game, because in fast play, it can cause inconsistencies, whether accidentally done due to lag, or intended due to favourite numbers or to "play on the other side"

personal totals .. don't have such issues and are preferred by real databases (eg youtube view count by country, and yes, they can subtract suspicious views later on)

@GlassMoon When you have a moment, can you explain to me how the Game: "Gluttony Game. Suppertime Edition" works in baby-language? I just don't see the logic. How did you figure it out? Dank u!
I took a guess, I think... @IncrediblePal summed it up quite well. The challenge is that at some point, someone may have to sacrifice themselves to post on a letter where no-one finds anything they like. But otherwise, no-one can ever win.

Glad you're trying to join!!!

ooo, good idea... on the server laptop, that probably should be implemented soon... and this laptop can run with that limit when at home.

I used the scripts from https://www.baeldung.com/linux/limit-battery-charge-level and used the PC for a bit. To confirm whether it works or not, I set initial thresholds to allow charging from 98% to 99%, but after 2 mins or so, the charge hasn't drained below 100%.

Then I noticed not available/permission denied errors:

That's the file that couldn't be written to, even as root... so I fear the 2011 Dell doesn't support charge limits from linux.


PS: On the live OS, reboot will clear the config to the default on USB.

hmm.... change config in the live os then i guess but if its not supported then it probably wont work, 99% sure it need hardware support to shutdown the charging.

im a bit fancy made my power cabal to a dead man switch if i pull it runs poweroff and everything is encrypted in seconds

ooo that's cool. Tbh, having a UPS with a Desktop PC would be cool, can disconnect the PC from the UPS for rapid shutdown... and if power merely goes out, there is time to save work (or read the rest of some posts) before shutdown.
