There are still a handful of us from the TTT IRC around. I asked Tag for a copy of his archive during the pandemic and put it on S3 if there are any tracks you are looking for from the old days.

A document scanner.

I had many years of old paper tax returns, and I wanted them in PDF format. Paid $400 for an Fujitsu ScanSnap iX1500 and absolutely love it. Put a stack of documents in the top, hit "scan", and a PDF appears on my computer. Zero hassle.

Anything that I get in paper form gets immediately scanned, backed up, and shredded.

The main difference is that if someone steals your debit card info and goes on a spending spree, that money is gone from your account until the fraud folks at your bank can deal with it.

This may result in overdrafts from other automatic payments or not being able to pay for things you need, until the money is restored to your account.

I'm not sure about historical prices of the components, but this article is from 2015, as noted in the footer and in the PDF guide linked at the top.

I'm not sure if things have changed since your experience, but the last time I exceeded the 180 days of inactivity, my credits were removed from the Skype client and a link appeared in their place, telling me to "reactivate" my credits on the website.

I went to the website and clicked a link and my credits showed in the Skype client again.

How to Make an RPG 10 years ago

There is a table of contents at the bottom of this page: https://howtomakeanrpg.com/

I bought the book. Haven't read it yet but the PDF is 978 pages and the downloads of source/assets was approx. 2GB.

Roughly glancing through the book, there seems to be code examples on most pages. Looks like he's using LUA.

You don't have to install anything to do color switching, AFAIK. There are configuration options that you can use to match based on regexp, so you tell it when it sees '^root@hostname' it needs to change the background color and you are done.

I just bought it as well and was also trying to get HTTPS proxying to work. I am not a security guy, so I could be incorrect, but I think there are two things going on here:

1) the certificate generated by Proxy is 512 bits which OS X doesn't support; and

2) i'm not sure that Proxy will work with sites that use HSTS -- you might be able to clear the HSTS database in Chrome, but still for sites like Google, I think the certificate information is hard-coded.
