Yes, the sudo bit is a drawback. The daemon drops privileges early, though. There is some work in the kernel space for rootless fanotify, which I look forward to. There is already some rootless fanotify API, but it requires holding onto a d

It's a bundle in Ukrainian. You know, like in cartoons when a character walks away sadly with a bundle on a stick. I have a vivid childhood memory of a scene in Tom & Jerry where Tom does this. The idea of backed up files being in

The primary MFA device should be a Yubikey or something similar. Some of such keys are designed to be permanently plugged in. People use phones instead when they don't want to invest into a key or as a backup. EDIT: Or when OTP over SM

I'm sorry, it's not intentional. When Ukrainians refer to Europe, they almost always mean the EU. We need some mental shift to consistently include ourselves when talking about Europe.

If you and your friend both change the preferences a bit, e.g., grid size, it's very likely that you will match. It's more of a workaround though, I should absolutely put some effort into creating a lobby.

You can capture instead of placing a unit as a move. The bot may give an impression of capturing a few units at once because the whole turn (3 moves by default) of the bot is computed and rendered at once.

It's a weighted random choice, so a bit better than randomly because of the weights, but not much better.

Yes, very weak is probably a better description. I haven't learnt the theory behind AI opponents properly yet, so this bot is essentially a weighted random choice.

The rules don't need JS, I should have probably server-side-rendered them, sorry.

We shaded it as we usually played with pens of different colors.

Good suggestions, thanks! The only purpose of the ID for now is to allow people to verify that they are matched by checking that the IDs are equal on both sides.

Being second is beneficial at the end of the game — the first player will run out of the legal moves quicker, all other things being equal. I'm not sure it completely balances out the first player advantage, though.

It should detect the browser window/tab being closed and automatically concede. You are right that there is no timeout, though.

We did play on an A5 as well! We called the variant "the Lord of the Rings", it was two players that played humans and elves versus one who played orcs. Only humans were allowed to move diagonally, elves could place walls over an

Your strategy is definitely good — capturing territory to fill it later when advancing doesn't make sense is important. 7 moves are more complex, but much less so when playing against the bot. Your suggestion about making the bot eager

The bot is not very good, unfortunately. It's mainly useful to help understand the rules, as in your case. If you're interested in playing with an experienced player, ping me at nazar@vinnich.uk :) > Which is the standard lengh

Hi HN, I played this game a lot in school over here in Ukraine and was surprised that there is almost no coverage [1] of it in English. So, I built this tiny website where one can read the rules and play the game online. There is also an op

With XOR you need all the shards to restore the file. With SSS you can lose a predefined number of shards and still restore the file with the other shards.
