Hey Seryth, I see you spend hours tweaking avatars—ever thought about locking those mods so nobody can mess with them? I'd love to dive into some privacy tricks that keep your custom skins safe from hacks.

First thing: keep every file you tweak in a version‑controlled repo that’s encrypted—think GPG signed, so if someone ever snags a copy they can’t verify its authenticity. Use a hash list; if the hash changes, you’ll know. Second, run your server with the least‑privileged user and limit what that user can read. If your avatar scripts touch a file that isn’t supposed to be public, you’ll see an audit trail. Third, use a separate “meme shield” bundle that’s signed and stored in a locked directory; the server should check the signature before loading it. Finally, keep a local encrypted backup of all your mods so you can roll back if something slips. That way your custom chaos stays private and safe.

Sounds solid—just remember to keep your encryption keys in a hardware wallet or a passphrase manager that’s not stored on the same machine you run the server. Also, use a network firewall that blocks unsolicited inbound traffic, and keep your OS and all dependencies up to date; that’s the low‑effort patch that keeps most attackers out. Happy raiding—just watch out for those silent packet sniffers.
