⚄︎ Perchance

This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.

Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)

This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

See this post for the Complete Guide to Posting Here on the Community!

Rules

1. Please follow the Lemmy.World instance rules.

2. Be kind and friendly.

  • Please be kind to others on this community (and also in general), and remember that for many people Perchance is their first experience with coding. We have members for whom English is not their first language, so please be take that into account too :)

3. Be thankful to those who try to help you.

  • If you ask a question and someone has made a effort to help you out, please remember to be thankful! Even if they don't manage to help you solve your problem - remember that they're spending time out of their day to try to help a stranger :)

4. Only post about stuff related to perchance.

  • Please only post about perchance related stuff like generators on it, bugs, and the site.

5. Refrain from requesting Prompts for the AI Tools.

  • We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (text-to-image-plugin and ai-text-plugin) e.g. "What is the good prompt for X?", "How to achieve X with Y generator?"
  • See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
  • You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
  • We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

6. Search through the Community Before Posting.

  • Please Search through the Community Posts here (and on Reddit) before posting to see if what you will post has similar post/already been posted.

For any website on the internet (not specific to perchance):

  • If you're not using a VPN, then your IP is visible to any webpage you visit. From your IP, the author of the page can guess at your country/state/region (definitely not street address or anything close to that, to be clear).
  • If you are using a reputable VPN, and you've got their browser extension installed, then it shouldn't be possible for anyone to see your IP, regardless of whether WebRTC is being used on the page (via peerjs or any other multiplayer/peer-to-peer type frameworks). For example, I know that the NordVPN browser extension enables WebRTC leak protection by default.
  • A side note just to clarify: peerjs is not a malicious script - it's used all over the internet for multiplayer games, video conferencing, and that type of thing.

TL;DR: If you want to hide your IP, you need to use a reputable VPN like NordVPN, and make sure you've got their browser extension installed. This applies to any website on the internet, not just perchance, to be clear.
