Hi all,
I play an online game in which there is a lot of people working as a team.
There are a lot of tips and tricks that can't be explained easily through the ingame chat.
Some players use LINE, others use WhatsApp, others... and it is complicated to make all those tips easily available for all.
I don't know the players... so I don't know if a google drive link to a PDF file is a real option for all...
Would it be possible to get a domain for free, make a small web page that store the information and send them the link?
If you had to do this... how would you do it?
Thank you all!

There are lots of "free hosting services" most of which will register a domain for you also for free.
But ... you get what you pay for (or more usually less than you pay for); bandwidth, storage, even uptime are ... um ... generally poor, and tech support is often at a premium rate (Hey! They have to make money somewhere, right?)

Isn't there a forum where you can post them?
Post it on the (official) forum and then just give them the link to the forum post.

How about Blogger.com - google's blog building site?
You can get a URL and the ability to add pages super fast and free.
1. sign up
2. create your site
3. add the page of info you want to add.
4. share link
Then, later if you want to add a new entry it'll be easy.

Create a wiki? There are other free sites available with a search.

Use a Google doc and share it

In the morning at the mid-point of my journey, I'm half-way to work.
In the evening, at exactly the same location, I'm half way home.
I think a glass that was half empty would be far more fun!

For me it would depend on whether I wanted a static page that I maintain or an interactive page with discussion and commentary. For the former, I would go with a google-hosted page and for the latter I would find a blogging site. Google might have those too but I don't know.

I wouldn't recommend committing to a free web-site, because I've yet to see one that provides value for money (not a joke), but you can set up a a blog on wordpress.com or blogger.com for free, and they're both stable, useful platforms.
If you don't want the hassle of learning new tools that you won't use for any other purpose, though, you can do a docx (not doc) or pdf file, and share it through Dropbox.

read GAME, so first thing that comes to mind is Discord,
I have only really used it for voice chat, but would not be surprised if not had file and wiki sections.
(benifit is has a web page interface so no need to download and install yet another app)
MS Teams has a wiki section - so i assume Slack has a similar.

I use Discord myself for a game I play. The groups I got invited to had plenty of different staff.
The app logs the chats and you get a "last connected" delta when you come back. You have privileges management, private chat, voice chat, configurable bots to show different things, Interaction with Youtube and GIFs...
About file sharing... I can't tell, but I can check. Anyways is not difficult to use dropbox and put the link there for others to download.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

You could create a private, invitation-only Facebook Group and post document(s) there.
I know many are Facebook-averse. But it is an option.

I would suggest Discord for gaming

Put it up on Dropbox, and share a web-based link to it.

This must be "earliest record in the English language". "At fokka" was a recognized word in the Norse language in the Viking age, referring to the beating motions made by the male partner.
This is one of several words that the Vikings brought to other languages, and then the word went out of use in Norway. Hundreds of years later we import it back, usually from English, most people not knowing that the word has root in the Norse language. (Another example is "bag", or "baggin" in Norse, which re-entered Norwegian as an "English" word in the 1960s.)

Makes sense - it can get pretty lonely out there on those ships. With so many others aboard, the term "beat's me" was no doubt also coined.

I've been getting some GitHub security warnings for packages which are added by the Node/ElectronJS project template.
You get a warning that you should update some package you've never heard of, however:
1. they don't explain the actual best way to update.
2. searching for explanations of how to update provides only esoteric and cryptic answers
3. after implementing the fix and updating, I'm not sure how I get GitHub to re-test to let me know if the problem is resolved.
It's quite annoying.
It is no wonder that we all ignore security alerts and just hope the hackers don't find us. 
And, of course, the real issue is the dependence upon hundreds or even thousands of dependencies that are just shoved into your project. 
I only have myself to blame for building on this framework, but it is so enticing when you see things work.
