I love how the other players say they don’t consider it cheating.

I wonder if there have been any ML approaches to anti-cheat yet. I could actually see that making a ton of sense.

You’re reminding me I need to rewatch Hellraiser. Such a great movie.

Some people take their game worlds entirely too seriously. I find far too many in the competitive gaming scene treat video game accomplishments/loot/losses on the same level as real-world ones.

I bet it’s really satisfying to solve right up until it isn’t.

There’s probably already a way. It would just take 14 days per CPU cycle to run.

What’s that guy need so much water for anyway?!?!?

The very rough idea is this:

I have a server with multiple services and only one open port (not counting the SSL port) on my router.

Traffic comes into that one port straight to my server. That server has a reverse proxy installed with a directory of subdomains and associated ports.

It internally routes traffic coming in on my open port to the internal services on the server without having to expose them directly to the internet.

The big advantage is that because it all goes through my reverse proxy, I can add SSL certs to just that and now all of my subdomain services get the benefits of the SSL cert on the host.

I’m sure there are other uses for reverse proxies, but this is how they work in my setup.

God, I hate autocorrect.

The new controller and headset have stressed addressed every issue I had with each directly.

It killed me that the original Controller didn’t have a second analog stick. A lot of people tried to claim that the trackpad was a viable replacement, but I just could never get used to it. Loved all the other features.

On top of that, no more light towers! I’ll finally be able to bring it friends’ places to demo! Plus the fact that the headset supports native gaming means no tower needed for some titles. I’d imagine the vast majority of VR-focused titles will run just fine since they almost all target low-spec anyway.

You made pretty much every point exactly how I was going to make it.

I will mention that even as a pretty experienced sysadmin, learning Docker, reverse proxies, and relevant config files took ages because there are treated as assumed knowledge.

Every YouTube video on Docker is 30 minutes shorter than they should be, and terminology for reverse proxies is really confusing if you’re not already familiar.

It’s great to say you shouldn’t use these if you’re not familiar, but these are also probably the most poorly taught subjects in computing right now from my experience.

Surely a direct stream from the internet straight onto host hardware can’t be exploited in any way. All you gotta do is put the stream in a file. How hard could it be? (/s)

This video may help shed some light (as well as an already proven method to fool them): https://youtu.be/Pp9MwZkHiMQ

Flock would be using a local model, so this might actually be pretty effective.

I have a file server for copy 1, an external drive with incremental backups for copy 2, and copy 3 is a physically unplugged copy in a firesafe lockbox that I update manually. I don’t use any cloud providers to back up anything.

But that’s just it. I just ignore it and move on. I will feel worse emotionally and morally if I yell at someone than if I passively move on with my life. I don’t care of they win according to their rules. I’m winning according to mine.

1. I’m not that type of person. I don’t have it in me to rip someone apart that I don’t know personally.
2. They aren’t personally responsible. They’re on the bottom just like us.
3. The people who make the money will just continuously recycle employees because they know they can.

I feel this. My car has a super straightforward drivetrain (2003 Miata) and pretty simple electronics that I can follow and understand.

Looking under the hood of modern cars, half the time it’s so enclosed, you just see plastic and once you get past that, it’s an intertwined rats nest of complicated components.

On top of that, modern interiors are just loaded with features I don’t need. Give me driving, climate and radio controls. I don’t need anything more.

Don’t even get me started on all the assist features. I’m driving. I’ll handle the wheel, thanks.

Definitely interested. Would love to take an early peek.

I think there’s a couple of Bond villains with similar setups. Not sure how I feel about that, but felt it was worth mentioning.
