dont worry. Soon you will be able to do it again.

Indeed. But you have been f*cked from the start with your extremist 2 party system.

What part do you feel is horrible? I enjoyed playing it a lot.

I’m monitoring the cpu and ram and so far the server isnt utilizing it except short bursts which dont max out anything. i’ll try and optimize the network first and then go for performance. i suppose its a multi stage issue by now. will update on the matter.

i can see how this would be an interesting function. sadly, we’re, nowhere near an end user ready experience in any non corporate messenger. it very much still depends on how tech savvy the user and how good the admin is. until that changes I’m gonna unilaterally say no to reinventing any wheels and say fix the stuff we have before adding more functionality.

E3 1220v3 3.5 ghz

Xeon 4 core, 4 threads, 16 G DDR4 ram, onboard graphics.

Its not more open source. It is at all. Signal is dependent on the backend which is as proprietary as bluesky. You can absolutely not self host it which technically binds you to the next single point of failure.

Some use open source alternatives since signal still has the off switch to your communication. I personally use matrix for over a year and its pretty good. But its not polished so you need patience and a good admin.

Hmmm… that makes sense. I‘ll check. Thank you for the suggestion.

What happens is that I get rubberbanding (I go somewhere, build something, get set back like 30 seconds and my stuff is not built), loosing my connection like once every two hours or something. My wife plays with me and has similar issues.

The logs sometimes show „tick took longer than anticipated“ or something, which would indicate a performance issue but since the cpu and the ram arent even used properly, I assume it might be limited somehow.

Hi there! I see you‘re spitting thruth again.

I have since gone with the programme for a couple months and developed some foss software, helped make foss software and tested some foss software.

The general impression I got from it was: most of it is used without any reciprocity of any kind. The bigger projects get some donations and some also get code.

But stomping new projects out of the ground is pretty much impossible that way because you will have to invest 100s of hours to test and program. Nothing you can do in a reasonable timeframe while having a day job and a life.

So yes, I think especially for projects south of a certain size, companies should pay. Dual licensing was mentioned once. Something like agpl + commercial license if someone wants to use it closed source. I dont think it covers general profit seeking intent though.

Have a good one.

Took me a moment to recognize it. This game is far better with friends imo. Have fun :)

thats really thoughtful of you! thanks a lot. i’ll update once I have more info. :)

thanks mate! now I’m aching to get back to it because I am in bed with covid. next step is to somehow open the bootloader and pzt linux on it. if that turns out to be impossible, which I dont think it will, I’ll try to at least get some good apps on the old thing. btw I bought an identical one with 32 gigs on ebay. arrived yesterday. :)

i guess you may be right. i have a habit to dig in with hobbies. my little endeavor spans over 50 microservices, containerized, on different machines, bare metal and virtual. i also do it for a living nowadays. :) i do still have to look up stuff though.

oh, yes i did. the cable thing on the vm was about catching the device while booting for me. i connected it, ran itunes, rebooted the ipad and voila.

to be clear. the jailbreak itself wasnt really the problem for me. it was the usb connection to the windows vm that was wonky.

it cant be done is technically correct btw if we’re speaking on high level. because one needs to read up on how this stuff works line by line since nobody did make the effort to make releases for this stuff afaik.

so, maybe I’m a greybeard after 3 years of linux. who knows.

Thanks for the encouragement. I will update. Can you give me a quick dump what you did with the device so far? in case I learn anything.

i have no idea how they differ. I’ll have a look at checkmate next and see if I can exploit the bootrom. that would enable me to run linux on it.

the jailbreak I’m using is kokeshi iirc but i’m not knowledgeable enough to really talk about this yet. and yes, it is only semi tethered. i do need to find out how to open the bootloader though.
