Sad to see you go, but happy that you're doing what's right for you. I haven't really enjoyed or played the game in years now, but it's nice to have this place to check in on from time to time. Feel free to make it a big deal -- we all appreciate the effort you've put in over the years.

Similarly, I had no idea that SVS aka HellSpawn is still active after his less-than-graceful exit from our community.

Sweet! Thanks for your work in getting this up. There's a couple different background lvz in the packages I sent you, if you want to get rid of the starryness. :-P

This is the kind of topic I count on L.C. and the lounge to provide.

Or they've hacked Subgame and authenticate users separately.

It's always been like this. The fix is that after it happens to you once, you never let it happen to you again.

Executive summary: Avast is an ignoramus, Dr Brain is an elitist, Samapico is an opportunist, Xog doesn't have a million dollars, and if he did, he'd be better off spending it on himself than our sorry lot.

Spammers ... the scum of the earth.

Such as? I have to agree with Dr Brain on this one. There is a only a small window of opportunity after people develop the required skills and before they realize they can be accumulating more utility working on things other than SubSpace.

The problem with this approach is there's little chance of actually getting your self-hosted zone on SSC. Also, I'm a fan of ChunkHost.

I just finished with the SparkFun AVC so I am more likely to work on it, but still very unlikely to work on it. However, there really isn't that much to work on. The zone works. It needs management.

Mad props for still rocking the 486. If you have access to a server in another location, you could try tunneling your traffic through it to avoid the bad nodes.

This topic is about deathball, and the things that need to be fixed in the settings. Lineup is always: 4x Ship 2 (scout) 1x Ship 3 (gunner) 1x Ship 4 (deployer) Settings/ASSS fixes: - deps need to be able to mine - you should be able to shoot, die, and still score (I think this is the same problem as dying in the goal and not scoring) - greens don't always give full health - spawn radius needs to be decreased slightly so you don't spawn outside of base - arena needs to be locked to prevent shipchanging

I actually had the zone up and running as SSL Metal Gear CTF on Lynx's server a few weeks ago. Then it went down and I never bothered to bring it back up. What is really needed is a person who is dedicated enough to see the management and coordination side of this through. I'm willing to help out technically with setting up and configuring the Subgame zone, but right now I don't have the time and energy to take the overall lead.

At this point I think we're just getting trolled for Wikipedia hits on Intel processor articles.

I got my money back, either $1k or $10k, I forget. The dude who ran it brought the bot online briefly one time, and I quickly withdrew my precious HSD.

Things pretty much went according to plan. Those 9 days went well and I got my degree. After that I took a multi-month road trip to Alaska, stopping in New York along the way. Lazed around at my mom's house for a while, and started work in the robotics research section of JPL a little over a year ago, where I've been since.

More like creepin along.

As an update on this, I found an offer from ChunkHost to get a free 512MB RAM VPS for a month, so that postpones this question for a little bit, to when I'll likely have forgotten all about wanting a VPS. They seem fairly legit, though I did use a Visa gift card for their location verification.

When I talk to myself I refer to myself as "you."

All of the above, I guess. My living room server, though very trustworthy, is a bit of a power hog and doesn't have a dedicated IP. It's so old (dual Pentium III 750 MHz, 512MB DDR RAM) that I could easily buy a netbook that outperforms it, but for that price I could buy several years of a budget VPS. I want root access and the power to break and fix things. One of the better deals I've found is $4.55/month (when you sign up for 12 months) for the following specs: Disk space: 50GB Guaranteed/Burstable RAM: 512/2028MB IP Addresses: 2 Bandwidth: 1000GB/month Seems like an incredible deal, but I'm a little skeptical about how long these VPS providers actually stay in business.

Anyone have experience with truly low-end virtual private servers? I know we have some linode users here, which is about as cheap as it seems to get for reputable hosts ($20/month). There seem to be VPSs available for about $5/month, but they don't seem to be as professionally run. The site "Low End Box" lists a lot of them. I'm thinking about springing for one, just wondering if anyone has any advice.

Okay, for real now, here's the post I made on my computer a while back. The only difference is that I've swapped out the processor for an AMD Phenom II X6 1055T that I got on some amazing deal. I've also downgraded to two monitors.

I have an IBM compatible.
