EVE General Discussion

Funny.

So anyone know what the current status is? the reboot happened almost an hour ago yes?

Thanks for trying to keep folk posted.

I would have never asked this question before as, even with the bugs, the cluster stayed up.
Now, odyssey has brought back some old bugs and introduced new ones. I thought we had gotten past this point where we don't fully check things on singularity before even giving a date of release, or at least getting a patch ready before even releasing it. I say patch as most others here wouldn't know what I mean when I say a .diff file, pertaining to code. You wouldn't patch on the client if you discovered the bug before releasing odyssey; or, would you? Just patch the code with a .diff before they download, before releasing.

But yes, before the last perceived at roughly Ten downtimes, I would not have asked

In all seriousness, why don't you make checks for packet level filtering where only the language YOU invented is allowed through, to talk between the cluster and client. Make a checksum for your language that will always come out with a divisible md5 hash, or w/e algorithm. If they do get by standard tcp checks that you should have for ACK, SYN, FIN, RST, etc usage and abuse, they can never mimic the algorithm you have chosen.

It has to be an algorithm to check for UDP packets; I have never sniffed any packets from eve but now you have gotten me doing it.

If you want someone to help you with a true unix firewall, you have my info. As a side note, you can also use your own blend of vpn for the client where ONLY the client can initiate, using hard coded encryption key in the binary, and kill all other connections that don't start encryption within so many seconds after connection.

You would have to use compression, to allow dialup to keep connecting though.

I have been on since 2006 and this is not usual chill out :)

copypaste typos for the win:


looks like the servers have been down a loooooooooooong time XD.

Probably cause someone was ******* with something when they shouldn't have been. Someone in the networking department is getting reemed.

I bet CCP. HF's daughter tried to give the server milk again.

I have a cousin who tried to feed his families VCR toast when he was little.

Taking a 4hr and 59min shower is bad.

Suck my ****, I will *** down your throat when the game is back up.

sounds like someone that couldn't make it in the eve community anyway
