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.

i can see your point. i for example did buy from amazon once so far this year. it was because the product I needed was expensive and part of a business calculation where i dont have the luxury to waste money.

however, I bought more than a hundred smaller products off of local sellers which are more expensive but i was able to afford it.

thats all I’m asking. that folks make a concious effort to prefer local sellers if they can, not some one dimensional exclusivity that will not work anyway.

My stance is that most people have poor reading comprehension. Thanks for making my point.

I said „without necessity“. Having no other comparable options qualifies as necessity in my book.

Activism is great but the moment people shun others for not ruining themselves for the cause they become radicals.

So no, thats not my stance.

And no, I havent been born privileged in the typical western way. But I have the privilege of being pretty smart which enabled me to escape the prison of an uneducated, violent household.

And yes, I hold people accountable for not giving a shit about others. Deal with it.

And more condescension. Its as if more of the same thing will do different things.

Maybe add some racism or climate denial to the mix. Just for some seasoning.

You have exactly the attitude of someone able to work for a monster like amazon. Unnecessary aggressive and condescending.

Thanks for making my point.

I think people working at amazon and shopping at amazon, both without clear necessity, are part of the problem.

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.

E3 1220v3 3.5 ghz

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

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 :)

glad you’re posting still. stopkillinggames is one of the most influencial campaigns for some time I believe.

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.
