  • To be fair, that's pretty much always been what settlers are. In very few circumstances did settlers actually settled a new land, the majority of the time "settlers" invaded and stole native land.

    But yeah, call this shit what it is.

  • Lol, is Netflix any of my customers who thought moving to public cloud services was a good idea?

    I would ask why customers are so dumb about how much public cloud offerings cost, but I know it's a combination of 1) seemingly low prices up front, 2) bean counters that aren't able to accurately cost forecast long term, and 3) a fundamental understanding of just how much compute they actually need. It's absolutely stupid how many customers we have that are having to pull back on services because some genius thought moving to azure was a good financial move only to find out 6-8mo later that they've spent this year's budget already.

  • Configuration by config file is preferred but not mandatory for me, but a docker image is mandatory for me to even try the app anymore. And the ability to backup and restore state is key, preferably in such a way that I can write my backup to a mounted smb share rather than writing locally and copying to the network.

    I'm running everything on commodity or 2nd hand gear, so failures aren't unheard of. I had one of my micro PCs cook itself this year, and the majority of my services on that box fit that mold (mostly), so I got them back up pretty quick. Though, I did run into issues with container backups not working (because they write the backup like a database, so it has to be a local write for a db lock) and had to start from scratch .

  • That's the thing, you're never going to catch everything. But anything important can be sanity checked by the server when the client checks in, all without opening a vulnerability in your customers' systems.

    So much kernel level anticheat is about offloading the processing power to the customer, and unreasonable desires for control over the systems involved and overall game environment (and probably a decent amount of data mining).

  • "Butbutbutbut server side anticheat is haaaaaaard and requires us to actually think about what values are actually valid and understand our own internal game states. Kernel level anticheat lets us be lazy costs us less and requires less development time!"
