I swear Thor had a short about downplaying ourself

But that doesnt have trains

Yeah, it's smart. I just watch a lot of things with property maitence, dirtworks, etc

#

but even then, he's gotten people who stop by even knowing he can resupply the army with pew pews

okay so images are rgb right

#

then there's transparency

i missed the end of the hype train cause i had to work what level did it get too?

which is the "alpha channel"

#

so rgba

zealous frost
# serene plinth i missed the end of the hype train cause i had to work what level did it get too...

The Birthday GIGATRAIN has ended at level 65 - 88% with a SECOND HypeTrain on the FerretSoftware channel hitting level 30 - 43% at the same time. Together these totaled 13,700 Subs and 2,172,515 Bits.

I can't believe the insanely awesome community this has become. You may say I

serene valley
#

the alpha channel seems to not be honored / set to not be transparent

#

which is a bug

weak bolt
serene valley
#

yeah

mental siren
serene valley
#

anyway yeah he's going for 24 hours

zealous frost
#

i'm dieing, I still had the amazon page for mane and tail open and then I saw this

#

And i can't help but want to add that to the box when i send the shampoo to the po box

#

(the company is actually really good, along with the product, and I figure Thor might appreciate not sending money to P&G if he can help it. They are kind of the Indie mfg in the shampoo isle )

serene valley
#

so I'm wondering

#

does the tts go to debt from the hypetrain

#

since it's like an ungodly amount of tts to actually go through

zealous frost
#

yes

#

he's got 9 more hours to kill it

anyone know the current tts queue amount?

serene valley
#

thor just mentioned theres 500 messages in queue

mental siren
#

Wait he's getting through them that fast?

hollow cairn
#

How did Thor get back to no man's sky? It's nice

serene valley
#

there was an update

hollow cairn
#

He gave the game another chance I see

serene valley
#

and chat voted on it

#

I mean

#

he already got pretty far in it from the looks of it

#

so it's more like "continued playing it"

#

I think he discovered a new species earlier? not sure

#

also idk if that means since he named it, it's named that for everyone

hollow cairn
#

Oh I see fell asleep on the game picking part

#

I think for April if we actually want to beat the record we need to go slow early on so word can get out that a record train is going, I think we went too fast and the public didnโ€™t have time to jump in

serene valley
#

or we just save up a ton of money to throw

round edge
#

We had half as many people as the 106 run

summer night
#

well its more that it only started getting round about 3 days ago and in april we started prep 2 weeks before

serene valley
#

I think

summer night
#

dont get me wrong i wanted the record but i was thinking with so little time and it being thors birthday we were split

round edge
#

50000 people randomly throwing a sub or a hundred bits just to be a part of history adds up, slow play is the best play

summer night
# round edge 50000 people randomly throwing a sub or a hundred bits just to be a part of hist...

don't get me wrong I agree a slow pace word of mouth but the community got a bad rep because some where jumping into other chats to advertise. Some people got a little annoyed if I remember correctly and the mods got involved and started identifying people if they were being annoying it other chats. I saw it in Ironmouse's chat with her doing a sponsored stream and having to stop and say something around ""I know chatter, I'm good friends with Thor super happy for him but I'm doing this thing so please stop spamming"" . But yeah I think best possibly chance. at least 3 weeks notice and a slow pace, also i think if chat didn't try to bring the train back from the death we might have gotten more in the train which we saw at the end with 200+ subs added because goblins tried it

#

but still a good attempt

wintry meteor
#

in april they had already nerfed bits iirc, but subs were still $5. can't really compare

#

and it's true that promoting something like this in other streams' chat can be troublesome because a lot of people only watch one stream at a time and you don't want to telllpeople to leave/skip that one for thor's

#

otoh some streamers I know are big fans and brought their entire viewership in on the gigatrain haha.

He had been mentioning for multiple days beforehand that this one would be a 24 hour stream

Gonna be honest.

It often shocks me just how little a lot of this community seems to pay attention.

No, just mutant

His body straight up does not require more than 5 hours of sleep per day.

He can apparently last a full 36 hours before he reaaaally needs sleep and can't continue

Yeah it's all pretty dumb. I wish they'd change this... it's a pointless limitation, there are videos on youtube longer than that

#

As it is, your best bet is to grab the video from twitch before it's deleted off there

#

(if you pass --download-sections "*11:55:00-inf" then you can get only the part that won't be saved by youtube, saving you some time and space, heh)

here small tip. ya wanna link the .gif image, instead of the page. Discord can handle that and transform it to the actual gif.
Just right click the gif, and select "Copy Image URL

Youd then have
https://media1.tenor.com/m/vMvR0gEolCEAAAAC/nothing-to-see-here-explosion.gif
Which turns into

CrowdStrike said they released fix

you'd still need to boot into safe mode and delete/rename the offending sys file I assume

multiply that by the amount of clients you have

i don't think there's any way around that

cerulean lintel

@coral flame How big an org are you and was it all manual?

cerulean lintel
#

Of course it wasn't just one issue it was multiple

  1. Build obviously breaks integrations
  2. Deploy to all systems at once
  3. Ignore user update preferences* (If the above comment about staging is true)

Then the bug essentially bricks the PC so automatic rollbacks don't work

coral flame
# crystal yacht <@201788448959496193> How big an org are you and was it all manual?

We have basically no Windows machines, about 40.
Only few were affected and needed the fix, rest already had a new software on them so they never died.

Honestly worst part was waking up to a massive WTF and trying to understand what's happening.
After that it was a small issue.

If something like this would affect ChromeOS or MacOS we would have been f****

I wonder if it would be better or worse if this affected linux instead

Because I would've though majority of servers are linux, but it seems there is still a lot of critical infastructure on windows or at least relying on windows down the chain

coral flame
#

Worse I think

crystal yacht

Active Directory infrastructure is still the bedrock of so many orgs from an identity standpoint

#

In my company 4 dev machines would die and 100% of servers.

Out of all our 3rd party providers only 2 are affected (probably can't tell you who)
That means 99% of them run on linux.

novel helm
woeful geyser
#

the best the OS can do is create system restore snapshots, i think? and it's a tad unreasonable to have them automatically generate one for every time a third party driver is installed CB_pika_think

vague palm
#

It's not unreasonable at all since installing drivers is something you do once in a blue moon

crystal yacht
vague palm
#

Well, yeah, my point is if a restore point had been created it could be rolled back to

cerulean lintel
#

The problem is creating a restore point right before the driver update AND automatically triggering a rollback if a success condition isn't met

#

A restore is still no good if you have no access to the system

woeful geyser
#

iirc if you hit a bluescreen twice in a row the system defaults to recovery mode with the option to roll back to a snapshot

vague palm
#

Yeah, Windows is pretty good at this generally speaking. And indeed, booting into recovery mode is how you solve this problem

runic harbor
#

A little late I know cuz it took me a second to set up but I'll be damned. Global Agenda anyone? Runs great on proton too!

woeful geyser
#

i'm actually curious if crowdstrike's update process could've polled the operating system to create a restore snapshot CB_pika_think

#

though that likely would've just caused a loop of install faulty update -> restore -> repeat

runic harbor
#

I'm kinda curious why, if they handle critical infrastructure, they don't have deployment tiers / rungs (lack of testing aside...)

cerulean lintel
#

Yeah I have no clue if that's possible I don't work with driver updates myself. But you'd think if it's that simple it'd be possible

#

But it's also still trusting crowdstrike to follow that process if so

woeful geyser
#

i mean if it's possible it'd also increase the complexity of the update procedure, needing a way to figure out if the update caused a restore to be required and thus not trying the update again

I wonder if a system can be made, if a high-level player kills a lower level player they get no benefit and no lost to the lower lvl

#

Or the high lvl gets a debuff if they kill a player x amout of lvls under them

serene valley
#

like scale the rewards based on the level diff?

#

so big diff you get next to nothing

#

but if closer (or even higher level) you get the full reward

#

idk what the reward is for pks

#

is it just the resources the player has collected?

#

could just make it so if you as a high level player kill a very lower level player, 90% of the resources disappear

#

and if you as a low level player kill a high level player, you get 120% of the dropped resources

#

or something like that

#

then again maybe this can be abused to farm...

#

maybe no buff for kills of higher level

foggy plover
#

Was just gonna say that. Definitely exploitable

serene valley
#

just debuffing drops if you kill a low level, not abusable

#

but buffing drops is abusable

foggy plover
#

Yes the 120% part

serene valley
#

you'd have to tag the "extra" drops with like vanishing

#

so if you die with those in your inv, just don't count them for drops

#

then it wouldn't be abusable

#

like, on death -> remove the "extra drops" -> calculate the 120% off of the rest

#

then it's not abusable

#

then again idk how exactly blockgame works

ripe sage

insane how the only reason why people are crying about Once Human is because it is owned by a chinese company

#

sigh But yeah, this is a familiar runaround. Happens every time...

serene valley
#

like as a EU citizen... the US spies on us as much as china probably

#

not even to get political about it, I just don't think there's much of a difference between the two

I guess because the US more aligns with the values we hold here we don't mind it as much

Almost a year ago, due to hackers, a big hospital in germany had to take their whole IT offline for almost half a year. A lot of them, especially accounting can't work anymore because the software is entirely outsourced in cloud structure (SAP, etc.). They can't charge their patients for months causing a big loss of money and the management don't care at all.

I think a lot of them won't change much due to the crowdstrike issue. At least in Germany.

# marsh forge uuuuhhhh, german here... The most a hospital charges is 10โ‚ฌ per day for food. Mo...

sry, but that's bs. 10โ‚ฌ is your additional charge as a normal patient. The major charge goes to the insurance. If you have a private insurance, they can charge up to factor 10 (depending on the insurance). They also have a ton of private patients from other countries paying thousands and thousands of โ‚ฌ for experimental stuff on their own. If you don't charge them in time and they left the country, have fun getting any of it. Privacy policy makes it even harder since 2016/2017.
I have some contact there and they lost about half a million due to this. and this amount is the private ones only ๐Ÿ˜‰

The issue with game companies, or any company for that matter, is that they do whatever they want and there are still people who buy from them. Take Ubisoft, prime example. I hate the way Ubisoft has treated its playerbase in the past, so I dont buy Ubisoft games. If enough people don't play their games, Ubisoft either changes its ways or dies out and another company takes its place.

Doesn't matter if its a big company, a local business, a neighbor, a personal relationship, none of them can do anything to you that you dont allow them to. You will always have the option of cutting ties and not dealing with them.

the issue with voting with a wallet is you have too many people who dont care

The government mandate could just be that if at end of life release patch that allow offline play

Even for games that were never designed for offline play?

Yeah, I get where Thor's coming from with the paraphrased "Do you actually think government lawmaking will actually work?" take, but I honestly don't know any other effective way of enacting industry-wide change.

If you let the government mandate one thing in an industry, they mandate everything and screw the industry since they dont have any understanding of what they are mandating.

Asking the government to regulate is asking for more corporate interference with politics. We live in a corporatocracy.

It's a difficult problem ... perhaps we aren't asking the right questions.

#

Maybe we need to ask about the predatory monetization practices within live service games getting people to invest large sums of money ... leading them to feel that they are now locked into a game long past it's usefulness/lifespan.

So, how much of a gameโ€™s content needs to be online in order to dodge the regulation?

north python
#

The idea of regulating intellectual property in games ould set a precedent for that to bleed into other genres/industry. That would be bad for artists accross the board.

I guess so, I think I'd prefer the proverbial genie out of the bottle it can be examined

#

Thats the rub isnt it? Who determines that? And does it honestly?

#

Mad Max had an online element that stopped working when WB shut down the game servers. That element could have been patched before shutdown. Now you have people sharing saves from before the servers were shut down so that new players can get all of the achievements
