| mircea_popescu: | earthquake knocked me offline, who's as cool as that! | [11:43] |
| diana_coman: | don't sit on earthquakes! | [11:43] |
| mircea_popescu: | diana_coman this is nuts btw : a) i logged in as "someone else" scrunched in a corner by the house wall with danielpbarron 's table next to me ; b) i KEEP MOVING around, perhaps according to someone's mining ? whi c) ISNT EVEN THERE!!! | [11:43] |
| mircea_popescu: | but the worst part is d) my table with the slag is disappeared. how the fuck, i was right there by it (as proven that my toon, which i can see, is exactly where i left it) | [11:44] |
| diana_coman: | client "infers" movement of others | [11:44] |
| mircea_popescu: | took me all the way to the sea lmao | [11:44] |
| diana_coman: | nuts | [11:44] |
| mircea_popescu: | hard to believe what a shitty client this is. | [11:45] |
| diana_coman: | tbh I ponder sending only self-actor to client for first 3 minutes or something | [11:45] |
| diana_coman: | because this is insane already | [11:45] |
| mircea_popescu: | aghagahga now that i'm back by the houses, it's back to sliding me around | [11:46] |
| Mocky: | that's happened to me a couple times, i avoid logging off in town since then for that reason | [11:46] |
| mircea_popescu: | what, it "infers" the movement of who the fuck, digging through the houses | [11:46] |
| diana_coman: | someone might have left the bot going like that, I think Birdman2 did it several times | [11:46] |
| mircea_popescu: | diana_coman anbd there's a table away from danielpbarron which he guards nevertheless... | [11:46] |
| diana_coman: | other than that, "inference" a la client works like this: server sends X moves that way with that speed | [11:47] |
| diana_coman: | client then keep moving it that way until/unless server says "x stopped" | [11:47] |
| diana_coman: | and if X turns, then again, keeps turning | [11:47] |
| mircea_popescu: | heh. | [11:47] |
| mircea_popescu: | we fucking need a nerw client already. | [11:47] |
| diana_coman: | the moving in circle is another client artefact but I never really dug into it as to when | [11:47] |
| diana_coman: | yes, a new client is loong overdue | [11:48] |
| diana_coman: | re danielpbarron's table ...depends how far away or whether you are seeing a ghost and so on | [11:48] |
| mircea_popescu: | basically Birdman2 did what we all know and love him for, ie, started botmining EXACTLY IN THE FUCKING TOWN | [11:48] |
| mircea_popescu: | and fucked everyone's shitty clients in the process ? | [11:48] |
| diana_coman: | no idea, but ...possible | [11:49] |
| diana_coman: | and yes, I do same as Mocky : log out a bit away from town | [11:49] |
| mircea_popescu: | but i had not logged off! | [11:50] |
| diana_coman: | heh, do it now :P | [11:50] |
| mircea_popescu: | i just did | [11:50] |
| mircea_popescu: | anyway, how could my table have disappeaed ?! | [11:50] |
| diana_coman: | has it? | [11:50] |
| mircea_popescu: | because it's fucking gone. 10k slag with it too. | [11:50] |
| mircea_popescu: | yes. | [11:50] |
| diana_coman: | ugh; did it log off/in again? | [11:51] |
| diana_coman: | or just dropped off and that was it? | [11:51] |
| mircea_popescu: | sorry ? | [11:51] |
| diana_coman: | you got disconnected while next to table; then when you logged back in table was gone; nothing between those? | [11:51] |
| mircea_popescu: | i went to bed yesterday, table by my feet. i woke up today, table by my feet. there was an earthquake (irl, in costa rica) which knocked me offline briefly till radio kicked in. and then i logged in to discover | [11:51] |
| mircea_popescu: | a) i'm fucking a wall ; b) mp is still where i left him, but table not. | [11:52] |
| mircea_popescu: | making it look exactly like there was an earthquake in eulora too! | [11:52] |
| diana_coman: | sounds too weird, I'll have a look | [11:52] |
| diana_coman: | fucking walls might do it :P | [11:52] |
| mircea_popescu: | but in any case it ~just~ happened. | [11:53] |
| Mocky: | it happened to me before that when i logged in and client thought i was daniel barron, my table was gone but showed up again after i relogged and client said I was me again | [11:53] |
| diana_coman: | mircea_popescu, are you logged in now as Mircescu? | [11:54] |
| mircea_popescu: | diana_coman yes i am. | [11:55] |
| mircea_popescu: | diana_coman trading | [11:56] |
| diana_coman: | I was just testing it's not a ghost, it's ok; when you logged back in as Mircescu did it put you back where table used to be or away from that? | [11:56] |
| mircea_popescu: | put me where Birdman2 is fucking the wall atm | [11:57] |
| mircea_popescu: | but i could see mircescu and he was in the right spot. | [11:57] |
| diana_coman: | ugh | [11:57] |
| mircea_popescu: | well look : i relogged a few times into the same situation, eventually moved away and relogged there as me. | [11:58] |
| mircea_popescu: | what can i do ? it's not like it self-cures, this idiocy. | [11:58] |
| diana_coman: | yes, that part is clear enough but I don't get when/how the table vanished | [11:58] |
| diana_coman: | because basically you were next to it all the time from what you say | [11:58] |
| diana_coman: | the only time your toon was away was after the table was gone anyway | [11:58] |
| mircea_popescu: | in between 9:43 when it was there and 9:45 when i came back online. | [11:58] |
| mircea_popescu: | yes. | [11:59] |
| diana_coman: | just going offline doesn't interrupt guard | [11:59] |
| mircea_popescu: | what can i say. | [11:59] |
| diana_coman: | wait what, at 9:43 it was there; at 9:45 it was gone and the things in it gone too AND not even on the ground?? | [11:59] |
| Mocky: | maybe the walk down by the sea | [11:59] |
| mircea_popescu: | YES! | [12:00] |
| diana_coman: | uhmmm | [12:00] |
| mircea_popescu: | Mocky it's supposed to be two pass in any case, first the table then the contents. | [12:00] |
| Mocky: | ahh | [12:01] |
| mircea_popescu: | which'd mean hour+ | [12:01] |
| diana_coman: | yes, first pass table may vanish, but contents get thrown on the grass around where table was | [12:02] |
| diana_coman: | so this is triple-weird | [12:02] |
| Mocky: | hahhaha, just got the first spam comment on my blog. thing didn't even put the right values in the right fields. and I don't even have trickily named form fields | [12:22] |
| mircea_popescu: | lol | [12:29] |
| Mocky: | " There are terrific tools (like PGP and GPG) for encrypting your mail. If somebody along the way looks at the mail they can't understand it. But they do know you are sending encrypted mail to your pal. | [12:29] |
| Mocky: | The answer: encode your message into something innocent looking." ie spam! | [12:29] |
| mircea_popescu: | ikr! | [12:31] |
| Mocky: | "This site gives you access to a program that will encrypt a short message into spam. Basically, the sentences it outputs vary depending on the message you are encoding" | [12:31] |
| diana_coman: | ahahaha | [12:32] |
| diana_coman: | congrats to Mocky on targeted spam; my spams are for some reason of the "you're awesome/ your blog is cool" sort | [12:33] |
