| 2024-08-02 18:47 | Hiror | u can always make a quick python script to update some remote copy after mtime changes |
| 2024-08-02 18:47 | Blur | I'm tintin++, so my sync only needs to happen at session start and session end. I also use sqlite for some stuff, mainly alleg tracking. I also have a discord bot that I feed my own chat captures/tells. |
| 2024-08-02 18:47 | Hiror | i use libsqld for a few things personally between machines.. one copy can sqlite the file direct, another can use the port via python |
| 2024-08-02 18:46 | Hiror | so u can do a few things, sqldiff to copy over the changes from before/after |
| 2024-08-02 18:46 | Squarepants | The easy solution is probably just to keep the sqlite database file on OneDrive |
| 2024-08-02 18:46 | Squarepants | Yeah I use sqlite now, but I play quite often on my Macbook and I'd like my databases to be in sync between them both |
| 2024-08-02 18:45 | Alrin | So'k, i changed it to Hunter3 so no one else would know |
| 2024-08-02 18:45 | Hiror | i use sqlite in mudlet myself.. i have persist data in a table which sotres into sqlite, and loads on startup |
| 2024-08-02 18:45 | Blur | hey! you're not supposed to know my password is hunter2 |
| 2024-08-02 18:45 | Eglarion | but it's a 30 year old 32 bit c source, it might be painful to modernise in some areas |
| 2024-08-02 18:45 | Alrin | I use Blur's private github to know what he's sync'ing |
| 2024-08-02 18:45 | Squarepants | but it was an interesitng challenge. I have been able to query the API via Mudlet and return data into mudlet tables |
| 2024-08-02 18:44 | Blur | I use a private github project to keep my stuff in sync |
| 2024-08-02 18:44 | Squarepants | it may just be easier to keep my sqlite databases on onedrive, tbh |
| 2024-08-02 18:44 | Hiror | yeah theres so many ways |
| 2024-08-02 18:44 | Eglarion | it was intended to be written, diku is the engine rather than the game |
| 2024-08-02 18:44 | Alrin | I think pulse rewrote a good chunk of the code base 15ish years ago |
| 2024-08-02 18:44 | Squarepants | My real goal is to keep data in sync across multiple machiens I play on |
| 2024-08-02 18:44 | Eglarion | help diki and credits ahd whatever else the original danish ip required |
| 2024-08-02 18:44 | Squarepants | I may end up just storing the 'master' data there, and on profile load, pull a local copy down, and work from the local copy, but any inserts would simultaneously go to local copy and cloud |
| 2024-08-02 18:43 | Eglarion | so long as they include help diki and don't try to commercialise it like, say, aardwolf, it's technically a diku mud |
| 2024-08-02 18:43 | Squarepants | I was getting pretty quick call backs from it, but due to the limitations of how Mudlet provides the data in the response packet from the POST, it's not working out exactly how I hoped. |
| 2024-08-02 18:43 | Hiror | hrm is REST a good option for your system? i mean isnt HTTP a pretty big overhead |
| 2024-08-02 18:43 | Blur | I recognize a lot of diku mud stuff, as it's common across a lot of diku muds, but also, this mud is FAR from the diku code base, including how combat works, spells dmg, affects, quests |
| 2024-08-02 18:43 | Quickblade | Yeah, well I checked my email all by myself! |
| 2024-08-02 18:42 | Squarepants | Meanwhile I've been working on converting my databases to Mongo Atlas cloud-based databases and using REST API calls to store everything to bring me into the modern era! |
| 2024-08-02 18:42 | Hiror | well i was just personally annoyed because i expected to be able to get a locker after leveling a char abunch and thne boom i couldnt :P was my first time learning about it |
| 2024-08-02 18:41 | Eglarion | that'd upset people more than the cap |
| 2024-08-02 18:41 | Alrin | i do know if it's misconfigured; it will crash the mud repeatedly |
| 2024-08-02 18:41 | Eglarion | imagine they don't want to deal with the danger of losing current locker contents |
| 2024-08-02 18:41 | Squarepants | Diku is still a codebase designed 30-35 years ago and has some limitations no matter how much duct tape and new bells and whistles they've strapped on |
| 2024-08-02 18:41 | Blur | technical debt equals "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" |
| 2024-08-02 18:41 | Alrin | Or that no one wants to fight with b/c the original implementor is busy and would know how to change it best :p |
| 2024-08-02 18:41 | Hiror | so old code that nobody wants to touch and ruin.. |
| 2024-08-02 18:41 | Eglarion | blame the newest player imo |
| 2024-08-02 18:40 | Hiror | gotcha |
| 2024-08-02 18:40 | Alrin | it's more technical limitations with the solution implementation from what i understand |
| 2024-08-02 18:40 | Eglarion | it's all lupee's fault |
| 2024-08-02 18:40 | Hiror | lockers for gold/renew makes sense to me, but... to limit the amount avail on top of the gold cost im confused :P |
| 2024-08-02 18:39 | Quickblade | Im taking advantage of the melee boon to lvl this guy wlse Id come to lord |
| 2024-08-02 18:39 | Zaffer | Anyways, off to do other things here for a little bit too! |
| 2024-08-02 18:39 | Obiwan | Lord xp fol me @2e |
| 2024-08-02 18:39 | Thiazi | yes. and getting kiddo ready for soccer. not able to sit in front of a PC solid for 15 min |
| 2024-08-02 18:38 | Zaffer | Saturday morning for him ;) |
| 2024-08-02 18:38 | Geode | you're on now though :) |
| 2024-08-02 18:38 | Thiazi | <-wizfern/syndran |
| 2024-08-02 18:38 | Thiazi | yes geode |
| 2024-08-02 18:37 | Geode | oh Australian Eastern Standard Time ? |
| 2024-08-02 18:37 | Zaffer | It was also added a time when there were a lot more active players, and a lot fewer alts per player. And no Alleg that would contribute to hoarding junk. Also, no mday. |
| 2024-08-02 18:37 | Thiazi | pretty much yes |
| 2024-08-02 18:37 | Eglarion | we see you coming and leave! |
| 2024-08-02 18:37 | Thiazi | i have some time around 8pm my time and the muds dead |
| 2024-08-02 18:36 | Thiazi | gmt +10 |
| 2024-08-02 18:36 | Geode | Thiazi what's your timezone? |
| 2024-08-02 18:36 | Zaffer | Lockers were added in like 2003. I'd imagine database performance and the actual hardware that was in Snikt's basement when they were developed were quite different. |
| 2024-08-02 18:35 | Thiazi | yeh when i call for lord groups theres maybe 2 people active.. that doesnt work.. i tried |
| 2024-08-02 18:35 | Geode | you can also convert leadership points to QP, and you can gain leadership points by leading lord groups |
| 2024-08-02 18:35 | Thiazi | about 1/6th the qp runs for the time i have been playing. |
| 2024-08-02 18:34 | Eglarion | given the number of token runs you've been on at lord etc, how have you managed to not accumulate 1500 qp in years? |
| 2024-08-02 18:34 | Thiazi | well thats me out. never had and prob never will have 1500 qp :P |
| 2024-08-02 18:34 | Geode | if it comes without limits - it might be worth it. just use that one for all your alts |
| 2024-08-02 18:34 | Mostly | i'll make 10 alts for you for that |
| 2024-08-02 18:33 | Alrin | New qp-catalog option -> eternal locker for 1500 qps |
| 2024-08-02 18:33 | Geode | I like the idea of NFT lockers. you don't actually own the locker, but you have a special token that is yours that links to the locker - that may or may not be there. brilliant. 50qp for an NFT locker! |
| 2024-08-02 18:31 | Mager | Squarepants, if the bottleneck for lockers is disk space - that would be laughable imo |
| 2024-08-02 18:30 | Quickblade | indeed |
| 2024-08-02 18:30 | Thiazi | i would spring for a pair of WD 20tb for a raid on the box if it meant i got lockers that didnt expire (and the contents of 15 lockers that expired while i was jailed) |
| 2024-08-02 18:30 | Eglarion | make alrin hold your stuff on alts. Invest in minions. |
| 2024-08-02 18:30 | Squarepants | Considering that you're playing a game for free that's financed by people out of the good of their heart and developed by people who make no money off of it, you probably shouldn't bring cost into the equation whatsoever. |
| 2024-08-02 18:30 | Transient | Invest in my NFT solution for lockers |
| 2024-08-02 18:29 | Someone | someone will invest -- surely |
| 2024-08-02 18:29 | Thiazi | *pulls an article from 2014* A Terabyte of Storage Space: How Much is Too Much? |
| 2024-08-02 18:29 | Mager | Then all the items would be below that |
| 2024-08-02 18:29 | Someone | we can make a locker LLM! |
| 2024-08-02 18:29 | Mager | You're right, it would require 1 piece of text in the pfile to say LOCKER |
| 2024-08-02 18:29 | Squarepants | You don't actually know that, Mager. |
| 2024-08-02 18:29 | Mostly | just ask imms to grant everyone a hero 1 gia war as a free locker |
| 2024-08-02 18:29 | Mager | The answer is 0 |
| 2024-08-02 18:28 | Mager | Jams, the real question is, how much more space would it take to store it in a locker than a pfile? |
| 2024-08-02 18:28 | Mager | Probably a whole dollar |
| 2024-08-02 18:28 | Thiazi | at least 20 cents worth of drive |
| 2024-08-02 18:28 | Jams | do you know how many kilobytes of disk space unlimited lockers would consume? |
| 2024-08-02 18:27 | Someone | ya i just logged every half month during my break to renew mine :P |
| 2024-08-02 18:26 | Squarepants | Just wish I could renew them whenever, and just be locked out from the items until I renew |
| 2024-08-02 18:26 | Squarepants | I don't use lockers because I'd always forget to renew them |
| 2024-08-02 18:26 | Seth | So I'm really mad |
| 2024-08-02 18:26 | Seth | If they are supposed to be scarce, 1 per altlist, whatever - but I've never gotten one and someone just told me they just got several the other day :p |
| 2024-08-02 18:25 | Seth | Lets make lockers, make them semi useless for most people, then when you suggest they just make them unlimited, you just get suggested "It's easy to make a warrior alt, do that" |
| 2024-08-02 18:24 | Essel | lets create a quest where you have to hoard large amounts of items for said quest, and then make it so you have no where to put it |
| 2024-08-02 18:24 | Seth | We running out of storage space? Come on |
| 2024-08-02 18:24 | Seth | The problem, is why not infinite lockers, 1 per char? |
| 2024-08-02 18:23 | Essel | i think a bigger problem than the afkers is lockers having limits and costs... |
| 2024-08-02 18:22 | Seth | Any invis imms out there, any chance we can make lockers work for everyone one day? |
| 2024-08-02 18:21 | Emperor | oh you're a chef |
| 2024-08-02 18:21 | Squarepants | seamen |
| 2024-08-02 18:21 | Emperor | what'd you serve |
| 2024-08-02 18:18 | Squarepants | I guess I'll have to teach him how to drive one of the new fancy submarines they're getting, since I served on one. |
| 2024-08-02 18:17 | Geode | there ya go.. UK poking at the aussies |
| 2024-08-02 18:17 | Squarepants | Could have stopped at "not human" |
| 2024-08-02 18:17 | Eglarion | good example of somebody with criminal ancestry :P |
