| 2026-06-20 19:21 | Reptile | WAY too many nights, we'd basically stay there all night, no even shower - boxes of pizzas around us, and then just stumble to our first class. |
| 2026-06-20 19:21 | Boneitis | *nod nod* |
| 2026-06-20 19:21 | Reptile | from home, I would remote into the uni via a terminal program (terminate), log into the sparc, and then mud. but more often we were at uni, and would just snag an empty lab, and 4-5 of us would mud side by side from the telnet terminals. basically using the uni internet backbone to mud. |
| 2026-06-20 19:20 | Delyrium | good times |
| 2026-06-20 19:20 | Delyrium | good time |
| 2026-06-20 19:20 | Delyrium | lol nice rep |
| 2026-06-20 19:19 | Reptile | my 1st mud client was tintin running on the university sparc station that all compsci students had access to. I knew one of the admins for uni, and he had compiled tintin and dropped the binary in my homedir. |
| 2026-06-20 19:19 | Boneitis | So learned TF, and that was that. |
| 2026-06-20 19:19 | Boneitis | I started w/ zMUD on my Pentium 133 running Windows 95, but then acquired a 486 running Linux to put in my bedroom during high school. |
| 2026-06-20 19:18 | Delyrium | then when mac os went unix shifted to tintin |
| 2026-06-20 19:18 | Delyrium | i started with som e old mac only ones that arent around any more |
| 2026-06-20 19:17 | Reptile | yeah. I used to use mcl client, which had a python and perl interp built in, but it's a dead project now. I used that client on toril for probably 15+ years. So then I went back to tintint as it was my very 1st client when I started mudding back in the 20th century. |
| 2026-06-20 19:16 | Delyrium | tintin is like neo kinda hacker type muf |
| 2026-06-20 19:16 | Boneitis | and gmcp :) |
| 2026-06-20 19:15 | Boneitis | TF w/ built-in Python is very slick. |
| 2026-06-20 19:15 | Reptile | tintin isn't as advanced, but you can open a mud session to a command, and it will think it's another mud session, so then you just read/write data from that session as if it's another mud, using triggers to send data back and forth to the main mud session. |
| 2026-06-20 19:15 | Delyrium | 66 MGB |
| 2026-06-20 19:14 | Delyrium | i had an old car like that |
| 2026-06-20 19:14 | Delyrium | it's always the maintenance |
| 2026-06-20 19:14 | Boneitis | At least now that all the tables have proper indexes on them |
| 2026-06-20 19:13 | Boneitis | I use a persistent postgres connection object in Python, so it reads/writes sufficiently fast. |
| 2026-06-20 19:13 | Delyrium | when your hobby is dominant you will be more happy |
| 2026-06-20 19:12 | Delyrium | it's a battle right between the two |
| 2026-06-20 19:12 | Boneitis | I'm pretty sure that's how Ebin has things set up. Sends things to a local server that does all the db stuff. |
| 2026-06-20 19:12 | Reptile | at one point, I thought about using a message queue for logs / database events, but then when I started to research, it started to feel like a real job instead of a hobby. |
| 2026-06-20 19:11 | Delyrium | my one, my precious |
| 2026-06-20 19:10 | Tiny | geek squad talk |
| 2026-06-20 19:10 | Reptile | beep boop |
| 2026-06-20 19:10 | Reptile | all their logs are basically the same thing anyways |
| 2026-06-20 19:10 | Delyrium | are you an AI? |
| 2026-06-20 19:09 | Reptile | yeah. I turn off logging on mday for everyone except the main window (group leader) for that tmux session. |
| 2026-06-20 19:09 | Boneitis | It's partly because my foreground world does logging of channels to my db, so I don't want multiple sessions running. |
| 2026-06-20 19:08 | Boneitis | *nod nod* It's just a different a matter of preferences really. |
| 2026-06-20 19:08 | Reptile | modified.. but it's diku |
| 2026-06-20 19:08 | Reptile | this is diku |
| 2026-06-20 19:08 | Delyrium | diku wow |
| 2026-06-20 19:08 | Jaeger | and hayami does what i want :D |
| 2026-06-20 19:08 | Reptile | ah. I haven't set my tintin sessions that way. probably should have, but I'm already down the rabbit hole with how I have the sessions. |
| 2026-06-20 19:08 | Jaeger | i just basically do /oth command |
| 2026-06-20 19:08 | Boneitis | And aliases like g1 to send all to diku.group1 worlds |
| 2026-06-20 19:07 | Boneitis | So I have diku.group1, diku.group2, etc. |
| 2026-06-20 19:07 | Jaeger | because my heroes dont need to level |
| 2026-06-20 19:07 | Jaeger | and like, i never do mday on hero |
| 2026-06-20 19:07 | Boneitis | TF has an option to have basically set world types, and then aliases/triggers that are bound to specific world types. |
| 2026-06-20 19:07 | Jaeger | correct, which is why i only run one group ;) |
| 2026-06-20 19:07 | Reptile | doing a send all, one command makes sense for one group might not make sense for the other group |
| 2026-06-20 19:07 | Jaeger | i cant handle multiple groups |
| 2026-06-20 19:06 | Reptile | I like having different sessions for each group / tier |
| 2026-06-20 19:06 | Delyrium | i blame capitalism |
| 2026-06-20 19:06 | Jaeger | <-- |
| 2026-06-20 19:06 | Zaffer | When my internet was down for a week. |
| 2026-06-20 19:06 | Zaffer | It's more that I have multiple VM / containers for other people to run their TF stuff on. You may have noticed their absence at the same time as me ;) |
| 2026-06-20 19:06 | Jaeger | sometimes the sors dont cast :P |
| 2026-06-20 19:05 | Jaeger | only thing i find that gets wonky with that Z is aoe/single spell |
| 2026-06-20 19:05 | Jaeger | ^zaffer |
| 2026-06-20 19:05 | Zaffer | I don't even do that... I just use a single TF session to control all my alts. |
| 2026-06-20 19:02 | Reptile | multiday vms? weird. I just run multiple tmux sessions for each group, with windows for each char. |
| 2026-06-20 17:17 | Eglarion | I was thinking about it for multiday vms heh |
| 2026-06-20 17:16 | Zaffer | Mostly the failover cluster. Though the offsite one has a much lower latency to Av (9 ms vs. 39 ms), so who knows what I'll end up doing there. |
| 2026-06-20 17:11 | Eglarion | or he just wants a failover cluster for his mud vms |
| 2026-06-20 17:11 | Delyrium | you cant trick me, i know how these things work |
| 2026-06-20 17:10 | Delyrium | enabling terrorists and tax evaders i see |
| 2026-06-20 17:10 | Zaffer | They're running at ~100 MB/s right now |
| 2026-06-20 17:10 | Zaffer | But have the Proxmox Backup Server and the daily jobs working properly. |
| 2026-06-20 17:09 | Zaffer | Well, just need to get the firewall rules set up in opnsense to mimic the ones that I have at home to allow for port forwarding and such. |
| 2026-06-20 17:09 | Delyrium | you keep your bare metal to yourself |
| 2026-06-20 17:09 | Zaffer | In the event of a network failure at my house, I'll at least have the option to restore all the VM/containers on an offsite backup :) |
| 2026-06-20 17:08 | Zaffer | mmm, finally got my little private bare metal backup server running how I want :) |
| 2026-06-20 16:40 | Anamur | yeh mostly |
| 2026-06-20 16:39 | Delyrium | everyone watching the game? |

| 2026-06-20 07:54 | Warlock | maybe a mon viz |
| 2026-06-20 07:54 | Warlock | something to do with pools, also with the new orc remort race i guess |
| 2026-06-20 07:53 | Warlock | prc from monk, so presumably related somehow in gameplay |
