00:01 | <Ailure> | been ages since I last touched monorail |
00:02 | <Ailure> | mostly becuse the trainsets I use tend to lack monorail trains |
00:03 | <Hendikins> | I tend to go electric -> maglev |
00:04 | <Ailure> | I don't replace my electrical railroads, just rather build maglev aside my railways |
00:05 | <Ailure> | since maglev is unsuitable for bulk cargo :P |
00:08 | <nickname> | unsuitable? |
00:15 | <Ailure> | yeah |
00:15 | <Ailure> | that's why most train sets who have maglev technology only carries passengers, and maybe containers too |
00:16 | <nickname> | i dont get it |
00:16 | <nickname> | why |
00:17 | <Ailure> | Can the superspeed maglev system used to transport goods? |
00:17 | <Ailure> | The superspeed maglev system is suited to transport valuable express goods that can be packed into containers. Special vehicles are available for freight traffic. The freight sections can be combined to form goods-only trains and mixed trains carrying both passengers and freight. Each freight section has a capacity of 17 t. The operating speeds of freight vehicles and passenger vehicles are the same. |
00:17 | <Ailure> | The maglev system is not designed to transport heavy and bulk goods because it isn't reasonable to transport coal, ore, steel or oil at 500 km/h. |
00:17 | <Ailure> | from the transrapid FAQ |
00:18 | <Ailure> | it might be diffrent for other maglev's, but I doubt it |
00:18 | <nickname> | oh |
00:18 | <nickname> | well i dont really care about realism |
00:18 | <Ailure> | well it's a gameplay issue for me too :) |
00:19 | <Ailure> | I like variation |
00:19 | <Ailure> | it's neat to mix diffrent types of transport :P |
00:20 | <Ailure> | I find myself making new passenger lines with maglev most of the time, and leave the old railroad network for industrial bulk goods |
00:20 | <nickname> | mmm |
00:20 | <nickname> | you know |
00:21 | <nickname> | i dont understand the point of transfer |
00:21 | <nickname> | i have ti going on my game, but the train that delivers the goods to the final destinaion, just looses me lots of money ever yyear |
00:21 | <Ailure> | That's due how transfer works actually |
00:22 | <Ailure> | there's ways of avoiding it too |
00:22 | <nickname> | how? |
00:22 | <Ailure> | such as avoiding going from a fast to slow transport |
00:22 | <Ailure> | such as aircraft -> ship |
00:22 | <nickname> | i'm doing all trains |
00:22 | <nickname> | but its a very large distance |
00:23 | <nickname> | like halfway across the map |
00:23 | <nickname> | and its like a 512x512 map |
00:23 | <Ailure> | hmm |
00:23 | <Ailure> | then I dunno |
00:23 | <Ailure> | unless the other train waits for a really long time |
00:24 | <Ailure> | the money that a train gains when transferring cargo is just merely virtual |
00:24 | <Ailure> | the real money comes when the last vhicle unloads the cargo |
00:24 | <Ailure> | and if it's less profit than the virtual money earlier, it reports a loss |
00:24 | <nickname> | the last train looses alot of money when it picks up the cargo |
00:24 | <Ailure> | then I dunno |
00:24 | <Ailure> | I'm not sure how you set it up |

02:25 | <boekabart> | i know that |
02:25 | <boekabart> | thanks for giving me so much credit :) |
02:25 | <Rubidium> | so @calc 256 - 8 and then paste that into @base 10 16 |

03:31 | <mcbane> | wel the newai switch shouldnt cause that i think |
03:32 | <mcbane> | newai means that the ai is partially implemented from AI brach or am i wrong |
03:32 | <boekabart> | no |
03:32 | <Rubidium> | no, that was another attempt |
03:32 | <Rubidium> | it's just that "newai" doesn't cheat, whereas "oldai" does like hell |
03:33 | <Rubidium> | which makes "oldai" not suitable for network play, as other people might exploit the "oldai" cheats |
03:33 | <mcbane> | well with old ai (newai off) there is no company created in multiplayer. |
03:33 | <mcbane> | i have buy others off =) |
03:33 | <Rubidium> | as oldai cannot be used in multiplayer, due to it's vast need to cheat |

07:15 | <Brianetta> | but Gentoo slowly destroyed itself |
07:15 | <Ailure> | I use Ubuntu on my laptop |
07:15 | <Brianetta> | so I replaced it with Trustix |
07:15 | <Ailure> | Bet Gentoo users consider it a n00b distro |
07:15 | <Brianetta> | Gentoo's "use" flags are touted as a huge advantage |
07:16 | <Brianetta> | Like, if you have no printer, you can compile everything without support for printing |
07:16 | <Brianetta> | No CUPS, no drivers, nothing |
07:16 | <Phazorx> | heh what do they ahve against gentoo? |
07:16 | <Brianetta> | and then |
07:16 | <Brianetta> | when you buy a printer |
07:16 | <Brianetta> | you have to add printing to your "use" and then... |
07:16 | <Ailure> | I really don't see how huge speed improvment that would have |
07:16 | <Brianetta> | rebuild the entire bloody OS! |
07:16 | <Phazorx> | Brianetta: 2 things |
07:17 | <Brianetta> | Phazorx: It was an example |
07:17 | <Phazorx> | think ahead being first... and plan how you gonna use your hardware |
07:17 | <Brianetta> | You could switch "gnome support" for "printing" |
07:17 | <Phazorx> | second, ity will recompile your damn os with 2 commands |
07:17 | <Brianetta> | You might believe you're a KDE man, through and through |
07:17 | <Phazorx> | and will work after reboot |
07:17 | <Phazorx> | which is a beauty to see |
07:17 | <Brianetta> | with 2 commands and a whole bunch of time |
07:17 | <Ailure> | "I am a long time Gentoo user, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but I believe that as hardware gets faster, it makes sense to migrate to a largely source-based Linux system. Binary packages encourage inconsistency and incompatibility, whearas source encourages unified development frameworks and integration." |
07:17 | <Ailure> | hahha what |
07:18 | <Phazorx> | who cares, point being you do have that option |
07:18 | <Brianetta> | You're not going to convince me that Gentoo is good. I used it as a primary OS on my four machines for four years. |
07:18 | <Phazorx> | it runs about on 30 servers at my prious place ar wrk :) |
07:18 | <Brianetta> | The very fact that the documentation didn't mention that you sould always emerge upgrades with --deep, for example, cost me an installation |
07:18 | <Brianetta> | once glibc was too old to upgrade itself |
07:19 | <Brianetta> | and the compiler failed |
07:19 | <Phazorx> | that is sad, indeed |
07:19 | <valhallasw> | if you should do that, why isn't it the default? :| |
07:19 | <Eddi|zuHause2> | Phazorx: let me guess, it also runs your keyboard :p |
07:19 | <Brianetta> | valhallasw: NFI. |
07:19 | <Brianetta> | That was why my server needed a reinstall |
07:19 | <Brianetta> | It was 350 miles away, and couldn't be updated. |
07:19 | <Brianetta> | Once I switched ISPs, I took the opportunity to reinstall the OS. |
07:20 | <valhallasw> | -_- |
07:20 | <Ailure> | heh |
07:20 | <Ailure> | "I essentially started using Gentoo because my ....ing KDE clock would never show the right time in Red Hat." |
07:20 | <Ailure> | I wonder how he even got Gentoo working |
07:20 | <Phazorx> | upgrade is a relegion imo |
07:20 | <valhallasw> | kde :'( |
07:20 | <Brianetta> | I'd already given up on Gentoo at home, because it took so long to upgrade OpenOffice.org that the *next* one was available by the time it had finished. |
07:20 | <valhallasw> | xfce4 O+ |
07:20 | <Phazorx> | some people think it is a way to save and imptrove things.. i mostly dont believe in it :) |
07:20 | <Ailure> | hah |
07:21 | <Ailure> | unlike why I love the package manager in Linux |
07:21 | <Ailure> | almost anything I installed through the package manager |
07:21 | <Ailure> | is easily upgradable |
07:21 | <Ailure> | in a painless way |
07:21 | <Brianetta> | Also, I took the time to measure performance on Gentoo and on subsequent Fedora installations |
07:21 | <Brianetta> | About parity, was the result. |
07:21 | <Ailure> | heh Fedora |
07:21 | <Ailure> | First distrobution I used |
07:22 | <valhallasw> | I hear good stories about ubuntu |
07:22 | <Brianetta> | My first was Slackware Professional Linux 2.0 |
07:22 | <Ailure> | I used some early version of it |
07:22 | <Brianetta> | I currently recommend Ubuntu to the LUG embers |
07:22 | <Ailure> | where some stuff was broken |
07:22 | <Ailure> | I tried slackware next |
07:22 | <Ailure> | LUG? |
07:22 | <Brianetta> | embers? hot coals? I menat members |
07:22 | <valhallasw> | linux user group |
07:22 | <Ailure> | ah |
07:22 | <valhallasw> | or sth |
07:22 | <Ailure> | Well |
07:22 | <Brianetta> | Ailure: I run http://www.tyneside.lug.org.uk/ |
07:22 | <Brianetta> | In fact, I founded it |
07:22 | <Brianetta> | we're one of the oldest |
07:23 | <Ailure> | intresting |
07:23 | <Ailure> | I really enjoy Ubuntu |
07:23 | <valhallasw> | bbl |
07:23 | <Ailure> | and that's someone who tried severeal linux distros and even a BSD |
07:23 | <Ailure> | *from someone |
07:23 | <Brianetta> | People ask me when I switched from Windows |
07:23 | <Brianetta> | I laugh at them |
07:23 | <Brianetta> | I actually switched from DOS |
07:23 | <Phazorx> | Brianetta: not sure about fedora, but i moved from RHEL to gentoo |
07:23 | <Phazorx> | compiling own kernel and optimizing DB binaries gave 10-15% |
07:24 | <Brianetta> | Phazorx: My real beef with Gentoo is the amount of active maintenance it requires. |
07:24 | <Phazorx> | Brianetta: well i'm not sure if any is required |
07:24 | <Brianetta> | emerging a new package often requires updating other things, and you need to be careful every damned time |
07:24 | <Phazorx> | unless you constaly mod/develop whatever the box is doing |
07:24 | <Brianetta> | "ooh, I think I'll try that network analyser" |
07:25 | <Phazorx> | Brianetta: on a working server |
07:25 | <Brianetta> | Phazorx: This was my desktop |
07:25 | <Phazorx> | you are going to try to do soemthing that is capable of messing u your whole setup? |
07:25 | <Brianetta> | I wouldn't even consider Gentoo on a machine I couldn't physically reach |
07:25 | <Phazorx> | well so that is your test box |
07:25 | <Phazorx> | it meants to be rebooted |
07:25 | <Brianetta> | My test box? |
07:25 | <Brianetta> | No |
07:25 | <Brianetta> | That's the machine I work on |
07:26 | <Brianetta> | Installing packages on other distributions doesn't affect stability |
07:26 | <Phazorx> | with servers there was one dedicated test/spare, which was doing compiling/updating and maintained local portage mirror |
07:26 | <Ailure> | [14:24] <Brianetta> I wouldn't even consider Gentoo on a machine I couldn't physically reach |
07:26 | <Ailure> | Obviously |
07:26 | <Ailure> | I mean heh |
07:26 | <Ailure> | I help a friend of mine to adminstrate a Linux server in a server farm |
07:26 | <Phazorx> | so other servers with identical setup just sync from it if really neded |
07:26 | <Phazorx> | uptime was tree nines |
07:26 | <Ailure> | the few times it have gone down for random reasons it's been painful to get it up again |
07:27 | <Ailure> | usually hardware related failures |
07:27 | <Ailure> | so I can only imagine what would happen if you just do a improper update that breaks SSH or even the system as whole |
07:28 | <Phazorx> | Ailure: yet agaion i'm against updationg unless you have really good reason |
07:28 | <Phazorx> | and you dont just *try* updating soemthing that is unreachalble and meant to be up all time |
07:28 | <Ailure> | we don't upgrade often on that server |
07:28 | <Brianetta> | Really good reasons include security updates |
07:28 | <Ailure> | I upgrade whenever I can on my laptop though |
07:29 | <Brianetta> | You can't leave old packages on internet servers |
07:29 | <Ailure> | and yeah, that's true |
07:29 | <Phazorx> | Brianetta: i tend to separate pieces that ensure security and do work |
07:29 | <Brianetta> | Separate how? What if it's an ssh vulnerability? |
07:29 | <Ailure> | security problems tend to get widely known fast |
07:29 | <Brianetta> | and lo, the update requires 14 other updates |
07:29 | <Phazorx> | well i dont think ANY of servers that might be vulerable should be SSH availabled from the net |
07:30 | <Phazorx> | now of servers i managed were |
07:30 | <Phazorx> | there was dedeicated LAN for console acces with VPN access to it |
07:30 | <Brianetta> | I can't afford that amount of datacentre space |
07:30 | <Brianetta> | 1u is all I rent |
07:30 | <Brianetta> | and I have zero physical access |
07:31 | <Phazorx> | well you should not be conserned much about security having not that much of scale |
07:31 | <Brianetta> | unless I buy time in the build room |
07:31 | <Brianetta> | I shouldn't be concerned with security? |
07:31 | <Brianetta> | It's my first, and often only, concern |
07:31 | <Brianetta> | If my box is compromised, I am totally screwed |
07:32 | <Phazorx> | well security updates based on internet based bulettin is not a guarantee, since it is reactive rather than proactive |
07:32 | <Brianetta> | If I were to be proactive, I lose all portage benefits. |
07:33 | <Brianetta> | As it happens, Trustix excels in every respect over Gewntoo, on my server. |
07:33 | <Phazorx> | if i care about security i emply preventive methods to level of not having a need to deploy patches/updates unless there is a major software change |
07:34 | <Brianetta> | You can't learn about security holes first, unless you're some kind of psychic |
07:34 | <Phazorx> | like hoin from apache/modphp/mysql4 to lighttpd/fastcgi/mysql5 |
07:34 | <Brianetta> | They have their own holes |
07:34 | <Phazorx> | Brianetta: exactly so you stop having "things" that might have/develop security holes |
07:34 | <Brianetta> | Like saying, because I switched to dovecot, I don't need to worry about POP3 vulnerabilities |
07:34 | <Brianetta> | Still, despite its total emphasis on security, it's had several security fixes this year. |
07:35 | <Phazorx> | Brianetta: if you switch to exchange - you dont tho |
07:35 | <Phazorx> | because pop is not used anymore |
07:35 | <Phazorx> | so you dont need ssh upades if there is no way to get to ssh |
07:35 | <Phazorx> | you donty need to worry about apache updates if you dont use apache |
07:35 | <Brianetta> | I'm not going to switch to a proprietary system. They have security hoes that don't even get looked at. |
07:35 | <Phazorx> | you dont need phpnuke/wordpost fizxes if you dont have them |
07:36 | <Brianetta> | Phazorx: You need fixes for the things you have instead |
07:36 | <Phazorx> | well i'm not suggesting that, but that is the general apraoch |
07:36 | <Brianetta> | Crumbs, I run my own web software |
07:36 | <Brianetta> | I write my own security fixes |
07:36 | <Phazorx> | fixing whole is not guaranteeing anything, not having them in first places gives confidence |
07:36 | <Brianetta> | Avoiding popular software isn't the issue |
07:36 | <Brianetta> | I *need* a web server |
07:36 | <Brianetta> | I *need* ssh |
07:37 | <Brianetta> | In fact, I use ssh to secure a bunch of other protocols. |
07:37 | <Phazorx> | you webserver can be limited in functionality to what you need |

07:37 | <Brianetta> | It can? |
07:37 | <Phazorx> | ssh can be limited to only set of ips, or betetr yet use different network interfaface with VPN |
07:37 | <Brianetta> | I need to connect from anywhere |
07:37 | <Brianetta> | including dynamic IPs |
07:38 | <Phazorx> | Brianetta: nope, you dont, you can proxy |
07:38 | <Brianetta> | I am proxying at the moment |
07:38 | <Brianetta> | and there are some IP based restrictions |
07:38 | <Phazorx> | i used radmin to my work box, or ssh to it even from blackberry, and then get to server |
07:38 | <Brianetta> | but what makes my SSH secure isn't that |
07:39 | <Brianetta> | It's using keys only, and automatically blocking IPs that attempt to log in with a password. |
07:39 | <Phazorx> | well not having listner on port 22 on same IP you run webserver is much better |
07:39 | <Brianetta> | In any case, the issue isn't whether SSH should or shouldn't be used |
07:39 | <Brianetta> | It's whether Gentoo can adequately provide secure updates |
07:39 | <Brianetta> | Bearing in mind that Trustix can, and it never, ever breaks |
07:40 | <Phazorx> | as efficient as any other compiled OS i guess |
07:40 | <Phazorx> | i have nothing againstr trustix and given your situation it is a wise choice |
07:40 | <Phazorx> | how right tool for right job is a good philosophy |
07:41 | <Phazorx> | if you need a lot of people you use bus, if you need to get there fast you use sportscar |
07:41 | <Phazorx> | doesnt mean evier is bad as long as they are used within relm of their capabilities |
07:42 | <Phazorx> | point being - gentoo with it's "flawed" system of updates and "inability" to guess what user might need in future and eliminating these options of expandability has it's place |

09:15 | <Amixwoktest> | nice |
09:15 | <Amixwoktest> | now support MorphOS ;) |
09:16 | <Amixwoktest> | Born_Acorn: what sort of os is RiscOS really? |
09:16 | <Amixwoktest> | ive allways wondered about Acorn |
09:16 | <Amixwoktest> | looked at it as a competitor to Amiga back in days |
09:18 | <Rubidium> | now write a delphi parser for GCC ;) |
09:19 | <frosch123> | try freepascal |
09:19 | <frosch123> | except pngdelphi, it should work |
09:19 | <Amixwoktest> | write in DSL language |
09:19 | <Amixwoktest> | and you suddendly support way more plattforms |
09:19 | <Amixwoktest> | ;) |
09:20 | <Rubidium> | isn't dsl a little too low level to be usefull? |
09:20 | <Amixwoktest> | no |
09:20 | <Amixwoktest> | Pixel32 etc is SDL product |
09:21 | <Rubidium> | oh.. I had HDL in mind ;) |
09:22 | <Amixwoktest> | http://www.kanzelsberger.com/pixel/?page_id=12 |
09:22 | <Amixwoktest> | :) |
09:23 | <Amixwoktest> | Pixel is a RGB, CMYK and HDR image editing, photo retouching, graphics manipulating and animation program available for many operating systems formerly known as Pixel32. It is available for Windows, Linux, Linspire, MacOSX, BeOS, Zeta, QNX, MorphOS, FreeBSD, eComStation, OS/2, SkyOS and even old plain DOS, for both x86 and PowerPC architectures. |
09:23 | <Rubidium> | boring... who cares about pixels in the context of nfo? |
09:24 | <Amixwoktest> | ¿ |
09:24 | <Rubidium> | (yes, I know his post says grf, but it's rather the nfo-part of the GRF it handles than the pcx part) |
09:25 | <Amixwoktest> | ohh |
09:25 | <Amixwoktest> | ill stop now |
09:25 | <Amixwoktest> | because now i dont know what were talking about, lol |
09:25 | <Amixwoktest> | ;p |
09:25 | <frosch123> | But it reads grfs. They are a lot easier to parse, than nfo. |
09:41 | <Progman> | frosch123: how looks a sample html file? |
09:43 | <frosch123> | decode one :) |
09:43 | <Progman> | no wine atm |
09:43 | <Progman> | you should provide an example in the forum post anyway |
09:44 | <frosch123> | Then tell me one, which I can publish without making the author angry. |
09:44 | <Progman> | ah, damn, of course... |
09:44 | <@Belugas> | whooo.... cool tool :) |
09:44 | <@Belugas> | just saw it |
09:47 | <Rubidium> | Ammler's nothing.grf (I think) |
09:51 | <frosch123> | Hmm, perhaps I can make some screenshots, which noone can associate to a grf... |

10:39 | <TrueBrain> | bah, no kicking today :( |
10:42 | <Ammler> | TrueBrain: kicking is a good keyword, is it hard to extend the function banning for a whole subnet? |
10:42 | [~] | TrueBrain sets mode +b *!*@*.ch |
10:43 | <Eddi|zuHause2> | i'm afraid he means in the game :p |
10:49 | <TrueBrain> | bah |
10:49 | <Ammler> | our workaround is atm to ban the guy from IRC and web |
10:50 | <Ammler> | so, he can't get the password |
10:50 | <+glx> | like soup? |
10:50 | <Ammler> | yep |
10:51 | <Ammler> | but maybe there is a "builtin function" for C++ to compare with subnets? |
10:51 | <TrueBrain> | it means you need to get the rdns |
10:51 | <TrueBrain> | which currently isn't implemented at all I think |
10:52 | <TrueBrain> | so it takes a bit of work, but not undoable |
10:52 | <Phazorx> | TrueBrain: rdns? |
10:52 | <Phazorx> | Ammler means by ip + cidr |
10:52 | <Ammler> | I don't need dns for banning subnets |
10:52 | <TrueBrain> | you want to ban on IP base... |
10:52 | <TrueBrain> | doable, but less useful |
10:52 | <Ammler> | sometinng like 192.* |
10:52 | <Eddi|zuHause2> | you mean in the form of 192.168.0.* |
10:53 | <TrueBrain> | if you do it, you can better do it based on dns |
10:53 | <Phazorx> | no |
10:53 | <TrueBrain> | a bit more effort, but more useful |
10:53 | <Phazorx> | i mean 192.168.0.0/16 |
10:53 | <TrueBrain> | anyway, feel free to make a patch ;) |
10:53 | <Ammler> | Phazorx: is there a difference? |
10:53 | <Phazorx> | Ammler: cidr more flexible |
10:53 | <Eddi|zuHause2> | in german we say "das selbe in grün" |
10:53 | <Eddi|zuHause2> | or "dasselbe", i'm never sure... |
10:54 | <Ammler> | ähm, TrueBrain, I ask you because you know C++ better (much) then me, so you might know if there is already a function... |
10:54 | <Ammler> | you don't have to do it |
10:55 | <Phazorx> | Ammler: 192.168.64.1/29 - bans only 8 ips |
10:55 | <Phazorx> | Ammler: 192.168.64.128/29 - bans othjer 8 ips |
10:55 | <Ammler> | Phazorx: it depense on the function, which you can use |
10:56 | <TrueBrain> | Ammler: in fact, because of a 'bug' you had this feature a while back |
10:56 | <TrueBrain> | 'someone' fixed it :p |
10:56 | <Phazorx> | and isp buy ip ranges in these segments so bans for ips/locale makes much more sense with bitmask |
10:56 | <TrueBrain> | Phazorx: still, rdns-based makes much more sense ;) |
10:56 | <Phazorx> | TrueBrain: just as much sense, perhaps easier to manage tho |
10:56 | <TrueBrain> | (as ISPs have several ip-ranges ;)) |
10:57 | <Phazorx> | TrueBrain: i dont mind digging ips and whoising isps for desired effect |
10:57 | <Ammler> | yeah, like the IRC |
10:57 | <Eddi|zuHause2> | +b *.t-dialin.net |
10:57 | <Phazorx> | i do mind lacking ability to do it |
10:57 | <Ammler> | just begin with IP-Masks |
10:57 | <Phazorx> | and yet again i dont want to ban whole isp in most cases |
10:57 | <Phazorx> | but i can find out with whois exact range dedicated to some area in case if that applies |
10:58 | <Phazorx> | which makes targeting much mroe presize |
10:58 | <Phazorx> | rdns will not help in this case |
10:58 | <TrueBrain> | rdns still is more useful :) |
10:58 | <TrueBrain> | as most ISPs are smart enough to put the area in the rdns |
10:58 | <TrueBrain> | but okay, I say: make a patch :) |
10:59 | <Phazorx> | well my point is cidr range is easier to do and will do the job |

11:02 | <Ammler> | I repeat me, but I never asked you to do it, just asked you, if there is a function in C++ where can already compare such things |
11:03 | <TrueBrain> | oh, sorry, misread you |
11:03 | <TrueBrain> | happens :p |
11:03 | <TrueBrain> | for what Phazorx suggests, I wouldn't know a function, but I guess it isn't that hard |
11:03 | <TrueBrain> | convert the IP to an int, and you can do some nice bitshifting |
11:04 | <@Belugas> | always when coming back from hiliday :) takes a while to get back on work :D |
11:04 | <TrueBrain> | for what I suggest, you need regexp support to do it nicely |
11:04 | <TrueBrain> | not default C++ either |
11:05 | <Ammler> | hmm, maybe Phazorx will try a little bit with C? |

11:05 | <Phazorx> | Ammler: as i suggested before - norroing some code for apache wil ldo the trick |
11:05 | <Phazorx> | and last time i was doing c was about 10 years ago |
11:05 | <Ammler> | yeah, good reason for a comming back |
11:06 | <TrueBrain> | lol, using Apache to find this function (or any other for that matter) will take much longer than a good www.google.com search :) |
11:06 | <Phazorx> | well at least to the level of acomplishing something worth having a name next to it :) |
11:06 | <Phazorx> | TrueBrain: i dont think i can word it good enough |
11:06 | <Phazorx> | but any other utility that can read cidr mask will do |
11:06 | <Phazorx> | it is as easy as parsing string from config differently and applying proper bitmask tho |
11:07 | <TrueBrain> | as I said, convert to int, and apply bitmask ;) |
11:07 | <TrueBrain> | (shifting) |
11:07 | <Eddi|zuHause2> | <TrueBrain> convert the IP to an int, and you can do some nice bitshifting <- just & it with the subnet mask |
11:07 | <TrueBrain> | Eddi|zuHause2: you want shifting, to do comparing :) |
11:07 | <TrueBrain> | the /29 means >> 3, and compare the 2 values |
11:07 | <Phazorx> | TrueBrain: xor more like it |
11:07 | <TrueBrain> | euh.. |
11:08 | <TrueBrain> | doh |
11:08 | <TrueBrain> | but okay |
11:08 | <Eddi|zuHause2> | no, why xor? |
11:08 | <Phazorx> | Eddi|zuHause2: becasue cidr works that way |
11:08 | <TrueBrain> | no, what I said should work |
11:08 | <Phazorx> | TrueBrain: i meant you compare xored result to 0 |
11:09 | <Phazorx> | the shifting is ecatly as you described |
11:09 | <TrueBrain> | yeah, I was confused by my own math |
11:09 | <TrueBrain> | but okay |
11:10 | <TrueBrain> | inet_addr(ban_ip) >> (32 - subnet) == inet_addr(client_ip): kick |
11:10 | <TrueBrain> | euh |
11:10 | <TrueBrain> | inet_addr(ban_ip) >> (32 - subnet) == inet_addr(client_ip) >> (32 - subnet): kick |
11:10 | <Phazorx> | hmm |
11:10 | <Eddi|zuHause2> | it does not matter much, if you xor, shift, and compare to 0, or if you shift twice, and check for equality |
11:10 | <Ammler> | and this patch should work also only on server side |
11:10 | <Phazorx> | xoring is still required |
11:11 | <TrueBrain> | Phazorx: why? |
11:11 | <Eddi|zuHause2> | A xor B == 0 is equivalent to A == B |
11:11 | <Phazorx> | TrueBrain: trying to word it properly hang on |
11:12 | <Eddi|zuHause2> | what the compiler or processor does with these expressions is a whole different story |
11:12 | <Phazorx> | i guess since you do it other way - it does not ened to be xored |
11:12 | <TrueBrain> | Eddi|zuHause2: and who cares, as long as it works :p |
11:12 | <Phazorx> | you are trunking uneffective bits and comparing the res |
11:12 | <Phazorx> | i was thinking of comparing base and xoring mask |
11:12 | <TrueBrain> | Phazorx: which is what a subnetmask does, when banning ;) |
11:13 | <Phazorx> | diff aproaches but same result |
11:13 | <TrueBrain> | problem about xoring mask, is that you have the value 29 |
11:13 | <TrueBrain> | you need to make that into 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1000 |
11:13 | <Phazorx> | or <<29 instead of >>3 |
11:14 | <Phazorx> | your logic is fine tho |
11:14 | <Phazorx> | mine was just doing reverse of what you had in mind |
11:14 | <TrueBrain> | I just wonder how to make that bitmask from the number 29... |
11:14 | <TrueBrain> | in an efficient way |
11:14 | <Eddi|zuHause2> | -1 << 3? |
11:14 | <TrueBrain> | hmm, good point |
11:15 | <Phazorx> | -1 is less efficient than 0xffffff :) |
11:15 | <TrueBrain> | ((uint32)-1) << 3 |
11:15 | <TrueBrain> | but yeah :) |
11:15 | <TrueBrain> | Phazorx: (uint32)-1 == 0xFFFFFFFF |
11:15 | <Phazorx> | TrueBrain: 0xffffffff is a constant :) |
11:15 | <TrueBrain> | -1 too :) |
11:15 | <Eddi|zuHause2> | Phazorx: it's totally a compiler issue, there is nothing about efficiency... |
11:15 | <TrueBrain> | Eddi|zuHause2: worse: it is machine issue :) |
11:15 | <TrueBrain> | -1 == 0xFFFFFFFF |
11:16 | <Phazorx> | TrueBrain: there was something about ansi c misrepresenting -1 long time ago |
11:16 | <TrueBrain> | either in (int32) or (uint32) |
11:16 | <Phazorx> | perhaps it does not apply to cpp though |
11:16 | <TrueBrain> | Phazorx: ANSI C can't misrepresent anything in this matter |
11:16 | <TrueBrain> | it is how machines are build these days :) |
11:16 | <Eddi|zuHause2> | yeah, it is the issue of the compiler to convert the representation (-1) to the same as (0xFFFFFFFF) |
11:16 | <TrueBrain> | we use two-forgotname |

11:16 | <Eddi|zuHause2> | two-complement |
11:16 | <TrueBrain> | thank you |
11:16 | <Phazorx> | TrueBrain: -1 would become longint if used in context with casting type on it 1st i mean |
11:17 | <Phazorx> | without i meant |
11:17 | <TrueBrain> | therefor you need the cast, yes ;) |
11:17 | <TrueBrain> | but the asm should be the same |
11:17 | <TrueBrain> | would be fun to check it out :) |
11:17 | <Eddi|zuHause2> | your level of discussion is way too low for my taste :p |
11:17 | <TrueBrain> | low, as in low-level? :p |
11:17 | <Phazorx> | TrueBrain: well imagine a routine like if((unit) X == -1) { dostuff();} |
11:18 | <Eddi|zuHause2> | TrueBrain: the ambiguity is deliberate :p |
11:18 | <TrueBrain> | Phazorx: that is a pretty faulty statement :) What does work: if (X == (uint)-1) |
11:18 | <TrueBrain> | -1 doesn't have a real value if you don't put it in a cast ;) |
11:18 | <Eddi|zuHause2> | Phazorx: the compiler should warn about that |
11:19 | <TrueBrain> | (uint64)-1 != (uint32)-1 |
11:19 | <Phazorx> | anwyay, this should not apply these days since it has been know for long while |
11:19 | <TrueBrain> | (but okay, (uint64)1 != (uint32)1 either :p |
11:19 | <TrueBrain> | hehe |
11:19 | <TrueBrain> | so that is a nice faulty statement :p |
11:19 | <TrueBrain> | (what I wrote :p) |
11:20 | <Phazorx> | well my point was e if((uint) X == 1) would have worked as desired |
11:20 | <Phazorx> | whereas e if((uint) X == -1) would not |
11:20 | <Eddi|zuHause2> | depends on what you desire |
11:20 | <TrueBrain> | indeed :) |
11:20 | <Ammler> | TrueBrain: depense on little or big endian |
11:20 | <TrueBrain> | but as Eddi|zuHause2 said, the compiler should warn :) |
11:20 | <TrueBrain> | Ammler: not really |
11:20 | <TrueBrain> | -1 = 0xFF |
11:20 | <TrueBrain> | in which ever amount of bytes |
11:20 | <Phazorx> | Eddi|zuHause2: if x being the one in 1st case and -1 in second to procede with following statement |
11:20 | <TrueBrain> | so in that case, it doesn't matter ;) |

11:22 | <TrueBrain> | Phazorx: signed? -1 ;) |
11:22 | <Ammler> | -2+1=-1 |
11:22 | <TrueBrain> | as 0xFE is -2, if a signed byte |
11:22 | <Phazorx> | ahh well we got to signed already |
11:22 | <Phazorx> | i missed that step |
11:22 | <TrueBrain> | Phazorx: -1 is 0xFF in unsigned too, although that statement is kind of tricky to state :) |
11:23 | <Phazorx> | still thinking of uint and int being word ratehr than byte :) |
11:23 | <TrueBrain> | (as -1 is invalud in unsigned :p) |

11:26 | <Eddi|zuHause2> | "there are only 3 commands needed to install gentoo" :p |
11:26 | <Phazorx> | Rubidium: TrueBrain pretty much even stated that line |
11:26 | <Phazorx> | just ened to put it in right place |
11:26 | <TrueBrain> | if (sin.sin_addr.s_addr == inet_addr(_network_ban_list[i])) { |
11:27 | <TrueBrain> | that is the only line needs changing |
11:27 | <TrueBrain> | the tricky part is to allow the subnet mask |
11:27 | <Sacro> | rawr |
11:27 | <Eddi|zuHause2> | i think there is a little more needed to change the ban command |
11:27 | <Rubidium> | the "tricky" part is reading the subnet mask |
11:27 | <Rubidium> | the rest is simple |
11:27 | <TrueBrain> | Rubidium: that is what I said ;) |
11:27 | <TrueBrain> | strrchr ;) |
11:27 | <Eddi|zuHause2> | that is what i meant ;) |
11:27 | <Phazorx> | oh yeah... that isnt perl and RE i forgot :) |
11:27 | <TrueBrain> | check for /, and it should be easy :) |
11:28 | <Ammler> | we could begin with just one format |
11:28 | <Rubidium> | yup, not we do IP/32 |
11:28 | <Phazorx> | Ammler: and end with just one as well :) |
11:28 | <Rubidium> | and we should add IP/0 |
11:28 | <Eddi|zuHause2> | and then convert 192.168.0.* to 192.168.0.0/8 |
11:28 | <Ammler> | hmm, thats fine in future |
11:29 | <Phazorx> | i dont think * thingy is really ended in case if you have cidr |
11:29 | <TrueBrain> | Phazorx: many many many many many many many many <..> people don't understand how cidr works |
11:29 | <TrueBrain> | ending up with bans on IP/0 |
11:34 | <Ammler> | Phazorx: not everyone can calculate the bitshift or how is that called? |
11:34 | <Phazorx> | TrueBrain: many people dont know how to drive... yet they get a book, try and eventualy get a license |
11:34 | <TrueBrain> | Phazorx: this is different |
11:34 | <TrueBrain> | people do know how to do 192.168.0.* |
11:34 | <Phazorx> | Ammler: this is go to whoispage for isp and copy/paste |
11:34 | <TrueBrain> | like many people know how to drive a car, but a few try to drive motor |
11:34 | <Phazorx> | TrueBrain: in most cases * will not so what you want |
11:34 | <Phazorx> | and you end up banning too many or too few |
11:34 | <TrueBrain> | Phazorx: yup |
11:34 | <TrueBrain> | mask-banning in general has that effect |
11:34 | <Phazorx> | proper mask banning has less/does not |
11:34 | <Rubidium> | Eddi|zuHause2: 192.168.0.1* then doesn't work... |
11:34 | <TrueBrain> | (if I screw up in a server, and get a /29 ban for example, my neighbour can't join either) |
11:34 | <Ammler> | I would begin with 24 |
11:34 | <TrueBrain> | even a /30 puts my neighbour out of the server too |
11:34 | <Phazorx> | TrueBrain: that's really the price for that |
11:34 | <Eddi|zuHause2> | Rubidium: no, if you use that syntax, you can only ban /0, /8, /16 etc. |
11:34 | <Phazorx> | i banned whole state because of one prick :) |
11:34 | <TrueBrain> | as said, mask-banning in genral has a big downside ;) |
11:34 | <Phazorx> | but having cidr mask it can be targeted more specificaly |
11:34 | <TrueBrain> | yup |
11:34 | <Phazorx> | and if people really like entering * in config - that cane be autoreplaced to /8 /16 or /24 |
11:34 | <Ammler> | but in future :) |
11:34 | <Phazorx> | unless you want soemthing crazy like a.*.b.c |
11:34 | <Eddi|zuHause2> | yeah, i think that replacement is rather trivial |
11:34 | <Rubidium> | Phazorx: then people *expect* 192.168.0.1*1 to work too |
11:34 | <Sacro> | why not use subnet nasking |
11:34 | <TrueBrain> | Rubidium: whould they? |
11:34 | <Sacro> | 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0 |
11:34 | <Phazorx> | Rubidium: these people should stop doing RE in C :) |
11:34 | <Phazorx> | Sacro: cidr is same |
11:34 | <Phazorx> | just properly noted |
11:34 | <Rubidium> | Sacro: technically that what you've written isn't correct |
11:34 | <Ammler> | Sacro: thats 192.168.0.0/24, I guess |
11:34 | <Phazorx> | and realy i'm talking about much lesser change for these who have the knowledge and can use it like tomorrow |

16:19 | <fjb> | What are "forbidden" basetunnels? |
16:19 | [~] | Hendikins is only actually using 20x3 for trains, and has scattered bits of detached station to cover the catchment area |
16:20 | <Ammler> | fjb: they are from eis_os and mustn't be used on OTTD. |

16:24 | <Rubidium> | Ammler: base tunnels *are* explicitly disallowed (by the NewGRF) for OpenTTD. |
16:24 | <@Bjarni> | <fjb> And what is eis_os? <-- it's "who", not "what".... he is a person, not an item :P |

17:10 | <gynterk> | yes, but this would be excellent feature... |
17:11 | <Prof_Frink> | Well, if you're starting over, you could use waypoints as an equivalent to ttdpatch's signalling restrictions |
17:13 | <fjb> | I think they are different. Way points are one thing, something like signal restrictions are the other. I thought about a kind of penalty marker that you could set on any pice of track. |
17:15 | <fjb> | The penalty marker could share same same tile with a signal. |
17:16 | <gynterk> | ah and btw, does anyone know a grf what changes signal system in intersections that it's possible to have more than 1 train there, if tracks would set that there would be no way those trains will crash |

17:48 | <fjb> | Amixwoktest: I know. The problem was, that one track was kind of pointing into the next building instead of joining the other track to build a bend. |
17:48 | <Amixwoktest> | mhm |
17:48 | <Amixwoktest> | same happened to me |
17:49 | <fjb> | And it was in the middle of a big city, so just a really dark corner with transparent buildings. I had to use a sreen magnifier to find out what happened. |
17:50 | <Amixwoktest> | fjb: thats why i build http://home.powertech.no/micbergs/OpenTTD/Brondingtown.png |
17:50 | <Amixwoktest> | build the tram in the middle |
17:50 | <Amixwoktest> | so that town builds arround it later on |
17:52 | <fjb> | Once there was a small town. Then came a small airport. Then came the railway. Then the town grew. Now the airport is way too small. I build a bigger airport next to the town, but now I have to join the two airports somehow. |

18:50 | <ln-> | sure |
18:51 | <@orudge> | He doesn't like people changing his "vision" |
18:51 | <@orudge> | TTD was meant to be the way it was meant to be, warts and all, he says |
18:52 | <@orudge> | practically speaking though, there's not that much he can do about TTDPatch, which is technically legal, and OpenTTD, which, well, is debatable |
18:52 | <@orudge> | it's not really worth his time or trouble to mount legal action |
18:52 | <@orudge> | he's currently in the middle of legal action against Atari anyway |
18:53 | <+glx> | why? |
18:53 | <fjb> | It would be a big step if OpenTTD didn't need the original files anymore. |
18:53 | <@Belugas> | we might one day |
18:53 | <@orudge> | why is he suing Atari, glx? |

19:09 | <fjb> | There are some really talented artists who make graphics for OpenTTD and TTDP. It would be better to convince one of the to do new graphics. |
19:09 | <Phazorx> | and biggest offence i can uimagine would be not having his name on title screen of the game |
19:10 | <Phazorx> | fjb: that does not change the fact of ottd being derivative of tt |
19:10 | <ln-> | fjb: such graphics could still be considered a derivative work. |
19:11 | <fjb> | We have the svn logs of the last years. Everything that was there before could be replaced an documentet in the logs. But that would be much work. The BDS people did the same thing. Now BSD is free from every Copyright. |
19:14 | <ln-> | BSD is public domain now? |
19:14 | <ln-> | fjb: and actually part of svn history has been lost. |
19:15 | <fjb> | I should have said it's free from the UNIX copyright. They have their own copyright now. |
19:15 | <fjb> | Every thing that was there before the svn got lost hast to be rewritten. |
19:15 | <ln-> | it's still derivative work. |
19:16 | <ln-> | it doesn't change anything. |
19:21 | <ln-> | proof: every attempt to create an open-source TTD-style (not clone) strategy game has failed. qed. |
19:21 | <fjb> | Here is the FreeBSd copyright: http://www.freebsd.org/copyright/freebsd-license.html |
19:21 | <fjb> | Why has it failed? I guess most parts are no new invention of Chris Sawyer. |
19:21 | <fjb> | BSD ist like UNIX. It startet from UNIX source. It is not counted as derived work in any way. |
19:21 | <fjb> | Isometry engines were there before TT. |
19:21 | <Eddi|zuHause> | fjb: there are lots of attempts to be found in the forum |
19:21 | <fjb> | And look at empire, it was open source long before TT existet. |
19:21 | <ln-> | failed probably because although there's nothing fundamentally new or complex in TTD, it is still hard work to build such a game, and so far no one has succeeded in the open source world. |
19:22 | <fjb> | Sure it is hard work. I guess OpenTTDs new pathfinder was also a lot of work. And many other things there were rewritten for OpenTTD. |
19:22 | <ln-> | fjb: it's a little like: you've seen a word processor such as Word or OpenOffice. no rocket science in them. still, would you be capable of writing one from scratch a) on your free time, b) even if you were paid? |
19:23 | <fjb> | Much work for a single person. But there is more than one person working at OpenTTD. And look at BSD or Linux. That are whole operating systems. Most done in free time. |
19:24 | <ln-> | errr.. no. |
19:24 | <ln-> | e.g. Red Hat has a lot of paid employees working fulltime on Linux. |
19:24 | <Eddi|zuHause> | fjb: stuff [YAPF] gets so much easier if you already have a framework [OTTD] to test it in |
19:24 | <fjb> | And word is far more work than OpenTTD. Or look at Scribus, a whole dtp system. |

19:26 | <fjb> | I don't think that the framework is derived work when every line of the code is new. |
19:26 | <Eddi|zuHause> | i would imagine that BSD stuff is a lot of students work |
19:26 | <Eddi|zuHause> | not so much free time work |
19:27 | <fjb> | BSD ist far bigger than OpenTTD. Early Linus was done in free time. |
19:27 | <Brianetta> | [01:19] <fjb> BSD ist like UNIX. It startet from UNIX source. It is not counted as derived work in any way. |
19:27 | <Brianetta> | BSD is UNIX |
19:27 | <fjb> | UNIX was copyrigted by AT&T at that time. |
19:27 | <Brianetta> | no |
19:27 | <Brianetta> | BSD is UNIX |
19:28 | <Brianetta> | as in, completely |
19:28 | <Brianetta> | AT&T has SysV, which was the other UNIX |
19:28 | <Eddi|zuHause> | fjb: it does not suffice to just replace lines of code |
19:28 | <fjb> | Berkley got the right to work on that code, but AT&T withdrew that licence. |
19:28 | <Eddi|zuHause> | you also have to prove that you did not let you "inspire" by the old code |
19:29 | <Brianetta> | fjb: What are you on about? UNIX is a trademark, owned by The Open Group |
19:29 | <Brianetta> | BSD is a UNIX |
19:29 | <Eddi|zuHause> | OTTD is tainted, and you will never remove that taint unless you start completely from scratch |
19:29 | <Brianetta> | Not a UNIX-like, not a clone |
19:29 | <fjb> | You don't have to prove that you don't know how the old code works. You just have to prove that your code is not identical to the old code. |
19:30 | <ln-> | fjb: so copyright can be removed just by doing a few search-and-replaces for some variable and function names. how simple. |
19:30 | <Brianetta> | It isn't so simple. |
19:30 | <Eddi|zuHause> | and add a few +0 or *1 everywhere |
19:30 | <fjb> | Not completel from scratch. The new pathfinder and other new things could stay in place. We have the logs that prove it is new. |
19:31 | <Brianetta> | It would have to be a clean-room implementation in order to be untainted. There is no reverse engineering defence there. |
19:31 | <fjb> | But starting over would not be that kind of a bad idea. We could get rid of C and C++ then. :-) |
19:32 | <Brianetta> | If I were starting over, I'd be tempted to begin with C++ |
19:32 | <ln-> | and move to ObjC |
19:32 | <Brianetta> | and have a full OO design |

19:34 | <ln-> | it may not have SDL bindings available |

19:38 | <Eddi|zuHause> | anyway, there are more design constraints, like being able to load old [release] savegames |
19:38 | <fjb> | You could map the slots internally to linked lists an translate the vehicle ids. |
19:38 | <Eddi|zuHause> | and use the old graphics files |
19:39 | <fjb> | Why do you need to load saved games. It's just a game and no importand documents. |
19:39 | <Eddi|zuHause> | fjb: "linked lists" do not have anything to do in such a level of development plan |
19:39 | <fjb> | Just play a game with OpenTTD. But start a new game with a rewritten OpenTTD. |
19:39 | <Eddi|zuHause> | fjb: because you want people to migrate to the new platform |
19:40 | <fjb> | How long do people play a game? Month? Years? |
19:40 | <ln-> | i agree that being able to load old games is not important. |
19:40 | <fjb> | Just make sure you can use the cool NewGRFs. That lavel of compatibility is nedded, not a saved game. |
19:41 | <ln-> | and i also agree with eddi that "linked list" does not belong to a high-level architecture description. |
19:41 | <fjb> | You can alway play your old saved game with the current OpenTTD. |
19:41 | <Eddi|zuHause> | ln-: it has been in the previous development, i see no reason to drop that policy, just because you are starting over with the codebase |
19:41 | <ln-> | Eddi|zuHause: new people, new policy. |
19:42 | <fjb> | It was just an example how you could have a new design under the hood an stay compatible with the old interface with slots. |
19:42 | <@Belugas> | [20:43] <ln-> i agree that being able to load old games is not important. <--- it is very important, sorry to be against your opinion |
19:43 | <fjb> | Ofcourse it is important when you make updates tp OpenTTD. But not if you start new. Is Locomotion able to read saved games of TT? |
19:43 | <ln-> | fjb: aren't the "cool NewGRFs" limited to 256 colors and the sizes used in TTD? |
19:44 | <Eddi|zuHause> | fjb: is Locomotion as successful as OpenTTD? |
19:44 | <fjb> | They are limited. But if the new games uses more colors, than sprites with 256 colos can still beused. It would be a problem the other way round. |
19:44 | <@Belugas> | fjb, granted |
19:44 | <+glx> | ln-: they "can" use 32bpp colors |
19:45 | <ln-> | semi-offtopic: has there been any USEFUL updates to Locomotion since it was released? |
19:45 | <fjb> | I don't know how successfull Locomotion is. It think it look to much like candy. |

21:17 | <Eddi|zuHause2> | that was always in german, as far as i remember |
21:18 | <Eddi|zuHause2> | i mean, also in episodes 4-6 [new count] |
21:18 | <ln-> | on DVD that was implemented using angles. |
21:18 | <ln-> | (the angle feature used on a non-porn disc!) |
21:19 | <Eddi|zuHause2> | haha :p |
21:19 | <Eddi|zuHause2> | i don't have any dvds |
21:20 | <fjb> | I didn't know that anybody used it... |
21:21 | <ln-> | i think angles were somehow utilized in the extras as well. |
21:23 | <ln-> | another interesting thing with the Ep1 DVD was its price policy. |
21:23 | <Eddi|zuHause2> | well, it's difficult to use such a feature for a film originally intended to be shown linearily in a cinema |
21:23 | <ln-> | when it was new, the DVD cost something close to 40€. |

21:24 | <Eddi|zuHause2> | are they insane? |
21:24 | <Eddi|zuHause2> | i can rent an entire cinema for that price |
21:24 | <ln-> | however, if you ordered it from Australia, you got it delivered to your mailbox for about 22€. |
21:25 | <Eddi|zuHause2> | i should go to bed |
21:25 | <ln-> | and that Australian version *was* R2,R4, and it *did* have subtitles in scandinavian languages. |
21:27 | <ln-> | same content for half the price if you order it from the other side of the globe. does that compute? |
21:30 | <fjb> | Its all about transportation... :-) |
21:32 | <fjb> | Shit, I have been cought bribing. :-( |
