I see some news, the servers is go dows on october 1-st? (sorry for my english). Are there admins? How many resource your need? I work at internet provider and have server, IP, and 100 Mb/s chanel. I can give for game it =) 11:58 <@heinrich5991> Sv47: the problems is mostly that we'd need someone who organizes the stuff. and ddnet is often hit with huge ddos attacks, e.g. "50gbit/s udp flood" 11:58 <@heinrich5991> I'm not an official resource on that though 12:07 < Sv47> ohh.. its so big traffic... its amazing ddos attack to small game) soon Ill be have 1Gb/s chanel, and I think the servers firewall can block it without big lags. But the problem if DDNet is shutdown forever =( 12:09 < Nimda> run_dragon by LordSkelethom just released on Race at 2015-09-26 12:00 12:09 < Nimda> run_dude by Ubu just released on Race at 2015-09-26 12:00 12:09 <@heinrich5991> you probably can't block such a ddos attack with a firewall, but I'm no expert here 12:09 <@heinrich5991> eeeee: ^ 12:24 < Sv47> I can block the IP or ports, if it not help I have the "rights" to call the head-provider or the RIPE to ban the ddos IP forever, I was has problems with ddos-ers but not that big =) 12:44 < sdsdfsdf> >>ban the ddos IP forever 12:45 < sdsdfsdf> xD 12:45 < sdsdfsdf> it's botnet usually not one server 12:46 < Sv47> botnet yes... its many IPs but its to easy to blick 12:46 < Sv47> block* 12:47 < sdsdfsdf> okay) 12:49 < Sv47> ok. On monday I try to speek with my friend and think what we can to do for server to dont lost the powerfull tee project =) 16:21 < Ac1dBeef> > I can block the IP or ports, if it not help I have the "rights" to call the head-provider or the RIPE to ban the ddos IP forever, I was has problems with ddos-ers but not that big =) 16:24 < Ac1dBeef> if you have control over you bgp announces and can do flowspec, you'll probably handle attacks, but if you don't it will be no difference from regular collocation. 16:29 < EastByte> deen: http://forum.ddnet.tw/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2347&start=70#p26052 16:29 < EastByte> so there is an offer to take over maintenance 16:31 < BeaR_> EastByte: there is? 16:32 <@EastByte> there is not? 16:32 < BeaR_> u mean fifi or gr33nt3a? 16:33 <@EastByte> gr33nt3a and fifi wants to help, if I understand correctly 16:34 < Ac1dBeef> If you need someone with unix admiinstration background, I can handle maintanance of servers. 16:55 < niora> Hello 16:55 < BeaR_> hi \o 16:56 < niora> i heard from a friend that the servers will stop 16:57 < BeaR_> niora: indeed, the full post can be found here http://forum.ddnet.tw/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2344 16:58 < niora> i and im a sys admin and hacker i mostly focus on linux and making high performance server systems for banks 16:58 < BeaR_> maybe some people will take over ddnet or start a new project (: 16:59 < niora> so who is responsible for the servers i can talk to 16:59 < BeaR_> currently deen is still in responsibilty 17:00 < niora> cool thx 17:00 < BeaR_> you can also write a post on the forum, but well 17:01 < tyurd> hi, any idea to fix this error? compiling using linux. http://hastebin.com/odasowawep.vbs 17:01 < WolfAlex> niora: so you are to blame if my bank goes down ? like every weekend? :D 17:02 < niora> my i ask at which bank you are? 17:02 < WolfAlex> Postbank (frankfurt) ._. 17:02 < niora> no im not responsyble for it 17:02 < tyurd> xd 17:03 < WolfAlex> oh ok :( 17:03 < tyurd> where are you from niora? 17:03 < niora> Austria 18:59 <@deen> EastByte: never seen either on ddnet 18:59 <@deen> wouldn't want to give the project to some random people 19:00 <@deen> EastByte: there are many other offers by 11 year olds or people that have never played on DDNet 19:02 < Ac1dBeef> deen: will it be problem if i am playing ddnet for only 2 weeks? 19:02 <@deen> Ac1dBeef: sure, who guarantees me that you won't just stop working on ddnet in 2 months? 19:03 < Ac1dBeef> well ok, no questions then 19:07 < laxa> deen: how long do you think it would take to setup a server for ddnet only without any extern connection and no website (juste game servers with actual records and scripts) 19:07 <@deen> laxa: don't understand the question 19:07 < laxa> just the game servers as they run right now, with DB 19:08 <@deen> they are set up already, what's the problem? 19:08 < laxa> Well 19:09 <@deen> I'm currently setting one up, and did so yesterday as well 19:09 < laxa> They'll go down on the 1st octomber 19:09 < laxa> if I get a root server, how much time/work is needed to get just a set of ddnet servers running with current records and everything working as right now 19:10 <@deen> dunno, 30min? 19:10 < laxa> well ok 19:10 < laxa> This is just a script to run right ? 19:10 <@deen> no 19:10 <@deen> there is no script, i do it by hand 19:10 < laxa> Hm ok 19:10 < laxa> Well 19:10 < laxa> I can make you some offer then 19:10 < laxa> I have no intention of keeping the actual ddnet alive 19:11 < laxa> but I'd like to run "ddnet" in France for example 19:11 <@deen> yeah, i noticed that people REALLY love the idea of running their own ddnet servers now 19:11 < laxa> I just have not the time to deal with some huge servers network 19:11 < laxa> if you want 19:11 < laxa> just remove all servers and let just GER run 19:12 < laxa> or something 19:12 < laxa> but you want everything to keep running as I understood 19:12 <@deen> of course, just running GER would be ridiculous 19:12 < laxa> Well 19:12 <@deen> same amount of work, but no servers worldwide 19:13 < laxa> No one has the time / experience to make DDNet run as it is right now :( 19:13 < Ac1dBeef> i think the main problem are not servers, but continuation of client/server development. 19:13 < laxa> Ac1dBeef: that's actually not needed 19:13 < Ac1dBeef> why& 19:13 < Ac1dBeef> ? 19:13 < laxa> only if critical bug/exploit 19:13 < laxa> ddnet servers and clients are in production 19:13 <@deen> I just want a single person I can trust to give server rights to 19:14 <@deen> how that person keeps the servers running, with help of multiple people, that's their choice 19:14 < laxa> Well 19:14 <@deen> so all these people i've never heard of proposing to help don't really help here 19:14 < laxa> If no one in this channel is interested doing so, don't think no one would be suitable then :( 19:15 < Ac1dBeef> if game is not improved, it dies. everybody can run a server, but to make releases a core team or authoritative maintainer is needed. 19:15 <@deen> right, that was my conclusion and why i shut down the servers 19:15 <@deen> and now they want to make a public search for someone, which is ridiculous 19:16 <@deen> shutting down ddnet feels like more work than keeping it running... 19:16 < laxa> Dunno what is time consuming about running ddnet without doing anymore developments 19:17 <@deen> also, some admin is deleting messages in the forum of people saying they can help keep ddnet running, that's weird to say the least 19:17 < Ac1dBeef> deen: aren't there any people willing to take over project, whom you trust? 19:17 <@deen> Ac1dBeef: nope 19:17 <@deen> laxa: talking to 100 people every day, making sure the servers run perfectly, fixing server bugs, setting up new servers 19:18 < Ac1dBeef> at all? nobody showed any will? 19:18 < laxa> deen: most of it is not especially the root admin job 19:18 < laxa> I am talking really server side work to do 19:19 < laxa> My mind right now if I take care of ddnet/"my ddnet servers": it run autonosmouly, I have to take care of nothing except when real problems are there : ddos/server died/crashs/db problems etc 19:20 <@deen> laxa: well, that would be nice 19:20 <@deen> but people come nagging me about DDNet all day long 19:20 < laxa> that's why I am not interested in taking care of ddnet : to me it sounds like it needs too much work : especially cause you have 10 servers connected to each other 19:20 < laxa> deen: find a head that'll take of ddnet community 19:20 < laxa> *take care 19:20 <@deen> laxa: well, didn't find anyone 19:21 < laxa> taking care of ddnet project and doing root admin work are 2 things completely different 19:21 < laxa> I am sure someone like Onion might be interested in doing the Project management/community thing 19:21 < Ac1dBeef> laxa: if deen wants to pass ddnet to single person, his repsonsibility is not to continue doing everything alone, but to organize development of ddnet. If He is capable of doing all job alone, it's ok, if not - then he's duty is to assemble good team. 19:21 < laxa> and having someone like EastByte or anyone else keeping the servers running 19:21 <@deen> laxa: Onion has maybe 30-60 minutes of time per day 19:22 < Ac1dBeef> so this person does not really have to be a programmer of admin at all 19:22 < Ac1dBeef> he have to be 1. trusted; 2. good organizer 19:22 < laxa> It should already be enough 19:22 <@deen> anyway, this discussion is useless 19:22 <@deen> laxa: if we run ddnet like that with "30 minutes a day is enough" then I rather want it shut donw 19:22 < laxa> if it's not, you can make a FAQ or ticket solution 19:23 < laxa> That's why I am asking about the standalone 'ddnet' server 19:23 < Ac1dBeef> deen: "30 minuted per day" was told generally in context of server's maintanance (it's really almost enough for that). 19:23 < laxa> You complain about people wanting to run 'ddnet' on their own, but, no one is suitable to make things exactly like you'd like them to be 19:24 < laxa> I see that as our only choice to keep playing DDRace/Teeworlds actually 19:24 < Ac1dBeef> at first it'll be needed to spend some time, but then maintanance won't take much of it. 19:24 < laxa> Like you deen, I'd better see your project running like you did 19:27 < laxa> Otherwise, just tell me what choice we have 19:28 < Mahdi> NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I love DDNet. Don't leave 19:28 < Mahdi> :( 19:33 < Ac1dBeef> Is there anyone who plays on ddnet long enough, who is not 11yo :) and have some will to keep ddnet alive, to organize continuation of it's development, to deal with overcoming problems and make a team? 19:33 < laxa> Well 19:33 < laxa> It's going to be simple 19:33 < Ac1dBeef> not really 19:34 < WolfAlex> Ac1dBeef: no there is noone like that 19:34 < laxa> If the 1st october, ddnet goes down, and no one has launched ddnet 19:34 < Ac1dBeef> laxa: see? 19:34 < laxa> I'll make a standalone server 19:34 < laxa> so people can play ddnet 19:35 < Ac1dBeef> laxa: a lot of people will, and that's one of the worst cases. 19:35 < Mahdi> I use DDNet client more than servers 19:35 < laxa> Ac1dBeef: I don't think so 19:35 < Mahdi> It should not go down. It's the best teeworlds client ( even better than the default ) 19:35 < Ac1dBeef> the main problem is continuation of sw development and ratings. 19:35 < Mahdi> And I thought you were getting it on Steam. 19:36 < Ac1dBeef> Mahdi: unlikely with current situation 19:36 < Ac1dBeef> valve won't accept game without responsible team 19:37 < Ac1dBeef> or responsible developer 19:37 < laxa> you don't need development as I said 19:37 < laxa> teeworlds and even ddrace ran for years without any patches/develoment 19:37 < Ac1dBeef> laxa: if nobody will maintain code, it will "rot" and less and less people will play game, so soon servers won't be needed. 19:38 < laxa> you barely know teeworlds 19:38 < laxa> this game has more or less the same amount of players as when I started 19:38 < Ac1dBeef> you barely knows software development :) 19:38 < laxa> 1000 players at peak time 19:38 < laxa> I am a software developper 19:38 < laxa> this is a game 19:38 < laxa> not an application or something 19:39 < laxa> we don't even talk about money or something 19:39 < laxa> we just talk about letting actual players to play 19:39 < Ac1dBeef> for how long could you stop touching your code until there will be no users of it? 19:39 < laxa> I am done with this conversation 19:39 < Ac1dBeef> ok 19:39 < laxa> you seem like a commercial 19:39 < laxa> not a developper 19:39 < Ac1dBeef> well, i am sysadmin 19:40 < Ac1dBeef> so "operational" part is significant to me :) 19:40 < laxa> servers running is enough 19:40 < laxa> deen: that would be enough for 500+ people http://www.online.net/en/dedicated-server/dedibox-classic ? 19:40 < Mahdi> Teeworlds is on steam now and hopefully it means new players and if the players are more the development should be too. And DDNet would have to try to be developed as well... Or maybe I'm just too optimist 19:41 < laxa> We are talking about running ddnet servers, and you are talking about development 19:41 < laxa> that's the least of my current issue with ddnet 19:41 < laxa> deen is not the only one developping for ddnet 19:41 < laxa> you'll hopefully still able to run your client even if ddnet goes down 19:42 < laxa> Lots of applications have little to no more development at some stages 19:42 < laxa> you don't necessarly needs to improve it or add new features 19:42 < Ac1dBeef> laxa: if you look there https://github.com/ddnet/ddnet/graphs/contributors, you'll see that he actually is. 19:42 < laxa> last version of vanilla teeworlds was like 2 years ago or something 19:43 < Mahdi> That's why vanilla Teeworlds is awful and DDNet is NOT 19:43 < laxa> you compare potatoes and carrots 19:43 < Ac1dBeef> latest vanilla teeworlds version was less than year ago and there is upcoming release 19:43 < laxa> that was a minor patch to fix bug 19:43 < Ac1dBeef> and it's is actually developed 19:43 < laxa> no new feature 19:44 < Ac1dBeef> it has about 25+ commits for the last month. 19:45 < Ac1dBeef> and 7 for last week 19:45 < laxa> wow 19:45 < Ac1dBeef> it's enough for small project to think, that it's well maintained 19:45 < laxa> people don't give a fuck about it really 19:45 < laxa> they don't even know what programming or github is 19:46 < Ac1dBeef> but people don't play games, that are not developed at all 19:46 < laxa> This one is 19:46 < laxa> developped 19:46 < laxa> and running for more than 5 years 19:46 < laxa> don't get your point 19:46 < laxa> we are talking about running servers to play on 19:46 < Ac1dBeef> "this" is ddnet or teeworlds? 19:46 < laxa> you are talking about developping new features 19:46 < laxa> both 19:47 < laxa> you don't understand what is opensource apparently 19:47 < Mahdi> vanilla teeworlds is featureless in comparison with DDNet 19:47 < Ac1dBeef> yep, teeeworlds is developed, ddnet won't be if deen quits. 19:47 < laxa> you can't be sure of that, if no major bugs is found, I don't see that as a problem 19:47 < Ac1dBeef> laxa: i understand opensource enough to think that projects usually dies if noone maintains thir code. 19:48 < laxa> Whatever, I am bored of this, I'll open something if no one does 19:48 < Mahdi> It's right that in opensource everybody can develop an app/game but without a development team we're just gonna have different useless versions of the app 19:59 < laxa> deen: will you give forum database to someone ? 20:46 <@deen> laxa: no problem to keep it running 21:10 < eeeee> laxa: i think you should do yourself a favor and just create your own ddrace server. ddnet brand will only bring you more ddos attacks. 21:53 < laxa> eeeee: aaa told me that, I agree 21:53 < laxa> I guess I'll just integrate it as ddracepro.net ^^ 21:54 < laxa> deen: what was your last message the answer to ? 22:54 < laxa> deen: are you here ? :x 23:04 < [pieLover]> any updates on the ending thing? 23:16 < [pieLover]> like the steam greenlighting, how's that going to be effected? 23:18 < Ac1dBeef> [pieLover]: if there wouldn't be any responsible developer or team, valve definitely won't approve game. 23:31 <@heinrich5991> for how long could you stop touching your code until there will be no users of it? 23:31 <@heinrich5991> for a pretty long time, actually 23:31 <@heinrich5991> ddrace wasn't under active development for several years, I think 23:32 < laxa> I told him that 23:32 < laxa> he doesn't understand it
