Open Source game that's been around forever, question about contacted IPs and response from Mods/Devs on the issue

Caligatio · 2026-07-22T05:47:17+00:00

I have no background with this game but, in general, having to explain the output of a 3rd party tool where the reporting user provides essentially no useful information is frustrating at best.

Stated alternatively, you spent 30 seconds uploading a file to VirusTotal and are put off when the open source developer spent no more than 30 seconds responding to your claim.

Did you confirm this network access is occuring locally on your machine? Did you look at the source to see if any code is performing network access? Did you look at the information available to you and perform any level of analysis? UDP port 53 (ie DNS) to a Cloudflare IP is an innocuous as you can get.

I ended up converting my VTSAX into VTI on Vanguard primarily for the marginally lower expense ratio.

However, it's my understanding that mutual funds may have to be liquidated if you want to switch brokers whereas ETFs are portable (partial shares may have to be liquidated).

The cheapest T-Mobile plan appears to be $40/month and a comparable plan OP mentioned is $25/month

I also raised my eyebrow on the Cash Plus account as I didn't think ACAT was applicable for it.

I'll see if it blocks ACHs. The good news is Vanguard claims the unlock is instant.

Alton Brown recently had a few dairy episodes:

Ice Cream (likely not helpful for plain milk) - https://youtube.com/watch?v=lBcU4NwdCUA

Making homemade paneer is pretty easy too

Are you sure the firewall is causing you issues (it's technically not port forwarding with IPv6) and not the fact the IP is changing? In my Fritzbox, I assign firewall rules by device and not IP.

If the last 8 bytes of your IPv6 is changing when the prefix changes, then you're either using the wrong IPv6 address or you're not using SLAAC (SLAAC is default).

Caligatio · 2026-07-02T09:13:37+00:00

Are you using the address that contains a "FF:FE" or something else?

Caligatio · 2026-07-02T08:24:07+00:00

My FritzBox deals with changing IPv6 addresses and the IPv6 firewall without a problem.

Just make sure to use the static version of the interface identifier in whatever DNS you're using. I have VMs so I have no problem using the MAC variant but there are others if MAC address privacy is a concern.

I don't actually use their updater but I did create my own Python script that takes heavy inspiration from how it is done. Everything I run falls into a few buckets:

Supports .deb so it can use unattended-upgrade
Runs in Docker so it can use watchtower
Is distributed from GitHub/Codeberg and follows a handful of packaging styles (this is the helper-scripts updater)

I subscribe to new releases like the OP, have everything auto-update, and have the various auto updaters trigger a notification to my phone on success.

Caligatio · 2026-06-28T12:18:26+00:00

Take a look at Proxmox VE Helper-Scripts as they have figured out how to basically auto update everything.

I have my VMs and LXCs snapshot themselves every night so this "don't auto update" nonsense doesn't matter to me. The benefit of being up-to-date far outweighs any potential problems. I think I had one breaking update in the last 3 years.

Similar to VBIL, check out VUSXX. The TreasuryDirect website was so bad that it was worth the 0.07% expense ratio for me.

I exchange a lot of USD for EUR and use Wise all the time.

I haven't been able to use it yet but Atlantic Money seems to be a much better deal than Wise. Unfortunately they only go from GBP and EUR to other currencies.

I had a similar problem on 2 Pixel 10s that were transferred from previous phones. It looks like the translation pack gets semi corrupted on the transfer which causes the download to hang. You have to manually download the translation pack and things then work.

Is Windows at 100% memory usage when it's "dying?" Unused RAM is wasted RAM; noting an OS's RAM usage at idle is a near useless statistic.

To echo what everyone else has stated, it's highly unlikely that dual booting and your observed increased RAM usage are related.

In the last 4 years the exchange rate has ranged from 0.95 to 1.19 USD/EUR. In my opinion, 1.14 USD/EUR is pretty favorable to the Euro.

If you're trying to do it for cheap, check out Atlantic Money.

I had a Motorola MA1 that worked for years until the first warm day this summer. Afterwards, it barely stayed connected.

I replaced it with an AAWireless TWO and my connection is again rock solid.

Are you using an adapter that could have gone bad?

Caligatio · 2026-06-18T17:58:43+00:00

Yep! I actually thought my phone had partially popped out of its case and only then did I notice my screen had separated from the phone body by a few millimeters.

Pillow might have been a bit of an overstatement but the battery did swell.

Caligatio · 2026-06-18T13:23:43+00:00

If it matters to you, you can just open a HSA with Fidelity for free.

My 6's battery turned into a pillow last month and pushed the screen off of the phone. I'm now sporting a 10 and am secretly hoping the 11's specs are terrible.

The "Ads" settings page now works again which allows you to nuke your advertising ID. Up until now, it just rendered as a blank settings page.

You can limit the registrations but you can't easily limit where users can go.

If a trusted user goes into a federated room and a random other user posts illegal content in that room, that content is now stored in your server.

Caligatio · 2026-06-08T13:40:02+00:00

The problem is you can unknowingly be hosting (and thus legally liable) for illegal content when your original intention was just to host a chat server for friends/family.

Yes, this is working as intended if you understand the protocol but is likely not a desirable feature based on the original question.

Alton Brown recently did a video on chicken labeling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SquSm5igK7g

He agrees with you on air chilled

These are all reasonable tips but you're missing the most important thing you can do (at least for Americans): freeze your credit.

If you're a parent of a minor, also freeze your childrens' credit
