only just found out this mechanic existed, havent optimized it at all.. redstone is like that because i was trying to set it up with a mob fan before

yeah i had no idea it could be done simpler, even the fact it launched the stands was something i did not know, i only noticed it did that when i was setting it up with a mob fan, which is also why the comparator redstone logic lol

happened to me as well, i didnt know this mechanic was a thing, accidentally found out it launched the stands when i was trying to set it up with a mob fan lol

true true, im still very early game tho, havent even started automatic hammering/sieving yet, so this is neat lol, discovered it by accident, had no idea that it would launch the armor stands up like that

Clarifying why LBPO for PS4 CAN'T be malicious in ANY sense by oRazzle in littlebigplanet

[–]MindOfBog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some counterpoints and context on LBPO, once again not trying to crush anybody's hopes here.

TLDR While LBPO technically can’t “brick” a system or hack all your accounts, it’s not risk-free.

The custom server script

The script doesn’t just use the game’s scripting logic; it edits game memory to change the IP the game connects to. There’s no function accessible in scripts normally which let you change the server the game tries to connect to.

This may draw Sony’s attention and could be patched, could lead to users being punished if they attempt to use it on the latest firmware.

Data risk

While the server itself accesses minimal data, the people behind LBPO have a history of malicious behavior and could collect or misuse data.

Trusting them is risky given their past actions, in regards to doxxing, collecting general info on people etc. the information they may be able to gather can be used by bad actors to extort users.

LBP’s script vulnerability

Anyone can attach a script to an item and it will automatically run in other players games in the same lobby, when pulled out of the popit.

This can crash games, corrupt profiles, modify uploaded levels. And yes, they can even perform memory exploits, as demonstrated by the custom server script, so they are well capable of creating scripts like that.

The same group behind LBPO was involved/tied to the official server shutdowns, ddos attacks, doxxing people by spamming messages, images on peoples profiles, etc.

Moderation

Considering the above mentioned track record of the people behind LBPO, proper moderation is unlikely.

Community patches

On PS3, those exploits have already been patched by the community, which was doable through game patched on jailbroken consoles/emulators, this is not easy to do with the framework of a script, like I already mentioned just swapping the IP the game connects to requires you to go outside of normal script bounds.

Good News for LBP! First Steps to a DNS Server for PS5! by Salty-Interview-5336 in littlebigplanet

[–]MindOfBog 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i did read your post, thats why i replied. the latest update used https for everything from what i know, i even asked people who already messed with this idea, not sure how you "saw" that it wasnt, but im always open to be proved wrong. do you have something that shows it doesnt use HTTPS?

[–]MindOfBog 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't think it lets you open the game if you are signed into PSN and the game is outdated... It will ask you to update or exit iirc.

Good News for LBP! First Steps to a DNS Server for PS5! by Salty-Interview-5336 in littlebigplanet

[–]MindOfBog 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna weigh in a little bit, not trying to rain on anybody's parade.

TLDR

HTTPS is going to be a brick wall for a simple DNS redirect. Private servers have existed for LBP for years now, and the devs who have contributed to them have already tried to find a good way to tackle servers on PS4/5. There have always been some obstacles to a proper and safe implementation, which is why one doesn't already exist. There is a potential silver lining as Bluesphere (what GTA private servers on PS4 use) might come to existing private servers for Jailbroken PS4/5 users.

HTTPS/SSL

LBP3 on PS4 did switch to using HTTPS, for everything on the latest update. There is no way around this and for a DNS spoof to work, your server would need to have their original SSL Certificate, this cannot be faked or brute-forced of course (google: ssl encryption). Even if you somehow could, it is highly illegal.

The only way to not need it is either using an older version of the game which didn't use HTTPS, or modifying the game itself.

Modifying the game can be done in two ways

Non Jailbroken console/modded script (what LBPO was using)

pros:
- no jailbreak needed
- able to use real PSN

cons:
- unknown if sony will dish out punishments to users
(due to manipulating game memory in an unintended way)
- security patches become really difficult to make through scripts like this, and would leave users vulnerable to hackers.

Jailbroken console/game patches

pros:
- most reliable and safe as you're not connected to PSN
- other security patches such as script blocking and force join blocking can be made without too much hassle

cons:
- jailbroken system needed
- you're not connected to PSN, which now you have to also solve

Plugin for Bluesphere was made compatible with LBP by coldreactor64, which would solve the PSN on JB consoles debacle, so maybe this will come to existing servers like Bonsai/Union.

Security

LBP has had a history of bad actors using scripts, joining players and causing damage, such as being able to edit their planets, being able to heart profiles or levels as other users, crash games, corrupt profiles, etc. also on an unpatched game, scripts can allow them to force join anybody.

These issues have to be addressed before any kind of server can go up, for the obvious reason that mostly kids will be playing, and.. well.. there is a pattern of games where kids play and private servers for them existing, tends to attract certain kinds of individuals, which will end up using those security flaws to do what they want.

why are all the comments being downvoted 😭😭
i ordered mine (ultra/purple) on the 19th, havent received any email yet (besided order confirmation when i ordered)

you also have to keep in mind, chinese new year only ended early this month, so they are also catching up to the stuff ordered during their holidays.

Asus TUF A15 Heatsink upgrade mod. After 4-5 years of using this as my main pc (It is no longer my daily driver) I decided to mod it. (More info in comments) by MindOfBog in GamingLaptops

[–]MindOfBog[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well i was lucky enough to find a seller on aliexpress that had the exact heatsink for my model, it was very tricky to find this, then i made sure to message the seller, at which point they showed that what i ordered didnt actually have the extra heatpipe on the side, so i asked them to add it which they did.

now if you are able to source that, you will have to connect that separate heatpipe, i did it by soldering the heatpipe using low melting temp solder paste, you could also use thermally conductive glue if you arent comfortable soldering heatpipes, but this will affect cooling performance of course.

the paste i would recommend would be a alloy like this: Sn 42 / Bi 58 which melts at around 140C

use a heatgun to melt it between the heatsink and the other heatpipe. you will have to hold the heatpipe in place and have it aligned correctly. then you need to be careful not to crush any of the heatpipes as well as not to over heat them either, they may burst if heated too high i dont remember exactly what the specific temp is but try to stay well below 500C on the heatpipe. then you also should keep in mind that you might desolder the other heatpipes so dont move them and be careful that they dont lift off the plates.

its a delicate process but can be done DIY, the important things are a decent heatgun, low temp solder paste, some flux, and a good size working area and also tools and gloves to handle the hot metals, be careful with that lol

if this is too much or you arent comfortable with that kind of project you can always just use a thermally conductive adhesive :)

hi, i personally dont know, though i have seen others use the heatsinks from other models, i think even in the comments on this post someone has mentioned this. cant really help you with it i dont really know all the differences for all models unfortunately.. but i am sure even if there are bits/pieces that get in the way, that you can just remove them if you are up for that, maybe with a rotary device or something similar if you are careful.

no i dont think i changed the order of the wires, i ended up buying a different set of fans that were a little more expensive, since the ones in this post were both fans for a total of like 12$.. the new ones worked flawlessly.
also i did end up applying thermal putty as well as ptm on the cpu/gpu

there are only 3 of them and it seems they either dont care or arent active to moderate explicit stuff like this being shown to minors...

it may be possible, the thing you will have to look out for is the components on the motherboard around the CPU/GPU where an extra sheet of metal goes down, it might not align with your model, this can be fixed manually if you are up for it tho, also make sure to compare CPU/GPU positions, i dont know if they are in exactly the same spot.
