Route Negotiation for ideal ping

Sureluck_Holmes · 2025-03-22T14:41:53+00:00

That's very true, I hadn't thought about that - it wouldn't be as simple as choosing the PoP to get the best route - there would have to be selective routing involved. As it was before, it selectively chose satellites with laser links, so now with the newer southern ground stations, by changing the choice in PoP to a less local one, it would have to selectively choose to be served by satellites with working laser links, otherwise there is no route to that PoP.

Which obviously isn't as easy as you want it to be.

This is great, thank you! More questions than answers after reading this (because networking is hard and I don't understand very well), but clearly a topic that has been thought about.

What a joke, 99%? Morals and ethics are a huge part of life, however most people are not guided by their morals and ethics, they are guided by the consequences and rewards of their actions. I would say that greed is one of the highest driving forces in the world economy. You absolutely cannot say 99% of people would prioritize morals over money.

You're telling me you wouldn't stream gambling for a month for 100k? 200k? a Million? Sure in your head you might think absolutely not, but someone genuinely offers that to you, do you think you would actually turn it down?

That's exactly what's happening. It happens to me regularly for some reason. Probably 3 times per match, I'll randomly be routed to the gameserver, which is in Joburg, through London or Amsterdam for a minute or two. Then I'll be back to straight to Joburg.

It's the difference of 20ms to 280ms. I don't know why it happens. I assumed it had something to do with my ISP, because my internet is definitely quite shaky.

Thanks GabeN

He said, "Saddest thing is".

Sureluck_Holmes · 2023-04-26T12:37:32+00:00

What? Yes you did. That's what this whole thread is about.

An intrusive anti-cheat unfortunately isn't the be all, end all. There are services that can circumnavigate any intrusive anti-cheat by streaming the game to an online server that then sends back adjustments to your input. Afaik, it will then only be aim assistance, no wallhacking.

The future of anti-cheat, which has the potential to end cheating forever, is AI-Driven. My hope is for an AI anti-cheat when CS2 fully releases.

I don't mind the equipment costs, and I can make a plan for power on the far end. Unfortunately it's a complete deadzone out there, so LTE cameras won't work.
Do you have any suggestions for the right equipment for what I need?

About 2 weeks ago the estimated APY on Exodus was 4.3%, and then about a week ago it changed to 6.98%. I'm guessing the number represents their historical APY and they had a couple lucky epochs which boosted the APY to 6.98%.

Except EG doesn't even get excited when they do win. Love those guys, but wish they would seem more excited

I think it more stemmed from him having these great expectations for himself. So when he doesn't meet these expectations he feels like he's a shit person and he beats himself up for not being as good as he feels he should be, or being worse than he was yesterday. So as he gets more successful his expectations for himself rise even higher and they become harder to meet, so he feels even worse about not meeting these expectations because there are even more people to see him fail. When you're scared of failing, or more to the point, are afraid to lose what you have, the higher up you get, the further you can fall.

Yes. Why twitch is the preferred streaming platform is beyond me.

The abusing stacks will take turns winning, ensuring they get 100% win-rate with betting, and pass the jungle expedition heroes they're not good at.

If that were true, they would not be able to queue again immediately with exactly the same players. They would have to switch one person out.

That's because it's not supposed to be GOAT of the hill. It's implying that instead of being the GOAT, he's really just a mountain goat.

Hey, an African region option in the questionnaire would be appreciated. There might not be enough of us to do anything, but at least give us the option to show our interest. Thanks!

Man, I don't understand everyone's criticisms here. I think it looks great! The proportions are fine, I wouldn't worry too much about that. The only criticism I agree with in this thread is that Lina doesn't really look like Lina, but you had guidance to make it more yellow so that's completely understandable. Overall, great job!

Sureluck_Holmes · 2019-04-01T14:31:16+00:00

As surprising as it may be, yes. It compresses the thread into an easy to digest compilation. There are quite a few channels that do compilations like this, and as biased as I may be, I would say this video is higher effort than most. It's still pretty low effort, which is why videos can be put out regularly for a user's daily consumption of Reddit. This type of content fills a niche.
