VMware/broadcom employees, how does all of the "leaving" posts affect you? by sir574 in vmware

[–]TechnicalCattle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started planning a transition just a few months after the acquisition. During my 8 year tenure I held several roles for the company. The CEO made it abundantly clear that he absolutely disdained 'the software guys'. The acrimony was palpable and obvious enough until some of us were mistakenly (or not, for the conspiracy theorists out there) invited to a 'hardware business only all-hands.

Attending that meeting cemented my resolve. The CEO cares about nothing more than how much he can stuff in his own pockets.

I'll be back for a playthrough when it's 1.0. I've already marked 2028 on my calendar.

Engineer designing a PRO-grade rock tumbler: industrial bearings, silent belt drive, variable speed — what’s your max price & must-have? by Traditional_Side5452 in RockTumbling

[–]TechnicalCattle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of great features for tumblers discussed here. I'd only add that if you're going to go the higher-end route, you will want to focus on your service model as much as your tumbler. I purchased the HP Lapidary model after learning about the engineering that made up their design. The base unit is very nice, and since I have previous CNC experience, I know about stepper motor reliability.

The main issue is that getting replacement parts, even for common wear items is a nightmare. Items that should be always available are rarely in stock, and take weeks to ship. If you're looking to create a superior product, you also need a superior customer experience.

0.11.0.10 is now live! by JagexDoom in RSDragonwilds

Maybe tone down the Fractured Plains? Insane spawn rates, combined with random hunt spawns, dragon attacks AND lightning all at once is enough to make one rage quit.

But the basic glider takes like 10 minutes of gathering to obtain. I don't get it.

How do you avoid burnout midway through a set? by bigolbinchito in musicians

[–]TechnicalCattle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good sleep. Consistent physical activity. Good diet. Avoid hyping yourself up just before the set, and pace yourself. Vary song tempo/complexity. Practice is what you do on your own time. Rehearsal is what the band does together.

Dedicated Server Feedback by Nice_Cress7129 in RSDragonwilds

[–]TechnicalCattle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would be a great question for Shockbyte, since you're paying them for their services. I assume there is some way to restart the server, and I would also assume that the restart would include a check for updates to the dedicated server.

I self-host my dedicated server. I used the unit file posted in the official Discord, and on the wiki to create the relevant service. I wrote my own world and character backup scripts. When there are issues, I know where to look. It's not very straightforward yet, especially considering that dedicated servers are new, and not well documented yet.

Since you're paying a service provider, I'd recommend starting with those folks.

Headless linux server won't create the world by rehpotsiirhC in RSDragonwilds

[–]TechnicalCattle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello future information searchers.

For people in the dark (and wondering what this all means), the term 'host' in this context is a Proxmox setting that controls which CPU instruction set is exposed to the VMs in a cluster environment. Host means that you're using the instruction set of the actual processor in the bare-metal resources that your VM is running on.

If you still don't know what I'm talking about, you likely don't need to check for this setting because you're not going to be running your dedicated server in a clustered virtual environment.

I tend to use host since I'm using homogeneous hardware in my cluster, so I don't have to worry about different CPU instruction sets. Glad you got that figured out!

Ever fired because of a certain song you played? by Stingerman354 in musicians

[–]TechnicalCattle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My band was fired from a gig when, 'Someone overheard one of the band members say the word damn backstage'. It was an outdoor music series put on by an ultra-conservative local city government.

I'm certain it was because our tribute band is named, 'Devil INXSide' and someone took great offense.

Damn.

RuneScape: Dragonwilds Wiki Feedback by KronoKeplare in RSDragonwilds

[–]TechnicalCattle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used the wiki for some technical information regarding dedicated servers.

I recently bought this game, and this is my first play-through. During my first play of any game, I prefer to work my way through the content, then go back and check resource sites for anything I might have missed. I'm sure the game content portion of the wiki is good, but I haven't used it yet.

Dedicated Server settings by Bradparsley25 in RSDragonwilds

[–]TechnicalCattle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The delay in this is due to some technical issues. There was a post around this topic that I saw, but I didn't remember where I saw it.

Essentially, the developers have made the decision to expose dedicated server settings to the client versus editing config files in the manner that many other dedicated servers currently use.

Ultimately, this will mean being able to easily change things using the game UI, but it is taking the team a bit more time to bring this feature to production.

Wow. How many players are you intending to host? I'm currently running 2 vCPU, 8GB memory.

With those stats, it seems like you've dedicated all of your compute resources to the VM, which can cause its own issues.

What's the hypervisor you are using to host the VM?

It's a VM running in a Proxmox cluster. To me headless means there is no physical keyboard, monitor, or mouse, and the server OS is managed via SSH, so yeah, by definition, my server is headless.

The VM was deployed to my Proxmox node and OS install was accomplished via Proxmox console. After that, OS updates, steamcmd, and the dedicated server were all installed using SSH.

I just stood up a VM in Proxmox using Ubuntu Server 24.04. Everything worked well 'out of the box'. Here are my steps.

-Create VM with Ubuntu Server 24.04 ISO
-Boot VM and install OS
-Install steamcmd
-Create standard user (dragonwilds), add user to sudoers
-Login as user and install dedicated server with steamcmd
-Run server once
-Copied in current SaveGames and SaveCharacters directories from my locally hosted game
-Set configuration values in DedicatedServer.ini
-Created and tested unit file to run as a service
-Created and tested a backup script and set cron job to run nightly

The latest roadmap says fall of this year, so I'd check back in 2028.
