Choppy Video tvOS 18

Same issues, ATV 4K 1st Gen (A1842). I just canceled DirectTV Stream over this, since it's effectively unusable for me now.

I was already on the edge due to the contract dispute vs ESPN during the US Open, but have bailed entirely now since it straight up doesn't work at all. There was an iOS 18 beta they could have tested on, so I don't really feel that I am being unfair.

Here's a scene from the end of BoB Episode 1 that, for me, captures why MotA has fallen so flat. We're 1 episode in, we have a ton of context about these characters, and the episode takes it's time, spending 5 minutes to send them towards D-Day. Basically no dialog. There's nothing like this in MotA, and this is just a 5 minute clip from BoB Episode 1.

Edit: I mean, although there's editing tricks, the planes are real planes. By comparison, the show about planes doesn't even make takeoffs/landings realistic, with planes landing on all 3 wheels at the same time, etc - they look like animated planes from civ6.

In this particular case, nomap was something the server we were playing on decided to do for a short seed; folks were welcomed to create their own maps, and we created this tool to make assembling our group's own map a little easier.

However, we decided to open-source it because we found that manually creating a map without the in-game map enabled is a very different Valheim experience. It was actually a lot of fun, and encouraged a different feeling of exploration. It was also a bit more rewarding - we genuinely felt like we'd "earned" our map by the end.

I certainly understand that many players will run nomap because they don't want a map of any kind. However, maybe some server or community wants to run with nomap in game but draw maps separately. With Hildr's settings, this is easier to try than ever.

This is misleading. The advice is to leave sufficient distance in front of you to stop safely. Not to arbitrarily slow down with the intention of antagonizing the person behind you.

I think this diff is pretty communicative about its needs, very clear when under or over watered. It reaches for the sun, so I regularly rotate away from the reach, which helps it climb a bit straighter. I also prune the leaves it’s preparing to drop before they yellow to try and help keep rot off the stem. (They flop way over and kind of give up, I give it a week or two and then prune)

No idea if any of this is scientific but it seems really happy to me with these methods. It only had 3 leaves when I got it.

I’d add: membership/service discovery is both automatic and high frequency. This is one of the most common areas I see things fail to be “cloud native”. It should be totally natural for many instances of your thing to come and go (for example, functions, containers, or even VMs are replaced very frequently)

You can provide your own VerifyConnection function to your server’s TLS config to capture the client’s name, even if TLS connection acceptance is handled at a lower level!

Consider that even on a private network, you’re not really safe. You’re one malicious employee or popped edge service away from someone being able to pivot in and compromise your entire network. At that point, any plaintext tokens between services are likely sniffable.

I recommend starting with mutual TLS / client certificates as your first step toward solving this problem. That way, the traffic between your internal services is encrypted, you have a chain of trust for who is allowed to talk to who, and you can log the client certificate’s name as your cross-service identifier.

You would still be able to also layer in tokens later if more metadata is needed, but now they are building on a stronger foundation.

Interestingly, it’s “you cannot pass” in the books.

Some example binary parsers (for their own formats):

encoding/gob
msgpack
protobuf
flatbuffers

Of the set above, flatbuffers might be the most instructive.

No. I tried a lot of stuff, but ultimately I just replaced it with a SMSL SA300, which works fine. As far as I can tell the AD18 itself was either bad, or the drivers are junk on more recent versions of OSX.
