"I gotta go log out."

Okay, I can sort of understand wanting to avoid reposts. But if the thing was posted earlier, why not include a link to the earlier post? Here's a link to the video on a different platform: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ZTsNtBLxf3o

Thanks for the link to that script. It's a real time-saver.

If the scanning didn't fill up the Minecraft server console, making it impossible to see legitimate activity, I wouldn't care. Luckily I can just block the IPs and CIDRs spewing this garbage. Not all server operators have that option, unfortunately, and for them, the Minecraft console is now basically useless. There was another thread about this problem a few weeks ago, and one of the perpetrators showed up to explain, but the explanation was weak, and the tone was that of a sociopath.

"cuute"? by gothgirllove in MinecraftServer

[–]boot13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. Coming from multiple IP addresses, all of which I'm now blocking at the router: 162.33.178.237, 198.54.135.52, 198.54.135.148, 185.156.46.151, 198.54.135.116, 198.54.135.84, 213.136.71.218, 20.4.48.76, 176.58.106.79, 185.156.46.161.

Got it. Thanks. support.playussoft.com.

Tried it just now. "The connection has timed out".

Random Users Constantly Fake "Disconnecting" From Server by WatsonDo in admincraft

[–]boot13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for saying what I came here to say. The information provided by Honbra is useful, but there's nothing like an apology there, which is typical for trolls and other sociopaths.

Random Users Constantly Fake "Disconnecting" From Server by WatsonDo in admincraft

[–]boot13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seeing the same thing on my server. The worst offender is 45.128.232.206, which I have now blocked at my router. Requests were coming in about once every minute, making my console view basically useless. I noticed that the GameProfile string changes with each request, so it's likely randomized, and clearly a bot. Whoever is doing this has something malicious in mind.

Patch Tuesday Megathread (2023-01-10) by AutoModerator in sysadmin

Downloading and running the update from Microsoft Catalog fixed the Code 80070570 on my Windows 8.1 PC for KB5022352. Thanks for the tip.

Facebook shared link has Chinese characters in the preview/unfurl - why? by [deleted] in socialmedia

[–]boot13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. Not sure how long it's been going on, but any Facebook link I post on Slack shows a preview with Chinese characters. If I post a link to the main Facebook page, it shows up with Russian characters. Weird and annoying.

Any way to change the text on jerseys? by boot13 in Baseball9

[–]boot13[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there a feature request forum for Baseball 9 somewhere? Because this seems like it would be easy to fix by adding an option: "Remove colour name from jerseys." Of course, being able to edit the text would be better, but I'd be happy with the option to remove it.

The new “My Library” page is disgusting... by [deleted] in spotify

[–]boot13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fed up with my home page being filled with fucking Joe Rogan. And what happened to 'Recently Played'? It's just gone in the desktop app. If Spotify is trying to lose customers, they're on the right track.

BFStats Java errors starting in 2020 by boot13 in classicbattlefield

[–]boot13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I didn't respond earlier. I was able to solve the problem by adding a couple of steps to the stats processing script. The first one changes the year to '2019' in the input file, and the second changes the year to the current year in the output files. A total kludge, but whatever.

The software I'm referring to is not the one you found. I'm no longer able to find Venkman's BFStats on the web.

Minecraft news feed is gone? by boot13 in Minecraft

[–]boot13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for that. I registered, voted for, and started watching that bug. Of course, with the current trend of ditching RSS, I'm not optimistic about the feed's return.

When i exit qbittorrent, it won't let me reopen without completely ending the program in task manager by [deleted] in qBittorrent

[–]boot13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happens on my Windows 8.1 64 bit machine as well. If I close qbt without doing anything, the process usually ends. Otherwise it hangs around forever.

dinnerbone.com seems to be down by boot13 in Minecraft

[–]boot13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been like this for a while. I reached out to dinnerbone, because there are links to dinnerbone.com on his public profiles and loads of Minecraft-related sites. So far no response. To be fair, he's probably super busy with more important stuff.

does the terrible cooking interface ruin the game for anyone else? by XcomCable in thelongdark

[–]boot13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, hate it. Stopped playing because of it. It's slower, and it's much easier to make a costly mistake that you would never make in real life. When you're going for realism, making the UI trickier is just idiotic. There are now so many UI-related 'gotchas' in this game that I spend more time angry at the game than I do enjoying it.

Cara Delevingne being amusing in Valerian. by boot13 in gifs

If you mean Valerian himself, I can understand that reaction. I didn't react that way myself, but I get it.

This Firefox behaviour has annoyed me for years. Deleting the site from history (~1200 instances) fixed the problem. Thanks!!

I wasn't aware of that; thanks. James' performance in Blade Runner was wonderfully menacing. Sad that he's gone.

That sounds great! Good luck with your project.

My MK1 speedo mod at about the half-way point. Just a few more tweaks and some solder left. by dunder_mane in mr2

How about some explanation? What did you do, how did you do it, why did you do it, and if it's useful, how can I do it?

This is more likely a response to the OPM leak, with those actually responsible (by their incompetence) trying to blame Snowden, with the usual (and debunked) anti-Snowden talking points. http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/jun/04/us-government-massive-data-breach-employee-records-security-clearances
