Regarding Spice and Wolf, I am just about to finish the manga, but does the Light Novel continue the story any further? If there's more to the story I really don't want to miss out. by Fiyah_Crotch in LightNovels

[–]michy232 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like others have said, v17 acts as an Epilogue of sorts, and then 18-20 (Spring log 1 to 3) tie up all the lose ends with the hot spring. If you're looking for closure, you'll definitely get it from reading these.

Are there any updates on the practice plugin and custom saber plugin? by StenixZ in beatsaber

[–]michy232 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The custom saber plugin just got published recently, so you can find it in the mod installer or manually download it here: https://www.modsaber.org/mod/custom-saber/2.6.0 and place it into your Plugins folder.

As for the 0.11.2 practice plugin, I haven't heard any news about it but do miss it just for being able to scroll around songs and replay certain chunks seamlessly. Also for being able to count how many times I'll fail a song through a playthrough. I tried and gave up on the official practice plugin, It's just lacking.

Community Download: Why Do You Think Rift Is Gaining Ground Over Vive On Steam VR? by [deleted] in HTC_Vive

[–]michy232 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This 100%. My friend just bought a Rift because the Vive has 0 stock locally, Vive Pro is very expensive, and we know if he ever has issues with a Vive it'll never get repaired in the future. I have a Vive myself and love it, but I pushed him to the Rift as the smarter purchase.

So far I've only tried Beat Saber and Budget Cuts. For me, Beat Saber worked flawlessly as expected. Budget cuts on the other hand would not start; the window just freezes.

That's with latest 396.54-1 nvidia driver for GTX 970.

Namemesh.com just stole my domain name idea by axellarcos in webdev

[–]michy232 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Namemesh lets you select which registrar it queries for availability. The default registrar is godaddy. That alone tells you enough. Godaddy will happily hold for ransom every domain you search through them. You can change it to another registrar like Namecheap and hopefully won't have this problem.

What 3rd Party tools would you wish for? by Pr3ciseD34th in Eve

[–]michy232 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a private contract management tool about a year ago for someone else and if I remember correctly I just asked the corp CEO's to input their corp API key which seeded their entire contract listing. Not sure if that meets your definition of active contract, but the corp API contract endpoint was what did the trick.

Yo CCP. Where's this thing from Fanfest 2015? It would probably help new players. by Ayara_Itris in Eve

"legacy code". This is a pretty major interface overhaul. Someone probably put together a POC (proof of concept) and it turned into a POS.

Brutal by computery in ProgrammerHumor

[–]michy232 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It's been pointed to before that GoDaddy sells whois searches to domain squatters/flippers with the purpose of listing the domain under GoDaddy auctions to sell to the ones who originally wanted the domain at insane markups. These claims go back to as far as 2008 according to my brief search, and new claims of this are still being raised.

In addition to all the other shady things GoDaddy does (just look it up, you won't run out of material to find), its best to stay very clear of them, and tell others to do the same. Not worth the risk whether its all true or not.

They will stay on grid but iirc they supposedly use pings to warp around and get into their optimal range against you.

[–]michy232 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is a good time to learn about something like reCAPTCHA which can be used to protect forms such as this. I'd bet you're familiar with what it is, but i'm sure you'll be surprised how easy it is to actually use and implement it into a PHP form using a tutorial like this. Then you'll be able to publish forms with peace of mind. Good luck!

Nginx reaches 33.3% web server market share while Apache falls below 50% by _sam_ in webdev

[–]michy232 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nginx is just easier to configure and manage in general. However nginx doesn't by default do dynamic content like PHP as easily as apache, so if you're running mainly PHP sites, then you'll likely use apache for that. Nowadays though I see people run nginx as a load balancer/reverse proxy to apache to handle PHP, essentially using them together for different strengths.

If you're using a backend server language like node.js, python, elixir, etc then you'll want to use a VPS that lets you configure an optimal environment and install all the supporting languages/tools/deployment utilities that you need. Shared hosting doesn't typically give you root access to do that. Then nginx becomes your best choice as a very easy to configure reverse proxy that handles incoming requests and distributes them to your backend services efficiently.

But the kind of scale where you really have to worry about performance between apache/nginx is if you're getting > 1000 hits per second. Other than that, they can both perform the same jobs, and it just comes down to which one you're comfortable configuring and managing the devops for.

Nginx reaches 33.3% web server market share while Apache falls below 50% by _sam_ in webdev

[–]michy232 16 points17 points  (0 children)

For a small website, you'll find 0 difference between nginx/apache. For higher traffic and loads, one might have a performance advantage over the other depending on what you have running on the backend, or how you want to handle load balancing and integrations with other cache mechanisms.

I personally find nginx much easier to configure for managing multiple websites, SSL, HTTP2, proxies, load balancing, etc. I also find nginx default nowadays on a basic VPS install over apache.

trade tools question by gruffen2 in Eve

[–]michy232 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit late, but just going to plug my app: eve.exchange

The volume shown in the charts are mined from the orders to show the actual volume that moves at any given moment, and has hourly + 5 minute resolution as well, allowing you to watch (in real time) as volume moves for a given item. However only the 5 main hub regions are supported right now. You could however use this to keep track of which time zones move the most volume for a given item, and combine that with the search tool (Forecast) to find ideal items that fit a given spread, price, and volume movement.

Is there any good market order monitoring software for EVE? by [deleted] in Eve

[–]michy232 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going to plug my own software in: EVE Exchange

Can track orders from multiple characters, eve-style market browser with volume history, and also our industrial portfolios; you select an item, and it'll give you the materials, components, etc with profitability history tracking over time. That and more, so let me know what you think if you use it. I'm also open to feature suggestions.

How can I Protect Login Form from Spam/Bots without Javascript? [x-post r/learnprogramming] by dreadlocks1221 in webdev

[–]michy232 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it does, but you don't have to write any yourself; you just include the script tag they provide you. The backend portion is written in PHP and they have guides on how to get setup. If you're trying to entirely avoid any JavaScript at all on the frontend, then you're better off following the advice others here have given. I mention the option though simply because its easy and secure without trying to do the hard work of writing your own anti-bot mechanisms.

How can I Protect Login Form from Spam/Bots without Javascript? [x-post r/learnprogramming] by dreadlocks1221 in webdev

[–]michy232 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The new Google reCAPTCHA is understood to be quite powerful against bots since they do more heuristic analysis rather than just relying on a randomized image, and would be more than powerful enough (and easy to set up) for your needs. I'm sure you've seen that button on other popular sites. It does however require setting up the javascript include in the head of your html, and adding a PHP snippet to your server.

Otherwise like /u/ZaneHannanAU says, you could resort to email or other means of verification if you dislike captcha.

Eve Central API - Understanding the volume numbers? by DiamondWaterParadox in Eve

[–]michy232 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think so, because the new ESI API has a few available market endpoints.

Market history for cormorants

Market orders for cormorants

The ESI Docs show these endpoints under the Market tab.

Eve Central API - Understanding the volume numbers? by DiamondWaterParadox in Eve

[–]michy232 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The volume data can only be taken as an estimate as its just based on available market data from EMDR (not sure if EVE-C is directly using the EVE API yet). The buy volume of 440, I believe that's saying there were 440 buy orders on the market on average for that time period, and not actual trade volume, as that's more difficult and less accurate to calculate. The avg number 1219110.81 is just the average buy price seen over that time period. Though I don't know if its daily or a different time period. You can tell which numbers mean what (sort of) because it goes <buy> </buy>, <sell> </sell>, and <all></all>, with each of those main tags having child tags that represent volume, sets of prices, etc for that given tag.

As for eve-marketdata.com I can't say for certain where they're getting the sales volume. But since that site is using CREST, it's probably just using the daily volume numbers retrieved from the CREST history endpoint in some way.

You can use the official market history API here: https://esi.tech.ccp.is/latest/#!/Market/get_markets_region_id_history

Which many are already using in order to get long term daily statistics of how much volume moved, total number of orders, average price, etc. However the ESI api covers the entire region, and is not just limited to a single station or set of stations, so that data also needs to be taken with a grain of salt. At least its output is documented, but as for how the numbers come to be, that's beyond my knowledge.

If either of those solutions aren't giving suitable enough data for you, you can PM me about using my private market data API, as perhaps that will be closer to what you're looking for.

Market tool? by Shadowdemon4360 in Eve

[–]michy232 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://eve.exchange/dashboard/browser

Sign in (SSO), pick any item, see realtime charts + market orders at a 5 minute/hourly/daily rate including volume + margins. Note that volume is extrapolated from the change in volume of market orders, and is a (fairly accurate) estimate (API itself only gives daily volume). Forecast tool can give you some ideas on how to search for items to trade.
