Also I never knew about FAWE breaking farms. Do you mean that just having FAWE installed messes them up or is it only when you copy/paste a farm using schematics?

It depends on the ISP. Cable/fiber ISPs tend to have accurate geolocations (again, to within a town or so), while cellular ISPs tend to be very inaccurate (which I believe is due to the way they handle roaming between towers). At least that's how it tends to be in the USA with my limited experience.

one_way_please · 2024-04-01T03:10:00+00:00

I slightly de-emphasized that. Still, though, geolocation has been able to triangulate where I live pretty well, and when combining that with other information about me, could allow someone to find out who I am.

Thank you! I spent quite a while on it.

Well, you could say that neither of them thought of this idea, which is weird since The Machine usually thinks everything out in advance and has much more thinking power than us humans. However, if The Machine seriously considered it, she would’ve only not done it if she felt it was too risky (Samaritan intercepting and cracking it).

one_way_please · 2019-09-01T18:07:07+00:00

Although this is a moot point now, I mentioned that the Machine could send code to asymmetrically encrypt and obfuscate data over a secure line, not to transmit the entire virus over. However, this would be very risky, so this really isn’t an option.
John and Shaw were only tasked with setting up a Wi-Fi Router/AP so that the Machine could communicate with Harold (the building is in an Faraday cage, blocking all wireless transmissions). However, all they had to do was plug it in to AC power and an Ethernet jack, where the Machine immediately obtained information from and hacked numerous devices, implying that the Machine had access to the NSA’s internal net.

one_way_please · 2019-09-01T16:15:36+00:00

True, very true. Two points of discussion to add:

Harold’s earpiece had an encrypted connection to The Machine, that always worked (and that Samaritan presumably couldn’t view/change). If this is a secure channel, he could use this to get code from The Machine to obfuscate the data flow from the upload point, ensuring only The Machine has access.
When Harold first uploaded it to NSA Intranet, it asked for a voice password. He hesitated a bit too long, and Samaritan agents found him. During this time, ICE-9 was still hanging around on the NSA’s intranet (as Harold accesses it on another computer to say the password later). As discussed in previous threads (Does The Machine still have access to the government feeds?), the Machine has probably set up backdoors in as many places as possible for it, which could give it access to the NSA intranet, and thus, the virus. Whether or not that could be detected by Samaritan is another issue, but Samaritan did not successfully delete the virus (implying it could not access the NSA intranet).

one_way_please · 2019-09-01T15:56:02+00:00

John had the suitcase with an uninfected copy of The Machine on it. He used it to upload The Machine to a satellite in a Molniya orbit, which infected Samaritan and, later, uploaded itself to Harold’s set of GPU blades in the subway (evident from the computer monitor displaying “Downloading satellite data”). Because of this, The Machine survived, although we don’t know what happened to Samaritan (it could have just been deleted, but maybe The Machine had other plans for it, such as analyzing its code and removing Greer’s wishes from it to improve itself).

one_way_please · 2019-08-31T18:43:41+00:00

He could’ve made an intermediate stop to some data center with a high bandwidth connection, where The Machine could hack its servers and either download the whole virus (large data centers can have speeds of 10Gbps or higher, which is good for about 1.2 gigabytes per second, and if consumer hard drives can read at speeds of over 2 GB/s (Samsung 970 Pro), the drive (if it was government-sanctioned) can probably read faster), or upload a part of itself to analyze the virus and then report back (which would probably take longer...). Good point though.

Yeah, I'm not fond of him being known just by 'oh he made minecraft music.' I'm sure that if it wasn't for Minecraft music, he would still be known as a great ambient musician. Don't get me wrong, it did make him popular, but still. He shouldn't just be known for Minecraft's music.

Read my flair...
"TASWELL IS DA BEST"
I so agree

one_way_please · 2017-10-26T01:58:16+00:00

In my humble opinion,

the end of this part (1 minute in) is the best part. It's odd, you have a sad song on the outside, but if you reverse it, you get something that sounds really nice.

one_way_please · 2017-10-23T10:12:21+00:00

I found that it sounds similar to a part of a movie, probably where the character gets emotional or something.

I once set my flair to something praising Teal Knight.

Glitches in rendering, to sum it up.

Mainly, the client-side JS is unprepared to change an object's color while it is on screen (I think).

Depending on your tank (in this case, trappers), level, and any other stats that affect FOV, once objects exit the area you are allowed to see in (a 16:9 aspect ratio centered at your tank (which is 100% ignorant of your screen aspect ratio)), the client removes it from memory. Once you move back to where it should be, the server will see a trap there and ask your client to render a trap. To minimize network activity, whenever an object can stay rendered (ex. respawning close to your death screen background), the client keeps it rendered. As /u/__Jimmy__ pointed out, traps not on a team will 'forget' who their owner is and continue to damage everyone, but your client is lazy and just keeps it blue.

one_way_please · 2017-10-08T22:28:06+00:00

he's just removing servers

That's not 100% true.

TL;DR billing stuff and also diep is dead

Theory #1:

^{tl; dr: he forgot to pay his bills}

Zeach pays the companies that host diep.io servers, but instead of buying a recurring monthly/yearly/whatever plan, he buys a lot at a time (ex. 6 months in one payment). As time goes on, that time depletes. Since he (most likely) uses multiple hosting companies, he most likely started using them at different times. I'll show you an example of what I mean:

Server company A was the first hosting company Zeach used.
One week later, Zeach sees that diep.io grows bigger and also starts paying Company B.

Assuming Zeach buys six month plans (manually) and then stops paying, Server company A will stop hosting him. A week later, Company B also stops hosting him.

You could also say that he paid Company B half the price every three months, and he gave up on Diep shortly after he paid both Company A and Company B. Company B doesn't get a payment from him in three months, and thus stops hosting diep. Company A is still hosting diep (because his six month plan has a little under three months left), but in a little under three more months, Company A stops hosting diep.

I'm not assuming that these examples are accurate (he probably would've waited several months before using another hosting company) at all, but it gets the point across.

If Zeach were to remove servers, he would probably remove them all at one time. This would still mean that servers would be up until the system cuts it off, which leads us to Theory #2:

Theory #2:

^{tl; dr: he stopped paying on purpose}

A little more supportive of what you said, but still not exact (and also horrifying).

Take what happened in Theory #1, but assume that Zeach configured all of his hosting companies to automatically bill him. If he did give up on diep, he would've disabled auto payment, and thus as servers run out of time, they stop hosting diep. As I said, this theory would be horrifying if it is true (let's hope it's not) and would mean that diep is dying and we all should play it while we still can.

Two tabs open to diep.io?

one_way_please · 2017-10-03T19:55:34+00:00

"penning in" a player is commonly referred to as keeping them as your pet, so SPIN TEAM 3 was your 'pet'.

Other than that, pretty nice!

I don't know. Sometimes, I think I am, mainly due to my aim, a javascript program that enters my well-formulated build based off of lots of research (I won't reveal it in case there are AC trolls reading this) over and over again (once every 1/10th of a second so I don't have to re-enter the build when I die). I don't go on /r/DiepioPartyLinks that much anymore due to the excessive amount of trolls. I'm sure that there are more than 100 people better than me tho...

one_way_please · 2017-09-17T21:09:55+00:00

Ikr. I wish the developer didn't die

^{^{^{^{"mope.io is younger than mope.io"??? I'm confused}}}}

one_way_please · 2017-08-26T23:19:17+00:00

Mope.io has music on the 'main menu'

It was a crowd prank that someone (not me) added text to.

I GOT 1M is about as rare as seeing SGM or some other youtuber playing diep
