  • Well, they’ve continued to churn out features and develop the game, so people keep supporting them.

    There are definitely ups and downs, but overall they’ve made a lot of progress in the past few years.

    A small group of players have been able to use jump gates to jump over to the Pyro system and back. That’s supposed to be released to everyone by the end of the year, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that was just a PTU release, with it finally going live a few months later.




  • No problem it’s a very new term, they’ve only mentioned it in a few places. I just dug up a previous comment that I had posted about this a month ago:

    For those wondering what RMQ (Replication Message Queue) is. They explained a bit more in a previous motd update:

    This RMQ Test from the core tech group will replace the current NMQ system in preparation for Server Meshing and will be much more robust against networking bottlenecks. This test will not be with meshing enabled but will focus on single shards.

    The last test with it was pretty brutal (lots of crashing, imagine groundhog day where you only get a few minutes before you wake up again) so it looks like they’re trying to iron those out before switching on server meshing with it. Hopefully we’ll see much smoother gameplay with this enabled once they work out those issues.





  • Isn’t the whole point of something like End-to-End Encryption so that not even the company themselves can read your messages?

    In that case it wouldn’t matter even if they did turn the info over.

    Edit: I read more into the page you linked. Looks like those NSLs can’t even be used to request the contents either way:

    Can the FBI obtain content—like e-mails or the content of phone calls—with an NSL?

    Not legally. While each type of NSL allows the FBI to obtain a different type of information, that information is limited to records—such as “subscriber information and toll billing records information” from telephone companies.












  • Hmmm it was even able to pull in private DMs.

    Maybe private DMs on Mastadon aren’t as private as everyone thinks… that, or the open nature of Activity Pub is leaking them somehow?

    Edit - From the article:

    Even more shocking is the revelation that somehow, even private DMs from Mastodon were mirrored on their public site and searchable. How this is even possible is beyond me, as DM’s are ostensibly only between two parties, and the message itself was sent from two hackers.town users.

    From what @delirious_owl@discuss.online mentioned below, it sounds like this shouldn’t be very shocking at all.
