Default server unknown nslookup

A little info, The staff claims Mojang/Microsoft have personally looked at their store and deemed them to be within the EULA, bs but if you say something they will straight up ban you. You can also "donate" a min of $200usd to one of the owners when he streams, and you get a "stream item" something with thorns 1000, Sharp 100, and so on, sooo op that its impossible to compete. The club ranks are allowed to bully and harass players without ranks and don't even get a warning. The club ranks also can get away with other rule breaking. like duping, was once a player with the $900+ club rank and a player with a middle rank, both were duping together, middle rank for a perm ban while the club rank got a 1 day ban. Staff is all also complete power hungry shits. An admin once ignored my claim protection so he could kill me while I was on my claim just so he could collect a bounty.

He claims he is, but from things in game I think alot of the codes are copy and paste or bought elsewhere. Like the mystery boxes are a straight up copy of Hypixels. I had a friend join me on Hypixel from there and they couldn't believe how many things were the exact same. and RGA/staffs response when questioned before they ban...."Performiun was first"

They used to straight up ban people that would join with a vpn, it was like an auto server thing. You'd see people asking why they were banned all the time in their discord. And it was all because their vpn was active.

that's actual bullshit, straight up banning them, like bruh if everyone complains that they got banned for that all the time, just kick them instead. imagine some kid wanting to join their favourite server, not knowing what a vpn, but their friend used it on their computer for something else, getting straight up banned for no reason and not knowing what they did wrong. or what if the vpn ip list thing they used, what if it had a false positive and i get banned without a vpn
2ReplyShare📷level 4MessageMany5967OP· 1y ago
There were several kids asking in the servers discord why they got banned. They said they joined and the server immediately banned them. Reason was vpn. Kids would say they don't have one, don't know that is etc...and staff was always like "maybe its your service provider" was so dumb. Then they put this in the webstore...

You also get perks like the gems with these ranks, but you have to buy them a very specific way or you don't get them. I didn't get the I think it was 2,500 gems when I was gifted the rank, I asked the support/owner and they said it was purchased a way that I wasn't entitled to the gems.

Using a throwaway account for safety issues:
Used to be a moderator for this server back in 2019-2020; A player had been heavily harassing me for a week and saying horribly inappropriate things towards me in voice chats and private dms
Reported it to a Sr Mod for help and they brought it up higher ups and an Owner said it wasn't their issue and to just tell me to block them. Didn't find out until months later when another Sr. Moderator had been talking about it to a different moderator who had brought it up to me.
I left the team and regretted it for some stupid reason - and sent them a support ticket apologizing for everything and mentioned to an Admin that I had felt issues weren't looked into and they threw it down again - When I told people - they posted my support ticket publicly and told everyone that I never reported any harrassers and was being a "drama queen".
Super happy this server is being posted in here.

i worked with him through 2 S.A/ grooming cases that were swept under the rug and watched as a discord admin was harassed by one of the "co-owners" GF at the time. Don't get me wrong the Discord admin was kinda a bitch, but for RGA to let the Berry Admin make war against them and tell them to Commit Sewer slide was a little terrible. it ended with the discord admin leaving the server. not sure where they are now but i hope they got help after that.RGA doesnt give a shit about his staff and what happens on the team, he instead leaves that up to "admins" while he is off making fake hacker videos and fake troll videos.

Agree, It's a pay 2 win server and it's hard to dupe or hack on it.

I bought a used Pixel 7 Pro recently and thought it was a shame that Google's battery health feature hasn't been released. I think it'd be nice to see how many charge cycles it's had before I bought it or what the estimated % of its original battery capacity is. Fortunately, Google added new APIs in Android 14 that make it possible to get this data...kinda!
For context, when Google released the first Android 13 QPR1 beta, I discovered a new "Battery Health" screen tucked away in Settings. It was just a placeholder at first, but it got worked on a bit throughout the Android 13 QPR betas before being removed in Android 14 Beta 1.
However, like with many features Google develops for Pixel phones, the underlying APIs are or will become part of AOSP. In this case, I identified several new APIs added to the BatteryManager class that pertain to battery health. These include APIs to get the:

• Charging cycle count
• Charging status (Unknown, Charging, Discharging, Not charging, Full)
• Charging policy (Default, Static, Adaptive, Always charging)
• Battery manufacture date
• Battery date of first use
• State of battery health (remaining estimated full charge capacity relative to the rated capacity in %)

Of these APIs, only the first two (charging cycle count & charging status) are "public", ie. they're available through the Android SDK provided by Google. The remaining four are marked as system APIs, which means they're not available in the Android SDK. That's not a big problem as there are ways around that, but the bigger problem with non-public APIs is that they're usually inaccessible to third-party apps due to missing permissions.
In this case, though, I found that these four APIs can be accessed by any app that holds the BATTERY_STATS permission. BATTERY_STATS has a protection level of signatureprivilegeddevelopment which means it can be granted to apps signed with the platform certificate (signature), apps placed in priv-app directories (privileged), or apps that have been manually granted the permission through ADB (development). The last option is viable even on unrooted devices, which means the permission can be granted to a third-party app that can utilize these APIs to retrieve battery health data.
Using that knowledge, developer narektor created a proof-of-concept, open-source app (called "Batt") that simply reports the battery health data returned from these new APIs in Android 14. You can download the app from GitHub for free. After installing it, run this command to grant it the BATTERY_STATS permission:

adb shell pm grant com.porg.batt android.permission.BATTERY_STATS 

Alternatively, if you install it with the -g flag (ie. adb install -g), it'll be granted the permission upon installation. Or if you have Shizuku set up, the app can grant itself the permission.
Here's an example of what kind of data the app can report (note this screenshot is of a slightly older version). Now here's where the YMMV comes in: I don't know how accurate the stats will be on your device. The app just reports what the APIs return, which in turn depends on whether the stats are actually tracked by the charging IC and whether the HAL supports this feature.
For example, the "first usage date" reported on all the phones I tested is obviously incorrect. For some reason, Google set the range to be from 2020-12-01 to 2038-01-19, so if the value reports 2020-12-01, that's just because it's the default. (If your device reports an obviously incorrect value, like the Unix epoch, the app hides it until you tap "show" at the bottom.)
As an alternative, Tasker by João Dias is also adding these battery health stats soon. You'll be able to get them through the "Get Battery Info" action in case you want to run some automations based on this info.
Enjoy, and don't blame me if you're getting inaccurate results! Hopefully Google bakes this directly into Settings, and hopefully OEMs configure their devices to correctly report this info to the OS so we can all have accurate battery health data available to us.
And yes, I'm aware that X or Y OEM already offers battery health reporting. What's beneficial here is that there's now a standard API and a standard way for vendors to report this info to the OS.

Summary:
Improve Pop!_OS from having xruns for JACK/Pipewire applications with a quantum of 1024/48000 to having no xruns at 256/48000, very occasional xruns at 128/48000, and more frequent xruns at 64/48000.
For those who have computers from System76, there is a notable advantage in using ta distro with which system76-driver is compatible. The hardware setup is:

Hardware model: System76 Thelio Mira Memory: 64 GiB Processor: AMD® Ryzen 9 5900x 12-core processor × 24 OS: Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS 

No warranty of any kind is expressed or implied for the information below, which is provided for informational purposes at one's own risk. These steps worked in my use case. Feedback is welcome.
Intro:
Pop!_OS is not optimized to be an audio workstation, and it will not have the same ability as, for example, Ubuntu Studio to be one.
Yet the system76-driver and system76-power packages and their dependencies will not install easily e.g., on the default setup for Ubuntu Studio, resulting in loud fan spin. That fan spin creates a noise floor that is ill-suited for recording.
One would have more luck using default Ubuntu, then making changes to get something equivalent to Ubuntu Studio. Or one might use Fedora or Arch-based systems.
See also https://support.system76.com/articles/system76-drive
Yet one can get better performance from Pop!_OS.
Procedure:
With a default installation of Pop!_OS, do the following steps. There are two ways of handling these steps. One is to reboot after completing each step. The other is to do all the steps, then reboot. Those doing the steps for the first time might want to opt for multiple reboots.
1. Turn off zram cache.

sudo apt purge pop-default-settings-zram 

This is the simple way to get rid of the zram cache. The aggressive swappiness (180) involved with the zram cache does not work with pro audio use cases.
If purging the package fails because some files are in use, of if one wants to be cautious, try instead:

sudo apt remove pop-default-settings-zram 

Then reboot, and purge the remaining config files with:

sudo apt purge pop-default-settings-zram 

Note that I have a swap partition set up on an NVME drive. I would suggest setting up swap space, either as a partition or as a file, on a solid-state drive. Ill-behaved programs can consume available RAM quicker than one might think. Having a swap space equal to the RAM size, even with lots of semiconductor memory, allows one the chance to observe and kill the ill-behaved process before the machine halts.
The reader is referred to the appropriate documentation in setting up swap.
Upon reboot, one will be able to change swappiness. We do that in step 6 below.
The next steps will involve the Linux Audio Wiki, system config page:
https://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/system_configuration
2. Allow threaded interrupt requests.

sudo kernelstub -a "threadirqs" 

Upon reboot, one should have threaded IRQs.
3. Set CPU governor to performance.

sudo apt install cpufrequtils sudo nano /etc/default/cpufrequtils 

One can use a sensible editor like vim instead of nano, but the idea is the same. Ensure that the file contains the following, then save the file:

ENABLE="true" GOVERNOR="performance" MAX_SPEED="0" MIN_SPEED="0" 

Upon reboot, one should have the CPU core governors set to performance.
4. Enable Quality of Service interface.
Download the file 99-cpu-dma-latency.rules from:
https://github.com/Ardouardoublob/mastetools/udev/99-cpu-dma-latency.rules
copy the file thus:

sudo cp 99-cpu-dma-latency.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/ 

Now restart udev:

sudo udevadm control --reload-rules sudo udevadm trigger 

Check permissions (0660 for root and audio group) via:

udevadm info -a -n /dev/cpu_dma_latency 

5. Set audio limits.

sudo nano /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf 

Ensure that the file contains the following, then save the file:

@audio - rtprio 90 # maximum realtime priority @audio - memlock unlimited # maximum locked-in-memory address space (KB) 

Upon reboot, one should have the audio limits set properly.
6. Set virtual memory swappiness and file watches.
This step is needed especially when using services like Dropbox, among others. With the default install, applications like dropbox can consume so many file watches that even apt can run out of file watches during package installs. Some places recommend 524288 for fs.inotify.max_user_watches, while others recommend 1048576. I have seen all watches used up with the defaults and when using 524288, so I opted for the larger number, which works well in my use case.
Note also that having pop-default-settings-zram installed will negate and override the effects of the vm.swappiness control, which is another reason to remove that package.

sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf 

Append the following to the file, and save it:

# User modified: set swappiness vm.swappiness=10 # User modified: more watches fs.inotify.max_user_watches=1048576 

Upon reboot, one should have virtual memory swappiness set properly and more file watches enabled.
7. Add user(s) to the audio group.
Check the man page for adduser (since we are on a Debian-based system). The general form you want to use is:

sudo adduser $USER audio 

Upon reboot, the user account should be in the audio group.
8. Check everything (optional).
An easy way of checking and handling these steps is by using rtcqs:
https://codeberg.org/rtcqs/rtcqs
https://github.com/autostatic/rtcqs
Running rtcqs after doing the steps above and rebooting should produce something like:

rtcqs - version 0.5.4 Root User ========= [ OK ] Not running as root. Audio/Realtime Group ==================== [ OK ] User is in the audio group. CPU Frequency Scaling ===================== [ OK ] The scaling governor of all CPUs is set at performance. Kernel Configuration ==================== [ OK ] Valid kernel configuration found. High Resolution Timers ====================== [ OK ] High resolution timers are enabled. Tickless Kernel =============== [ OK ] System is using a tickless kernel. Preempt RT ========== [ OK ] Kernel 6.2.6-76060206-generic is using threaded IRQs. Spectre/Meltdown Mitigations ============================ [ WARNING ] Kernel with Spectre/Meltdown mitigations found. This could have a negative impact on the performance of your system. See also https://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/system_configuration#disabling_spectre_and_meltdown_mitigations RT Priorities ============= [ OK ] Realtime priorities can be set. Swappiness ========== [ OK ] Swappiness is set at 10. Filesystems =========== [ OK ] The following mounts can be used for audio purposes: /, /home [ WARNING ] The following mounts should be avoided for audio purposes: /run/use1000/gvfs, /run/use1000/doc. See also https://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/system_configuration#filesystems IRQs ==== [ OK ] USB port xhci_hcd with IRQ does not share its IRQ. USB port xhci_hcd with IRQ does not share its IRQ. ... Soundcard snd_hda_intel:card0 with IRQ 140 does not share its IRQ. Soundcard snd_hda_intel:card2 with IRQ 142 does not share its IRQ. Power Management ================ [ OK ] Power management can be controlled from user space. This enables DAWs like Ardour and Reaper to set CPU DMA latency which could help prevent xruns. 

Note: I do not disable Spectre/Meltdown mitigations, nor do I advise anyone to do so. One chooses to do so at one's own risk, as it is a security breach. The command to do that would be:

sudo kernelstub -a "mitigations=off" 

9. Subsequent Use of JACK/Pipewire:
At this point, using pipewire, one can change the default quantup of the JACK server from 1024/48000 to a lower value via:

pw-metadata -n settings 0 clock.force-quantum 128/48000 

This method works with Carla and other applications that use JACK under pipewire. Changing the user's JACK configuration file in ~/.config/pipewire/ may cause Carla not to produce audio output, even though other JACK applications seem to work using that method. The method used here is recommended by the pipewire docs.
One can write a quick bash script to change and reset the quantum:

nano setquantum 

Put the following in the script, save it, and add executable permissions:

#!/bin/bash if [ "$1" ] then echo "Quantum size is $1/48000" pw-metadata -n settings 0 clock.force-quantum $1/48000 else echo "No quantum size given; resetting quantum." pw-metadata -n settings 0 clock.force-quantum 0 fi 

Now, if one puts this script into a searchable command path (like ~/.local/bin) then one can type "setquantum 128" to change the quantum to 128/48000.
TODO: error checking; change 48000 sample rate to another value if desired; perhaps use a case statement to pick powers of two for the quantum numerator.
As stated above, I have gotten reasonable results at 128/48000, but not lower. Still, for a non-realtime kernel, this is okay and still allows one to use Pop!_OS.

I've been playing the mobile version for quite some time and on Samsung DeX so it's like the PC version on a monitor but recently it's starting to crash, the first reason is the default clone hero songs, you'll have to use a 3rd party app to access "Android>Data>clone hero" files the delete the default songs. A second fix is to reinstall the app but backup the songs and other data. But now it's unknown, I play a song and close to the ending of any song it just closes - I tried opening the log files because it says it shows the error but I click green and it does nothin, opening the log files through the file manager doesn't work bc it doesn't read. Anyone knows how to open the log/session files?

APN protocol: IPv4.IPv6
APN roaming protocol: IPv4
[all other settings at default or blank]
.....
Any idea what to do from here? Do I just need to go to t-mobile at this point? Is there a different app I should be using instead?

So I recently got a new PC. It's has a AMD Ryzen 7 7700x CPU and a Nvidia rtx 4070 ti. At first when I tried opening it, it would say checking for updates then just show a blue screen. After messing with it a binch and reinstalling it it stopped. However now when I open it sometimes when I try to join a friend or invite a friend it shows an error message, Sometimes when I try to start a match it gets stuck on checking for updates, when a match finishes it logs me out and makes me relaunch, when a match finishes it will say I lost connection to server. I have the game set to auto update. I should also mention that the game dosnt load up with easy anti cheat like it used to on my old PC. If I want it to I have to go into the files and click "FortniteClient-Win64-Shipping_EAC_EOS.exe". I've tried repairing the easy anti cheat but nothing worked. I have redownload Fortnite 3 times. And I have it installed in the default place. If someone could help that would be great and if you need to know anything else about my situation feel free to ask.

Hey guys, I am creating this post in hopes of some help. My team and I have been working on this issue for over two weeks, and we are banging our heads against the wall as we cannot find a solution. This issue happens occasionally, but it is gradually increasing.
The main symptoms of the issue are that a computer will randomly lose connection to the internet. These machines are not new. They have been in place functioning for months/years. This happened on multiple computers, VLANs, and physical switches. Randomly the computer cannot ping the default gateway or get outside its own VLAN. It can, however, reach one domain controller on a different server VLAN (but not three other DCs on the same server VLAN) and other devices within its subnet and across VLANS. DHCP can see it and can even ping back to the affected machine. The MAC address is listed on the access and core routing switch in both the MAC table and ARP tables.
Some of the troubleshooting done are: 1. Restart the computer – No fix 2. Ran ipconfig /release, ipconfig /flushdns, ipconfig /renew – No fix 3. Set static IP and DNS – No fix 4. Reset IP stack and Winsock – No fix 5. Change network cable – No fix 6. Change the network port that connects to the switch – No fix 7. Change the machine to a new VLAN on the same switch – No fix 8. Clear MAC Address-Table on all switches 9. Clear the ARP cache on all switches 10. Move the machine to a new VLAN on a new switch (not part of the stack) - Works 11. Spoof MAC address of the NIC on the same port on the same switch – Works (If you spoof another working machine with the MAC address of the non-working machine, it will stop working and have the same issues) 12. Connect a USB to RJ45 NIC and connect to the network – Works 13. Connect a dumb switch between the computer and the access switch. The PC pulls the same IP address from DHCP and works. Afterward, remove the dumb switch, and the PC continues to work. No issues from then on. – Works
Our network setup consists of access switches providing connection to the computers and from the access switches going to a main core switch for the default gateway. IP helper is defined at the core, and access switches are set up with a port security max of 2 (port security showed zero violations, but we disabled all port security for testing, which did not make a difference).
We noticed the start of this issue about a week after our old primary AD DS/DNS servers were replaced from 2008 to 2022. The same IP address was reused for the new servers, but the name changed.
Interestingly, if we set the MAC address of the machine that is having issues to another machine, then the issue carries over to the new computer.
Our current environment consists of four domain controllers on hybrid versions. Two are in 2022 virtual, and the other two are physical with Windows Server 2012 R2 (We are upgrading them but have stopped until this issue is fixed or a cause is found). The domain is on functional level 2008 R2, and DHCP is in standalone Windows servers (Not part of the domain controllers but part of the domain) setup in hot standby failover.
Running dcdiag to check DNS and repadmin to check replication health shows no issues.
The next steps are to reboot the core switch to see if any stale records need to be flushed.
TLDR: Machines randomly lose connection to the internet and servers. It can hit one domain controller without ping or accessing the web. Changing the MAC address (spoofing) fixes the issue. This issue started happening after replacing old domain controllers.

I bought Bravely Default and Bravely Second digitally before the DS eshop closed down, and just started playing the first one a few weeks ago (not knowing then that the servers were closing). I just finished the village building and am in Ch3, planning to do new game + on hard mode (transferring at least the village progress over). I may get through it all by June 30, but that is TBD right now.
On Bravely Second, I skipped through the story for now and got through the first forest area so that I could unlock the "Update Data" feature and get my village population up for when I get to this game later, which may be after the servers close. I believe I can do that without getting to the village unlock portion.
Do I need to protect any level/type of Nemesis before the servers close? Is there anything else I should do before that day to get the full experience out of the games?

So I have a Synology NAS running a Plex server with movies and shows on it. Until 2 days ago, both TVs in my house were working perfectly fine with it (using Firestick for both) and yesterday, all of a sudden, one of TV's just stopped seeing the library and I am having a hard time understanding why.
I have tried so far:

• restarting the NAS,
• logging in and out of Plex on the TV in question
• reinstalling Plex on the TV in question

None of it has helped. It starts Plex and only showing the default Plex content. The other TV is playing the content just fine. What can be the problem?

I sighed. So I'm gonna get reassigned huh? I'm not apart of the c.i.a's gun running, drug peddling, and the guerilla warfare division anymore eh? I guess I'll miss air america flights. I then recalibrated my prosthetic right arm using a Philips head screw driver. Open close. Open, close.
After a couple of seconds my arm was finally done recalibrating. I'm gonna miss my friends. But I'll never miss the humid areas of laos, Vietnam, and some parts of china. The golden triangle is so goddamned hot. Honestly I don't know if it's secretly a promotion or a demotion. Or possibly I'm gonna get fired, and killed.
I'll get my name scraped out of the national files. If I get fired the chances of getting dragged into a blacksite is high, and I'll get tripped by the guys on one of the blacksites.
Oh god. I remember the LSD torture. It's like being awake but not in control. It's like being stuck as a backseat driver as people do unspeakable stuff to me. Oh boy if the public knows about the MK ultra test 2 oh boy. The people are gonna riot. It's already 2040.
The world is on edge, and under foreign influence for over a decade now. From the end of the 20's intergalactic travelers, and companies came, and control most of the world's nations within just a span of two years. They have the guts to exploit our resources, and don't give a damn about what happens to us. They care about profits. Except for the 8 major powers most of the world is under alien control. The only nations that aren't under alien control are russia, china, The U.S.A, great Britain with their manpower advantage given Australia is a British vassal state, France, Canada, Israel, and lastly an unlikely power the African union made out of 7 of the most powerful nations in Africa before the arrival of the outsiders are the only remaining independent countries.
Most of the intelligence agencies are currently working together dealing drugs with the outsiders who visit us, giving weapons to guerilla fighters, and getting weapons from the outside. Ships from an unlikely ally an independent economic alliance of nations named the syndicate allows to us to get some weapons. As long as we sell them drugs, and perishables from earth. It turns out the syndicate likes drugs, coffee, and other stuff native to earth.
Some of our intelligence guys are chatting with the aliens. The guys who are exploiting our resources are called the consortium. They are a consort of companies, and a league that agrees on how to manipulate markets. These guys are basically the more unhinged version of the wall street guys, and a mix of the c.i.a.
I sighed. "This is gonna be a long day ahead of me."
I then smoked a cigar. The cigar calmed my nerves as I inhaled the nicotine. The addictive substance relaxes me. Plus lung cancer isn't a problem anymore considering we now have a solution on how to cure it. The alien companies gave us some of their tech to show their so called sympathy before they flooded economies with consumer goods from their companies, and controlled almost all of earths economies.
"So agent smith. This is your new partner." A c.i.a handler said to me.
I spat out some ash from my mouth, and complained. "The fuck are you giving me a newbie as a partner? And what the hell am I gonna to do to need a new partner. Rodriguez already was fine yet I'm stuck with a newbie?"
The handler laughed. "Oh heavens no. This is an a.i. Codename poppy. She's your new partner in crime. Because we are gonna send you as a diplomatic bodyguard to the syndicate."
"Oh hi! I'm poppy I'm an artificial intelligence created by the c.i.a, m.i.6, the g.r.u, the s.s.m, mossad, and the s.s.a." The human looking robot said.
The voice kinda sounds synthetic, and the tone is too happy. I kinda hate it. I hate that it gives off happy go lucky vibes. I don't mean to be a grouch but the happy go lucky guys always die first. It's kinda ironic in a fucked up way.
So this thing is an a.i kinda like g.w. An a.i made by the c.i.a. G.W have made the internet more tolerable, and friendly due to context. People back then always manipulated facts into their political goals, and ideals. People get the facts misconstrued for political reasons.
G.W was made after a game character that was so prophetic about the world in the future. M.G.S 2: Sons of liberty. It has the same function as g.w from mgs2. It gives facts in a non biased way. In a way where people don't get their feelings hurt when something is given to them in a factual, and non biased ways.
People used to manipulate facts for political correctness. Hiding the fact that they misinterpret the meaning of those words. The internet used to be a toxic, and a fucked up place before g.w. Like Jesus Christ the goddamn internet was filled with incels, and attention seekers using facts and misusing them for internet clout. It was a place where no one is invalidated but nobody was right. G.w put an end to that era. G.w is now living in a secluded server thanking us for it's creation. It was phased out after it asked to be replaced by another one because it was sick, and tired of correcting people that get the facts misconstrued. It got to the point that it begged the c.i.a, and annoyed the c.i.a to the point that it wanted to be put in a secluded server so it could live it's remaining days in relative leisure just because it begged the c.i.a director so many times that he would get spam calls from the a.i using his official phone number even in the middle of the night for three straight years.
Anyways back to discussion.
"So you're one of those advanced a.i's like g.w?" I asked just to be sure I'm not paired with a dumb a.i.
"Yup. I even passed the Turing test in flying colors. I can feel emotions, do something out of spite or anger, and can think for myself." Poppy said with a dog like innocence.
"So what can you do?" I asked.
"Well. I can fly planes, use guns even those that people can't use due to physiological differences, and hack computers without being near the target. I'm basically just an a.i that can be a jack of all traits if given a chance." Poppy said.
"Fine. But you'll do it my way or the high way." I told poppy with a commanding tone.
Poppy laughed. "Okay boomer."
I sighed. This is gonna be a long day. I'm old as shit but not a boomer.
"Woah. You guys are already going along greatly. Great for you." The handler snickered.
He then left, and left me with poppy.
I'm fucked. "So I'm gonna brief you about the world poppy. Through a song."
I then sang bo burnham's how the world works song.
"Hey, kids Today, we're gonna learn about the world The world that's around us is pretty amazing But how does it work? It must be complicated The secret is the world can only work When everything works together"
"A bee drinks from a flower And leaves with its pollen A squirrel in a tree spreads the seeds that have fallen Everything works together"
"The biggest elephant, the littlest fly The gophers underground, the birds in the sky And every single cricket, every fish in the sea"
"Gives what they can and gets what they need That is how the world works That is how the world works"
"From A to Zebra To the worms in the dirt That's how it works Hey everyone"
I then pulled out a sock, and made it into a puppet.
"Look who stopped by to say "hello" It's Socko Hey! Where you been, Socko?"
"I've been where I always am when you're not wearing me on your hand In a frightening, liminal space between states of being Not quite dead, not quite alive It's similar to a constant state of sleep paralysis"
"Socko, we were just talking about the world and how it works!"
"Boy, that sounds complicated! Do you have anything you'd wanna teach us about the world?"
"I wouldn't say anything that you Probably haven't already said yourself"
"I don't know about that, Socko How about you give it a try?"
"All right!"
"The simple narrative taught in every history class Is demonstrably false and pedagogically classist Don't you know the world is built with blood? And genocide and exploitation"
"The global network of capital essentially functions To separate the worker from the means of production And the FBI killed Martin Luther King Private property's inherently theft"
"And neoliberal fascists are destroying the left And every politician, every cop on the street Protects the interests of the pedophilic corporate elite"
"That is how the world works (really?) That is how the world works Genocide the Natives, say you got to it first"
"That's how it works"
"That's pretty intense?"
"No shit Sherlock."
"What can I do to help?"
"Read a book or something, I don't know Just don't burden me with the responsibility of educating you"
*It's incredibly exhausting"
"I'm sorry, Socko I was just trying to become a better person"
"Why do you rich fucking white people Insist on seeing every socio-political conflict Through the myopic lens of your own self-actualization?"
"This isn't about you So either get with it, or get out of the fucking way"
"Watch your mouth, buddy"
"Remember who's on whose hand here"
"But that's what I- Have you not been fucking listening? We are entrenched in a way (all right, all right)"
"Wait, wait, no please! I don't wanna go back, please, ugh, ugh, ugh I can't go, I can't go back Please, please, I'm sorry!"
"Are you gonna behave yourself?"
"Yes"
"Yes, what?"
"Yes, sir"
"Look at me"
"Yes, sir"
"That's better That is how the world works That is how the world works I hope you learned your lesson"
"I did and it hurt That's how it works"
NOOOOOOO!!!
Drags sock puppet into a pocket like some introvert getting dragged into socializing in bars by extroverts.
"So do you understand know?" I asked poppy.
"That everything is made under the blood of billions, and we shouldn't make their deaths be in vein?" Poppy said.
"Correct. And we shouldn't let outsiders make our choices for us. We should kick them out." I said like some isolationist American during the 1920's.
"Ironic isn't it smith. The c.i.a used to be anti socialist but look how the circumstances turned the American government into. A social democracy/merit based democracy where politicians are based in merit rather than popularity. Politicians are insentivised to change the world than burn it down like some of the old presidents did. Ironic that america became something it hated. A weird mesh of meritocracy, democracy, republican, liberaterian, and market socialist ideals. Some sort ideological mesh made by idealogs"
"And it's working with it's remaining two Allies, and former enemies just to defeat a foreign threat. How poetically ironic isn't it? I mean the CIA used to go schizo mode when they hear communist, and socialist ideals or hearing the word russians, and chinese are plotting something. Now the country it help grew became the very thing it sought to destroy. Morbidly ironic isn't it?" Poppy said with a meloncholic under tone.
"Yeah. Specially the stuff we do now." I said agreeing to the statement.
"But that's how the world works. Everything must change. Either you adapt or die." I said with a meloncholic under tone.
"So do you know where we are going?" I asked poppy.
I then puffed up my cigar. Sweet sweet nicotine.
"Back to america. In the space port in Austin Texas. I'm already done contacting the contact the handler gave to me. E.T.A 7 hours. Now let's go to the laostian military base 7 miles north from here. Our air america flight is waiting for us." Poppy said.
I sighed. "Come ride with me. I have a motorcycle a hundred meters from here."
We walked towards my motorcycle. I then puffed up my cigar smelling the nicotine.
So my life is about to change huh? Eh. I'm just gonna adapt. After all in this world it's either adapt or die.
Click, click, click
Motorcycle engine starts rumbling.
Poppy then held my waist. It's hands are cold as steel. Colder than even corpse. I sighed.
The highway was almost empty. Everyone was working a 10-8 job in one of the corporations that control laos. There was no land vehicles transporting goods because the aliens are using their tech to transport them underground. The road was almost abandoned except for the guys who have motorcycle hobbies. Anyways it doesn't matter. After all there's no traffic anymore.
The fresh breeze calmed my nerves. It made me feel alive. A motorcyclist drive by me and waved hello. I waved back at the motorcyclist. It's good to be on the road.
After a twenty minute drive we arrived at the military base. Another CIA agent greeted us, and escorted us to the flight.
"So you guys are the diplomatic bodyguards?" Asked the agent.
"Yup. That's what my handler told me." Poppy said.
"So your one of the newer a.i models eh. Ok. Just step right in. Plus the flight is rather boring. Just sleep while on flight to save energy." The agent told me.
I sighed. I threw away the cigar, and slept through the flight.
A few hours later...
I woke up arriving at Austin executive airport. Poppy just sat there watching me sleep like some sort of creep. It made me a little bit paranoid at the unflinching eyes that was watching me. But I ignored my instincts, and went outside.
After that I ate something for breakfast. A couple of pancakes, and chicken wings. Poppy looked at me with envy. I sighed.
"Can you eat? Do you need food to survive?" I asked.
"Well.... I need glucose to recharge my batteries. I can also use a charger but it would be suspicious. So the glucose to energy converter was made for special missions so that I wouldn't blow my cover."
Figured. Those guys in the CIA RnD team are making contengencies for every eventual event. I then ordered a plate of syrup covered pancakes.
Poppy looked at me smiling. I sighed.
An hour later...
We arrived at the space port. People walked around buying nicnacs, waiting for their flight, and just waited around for their family members that were coming back.
Another agent came up to me, and gave me two tickets.
"Here's the tickets. Also have this. You'll need it."
The agent then gave me some sort of high tech phone. Then out of knowhere something exploded.
I was knocked unconscious for a couple minutes. When I woke up I was getting dragged by poppy along with the agent that gave me the tickets. She shot back at incoming enemies using alien tech.
"Ugh..." As I said that I began coughing blood. I looked down I was bleeding. My left leg was missing. It was slowly bleeding due to a tourniquet, bandages, and some sealing foam. It was still bleeding but isn't bleeding as badly as to kill me in just a couple seconds.
Gunshots echoed in the space port. Agents shot back at the alien attackers. A fierce firefight began. Bright lights like something akin to RGB lights but in a epileptic way we're seen down the isles as screams of both alien, CIA, fbi, and fully kitted out port guards were slaughtered one by one.
Poppy dragged me, and the other agent to a bathroom. "Sit rep." I asked poppy.
"It seems to be a terrorist attack. I don't know why but they looked like alien mercenaries. The question is that did the consortium hired them to kill our diplomat. Good thing the diplomat hasn't arrived. I checked the agency message boards, and they said that good thing the diplomat was sick after getting food poisoning this morning. They are already talking about it. Some of them are even suggesting that the consortium did this attack." Poppy said.
"So the diplomat got lucky. But why the fuck would they attack our diplomat to the syndicate? I mean it's counter productive. We don't need their goods or services considering the people here would rather choose human companies rather than alien shady companies. I guess they must've know about our deals with them, and decided to start a shadow war. A war in the shadows. The companies of the consortium vs the remaining independent government's. Who ever wins controls all the resources in the world." I told poppy.
She nodded. "Good guess but no one really knows. It's so sudden. We need more info before we act against them."
"I'll patch you up in the meantime. I hurried the medical assistance I gave you a couple minutes ago. I was hurrying because this guy is saying we need to leave after he suffered minor bruises. You blunted most of the damaged for him because you were in front of the explosion. He was saved because you were blocking him from getting hit by shrapnel. I cut you're leg off. Sorry. It can't be saved considering it was barely hanging on the leg. Plus I was running out of time so I had to cut it before you bled out."
I sighed. "Okay. Just get my hk UmP 45 inside my arm. It's in second the compartment a secret compartment. In the upper arm. I have a few mags of it inside the compartment. Here's a screw driver to remove the lid."
I then gave poppy a screw driver hidden in my pants, and saw her unscrew the lid off. A ump 45, and fully loaded 4 mags came out dropping loudly on the floor.
"Now carry me to the danger. I would rather die than suffer for years being reminded of the sad reality that I lost an arm, and a leg every time I wake up." I morbidly joked to poppy.
"Are you sure? You're injured! Are you fucking suicidal?" Poppy, and the agent said.
"Did I stutter?"
The two of them sighed.
Poppy then carried me in her back, and the other agent used poppy as meat shields. The agent held a Barretta 93r. A burst fire weapon.
"Ready?" I said.
"Ugh. You're lucky I accepted your request dumbass."
"Yes."
I was being piggy back carried by poppy while the agent followed us.
"Tango 15 meters to the left." Poppy said.
I then activated burst fire, and shot at the direction given. When I saw an enemy I aimed for the center mass. But I instead hit the thorax killing the alien instantly.
"Kill confirms. Enemy is k.i.a."
"Tango 20 meters ahead."
I then aimed straight forward, and saw a bolt of light strike near me. It was close enough to feel the heat of the round. I shot back, and killed the alien instantly by hitting the alien in the lungs, and heart.
"Enemy is k.i.a"
Then I heard a three round burst coming from a Barretta. I looked back, and saw the agent kill an incoming enemy.
"Thanks. So what's your name?" I asked.
"Oh I haven't properly instroduced myself. My name is agent Carter." The agent/Carter said.
"Thanks Carter. My name is agent smith."
"No problem agent smith. We CIA agents got each other's backs. We must stick together."
"Guys tangos incoming coming from the left. ETA 20 seconds."
We then aimed our Guns, and waited for the enemy to arrive. When they eventually arrived we moved them down with burst fire. After that a couple national guard guys came up to us. They were probably chasing those aliens.
"Thanks." One of the national guards said.
"No problem"
We continued, and after two minutes of walking we walked into a firefight. I smiled.
"You know what to do." I said smiling.
"Third party them?"
"Yup."
I then turned on full auto, and began to spray, and pray.
After a few seconds of pulling the trigger my gun ran out of bullets. Carter also ran out of bullets in his magazine, and reloaded. 3 confirmed kills, and multiple missed or slightly injured.
Oh crap. Then a bolt of light past near me. Enough to the point my right cheek got minor burns.
"Duck!"
I then began to be dragged by poppy into cover. Carter also looked for cover, and dived into the nearest cover. I quickly reloaded the mag, and started shooting at the aliens again. I changed the selector back to burst fire to conserve ammo.
I aimed center mass at the enemies. A loud burst of .45 ACP rounds was heard as an enemy was hit in the thorax.
"Kill confirmed."
I continued, and shot enemies in either the arms, legs, the thorax, or the chest.
After three minutes the firefight ended.
"Other sectors secured. All area's are currently in our control. Over 700 people died, 1720 were injured, and some were missing. Military and government casualties are 124 KIA'd, 24 severely injured, 57 mildly injured, and 38 MIA'd." Poppy said smiling.
Then paramedics rushed into the scene. People were rushed into nearby hospitals while I was dragged by a undercover CIA paramedic to a government safe house along with poppy, and Carter.
A week later…
I was standing in the military cemetery in Arlington national cemetery. Where soldiers who died without any identifications are buried. I saw burials around me. Soldiers who died without any family members, soldiers disowned by family, and other such things. But hey it's just the life of a soldier. That's what I know at least. From ranger grunt to c.i.a grunt. I was disowned by my parents who were conservatives, and highly religious because I was going to sacrifice my place in heaven to save some heathens from the middle east. I never regretted my actions. I saved lives, and ended some. No guts no glory after all.
Some of the people getting buried got medal of honors. Saving comrades in need of dire help in exchange for their lives, soldiers who rescued civilians in exchange for their own lives, and soldiers who honorably fought on to save others even faced with hard decisions.
I saluted the unknown soldiers for their bravery, and honor. In the background poppy, and Carter were talking. But that wasn't important. Bagpipes, trumpets, and drums play as the unknown soldiers get burried with their medals. The grave sentinels saluted while burying the dead. Gunshots in the honor of the dead was heard as the unknown soldiers got buried while being watched by the people who those soldiers saved.
After that I returned to head quarters with a prosthetic leg, and talked to my handler. Poppy, and Carter went back to the safehouse just to talk.
"Oh hi smith." My handler captain david said.
"Hi David."
"Here's another purple heart medal, and a bronze star medal." David then tossed the medals towards me.
"That's your what? 22nd and 23rd medal? Bravo congrats smith."
"I'm gonna ask you sometime David."
"Ask away smith."
"When will i get sent as a diplomatic bodyguard?"
"About three weeks from now. Also agent Carter is gonna be one of your partners for the mission."
I sighed. Figured.
"So who was behind the terror attack David?"
"Honestly. The CIA search the crime scene, and saw that the consortium blatantly did that. The mercenaries worked under one of the companies in the consortium. But for the public it's gonna be announced tonight that a rogue consortium PMC did that so we wouldn't provoke them too much."
"It's gonna be a long day smith."
"Yeah David."
Then David gave me a cigar.
"Wanna smoke?"
I nodded.
To be continued…

I work for a firm that has decided to expand their operations here in the Philippines; joining us here is our infrastructure division. So of course with that kind of technical heavy expansion comes a particular set of IT requirements to cater to the incoming BIM / Revit professionals. Since lahat ng IT specialists namin are based in the head office, I volunteered to be the counterpart for IT here in Manila since we don't really have other IT inclined people among the staff and I thought it'll be a good learning experience - and it was a learning experience nga but not for the reasons you'd think.
Since they were very particular requirements: modified ThinkPads, a custom-made server, and industry-leading network hardware, the IT department and our office came to an agreement to just order it at the head office and have it shipped here. Somebody already tipped me ahead that our import procedures would be bloody and I told my IT counterparts the same, they brushed it off kasi nakapag-ship naman na daw sa Pilipinas yung supplier before.
​
Okay fine, that's their show.
​
Eventually we encountered a wall since the logistics provider was having difficulty to pre-clear our shipment since surprise surprise, we don't have the necessary permits. It turns out, to import IT stuff to the Philippines, you'd need 3 separate permits from 3 separate government agencies. And unsurprisingly, even IT specialized brokers we talked to would rather do "all-in" (alam mo na, yung may padulas ) rather than deal with those government agencies. Apparently, it takes entire quarters (not months) to clear shipments with them and of course, the clock is ticking so we decided to procure as much as possible locally instead.
Before you ask why not just pay the all-in brokerage fees - I swear it would've cut our IT saga in half but our firm takes business integrity pretty seriously. But I am sure they haven't encountered the fun of doing business in the Philippines lol. Hindi rin kami friends ng PEZA so hindi kami tax exempt.
​
Mygahd, now it became my show.
​
The markups and the leadtimes of the same items here are nothing short of qué horror.
I really love how in our head office it's like: "You need 10 modified ThinkPads? Okay give us 5 days and it'll be here" whereas dito, 60-90 days by default and to think sa China lang din naman galing ang Lenovo. Finally securing those damn laptops from our vendors felt like going to Divisoria during Christmas sale. I had to leverage every vendor management & bargaining skill I had to get those order-only laptops without paying an arm and a leg. For another particular model of laptop we were looking at, the price difference was enough for me to book a ticket to our head office in Scandinavia, buy the laptop, and bring it home - I originally meant it as a joke but at one point we were sincerely considering it.
I was shopping back then for an enterprise-grade network switch and it was so difficult since almost nobody stocks them on hand, almost all are on 90-120 days order basis whereas I need one in 21 days. One supplier even quoted me a switch whose leadtime was 41 WEEKS - hindi sya typo, apparently I need to wait for 10 months to get that particular network switch, omg. And the prices? More than double.
Don't even get me started on the WIFI access points - everything considered we would've had to shell out 100,000 pesos per unit just to get that particular brand - and we needed quite a few of them! Even my IT counterpart overseas pumiyok how pricey it was. Buti nalang talaga yung 8,000 peso Tp-Link mesh router set that I previously installed is still holding strong.
To think I am comparing prices with one of the most expensive "First-world" places to live on Earth and yet talo pa natin sila sa price and waiting time.
Siguro to make the long story short, at this point I am truly frustrated with how our "modernized" Customs & regulations regime still pushes even legitimate distributors to tack on massive 100-200%+ markups just to recover their importation costs, because apparently even they have to resort to brokers just to clear their shipments through. Imagine the government has been pushing hard on IT-driven economic growth for the longest time tapos eto lang makakaharap mo; an insane bureaucracy that incentivizes corruption as a way of life.
I learned.

• Overview

  Our main guideline to leave the "meta" of pure Vanilla survival as unaltered as possible (for a public server).
  The only 3 plugins that interfere with this are:
  GriefPrevention, a sleep voting plugin, and player item shops for trading. That means as many features from other plugins you know from other servers are absent by design and won't be added. There are two ranks "new" and "player", they do not give any benefits. You can not buy "power" for real money here and we have no adminshops. Everything on the map was build and farmed in survival.
  play.server26.net
  Map: https://map.server26.net/
  Discord: https://server26.net/discord
  
• No Warps, No /tpa, No /sethome
  
• No (Mojang) chat reports
  
• No McMMO or alike, No donation perks or any such frills
  
• The world will never reset
  
• Land claiming
  
• Player trading via signs (No adminshops)
  
• 20% of player need to sleep to skip the night
  
• All made in survival, including spawn area, etc
  
• Lots of public farms.
  Rules: https://server26.net/rules TL;DR: Be reasonable and don't be a dick.
  

• Community

  What you have read so far sounds like your cup of tea? Well then you may fit right in. Laid back rules, a close knit community, having some events from time to time, and there is always something you can help with. Staff and ohter players are usually available to help you. Need help digging? Just died far away? Raid an Ocean Monument? No problem! We also have a Hermitcraft-like shop area for players using a trade shop plugin.
  

• Gameplay

  This is supposed to feel like a vanilla server. The default currency is diamonds. This is not enforced its just what everyone uses. No warps, you have to walk, fly by Elytra, or set up infrastructure such as piston bolts or blue ice highways. You can focus on long term projects, take your time, because we NEVER RESET the map. Megabases welcome. Leave for months, pick right up where you left. In +7 years time we built a lot of farms and infrastructure. This makes it a lot easier to get going early in the game, especially for endgame players. But fear not, there is always need for expanding upon whats already there.
  The spawn city is protected. Areas there are released for community builds. Outside the city you can build your own base(s). You will get more claimblocks during play.
  

• Specs & Plugins

  Hosted in Germany with 128GB Ram, a Intel i9-9900k, and 1TB NVMe SSD; the server runs on Paper. Regarding updates we don't always run the latest version but we plan to update to every major release eventually. In case an update brings a big change in world generation (e.g. 1.18) we delete chunks that have been loaded less than 5 minutes. Meaning someone likely just passed by while exploring.
  For land claiming we use GriefPrevention, which lets you protect areas you selected with a golden shovel. You can allow certain or all players to build and or access chests/buttons, on your claim. It also protects your claims and the worlds surface from creepers. Then there is also a chest shop plugin. You can use iron nuggets to create villager-like trades. You can do this anywhere, but its recommended to do this in the shopping area or your claim. Harbor is a plugin which skips the night, if 20% or more players are in bed. Lastly there is one that lets you rotate Glazed Terracotta.
  Additionally we have some datapacks and tweaks: Ghasts don't break blocks. You can silent mobs by naming them "silent" (undo with "unsilent"). Your 1st kill of the Enderdragon gets you an Elytra. Craftable Enchanted Golden Apples. Hermitcraft posable Armorstands. Some recipes have been tweaked (bone blocks directly from bones, recolor glass,... )

I learned this the hard way. We started hitting the treshold, which caused intermittent network blackouts due to DNS queries not being resolved. This caused huge disruptions in the company, and we were unable to find the reason.
You can test this by running 150+ nslookups in a row. DNS server doesnt matter. Pastebin to 500 for testing: https://pastebin.com/zyhDpQgV

Why are services autostarted on package install? I don't understand why this is the default, which would be fine if there's a good alternative but AFAIK there isn't.
Don't most people tend to configure their services before using them? I imagine some services might even do some initialization so a restart after the service is configured is not necessarily the same as just starting the service for the first time after it was configured. I feel like it also introduces a very slight security risk running a service in a way you have not configured for it yet. At least
If it's a convenience thing because most people want it started eventually, it's just a matter of a systemctl enable --now and you're on the command line... Even if the default configs are sensible (and I trust Debian maintainers for this), I feel like it's good basic sysadmin practice to be cognizant of what services need to be started and there's a difference between installing a package and running it (the latter affects the state of the running system) and it's better to place the responsibility and control to the user than being implied by the distro to do both, dictated by whether the service is considered sensible or not by the maintainers for it to run automatically.
I feel like if the policy is intended to avoid questions from users where they ask "I installed a package why isn't it working?" then the bar is set way too low... at the end of the day it's a systemctl enable --now for someone using a popular server distro. Installing a package immediately serves up a webpage, huh? I'm sure there are worse unintended effects (for the user) with such a policy. The user should be responsible for running their applications that serve their data, not the distro.
Example of my frustration wanting to proxy apache with nginx:

# apt install nginx apache2  Enabling site 000-default. Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/apache2.service → /lib/systemd/system/apache2.service. Job for apache2.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status apache2.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. 

Totally avoided with such a policy. I get that more people probably intend to use one or the other, but asking the user to start the service themselves isn't much to ask if they are to manage a server. This error is not related to installing the application like I wanted. An assumption was made when it didn't need to be made.
