07:27:54  <TrueBrain> hmmm ... dynamoDB is out of capacity ... master server is failing hard :P
07:28:03  *** HerzogDeXtEr has joined #openttd
07:28:27  <TrueBrain> we have 3 times more traffic on the masterserver ...
07:29:16  <_dp_> eh? why?
07:29:24  <TrueBrain> no clue; it is not like there are more servers
07:29:38  <_dp_> and no more players it seems...
07:30:04  <TrueBrain> the dynamoDB traffic scales with servers
07:30:21  *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
07:30:26  <TrueBrain> started 4 hours ago
07:30:34  <andythenorth> yo
07:33:17  <TrueBrain> for now I increased capacity on the DynamoDB
07:33:28  <TrueBrain> but that means we now exceed our "free tier" :P
07:34:06  <TrueBrain> it is possible because it couldn't update servers, the servers come back quicker, causing more pressure on the master server ..
07:34:17  <TrueBrain> I am going with that assumption for now, and we will validate that tonight :)
07:37:17  <TrueBrain> I love that scaling is near-instant :P
07:38:19  <TrueBrain> in other good news, Steam approved our Game Build
07:38:29  <TrueBrain> well, they only checked Windows, as due to Corona, they cannot check macOS
07:38:30  <TrueBrain> lol
07:38:49  <TrueBrain> so it seems that on the 14th of Feb it will show our "planned release" date :)
07:43:00  *** sla_ro|master has joined #openttd
07:45:19  *** supermop_Home has quit IRC
07:48:59  <_dp_> what's the proper way to hide element completely in the ui? WWT_PANEL seems to reserve space even if the current pane is empty
08:00:15  <TrueBrain> I think the master-server problem is because someone has been announcing his server a lot in a very short period of time .. like .. a crashloop or something
08:01:00  <TrueBrain> guess it needs an IP-throttle or something
08:02:19  <_dp_> crash loop huh
08:02:33  <_dp_> hope it wasn't me xD
08:03:17  <TrueBrain> in the massive amount of logs this generated, it is hard to see what happened exactly ... I have to download the logs tonight, I guess
08:03:22  <TrueBrain> and see in detail what it was doing
08:03:53  <TrueBrain> and let's hope it now recovers to a normal level soon, as I really have to go :P
08:05:56  <andythenorth> \o/
08:06:04  <TrueBrain> another piece of the puzzle: possibly the TTL cleanup happened, as it just threw out 40+ servers that were no longer online ...
08:06:58  <TrueBrain> well, it is no longer throttled .. tonight more; byeezzzz
08:08:29  <_dp_> hm, quite a lot of advertisement on citymania but seems normal
08:09:39  <_dp_> well, except when it was failing and retries piled in
08:13:06  <_dp_> grep on citymania logs if that helps: https://pastebin.com/crXcCNmu
08:13:18  <_dp_> Sx after DEBUG is the number of the server

17:36:00  <DorpsGek> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD] glx22 opened pull request #8639: Add: Allow translation of "(Directory)" and "(Parent directory)" https://git.io/JtEWD
17:36:42  <glx> that's why I noticed the missing dep on english.txt ;)
17:36:49  <LordAro> :)
17:37:43  <LordAro> int64 args_array[] = { (int64)(size_t)dirname.c_str() };
17:37:45  <LordAro> wut.
17:37:56  <LordAro> that's disgusting
17:37:58  <glx> raw string
17:38:00  <LordAro> is that really how string parameters work?
17:38:16  <glx> yes it works that way
17:38:22  <LordAro> that's disappointing
17:39:00  <glx> unless I use SetDParamStr()
17:44:49  <glx> hmm I used the same way as in FormatString(), but I guess SetDParamStr will be cleaner
17:53:39  <DorpsGek> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD] glx22 updated pull request #8639: Add: Allow translation of "(Directory)" and "(Parent directory)" https://git.io/JtEWD
17:53:49  <glx> easier to read now
17:53:59  <LordAro> :)
17:54:45  <LordAro> is it worth '..' being a parameter at all?
17:54:58  <glx> I think in FormatString() we use the "weird" way to not mess with caller provided args
17:55:40  <glx> about '..' being a parameter I though about RTL languages
17:57:39  <glx> in untranslated version it looks weird, for some reason layouter draws it "(Parent directory) .." while it's still "dir\ (Directory)" for others
17:58:02  <glx> and drive letters are drawn ":C"
17:58:58  <glx> worst thing I noticed is display of current dir on top of the window, it's drawn "\D:\dir1\dir2"
17:59:19  <LordAro> ew
17:59:53  <glx> at least for both added strings translators will be able to manage that
18:01:33  <glx> I guess we'll need a report from concerned people to know how it should look :)
18:04:24  <DorpsGek> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD] SamuXarick opened pull request #8640: Fix: Missing or needed spaces https://git.io/JtElw
18:05:03  <Samu> that kind of PR that does nothing
18:06:52  <glx> IIRC translators can use text direction markers if needed

18:16:01  <TrueBrain> glx: if you merge that, make sure to change it into a Codechange; pretty sure it is not fixing anything. Makes life of who-ever writes the changelog ever so slightly easier
18:16:49  <glx> yeah rewording the commit message was intended
18:17:26  <DorpsGek> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD] DorpsGek pushed 1 commits to master https://git.io/JtE8U

18:18:02  <glx> Samu: nothing to add to the PR ? ;)
18:18:21  <Samu> can't spot anything else

18:20:42  <glx> no hurry to merge, it's not vital ;) and if you find more you can add them
18:21:18  <glx> as you often look in many parts of the code

18:28:38  <DorpsGek> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD] TrueBrain commented on pull request #8617: Change: Convert .md to .rtf/.txt for installers https://git.io/JtE81
18:29:15  <TrueBrain> I just don't understand converting Markdown to ".txt" :P But I fully understand that might be a bias on my side, so I would love another developers perspective
18:29:57  <TrueBrain> to me it is like: we have this human readable format, lets convert it to another human readable format .... :P
18:30:20  <glx> well markdown is human readable, but you don't "see" the formatting
18:30:29  <TrueBrain> neither you do in .txt
18:30:37  <TrueBrain> that is what I mean :)
18:30:39  <TrueBrain> nothing changes :P
18:30:53  <glx> ha yeah for txt it's almost useless
18:30:54  <TrueBrain> converting to rtf, PDF, Word, .. sure, I can get that
18:31:10  <TrueBrain> but I know I work in the world of IT mostly with nerds etc .. so I also understand I am biased :)
18:31:43  <glx> but I can understand some people not knowing they can open a .md in notepad
18:31:49  <TrueBrain> pandoc doesn't even bother changing the Markdown [text](url) format
18:31:58  <TrueBrain> well, the PR changes it to rtf for Windows
18:32:01  <TrueBrain> so we solved that issue :P
18:33:37  <TrueBrain> how did we get from 80 to 100 issues in a month .. pfft
18:33:46  <glx> easy ;)
18:34:04  <TrueBrain> owh, yeah, people making 4 issues for a single problem
18:34:13  <TrueBrain> the black/white approach :)

18:39:55  <Samu> ok, :p
18:41:01  <frosch123> i do not understand info@ anymore
18:41:31  <TrueBrain> https://gist.github.com/TrueBrain/236abc053f30c221ccae21896a4e07a7 <- I will ask 2TallTyler if this helps him, but what do you guys think?
18:41:37  <frosch123> since the steam thing started, i can no longer distinguish between pure spam, and weird people
18:42:32  <TrueBrain> you blame Steam, but is that fair? :P
18:42:47  <TrueBrain> the one mail, sure
18:43:10  <TrueBrain> but we had some weird ass mails anyway :D
18:43:13  <frosch123> well, now we get real mail from real people, but they think we are a company
18:43:27  <TrueBrain> blame that on the certificate for macOS :P
18:43:33  <TrueBrain> :D :D
18:43:39  <glx> <TrueBrain> but we had some weird ass mails anyway :D <-- yeah and I sometimes am in CC
18:43:54  <frosch123> while previously "we have a business opportunity" was always fake
18:44:05  <LordAro> TrueBrain: xkcd#37, etc
18:44:19  <TrueBrain> I btw emailed Steam with: wtf happened to the release date? I enter 1 april, you say 1 feb, but you don't allow us to release before the 14th feb .. what give?! :P
18:45:21  <TrueBrain> LordAro: did I use a hyphen? :)
18:45:39  <TrueBrain> not sure if it is any better that I did not use a hyphen honestly
18:45:52  <TrueBrain> in fact, pretty sure I hope we did not get any ass mail :P
18:46:31  <LordAro> :p
18:47:37  <DorpsGek> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD] SamuXarick updated pull request #8640: Fix: Missing or needed spaces https://git.io/JtElw
18:47:38  <TrueBrain> so, right, DynamoDB said BOOOMMM last night .. lets see if I can find out why
18:48:26  <TrueBrain> I also know what I am going to do about the ads on the master server
18:48:37  <TrueBrain> but first ... why on earth do we have this many more advertisements all of a sudden
18:48:38  <LordAro> banhammer?
18:48:55  <TrueBrain> they use dynamic IPs, so it is not trivial .. but I think I found an elegant way :)
18:49:20  <TrueBrain> but I don't know if it is related, but the ad has changed MO
18:51:02  <TrueBrain> we don't appear to have many more servers online (I think?)
18:51:03  <_dp_> MO?
18:51:09  <TrueBrain> Modus Operandi
18:51:18  <TrueBrain> They now have 1 client active on all servers (and updated to 1.10.3)
18:51:25  <FLHerne> TrueBrain: But the alternative is people writing four problems in a single issue, and that's worse
18:52:46  <_dp_> idk, they seem to have all kinds of versions
18:52:58  <_dp_> 1.8.0, 1.10.1
18:53:00  <TrueBrain> they didn't have 1.10.3 earlier, and not 1 client active :P
18:53:15  <TrueBrain> anyway ... how to trace where this extra traffic is coming from .. hmm
18:54:49  <TrueBrain> tnx for your server logs _dp_
18:54:55  <TrueBrain> shows that everything is behaving normal
18:55:00  <TrueBrain> for normal people :P
18:55:54  <TrueBrain> https://pasteboard.co/JMwUadJ.png <- this is btw what happened
18:56:00  <TrueBrain> red line is provisioned capacity
18:56:11  <TrueBrain> you can see where I scaled up, and how much I had to scale up
18:56:18  <LordAro> that is quite a lot
18:56:44  <TrueBrain> that would be equal to 5 times more servers, the amount of traffic
18:59:48  <TrueBrain> well, lets start with a redeployment, maybe that magically fixes things or something
19:00:05  *** nielsm has quit IRC
19:03:50  <TrueBrain> stupid aiohttp still hasn't put out a new release? Pfft

19:07:12  <TrueBrain> pip finally does decent version checks ... this will be painful :P
19:07:56  <LordAro> ah yes, i heard of this
19:08:07  <TrueBrain> The conflict is caused by:
19:08:07  <TrueBrain>     The user requested smmap==4.0.0
19:08:07  <TrueBrain>     gitdb 4.0.5 depends on smmap<4 and >=3.0.1
19:08:07  <LordAro> they also put it in their final release of pip for py27
19:08:10  <TrueBrain> shit like that
19:08:12  <LordAro> which broke a lot of projects
19:08:44  <TrueBrain> well, they were warned to upgrade :P
19:09:13  <LordAro> true, but this was a massive hulking enterprise project that my friend was complaining about :p
19:10:07  <TrueBrain> even ... more reason they should already taken care of it :P :P
19:10:16  <TrueBrain> hmm .. do we update pip in the Dockerfiles
19:10:16  <TrueBrain> hmm
19:10:21  <TrueBrain> I guess that should be perfectly fine
19:12:31  <TrueBrain> pyup and me are not going to be friends for long, honestly
19:12:48  <TrueBrain> really need a better alternative .. which doesn't make 1 PR per change :P

19:39:23  <FLHerne> TrueBrain: My concern is that people often assume that "OpenTTD" expands to "Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe", I've seen that spelling in several past reviews/magazine articles
19:39:26  <frosch123> _dp_: i am not someone who would recognise the trees by their pixels, but given the screeenshot author, it's most likely "stolen trees"
19:39:45  <FLHerne> And on the unofficial emscripten site that existed at one time
19:39:53  <frosch123> _dp_: all screenshots in the banner are winning entries of "screenshot of the month"
19:40:05  <TrueBrain> FLHerne: but it doesn't. So why reference the trademark? That would only confuse people more? (honest questions btw, to be clear :D)
19:40:27  <FLHerne> TrueBrain: The page already mentions "Transport Tycoon Deluxe" several times
19:40:35  <TrueBrain> yes, but in a non-trademark way
19:40:39  <_dp_> it's pretty easy to recognize stolen trees because all other trees look awful :p
19:40:48  <TrueBrain> mentioning that the trademark of something belongs to another, gives the impression we are selling their product
19:40:49  <TrueBrain> which we are not
19:41:13  <TrueBrain> so mentioning it has a counter-productive result, I think; at least from a legal point of view, if I get this trademark stuff right :D
19:41:34  <FLHerne> Yes, but it seems confusing to have "OpenTTD is a remake of ... Transport Tycoon Deluxe" and not make it clear that it *doesn't* technically expand to that
19:42:02  <TrueBrain> that sentence is on most places that talk about OpenTTD
19:42:40  <frosch123> _dp_: aren't they way too big?
19:42:47  <TrueBrain> We have always been clear we are called OpenTTD .. we even corrected several news-outlets there :)
19:42:49  <FLHerne> Yes, which is why so many outsiders make that mistake
19:43:11  <TrueBrain> but mentioning the trademark is not going to fix that
19:43:41  <milek7_> maybe 'OpenTTD is not endrosed or affilated in any way with <ttd trademark owner>'?
19:43:59  <TrueBrain> I think that just wakes up sleeping dogs, honestly
19:44:06  <FLHerne> The natural reading of "Open<acronym> is blah blah <capitalized expansion of acronym>" is that it stands for that
19:44:22  <TrueBrain> I get what you are saying FLHerne ; I just don't think mentioning the trademark resolves that :)
19:44:28  <TrueBrain> in fact, I think that works counterproductive :P
19:45:09  <_dp_> frosch123, look fine to me :p
19:45:19  <FLHerne> What milek7_ said then, or both
19:45:22  <frosch123> i would leave "talking about trademarks" to lawyers
19:45:42  <frosch123> i don't think anyone here can make a useful sentence with it :)
19:45:42  <TrueBrain> everywhere I have read in the last 10 minutes make it clear: mention trademarks if you sell or advertise their goods
19:45:49  <FLHerne> "Transport Tycoon Deluxe is a trademark of <whoever>. OpenTTD is not affiliated with <whoever>"
19:46:34  <FLHerne> Yes, and my worry is that the page makes a strong implication that it's selling their goods
19:47:20  <FLHerne> It repeatedly mentions the Transport Tycoon trademark and games, without ever making a clear statement that it's not legally associated with them
19:47:53  <TrueBrain> just for my understanding: what changes with going on Steam? As in, both our wiki and wikipedia has been mentioning it in this form for 16 years now, so I wonder how you see this differently (again, honest question)
19:48:59  <FLHerne> People actually look at Steam :p
19:49:09  <TrueBrain> pretty sure people look at wikipedia too :)
19:49:39  <TrueBrain> anyway, "don't mention trademark if no lawyer is involved" seems to be the general advise
19:49:39  <FLHerne> Less flippantly, Steam is primarily a commercial-games-publisher platform, you kind of expect that stuff sold through it is 'official'
19:49:56  <FLHerne> No-one cares if Wikipedia says it
19:50:05  <TrueBrain> so to step passed that issue, I understand that you might think having OpenTTD and "Transport Tycoon Deluxe" in close proximity can lead people to the wrong conclusion
19:50:14  <TrueBrain> we can, without mentioning trademark, of course add a line to make that more clear
19:50:20  <FLHerne> Wikipedia is written by random people, you can't hold OTTD responsible for third-party descriptions
19:50:32  <TrueBrain> we say it on our wiki, even our website
19:50:44  <TrueBrain> I mean, in your face, on www.openttd.org, is "OpenTTD is an open source simulation game based upon Transport Tycoon Deluxe"
19:50:44  <FLHerne> It causes confusion there too
19:50:47  <FLHerne> Repeatedly
19:51:00  <TrueBrain> but okay, we can debate that; it is a matter of opinion. More useful, what we can do to solve it
19:51:08  <TrueBrain> mentioning trademark is not solving it (in fact, possibly making it worse)
19:51:15  <FLHerne> As you say, "we even corrected several news-outlets there"
19:51:16  <TrueBrain> but we can mention it in 10000 different ways
19:51:24  <TrueBrain> so lets focus on that ;)
19:51:48  <Samu> going steam = demise of openttd
19:51:54  <Samu> but ok
19:52:06  <FLHerne> Depends how up-front it needs to be
19:52:19  <FLHerne> Very up-front would be adding something to the first paragraph
19:52:52  <TrueBrain> like?
19:53:01  <FLHerne> "It is an open-source remake and expansion of the 1995 Chris Sawyer video game Transport Tycoon Deluxe, but not affiliated with that game's publishers"
19:53:11  <FLHerne> Probably not quite the right wording
19:53:21  <FLHerne> But that kind of line
19:53:33  <TrueBrain> so who can find the right wording? :D
19:53:34  <FLHerne> Less up-front would be to add a note under "Free and open source" at the bottom
19:54:00  <TrueBrain> (I suck at english when it comes to these texts, so don't look at me :P)
19:54:05  <TrueBrain> current text is not written by me, at all :D
19:54:19  <frosch123> _dp_: actually, the real question is: is that screenshot made with ttdp :p
19:54:45  <FLHerne> "OpenTTD is free and open-source software, licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2.0. OpenTTD is under ongoing development. OpenTTD is not affiliated with the original game's publishers, and "TTD" should not be expanded to "Transport Tycoon Deluxe" which is a trademark of <whoever>"
19:54:59  <FLHerne> I think I prefer this one
19:55:16  <TrueBrain> mentioning something should not be done might not be the best way of wording it
19:55:26  <FLHerne> does not expand to?
19:55:34  <FLHerne> 'does not stand for'?
19:55:36  <TrueBrain> OpenTTD is not an abbreviation of anything
19:55:38  <Samu> rename the game
19:56:05  <FLHerne> Well, "TTD" kind of does
19:56:12  <TrueBrain> "OpenTTD is not affiliated with the original game's publishers and OpenTTD is not an abbreviation of anything."? :D
19:56:29  <TrueBrain> "OpenTTD is not affiliated with the publishers of Transport Tycoon Deluxe and OpenTTD is not an abbreviation of anything."? :D
19:56:42  <FLHerne> Not sure if first one is clear enough
19:56:47  <FLHerne> Second one is kind of funny
19:56:49  <TrueBrain> its a weird thing to say, honestly
19:57:03  <FLHerne> It's self-consciously weird, which is...ok?
19:57:04  <TrueBrain> "OpenTTD is free and open-source software, licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2.0. OpenTTD is under ongoing development. OpenTTD is not an abbreviation of anything."
19:57:12  <FLHerne> It's a weird and silly distinction
19:57:53  <TrueBrain> to be clear, pretty sure no judge will rule in our favour
19:57:59  <TrueBrain> so for me this is ... "lood om oud ijzer"
19:58:02  <FLHerne> "OpenTTD is not an abbreviation of anything, and in particular not of "Transport Tycoon Deluxe" which is a trademark of <whoever>?"
19:58:05  <TrueBrain> euh .. what is the english saying
19:58:16  <FLHerne> I think you might be right really
19:58:39  <TrueBrain> so I am all with you if we can add anything to avoids people calling is Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe
19:58:47  <TrueBrain> but making it all legaly and shit .. I doubt that flies :)
19:58:52  <Samu> rename the game
19:58:56  *** arikover has joined #openttd
19:59:10  <TrueBrain> wow, so many typos in 2 sentences, insane .. what-ever, it is late :P
19:59:11  <FLHerne> Quick, ask andy for a silly name
19:59:27  <Samu> try to find clones of OpenTTD in china
19:59:48  <TrueBrain> I now really want to add "OpenTTD is not an abbreviation of anything", just because it sounds so lovely silly and tongue cheek remark :P
19:59:54  <FLHerne> Pixel Cargo Game Improved
19:59:58  <FLHerne> TrueBrain: +1
20:00:18  <Samu> Open Cargo Transportation Sandbox
20:00:20  <Samu> lel
20:01:34  <TrueBrain> FLHerne: it will be there next time I publish the store page :P
20:01:54  <_dp_> yeye, we even have TTD in capital letters because it's definitely not an abbreviation of anything :p
20:02:09  <TrueBrain> _dp_: whistles innocent :)
20:02:15  <TrueBrain> as I said, it won't fly with any judge, I assume
20:02:28  <TrueBrain> but we are for sure not called Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe, people really should stop doing that
20:03:08  <TrueBrain> I configured pyup to update eints, but it just refuses to do so
20:03:09  <TrueBrain> ugh
20:03:23  <TrueBrain> pyup was really good .. but become more and more ... mediocre ...

20:07:03  <Samu> and the game is full of Copyrights, they're also adding more car brands, im just not sure how legal this is
20:07:14  <Samu> brands exist in real life
20:07:30  <Samu> point is, the servers are still running

20:21:22  <Samu> who did the review for the code about group gui? there's some weird stuff there
20:21:45  <Samu> const Vehicle *v = nullptr;
20:21:50  <TrueBrain> you want a pitchfork with that?
20:22:02  <Samu> (random code what to do with v)
20:22:04  <Samu> then suddenly
20:22:16  <Samu> if (v) { do stuff }
20:22:28  <milek7> Samu: seems fine?
20:22:28  <Samu> if (v) ?
20:22:37  <Samu> it's really weird
20:22:59  <LordAro> Samu: link to line?
20:23:14  <Samu> 753, group_gui.cpp
20:26:02  <frosch123> TrueBrain: is valve done with the review?
20:26:07  <TrueBrain> frosch123: yup
20:26:15  <TrueBrain> all green, set to release on 1st of April :)
20:26:25  <TrueBrain> hence the news post :D
20:26:41  <frosch123> yes, exactly why i am asking :)
20:26:45  <TrueBrain> :D
20:26:59  <TrueBrain> I didn't want to post before it was all green, but clearly we think the same there :D
20:27:22  <TrueBrain> their game review process is funny btw .. "we didn't do macOS because covid" :)
20:27:36  <TrueBrain> it is good they check if games are actually .. you know .. games
20:27:56  <frosch123> how does release on 1st april work? do we tag/build on 31 march? or does 1.10.3 become available for some hours?
20:28:12  <TrueBrain> I planned it for 12:00 GMT on the 1st of April
20:28:20  <TrueBrain> I can delay that till 20:00 or something
20:28:39  <TrueBrain> so my idea was to just release it on the 1st, and by then it should auto-publish on Steam too :P
20:28:50  <TrueBrain> (I have yet to write that part, but .. it should be fine before that time)
20:29:54  <frosch123> i think the "someone else is asking money for ottd on some store" is weird to put into a newspost
20:31:01  <frosch123> stating it as "others put it on stores, updating at random times" would be a positive statement
20:31:08  <TrueBrain> good point
20:33:49  <frosch123> who knows, maybe it was CS :p

20:37:49  <frosch123> isn't the title enough? :p

20:45:11  <TrueBrain> it is easier, monthly updates, it is still boring as fuck :P
20:45:23  <LordAro> automate it! :p
20:45:33  <TrueBrain> would require end-to-end checks ...
20:45:40  <TrueBrain> not impossible, but that requires automating OpenTTD itself
20:45:45  <LordAro> hehe
20:46:00  <TrueBrain> not impossible with console commands honestly
20:46:04  <TrueBrain> so yeah, that is possible

21:02:54  <frosch123> maybe someone patched fast-forward for servers, and increased the interval to 5 seconds :p
21:03:11  <TrueBrain> AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'
21:03:32  <TrueBrain> right, guess I should fix DorpsGek first
21:03:58  <TrueBrain> btw, frosch123 , any other feedback on the news post?
21:05:15  <frosch123> content is fine. i would have used different prepositons in various places, but that's english' problem :p
21:05:55  <frosch123> oh dear, you copied the "hair" thing :/
21:06:01  <TrueBrain> it was funny! :P
21:06:09  <TrueBrain> and please feel free to correct any of these
21:07:33  <TrueBrain> (the PR is made from a branch in OpenTTD/website, so you can just edit it if you don't mind :D)
21:08:08  <frosch123> did you use the webeditor?
21:08:20  <TrueBrain> yes
21:11:15  <TrueBrain> [OpenTTD/DorpsGek] TTrueBrain opened pull request #43: Two bugs that appeared after the last bump https://git.io/JtEgd
21:11:21  <TrueBrain> TTTTTTTruebrain
21:11:33  <LordAro> wut
21:11:35  <TrueBrain> (copy/paste error, nothing to worry about :P)
21:11:54  <LordAro> oh, it was you :p
21:12:04  <glx> someone used @say ?
21:12:23  <TrueBrain> you think people can use @say on me?
21:12:23  <TrueBrain> brrr
21:12:48  <glx> oh silly me, I though it was DorpsGek
21:12:53  <TrueBrain> now the next release is also going to cause a bot-fight, but lets see if I can be clever about that :D

21:19:16  <TrueBrain> text in the comment is okay?
21:19:30  <frosch123> i would also add a "on" there :p
21:19:36  <TrueBrain> edit it plzzz :D
21:19:40  <frosch123> but no idea, blame english :p
21:20:13  <TrueBrain> ah, I had that initially, but removed it as it felt wrong :P

21:20:34  <TrueBrain> well, guess I have a ton of social media stuff to do in a sec :D
21:21:14  <frosch123> duplicating the entire news history into a youtube community discussion with polls on each?

21:58:21  <TrueBrain> okay, I did all the socials
21:58:23  <TrueBrain> it is now official
21:58:30  <TrueBrain> let the shitstorm begin :P
21:58:52  <LordAro> :o
21:59:34  <TrueBrain> yeah ... this has a high chance of blowing up :P
21:59:42  <TrueBrain> but ... we have to go through that some day :P
22:00:09  <TrueBrain> it is already retweeted more than the 1.11 beta annoucement
22:00:22  <TrueBrain> right .. I don't have hackernews ...
22:00:29  <TrueBrain> the only one missing really .. well .. what-ever :P
22:00:51  <LordAro> you don't have to fully manage the social medias :p
22:01:07  <LordAro> some of it you can let other people share :p
22:01:31  <TrueBrain> :D
22:05:56  <TrueBrain> frosch123: well, indeed, a single IP doing a shitstorm of REGISTERs
22:06:05  <TrueBrain> 4 every second or so
22:06:22  *** Progman has quit IRC
22:07:09  <TrueBrain> now to find out how to contact that person
22:09:19  <TrueBrain> for now, an IP ban (AWS-wide)
22:10:06  <LordAro> TrueBrain: is that the master-server traffic?
22:10:11  <TrueBrain> yes
22:10:27  <LordAro> how odd
22:11:23  <TrueBrain> I think his server is cycling
22:11:33  <TrueBrain> but that is just a wild guess, honestly
22:13:15  <frosch123> current theory: game says "restart in year 3000". in-game date is "2999-12-31"
22:13:35  <frosch123> so it probably runs in a cycle: load savegame on 2999-12-31. run a day, exit, repeat
22:14:11  <TrueBrain> yeah ... that fits perfectly with what I am seeing honestly
22:15:47  <TrueBrain> mostly, looking at the server in question etc, it doesn't seem like a deliberate thing
22:15:54  <TrueBrain> now the question .. is this something we should fix in OpenTTD
22:15:58  <TrueBrain> or consider it so rare, that it doesn't matter
22:16:26  *** sla_ro|master has quit IRC
22:17:03  <TrueBrain> wow, that IP ban did its job for sure
22:17:22  <TrueBrain> https://pasteboard.co/JMydYNa.png
22:17:53  <glx> immediate drop
22:18:21  <TrueBrain> right, let me minimize the IP ban to the master-server port only
22:18:57  <LordAro> nice.
22:24:53  <TrueBrain> crazy how many people don't take 1th of April serious
22:25:00  <TrueBrain> 12 years later, and people still think we are joking around :P
22:25:50  <Timberwolf> Maybe this is the solution to the issue tracker problem. Gate the Create Issue button behind "on what day of the year is a new version of OpenTTD traditionally released?"
22:27:04  <TrueBrain> evil :D
22:30:53  <TrueBrain> _dp_: there is something missing in the server listing, and I wonder if you can find out what :D Some hints: there used to be many, there are now 2 (and soon zero).
22:30:53  <LordAro> :D
22:32:04  <TrueBrain> and yes, this is a riddle :P
22:34:57  <frosch123> don't spoil the solution
22:35:35  <TrueBrain> he can PM me his solution :D
22:35:57  <TrueBrain> well, lets put it this way: I have something special for anyone who can solve my riddle :P Just PM me, and you get a present !
22:36:10  <frosch123> a kick?
22:36:13  <TrueBrain> no no
22:36:14  <TrueBrain> a real present!
22:36:24  <TrueBrain> I for once have something I can give people :)
22:36:29  <TrueBrain> (well, OpenTTD related)
22:36:45  <frosch123> ah. i have an idea, but i think it's no use for me
22:36:53  <TrueBrain> it is of no use to you :)
22:39:59  <_dp_> I was gonna answer without even looking but chat became weird :/
22:41:03  <TrueBrain> you can say no to the present, no worries :)
22:42:24  <TrueBrain> OpenTTD is wishlisted 584 times, and removed from wishlist 4 times :P
