[Server 5.2.0] Asia Thailand : CLOSED

[Festus1965]

* after a electric shutdown,
and realized another issue in -dev (/revoke shout works, but client still talk in chat)
* used the change to cmake, install stable 5.1.1
(but failure in stairs on stoneman73 roof still there)


add:
* Backup done - 15,659,321,074 bytes

[Festus1965]

* Backup done - 15,060,185,759 bytes

* check again monitoring after some updates,
* connected 2nd monitor, as easier handle admin, and watch new gamer, also check IP of gamer
* update and restart server os

* [mod] border - kept 2 days up = closed
check the blocked names as seen on pandorabox.io server, but as there are about 10, same time I get one. No idea why, but ... it i

added 03.03.20
watching the terminal beside gaming, ... show interesting
* MOST (beside dig,craft, build message) = A mismatched client tried to connect from ... (yeah, top on the one list server of all versions), oh sometime same IP about 10 times again, again ...
* second often 9gamer) supplied empty password - also this guys cant read ? try it up to5 times again
* then the no-guests blocks all gibberish names, or with 3+ numbers
* after then, someone get in ... not read anything and just start dumb digging ... not realizing there is protection block, and area ... after all: if they move anyway

* so about 50 of all above is going one ONE successful gamer, that reach open land, find stuff and build house


added later:
NEW best time - banned inert 30 seconds after first login, as of be able to dig through 1st layer obsidian glass, under granite and die at lava under this ... reason "stupid digger", 365 days off .... IP from Paris

[Festus1965]

back from a one night travel, sponsoring a building for school about 180 km away where no movie center, shopping center exist ...

Server is back

after I see no electric somewhere 6.2. 17:40 too long for the batteries

[Festus1965]

backup is done, and secured (external hdd)
* postgresql --> dump file

as yesterday fishing opening I was too busy with the kids here ...


added:
I / WE never should forget get cheated by minetest every day as of:
* wrong (centralized) ping measurements = not finding the most near server location
* missing server lag showing, maybe combined with distance ... to get real fast server
* sorted by player in server, and no other choice as of maybe technic, monster, space ...
* the reason of doing a new protocol and v5.x absolutely dismissed as of listening also mt4 and other, sometime illegal, copies ...

= other games are faster, and better graphic ... so choose wise !


light my day up!
11:53:59 mohammed (IP India/Bengaluru) joins game
11:55:44 mohammed tried to dig at protected position
? mohammed chat: "how to play"
11:57:55 mohammed leaves gamer (= better so)

two options:
* quantity before quality = results in this not knowing anything
* quality ? gamer need not even 4 minutes to realize, game not worth ?


added 11.03. - wow
* I got toolranks running, but need a lot of work to include all the other tools
* mod postool from pandorabox coders included, big help to use full mapblocks to keep installations inside a mapblock

added 14.03.2020
* as of strong SMOG here around ChiangMai my daughter is forbidden to leave house, as I have 4 air filter and keep inside house green, sometime even blue)
* as of holiday a lot of her friends are in
* as of CoVid-19 more people use internet (game) as I told parent, let them = more login
* as of more people I guess tomorrow the backup size will have increased a lot
* at new restart server new 1.27 mod etherreal will be there instead of old 1.07
* at new restart also mod lavatools will be available
* the /spawn got a new TravelNet ring = "Biomes" let visit/gat a look onto the until now 17 detected biome
* the internal wiki get enlarged with short introductions to mods like technic, pipeworks ...
* also at spawn exit a TravelNet rind Shops got started

and even with 40 logins yesterday still good to play, also explorer didn't get black wall in front.
but world wide internet seam to suffer, some time connection problems to monitoring in CH

[Festus1965]

As I dont work (own decision and also very difficult to get permit here in Thailand) I am sitting near 12 hours watching my server on the two monitor:
* htop
* terminal with all actions
* mapserver
* 2 clients as also Thailand

it is sometime not funny so see what happen here:
* still a lot of mismatched client - and this sometime 10 times behind SAME IP. --> So why still serving both versions and sure other cloned ... on same server-list as the users (clients) still dont get it.

* still a lot of successful logins, that have nothing else to do than dig, dig dig ... whatever they see. Some are not even able to leave the 10*10 spawn are through one of the 4 TravelNet to view or exit it ... "tried to dig at protected ..."

* and a lot of gamer are so spoil, that just realize missing fast priv = logout

* and in this forum a Russian text, auto bot ? is spreading his fake since now 5 days, without a ban, cleanup from forum people ...

Wow - cheer for minetest.


added later:
and this kind sometime:

Code: Select all

gamer submitted formspec ('wiki:wiki') but server hasn't sent formspec to client, possible exploitation attempt

[Festus1965]

as of a lot of new (absolute starter without practice) gamer I see the need to prepare more practical shows what is available and how to use ...


as how can build a huge Base with command center and most or important automatic storage


first step MV hydro power tower with show and remember max supply and usage


enlarge with converter to 50.x HV to be able to power 5 qusrrys


or huge storage system for most of main build items, and also plants, food, or even Items for production of machines or others

... but time is low as of holiday and covid-19 I have more work as co-admin to watch new gamer, and take care the main gamer login most often.

[Festus1965]

backup is done, and secured (external hdd)
* postgresql --> dump file
size:17.801.409.905 byte

* grow in dump file size show that much more people are acting on the server now

* no more crash as of EUban or others yet, = sure some hacked client user tried something strange, and corrector of EUban file successful

* CoVid-19
guess (better HOPE) might be the last Sunday fishing competition at us is opening, as of covid-19 infected raised in Thailand just last 5 days with 32,33,35,0,85 cases to 411 now, and the until now called changes in public are not much enough, as we have seen in most other countries.

so please
- So stay at home as possible (only go work or needed shopping)
- If out, keep sheltered (easy mask is 61% protecting) or/and distance of more than 1.5 meter from others
- dont touch things, and wash your hands at least 20 sec with soap and water

Good luck

as on my calculations even in Hubai province China even this infected 67.000 people are just 0.12 % of population there, BUT an population immunization is reached when about 60% of them, here then 35.000.000 people need to be Immune (after Ill or with a vaccine, that is not there yet until 2021).
So in my opinion it will take a long time with this ... at least 2 years if we are lucky.

Go further with this it mean 35.000.000 people in 24 months = 1.462.000 will be infected every month to reach 60% in 2 years (or have to get vaccine) and if just 1% of them die = 14.620 death every month just in that Hubei Province.

I hope I am wrong and shutdown will be installed and people make it effective.

The less people are infected now (flatten curve) the more time we gain until a vaccine is available and helping to reduce death.

[Festus1965]

just crash
failed inside mod EUban
as of maybe still not found failure isbanned Text, so repair ? 3 more found text areas, as also one of the idiot from Jena

yeah yeah yeah ...
so go for 5.2.0 as possible

[Festus1965]

server updated to 5.2.0 (I saw something like 5.3.0-dev)
but problems with mod nether -> also updated
problem sill there with mod stairs -> updated
but not solved

code line with stairs:stair_cobble -> deactivated, comment -- = run

[Festus1965]

As of
* Corona and the lack of money here also at us
* most gamer stupid, thief's, destroy
* and so much crash, failure in MT even with newest mod update like crafting, mobs,...
* too slow or most time no access to forum


Both server monitor are off, and admin not logged in most time

no new gamers

[Festus1965]

to close the admin client windows and also the monitor showing them was a good idea:
I feel much better, as remember the last day, and so often similar situations.

This following happened in just 5 minutes I was watching, between two movies ...

gamer1: gamer3: I will help you how to play
gamer2: lol, I logged in 6 times with wrong name
gamer3: how I get an axe ?
admin: gamer4: IF you kill people in your shop with uranium I have to ban you
gamer1: help, I need food, I die !

this has absolutely happened that last day, before I close the screens, unbelievable ... maybe now I know why most admins are NOT on there servers so often.

today half-term check electric usage show less energy using ... not enough, as I set my air-con more needed then the server ..., outside near 40 degrees now and still SMOG in RED or more danger zone ... so the 25. shutdown seam final, until about September maybe, depend on summerheat and Corona

[Festus1965]

long time ago
* as server named "Wildes Land" near all gamer was also in the forum
* later still a fiew, but left server = as made their own one
* and now nobody of the gamer is here anymore,

= forum is useless now

forum is difficult to reach (504, 502, 500)
too much useless or double threads
and the less useful difficult to read (topic failed discussions)
and to report issues you are sent to git location of a mod

= no further update postings here anymore

bye

[Nicklas998]

Server:
the server crashed bc of me.
I played chess with myself (against the bot)
And won then the server crashed and dont came online again. what to do im sorry that i crash it:(

[Festus1965]

How you know it was as of you ? - You cant see logs.
If your sure, delete this chess game, dont use it anymore.

Basically as of strong storm with later thunderstorm OR maybe planed repair we had some electric shutdown,
mainly from about 1:40 to 3:40.

No damages at or near house - that is important.

All other news only inside server news - as it is luck to get access to this forum.


added (14.05.2020):
* seam worked, 16 days no crash !
* there is no reduce of our electric bill (25% of what is over 800 KWh usage), as of we are signed as industry connected (not as usual as we are outside of all villages here, with own transformer onto the 360 Volt network)

[Festus1965]

Added another 1 (now 10) Solar-panel into the Grid, should rise the Solar harvesting about 10% from today.
After harvest 346, 315, 335, 341, 358, 418, 391 and this electric bill section onto 24/25. of a month 405 KW h last 8 months (AVG 363 incl. low winter sun), but depending on clouds covering, it might be near 420 KW h next counting section.
Until yesterday 53.450 Baht spend build in (investment) and saved 12.715 Baht electric bill, 24% of the investment had been payed back in. 8*4 = 32 Months needed to get all investment back, after that = win.
With another 3.990 Baht spent yesterday to rise harvest Investment is now 57.440 Baht is still an income yet of 22 % of Investment.

Server still online, without daylight watch of log or logged in admins
After 16 days stable until a electric shutdown, even now again 5 days without crash.
Still see several gamer had been in, when check 1 minute in the morning.
Backups still done regularly on Sunday.

[Festus1965]

Mayor update of 19 mods, and 10 came new into ...

update:
* updated 21 mods
* new 13 mods

paul (paulabc), Celine (Cooking) Bonat and (as Thailand) me are fast rebuilding our (lost) builds from Pandorabox here again, exact same position, maybe some differences as of less mods
Youtube: rebuild together our shared Base
