Re: [hlds] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update released

Hello everyone,

IMO, the best way to keep passwords safe, are to have different, random
passwords. To be honest, for a human memory, it's impossible to remember
all your passwords using this method. To achieve this, you can use tools
like KeePass. Your problematic became not "how my password is secured" but
"how can I access to my password, safely, from any point of the world".
To do that, I'm using a VPS server, dedicated to this, hosted in a place I
"trust" (not in my country, and we'll known for there security). As it is
dedicated to this specific usage, I can have a very strict security policy,
using the firewall options of my hoster.

Don't forget to activate dual authentication when available etc etc.

My 2 cents.
Vivien

Private cloud, can't control it. Not my kind of tool.

Re: [hlds] Desperately Need Some Killing Floor 2 Servers Up

[Vivien FRENOT]

Hello,

Make KF2 server working with linux, and I will start 10 of them :D

 Hello everyone,

 So the good news is Killing Floor 2 is selling like crazy, and bumped
 GTAIV off the Steam top sellers in about 15 minutes. The bad news is,
 17,000 people are trying to play KF2 right now (and it's going up a couple
 thousand every few minutes) and we've got enough servers up to handle about
 7,000 players. Success is a good problem to have, but wow this really blew
 away our expectations.
