2020-11-16 Thread HurricanePootis

   Hello hlds_linux gamers. Below I have copy and pasted a uber duper
   monke interaction between me (super chad monke gamer ohehoehoehoeho)
   and smelly virgin stephanin (yukc no monke). Imagine being so
   unmonke that you write bruh in captions with a space like, " bruh."
   If I ever do that unironically (:vommit:) i will literally implode
   and take out the entire monke planet with me. Remember kids, being
   cringe is very unmonke oehho eho hoeho hoe hoeoh eoho ehoe hoeho
   *proceds to fard n shit*



   You came in this late " bruh ".

   I am Dr. StealthMode Hus' Counsel.
   The initial thread was a related on topic thread. Which my client
   then began being cyberbullied / cyberstalked.

   Then I started this thread to let the criminals here know what's up.

   And this is also on topic.  As you will now lose these lists for
   engaging in criminal behavior multiple times, against multiple victims.

   So far as he this is relatedits the list that is being abused
   criminally to cyberbully / cyberstalk people.

   How that is related to the half life dedicated server is that vALVE
   is being sued in World Court for Intellectual Property Theft, and
   when this occurs your precious servers will no longer connect to
   Valve, VAC, nor will any Steam client be allowed to connect.

   Due to theft of the concept, and naming of Steaths' concept " Steam
   ". Valve named it REAKTOR. Ehich is why they will lose this case,
   where others have failed in the past.

   Stealth came here to just let his friends know. To be ready to
   switch products so their server company do not lose business /
   revenue when litigations begin. As the Court will automatically
   enter an Order to suspend use of Steam until the case is resolved.

   Hope that answers your question.

Assuming those emails weren't faked (and I have no reason to believe so unless 
evidence to the contrary appears), I believe you are correct. I will still try 
to remain neutral until this potentially legal conflict if Stephanie is 
correct/flamewar if not (which seems more likely, due to given evidence), has 
been resolved, and we can go back to relevant discussion.

In the UK, the term "legal counsel" is interchangeable with "Attorney", and the 
picture just seems to clear this fact up. However refusing to sit the bar exam 
means that generally that specific person can't serve in a court as a lawyer- 
hence the person isn't an attorney. However they can still do the other 
functions of a lawyer. Whilst the allegations put forward are backed with 
evidence yet to be available to me (I may simply check the archives), and the 
lack of verification of certification from d'Arc does raise validity questions, 
there's nothing at the moment completely "damning" apart from the previous 
mentioned and the questionable formality (but this may just be my own lack of 
perception).

As there is still a lack of evidence from the parties who put forward this 
allegation, I retain my position as of last message, but I will try to remain 
unbiased throughout so this doesn't dissolve into a 2004-esque forum flamewar.

Cyberbullying is using technology to threaten, harass, embarrass or target
another person. Some of the most common types of cyberbullying include:

   - Threats on online social media
   - Rude texts
   - Mean or negative tweets
   - Posting personal information and/or videos that are intended to hurt
   and embarrass someone

In some cases, cyberbullying actually can be considered a form of
harassment. Intimidation or meanness that focus on your gender, sexual
orientation, race or religion would be considered harassment. No matter if
the bullying is done in person or via the Web, this type of nastiness
qualifies as discrimination and is actually illegal in many states today.
This means that law enforcement can get involved in extreme cases of
cyberbullying, and bullies can face prosecution.

Cyberbullying has unique aspects that differentiate it from other types of
bullying:

   - Persistent: Digital devices allow people to communicate all the time,
   24 hours per day, 7 days per week. It can be hard for children and teens
   who are being bullied to get any relief.
   - Permanent: Most information that is stated online is both public and
   permanent unless specific action is taking to remove it. Having negative
   online items about oneself can lead to negative effects including
   difficulty getting work, getting into college and getting scholarships.
   - Hard to see: Teachers and parents may be unaware of much of the
   bullying that occurs online because it cannot be seen or heard.

In some cases, federal stalking charges
 can
be brought against offenders.


Many states have enacted laws outlawing cyberstalking and cyber harassment.
Also, many states are now enacting laws that explicitly outlaw
cyberbullying. At least 44 states have some laws on cyberbullying.

Different Types of Cyberbullying

There are many types of cyberbullying that can eventually lead to criminal
charges in the worst cases. If you or someone you know engages in these
types of behaviors, a criminal charge is possible:

   - Harassment: The bully sends malicious and offensive messages to a
   person and does so many times. This is a form of cyberstalking in the worst
   cases, and involves constant threatening and rude messages. It can
   eventually lead to physical harassment.
   - Flaming: This activity is similar to harassment. The difference is
   that it is a fight that occurs online that is done via email, texts and
   chat. It is a form of public, online bullying that can lead to very serious
   outcomes with harsh language and images shared about a particular person.
   - Exclusion: This is the act of singling out a person and leaving him or
   her out of an online group or site. The group will then harass the person
   that has been left out of the group.
   - Outing: When a bully shares a person’s personal and private
   information, including images and video in some cases. A person has been
   ‘outed’ if that person’s information is widely available online.
   - Masquerading: This is where the bully creates a false identity to
   harass a person on an anonymous basis. The cyberbully may also impersonate
   another person so to send that person nasty messages in the other person’s
   name.
   - Fraping: When a person logs onto the victim’s social media accounts
   and pretends to be that person. This is a very serious offense that some
   may think is entertaining but it can ruin another person’s reputation.
   Google generally will not forget anything that has been posted even if it
   is deleted so this is a very serious form of cyberbullying.
   - Trolling: This is the intentional act of getting a response online by
   using insults and bad language on social forums and social media sites. It
   is common for the troll to put down the victim and try to make the person
   angry and respond in kind.

Note that some forms of cyberbullying also can be sexual harassment.
Conduct does not need to be specifically sexual to be harassm

Re: [hlds_linux] hlds update? Could not establish connection to Steam servers.

2020-11-16 Thread Kyle Sanderson
Sorry I haven't looked at this list in a while (hopefully you already
found the answer!)... Windows uses the steamclient that's installed,
whereas on Linux it uses the steamclient that's shipped with the game
(Windows does too - if Steam is not installed). So if the game has an
old version of steamclient, you'll get stuck with situations like
this. The Ship for instance had the Steam Masters (Mains? in 2020)
hard coded into the binary and were eventually orphaned like this. I
know years ago Qwest was trying to take back their address space from
Valve and Aldred flipped addresses on us which broke a shit ton of
games - if there's a hard coded address against this it's possible you
were impacted when they made a trivial (to them) move.

Were you able to resolve it natively? I might not be able to help, but
CC me so it lands in my inbox and I can try to.

Quote

Cyberbullying is using technology to threaten, harass, embarrass or 
target another person. Some of the most common types of cyberbullying 
include:


  * Threats on online social media
  * Rude texts
  * Mean or negative tweets
  * Posting personal information and/or videos that are intended to
hurt and embarrass someone

In some cases, cyberbullying actually can be considered a form of 
harassment. Intimidation or meanness that focus on your gender, sexual 
orientation, race or religion would be considered harassment. No 
matter if the bullying is done in person or via the Web, this type of 
nastiness qualifies as discrimination and is actually illegal in many 
states today. This means that law enforcement can get involved in 
extreme cases of cyberbullying, and bullies can face prosecution.


Cyberbullying has unique aspects that differentiate it from other 
types of bullying:


  * Persistent: Digital devices allow people to communicate all the
time, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. It can be hard for
children and teens who are being bullied to get any relief.
  * Permanent: Most information that is stated online is both public
and permanent unless specific action is taking to remove it.
Having negative online items about oneself can lead to negative
effects including difficulty getting work, getting into college
and getting scholarships.
  * Hard to see: Teachers and parents may be unaware of much of the
bullying that occurs online because it cannot be seen or heard.

In some cases, federal stalking charges 
 can 
be brought against offenders.



Many states have enacted laws outlawing cyberstalking and cyber 
harassment. Also, many states are now enacting laws that explicitly 
outlaw cyberbullying. At least 44 states have some laws on cyberbullying.



Different Types of Cyberbullying

There are many types of cyberbullying that can eventually lead to 
criminal charges in the worst cases. If you or someone you know 
engages in these types of behaviors, a criminal charge is possible:


  * Harassment: The bully sends malicious and offensive messages to a
person and does so many times. This is a form of cyberstalking in
the worst cases, and involves constant threatening and rude
messages. It can eventually lead to physical harassment.
  * Flaming: This activity is similar to harassment. The difference is
that it is a fight that occurs online that is done via email,
texts and chat. It is a form of public, online bullying that can
lead to very serious outcomes with harsh language and images
shared about a particular person.

It works well enough running the windows version with wine on a linux

I wonder if they updated the steam client in the windows version, but

I'll set it up and post the error - it causes the linux server to crash

neither does metamod work. I have liblist.gam set correctly, but no 
metamod functions work. I'll get back to you with more details...


When I initially tested this, it was with a working config that I had 
not touched for years. All I did was update the hlds server binaries and 
libs. After the update, none of my servers would start, they all crashed 
in the exact same manner. Playing with liblist.gam did not help except 
when I removed metamod - that was the only way to get the server to start.

Ah buddy - I shouldn't have scanned back further than I did on the

server for well over a decade. Thank you very much for the

- otherwise there's another where the T is in all black clothing) was
always a fan favourite, Kim (I think that's what the model name was -

Half-Life in Source for Counter-Strike across the ecosystem.

Thanks for hanging around my friend - all the best.

Re: [hlds] Re: [hlds_linux] hlds update? Could not establish connection to Steam servers.

2020-11-16 Thread Ook

So to make a very long story very short...

I did a clean install of OP4, installed amx, and it worked. At this 
point I had one server with metamod/amx that works, one that doesn't. 
Now it's just a simple job to compare A to B to find out what is different.


Eventually I found the steamclient.so on my production server was 
different from the one on my test server. No idea why. So I copied the 
one from my working test server to my production server. Start 
production server. And my production server magically started working.


So now all four of my production servers at back and running, amx works, 
my other plugins work, and life is good again.


Where did that bad steamclient.so come from? Did Valve roll out a 
botched update, and have since fixed it? That gets my vote. If not then 
the client update somehow did not update steamclient.so. Or maybe I just 
screwed something - like that's never happened before.

Sorry I haven't looked at this list in a while (hopefully you already
found the answer!)... Windows uses the steamclient that's installed,
whereas on Linux it uses the steamclient that's shipped with the game
(Windows does too - if Steam is not installed). So if the game has an
old version of steamclient, you'll get stuck with situations like
this. The Ship for instance had the Steam Masters (Mains? in 2020)
hard coded into the binary and were eventually orphaned like this. I
know years ago Qwest was trying to take back their address space from
Valve and Aldred flipped addresses on us which broke a shit ton of
games - if there's a hard coded address against this it's possible you
were impacted when they made a trivial (to them) move.

Were you able to resolve it natively? I might not be able to help, but
CC me so it lands in my inbox and I can try to.

Best,
Kyle.

Well, as stupid as it sounds, I am able to get this to work by running
the Windows version of hlds with wine on Linux. I am stumped as to why,
with identical configs. the linux version gives the message "Could not
establish connection to Steam servers.", while the Winbloze version
running with wine works perfectly?

I've been running my OP4 servers for years. Bloody years. And for the
last few days, my players are messaging me, saying the my servers are
no longer on the server list. I look at console, and when I start
server I get:

Could not establish connection to Steam servers.

I've changed nothing. This has been working for many years. My ports
are unchanged. My ISP is not blocking anything (that I know of).

I used steamcmd to get a fresh copy of hlds and op4, and it looks like
some of the core server files had updated, so I applied the update,
but it changes nothing
