The original 100x100 source files of the artwork I made for a single.

     

The final cover art was scaled to 1400x1400, because that's what Bandcamp requires.

I am now actively rejecting SSH traffic for IP ranges of regions from which such traffic may be especially suspicious (China, Russia, India, etc.).

Trying to avoid the "Block the world" approach, and I'm not too worried about a network breach anyway.

power cycle your router maybe, if you havent for a while. there was some recent news about some russian-sourced malware that targeted routers, but can be disrupted/broken by powercycling your router

There's a dedicated firewall solution between my network and the DSL router/modem (That's where I saw the state record), so I'd be amazed if it was that, not to mention I restart everything on a pretty regular basis.

Pffft. My ISP doesn't even support IPv6.

I was working on my firewall and I saw a state show up indicating in IP from somewhere in China trying to log into my network over SSH.

Bring on the conspiracies.

Only listened to two tracks and I've bought it, good job!

Thanks for your support, M8!

I'll honestly be happy even if that's all the money I ever make off this. Just so long as there are people are enjoying it.

I did my best to balance the higher energy tracks in the album with cooler softer ones, and also to end of a high note. I'm honestly quite happy with how it turned out.

I have my crappy old job back now, so it's harder to get more music done, but I'm going to be working on more when I have time.

My first album has been released.

I'm quite happy with it. Even if it is simple.

Off Topic / Times You Spent Hours Fixing a Simple Problem

« on: May 04, 2018, 12:53:26 AM »

I just spent hours diagnosing an issue that was caused by me stupidly mistyping a single digit of an IP in a firewall NAT rule.

Could have been solved in two seconds if I had just noticed it sooner.

Instead I rebooted servers, double checked configurations, ran port diagnostics, and even even check to make sure SELinux wasn't blocking me

That was hours wasted on something incredibly simple.

When was a time you did dumb stuff like this.

Help / Default Add-Ons List

« on: April 16, 2018, 06:55:16 PM »

Does anyone happen to have a list of all the add-ons that come default with the game?

There's nothing wrong with my game, I've just added so much stuff that I can't remember now, and I'd prefer not to have to reinstall the game to figure this out.

When I was around 4-5, my brother's and I would play four player Bomberman on the SEGA Genesis with our friends.

I remember almost burning down several structures on several different occasions.
