| 11:59.08 | Cider | hello |
| 11:59.15 | Cider | i need help |
| 12:02.38 | Cider | i am porting the bzflag server to Rust (the programming language) |
| 12:07.33 | blast007 | just for fun? |
| 12:08.02 | Cider | yea |
| 12:08.14 | Cider | to practice Rust |
| 12:08.59 | blast007 | what question(s) do you have? |
| 12:09.41 | Cider | ok my question is |
| 12:12.09 | Cider | why my old ip is still banned? don't you know i don't DoS bzflag since last year. I changed ISP anyway xD. Now i have unlimited 3G mobile data, and it is cheap. And No, i won't port bzfs to Rust. I will create a new DoS tool in Rust, so be careful if you ban my new ISP |
| 12:12.18 | Cider | i am the dominican :D |
| 12:12.22 | Cider | XD |
| 12:12.50 | Cider | i got you XD |
| 12:13.14 | Cider | what's up my blast? |
| 12:13.30 | Cider | did you miss me? |
| 12:14.45 | blast007 | not really |
| 12:15.22 | Cider | that is to be a bit ungrateful |
| 12:15.41 | Cider | you fixed several bugs thanks to me |

| 12:20.10 | Cider | i dreamed about you every day |

| 18:11.36 | JeffM | are they in his machine? |
| 18:11.40 | JeffM | or his shell? |
| 18:12.20 | JeffM | maybe his deus needs some ex-machinations |
| 20:06.40 | JeffM | why do people keep thinking that resintalling an application will "fix" problems with user created data? |
| 20:07.26 | the_map | I believe that's because they expect config files to be reset also. |
| 20:08.46 | the_map | my install of libreoffice has been broken for a long time now, because I have yet to figure out how to get a clean reinstall of it and full wipe of all its config files |
| 20:11.45 | JeffM | most apps remake configs if you delete them |
| 20:11.55 | JeffM | but a big thing for uinstallers is to NOT blow out user changes. |
| 20:12.54 | JeffM | i'm just curious what kind of phishing scam that dude succumbed to |
| 20:13.58 | JeffM | at work, we ship an app that just cleans up all temp and config stuff in the rare cases where people need it |
| 20:14.44 | JeffM | in bzflag and many application's case, it's not good to blow out the config, it could be used by multiple installed versions |
| 20:14.54 | the_map | it drives me nuts that applications don't wipe configs (due to having a lot of issues...), but I understand why they don't |
| 20:15.16 | JeffM | adobie products have a checkbox on uinstall to do it |
| 20:21.39 | blast007 | the_map: that'd only wipe it from the user running the uninstaller |
| 20:23.15 | the_map | as the only user of my computer, I'm the only person I care about |
| 21:55.48 | Zehra | I generally have to search for configurations to delete them. |
| 21:56.21 | Zehra | Or leftover files from uninstalls. |
| 21:58.57 | blast007 | some focus could be put into figuring out why or how a configuration file can become corrupted |
| 22:04.52 | Zehra | Reminds me of what happened a while back. |
| 22:05.19 | Zehra | When my configuration file was corrupted and BZFlag wouldn't start due to it. |
| 22:06.12 | Zehra | I opened it in notepad++ and had to blank it and have it restart with default configurations. |
| 22:07.16 | Zehra | It probably was something which messed with the file, but afterwards everything worked alright. |
| 22:19.04 | JeffM | in one of the apps that I maintain, if I detect a bad config file, I tell the user and remake it from defaults. |
| 22:19.29 | JeffM | but then that app is named after poop |
| 22:35.40 | blast007 | it happens often enough that it's probably an issue with our config writing code, but I just have no idea how to reproduce the issue |
