Coburn's online journal featuring thoughts, opinions of a programmer upside down in the Southern Hemisphere.
Alright, so I recently had to attempt a fix with a Microsoft Surface Pro 4 cooking itself in it’s own juices. This was for a client repair job and will only fix the issue via software. The overheating problem is a hardware issue and cannot be fixed entirely by software, but with this guide, you…
Alright, it’s time for a blog update and this one might be a bit of a doozy but here goes nothing. Originally, I wanted to do a post of a rant about some “micro optimizations” being rejected from Mirror, but that’ll be another day. For those who aren’t familiar with Mirror Networking, it’s a network…
As a developer of the Mirror Networking stack, sometimes I look in the help channels and see people wanting to use Android or iOS for game servers, where people would connect to each other’s phones and have a game session. Before I dive into the nitty gritty, I’m going to say it now: Using Mobile…
This apparently is a mono bug, and seems to happen if you try to invoke a Linux headless build on a Google Cloud VPS instance. From what I understand it’s something to do with the terminal emulator that the Google Cloud Console uses. If you used SSH to log into the server and started that…
Time for a change of pace and this time it’s a Mirror Networking post. The Problem Sometimes when you have purchased the Mirror List Server, which is written in Erlang and is a very robust old-school list server (think Quake/Call of Duty/Battlefield 1942) interface following the KISS principle, you’ll face an error regarding Erlang on…
Blue Vows is one game that I’ve had my eye on for some time, mainly because it’s literally a carbon chinese copy of KanColle Arcade, which is a 3D arcade adaptation of the Kantai Collection browser game hosted on the DMM Games platform. This game is in Chinese and has no English UI, so unless…
In case you aren’t aware, I’m the developer of the Ignorance Reliable UDP transport, and I can’t help but shake my head (and maybe sometimes laugh) when I see comments like this from known trolls. This guy randomly tries to throw a dagger at me and hopes he can inflict a response or something. To…
It’s fucking good with 16 Gigabit LAN Ports. Easy to setup, unfortunately this model doesn’t have Power over Ethernet so I have to use 2 power bricks for my PTP Access Point and Security Camera. Very quiet too – no fan perhaps? I do see a huge heatsink on the CPU inside through the vents….
So I woke up to the news that there’s a group of people going around trying to break into not only the GitHub accounts of the Mirror Developers. They are also trying to reset passwords in a bid to compromise the developers and cause some serious damage to the reputation of the Mirror Networking stack….
Just a quick update with the Girls Frontline Viewer project of mine. Development has resumed on it, however I am rebuilding it from scratch as I cannot find the compressed archive of the backup I made before I upgraded my computer hardware earlier this year. The plus side is that I’ve gotten rid of the…
