News Displaying 11 to 20 of 100  I came across this reconstruction of X-Bomber for the procedurally generated game: No Man's Sky by twitter user: kareki_ni_mizu.
It might not be exactly elegant, but it is quite a striking and functional-looking design. I've spotted these settings before, but I hadn't made the connection that they could be used to push back on DDoS attacks:
phpBB • Specific ACP Load Settings: exactly what do they do?
You can throttle the number of sessions, which would mostly impact non-legit users anyway, if we received however-many thousands of sessions our resource allocation was able to handle last time, again.
It limits the demand on the server and keeps the site online - even if the forum is messed on with again.
I thought this info might be useful for any PHPBB admins who happen to pass by.
Congratulations to user: Gumboots for getting to the bottom of how those settings operate. Star Fleet Teams has been pushed back by 1 week to 20:00 UK time on 30th October, rather than the 23rd, due to a scheduling conflict.
I will update the main Star Fleet Teams page accordingly.
If this creates a conflict, let me know and we'll move it until we hit on a time that works for everyone that wants to join.  GVZtz1uakAAAFAd.jpg) I'm sure I came across twitter user: LunoriqreZX before.
They seem to be quite a fan of Star Fleet.
Their AI images of Princess Keeli and Lamia have been added to the fan artwork section.
On a completely different subject, I'm looking for a replacement for our SLIR online image resizer script because that script hasn't been developed in many moons.
It doesn't have any capability in the area of webp or avif formats that we see more-and-more of.
The 'alternatives' that I'm finding all seem to demand PHP 8+, so I'm gradually increasing the PHP version on the server and seeing what breaks first.  I'm sure I've come across this blue outline of X-Bomber before, but more recently, I came across the outputs from Illustrator, showing the process of making it, along with a very nice and useful graphic of the X Bomber logo.
I see that the creator has a redbubble, featuring this and other designs.  Found on nitter, this is an AI enhancement of the often-seen publicity shot of the X-Bomber studio model.
The enhancement process is quite striking and it gave me a very strong Chris Foss vibe.
At the same time, it seems to have introduced a few features that don't make perfect sense.
It makes you feel like you're looking at an Escher when you examine it more closely.  While things are quiet on the Star Fleet front, I wanted to share with you a website that I came across the other day while browsing around about the subject of Y2K futurism.
Deadnet Internet Services
Your pitstop on the Information Superhighway!
This site looks as though its design has been more-or-less untouched since 1999. It certainly has the turn-of-the-century website feel and yet it even now has a very active forum and IRQ full of very friendly people.
Also the internet radio stations are great.
I've been listening to the TechnoBase FM station a lot. It helps move the day along and, with the announcers being German, I can practice my German a little as well.  I set up a Star Fleet Teams for 23rd Oct at 20:00.
It's an hour-long Teams call for Star Fleet fans to catch up and chat on about whatever.
Please use this link to join the meeting, nearer the time.
You can join the group, to get future notifications directly, and get more info via the Star Fleet Teams page.
If anyone would like to join, and can't make it, please let me know and I'll see about shifting it around.
I wanted a 'Teams' logo for the Star Fleet Teams page, but the actual logo design is so bland, that I decided to throw my own one together based on the old MSN Messenger logo.  With all the work that got done giving the site selectable themes and colours, I thought the available selection could be expanded.
I sometimes miss my old Tripod site from about 2003. I based the colours for it on the Subaru Impreza WRC.
I went over to archive.org and some old files that I had lying around to reconstruct the look of it.
I'll add it to the theme select page once I've tested it a bit more.
In the meantime, try it out by clicking here.  A while ago, I played on with XAMPP on our downstairs Windows box that handles all our films and TV.
I wanted to have a look at the feasibility of hosting xbomber.co.uk on that server, in light of the seemingly ever-mounting costs of hosting.
It was clear that, even with a huge amount of work, the results of doing that were going to be sub-optimal.
That having been said, the solution did work, fundamentally.
So I tweaked on with the firewall on our router, which I wasn't expecting it to allow me to do, and presented the downstairs machine to respond to any HTTP(S) requests arriving at the router.
Since our hosts have made such an enormous deal out of continuing to host xbomber.co.uk at its current footprint, I don't want to grow the footprint of the site significantly.
At the same time, there are a number of big files that I've wanted to host for a long time, so I applied the XAMPP method to making those files available.
The first thing that it lets me do is provide a mirror for the AI upscale versions of the show.
You can just stream the mp4 files straight over the browser.
I tested it from an outside connection and it streams really quickly.
Downloading those files from megaupload or mega or whatever it is, is a huge ordeal now.
The site gives you a 'quota' without telling you how big it is.
After downloading a few episodes, it decides that that quota is exceeded and forces you to wait for 4, 5 hours, or even more than that, before allowing you to download a few more.
In the end, I gave up and found it far easier to track down where I'd put those files when I downloaded them in 2023.
It also lets me put up all source code and releases for X-Bomber the Game, as well as some videos of the game, taken at different stages of development.
The machine gets put into hibernation overnight sometimes, but generally, it should be available and might be an extra string to the bow.
What I feel like doing is getting something like a little toughpad with a decent-sized SSD and SD card and have it perform the same job.
That way, it would eat a lot less power: allowing it to be kept on permanently, and it could back up internally anything from the SSD to the SD card.
Anyway, with all that being said, check out what's on there. I have a few more things I want to add when I find them.
