looks like the conclusion from this article is if you want to cheat: do it over the winter holiday

Runescape players came to a similar conclusion if you want to duplicate items by overloading/crashing worlds: do it during the weekend and night hours in Cambridge where Jagex is

> Ultimately, it is inevitable that you will encounter a cheater eventually, but we will just keep banning them all over and over again until they finally work up the courage to run the uninstaller.

What a great message to send to your fans. "We know we installed Ring 0 anticheat on your PC and banned Linux/Steam Deck players, but look at how useless it is!"

There's a lot of ways the cheater problem can be mostly neutralized, for example a dedicated matchmaking pool for players who ONLY have allowed devices, hardware, drivers. No ifs or buts or stupid exceptions like for LAN cafes.

For years, gamers have been told install xyz rootkit for your safety, enable xyz option in your BIOS, get a TPM, install the latest versions of windows, it's all for your security to make your experience better and cheat-free with state-of-the-art technology! across like 3 or 4 different vendors, and the outcome has been the same ever since the beginning: cheaters find ways to skirt basic restrictions, because companies don't _want_ to actually put an end to cheating. Especially more so for companies like valve that get cheaters constantly re-buying their games or "premium" status, not sure if this exists in the valorant realm

Just end the "gary's pool cleaning" problem once and for all rather than continue to play stupid games just on the off 0.00001% chance Gary's business (incorporated last week) decided to branch out to software. Let Gary come appeal to Riot directly and let them manually analyze whatever they need BEFOREHAND.

They're focusing on DETECTION rather than PREVENTION.

I'm finding out about Forgejo (and their reasons for forking Gitea) right now for the first time. I already migrated my Gogs install to Gitea, and now I have to migrate Gitea to Forgejo? This shit is why people just stay on Github.

Bandai Namco made a (Japanese-only) DS / Mobile game that did the same thing, 99 No Namida. Got a tiny bit of western media coverage due to the absurdity.

Wisconsin here, Before it went down, I got a notice that my IP had just been changed. It didn't say who sent the message. Im wondering if changing my IP address was part of a hack or a fix?

Mine intentionally faced a obstructed area, which it has never done before (installed in the same spot for multiple years)

You always could by just setting the proxy environment variables (or in settings). The standard port for the tor daemon is 9050.

In fact, it's relatively easy to write a socks proxy that lets you route traffic through a arbitrary protocols. For example, I can serve/visit websites on syncthing with a socks5 proxy as a translation layer: https://github.com/acheong08/syndicate

Chrome has zero user-facing proxy controls of its own on Windows, nor PAC support. But the --proxy-server command line argument works.

oldie but goodie, also I think OSU players wrote their own drivers for this.

Ironically, osu! had it's own built-in spyware until 2016, automatically uploading window and process names as well as manual commands to take full monitor screenshots in the name of preventing cheaters (both software-wise e.g Cheat Engine.exe is running, and sharing/boosting accounts, by checking if someone is logged into the same Skype account).
