00:00 IhrFussel Is there a way to dump an entire inventory so that I can simply use string.find() to look for certain stacks?
00:11 rubenwardy to_table
00:12 rubenwardy bad idea to do that though
00:12 rubenwardy unless for debugging

00:26 Sokomine IhrFussel: maybe contains_item can be of use for you?
00:56 IhrFussel If I call contains-item() 5-10 times wouldn't it be much slower than calling string.find() 5-10 times?
00:56 IhrFussel contains_item()
00:56 ANAND joined #minetest-hub
01:03 BillyS IhrFussel, I assume so, but dumping the table to a string might not be that fast either.

01:25 rubenwardy it would probably be slower

14:24 ANAND Is it possible to link more than two lists using listring[] to allow shift-clicking?
14:25 rubywarden joined #minetest-hub
14:26 sniper570 joined #minetest-hub
14:35 Krock ANAND: yes but it's only one "list ring"
14:36 Krock so you can allow to move multiple lists  into a main one, but only move from the main one to another list
14:36 ANAND Ah
14:37 Krock IIRC, it will take the next ring item (inventory list info) after the one which was triggered by the shift-click call
14:38 ANAND So multiple listrings for the main list won't result in unexpected behaviour?
14:39 Krock code to confirm my "IIRC" https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/src/gui/guiFormSpecMenu.cpp#L3640-L3652
14:40 Krock to move something out of the main list, it will take the first occurrence of the main list and take the next item to move the items there
14:40 Krock That behaviour is surely handled properly
14:41 ANAND Alright, I'll give it a shot
14:41 Krock but just calling listring[] probably won't do what you want, so specify parameters
14:42 ANAND Thought so... :)
14:44 ANAND Does the order of the listrings matter?
14:45 Krock ? Yes. Yes, it does.
14:45 rubenwardy Yes
14:45 ANAND The first is the origin, second the destination?
14:46 Krock yes and no
14:47 Krock imagine this: A B C. Shift click in C, and it'll be moved to A
14:47 Krock shift click in A and it'll go to B
14:47 Krock ofc is A defined first
14:47 ANAND ohh!
14:47 ANAND right
14:47 ANAND that makes it very clear
14:48 Krock !next
14:48 MinetestBot Another satisfied customer. Next!
14:48 ANAND Waaaaiiit! Not yet...
14:49 ANAND Do I have to use one pair of listrings for AB, BC, and CA?
14:49 ANAND i.e. 6 listrings in total?
14:50 ANAND or just A->B->C (i.e. 3)?
14:50 IhrFussel joined #minetest-hub
14:50 MinetestBot IhrFussel: Aug-06 11:23 UTC <Krock> contains_item is faster than dumping & string find
14:50 ANAND I'm guessing 6
14:50 Krock ANAND: no. specify one by one
14:50 ANAND right, thanks
14:50 Krock don't use listring[] without arguments when you have more than two lists
14:50 Krock unless you know what you do
14:50 IhrFussel Krock, are you sure that it#s still faster when I call it quite a few times? Isn't contains_item() a lookup every time?
14:51 ANAND Understood
14:51 Krock IhrFussel: ofc it is. but the lookup happens in C++
14:51 Krock so it's a simple function call, a hundred microseconds (roughly guessed) in C++ and then back to Lua
14:54 IhrFussel Okay then^^ Also is this guy implying that banning users shouldn't be a thing? There are lots of cases where banning is necessary and there is no other solution than to ignore troublemakers and let them destroy your server https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/7625#issuecomment-410674013
14:55 Krock No, they're suggesting that players must gain their interact&shout privs
14:55 IhrFussel The question is if banning makes even sense in MT if all we have is the IP
14:55 Krock so that the loss is higher
14:55 Krock probably worth closing that issue. Privacy issue.
14:56 IhrFussel You cannot make players gain their basic privs on every server... that depends fully on the gameplay you want to achieve
14:57 rubenwardy You can usually protect against grieifing and such pretty easy
14:57 Krock surely you can. It's as simple as an "I agree" button on join
14:57 rubenwardy The problem is with chat offenses and other subjective interactions
14:57 rubenwardy I agree doesn't mean they'll do it
14:58 Krock that's for interact. you could let them unlock shout by buying it or registering an email
14:58 rolig joined #minetest-hub
14:58 rubenwardy Every user on CTF has to click agree too
14:58 IhrFussel I also don't see it as a privacy problem if we can only detect the device they play on...their device doesn't belong to them in that sense, it's just one of billions
14:58 rubenwardy It's also hashed
14:58 Krock the issue is that a device is pretty much unique identifyable
14:58 rubenwardy The issue is that it's a tracking token
14:58 rubenwardy And yes that
14:59 rubenwardy It would be better to combine this with a central login system anyway
14:59 rubenwardy Well, or not do this
14:59 IhrFussel Just because you can detect a certain device doesn't mean you have access to any data...privacy is only about data
14:59 Krock IhrFussel: no but you can track it
15:00 IhrFussel Tracking only makes sense if you can associate the device with a profile which we can't
15:00 Krock "makes sense" doesn't matter in the privacy rules
15:01 Krock you can associate the device with nicknames, maybe on multiple servers if you centralize it
15:01 Krock nevertheless can all this data be faked
15:02 IhrFussel Lots of games give each device an ID and they don't face any lawsuits
15:03 IhrFussel And just because we are OSS we have to accept troublemakers ruining our servers
15:04 IhrFussel Some are THAT dedicated to trolling MT servers...you can ban their IP multiple times and they won't leave ... these people are wasting staff time and can (partly) destroy the gameplay
15:05 Krock how about if you make the join procedure take more time? More effort? Require an email verification?
15:05 Krock Let the staff ban them instead of wasting time
15:06 Krock Using autocomplete it takes a few seconds to ban someone
15:07 nerzhul warn about email verification, it's a personal data, GPDR is strict
15:07 Krock oh right
15:07 ANAND How would central login be implemented? Using email verification?
15:08 Krock Eye and teeth scan
15:08 Krock Or by SQL injection
15:09 ANAND .....
15:09 ANAND Forum accounts?
15:11 Menche19 joined #minetest-hub
15:14 nerzhul google or FB authenticatio n? :D
15:17 ANAND lol
15:17 zenguy- joined #minetest-hub
15:17 rubenwardy My design would use its own accounts
15:17 rubenwardy Probably move from cdb to a central system idk
15:17 rubenwardy It would be based on certificates and stapling
15:18 rubenwardy You could have xban on the central system as well
15:18 rubenwardy Ie: a server code say, don't let this account or any associated IPs join my server
15:18 rubenwardy Not entirely sure on the details of that yet
15:19 rubenwardy It would have to be more similar to a password manager anyway
15:19 rubenwardy :(
15:19 IhrFussel I'd argue that my server already punishes troublemakers...at least if they played actively before cause they lose their level, their unlocked features (based on level), their protections, their stuff, their friends (ingame friend list) and more ... the real problem is just with those who join once and never again
15:19 rubenwardy Like, usernames on a server are owned by a central user of not necessarily the same name
15:21 nerzhul rubenwardy when the postgresql backend will come it can be easy to modify the pg code to implement a such thing and have a central db
15:21 rubenwardy That sounds like a bad idea
15:21 rubenwardy Let's not do that
15:21 rubenwardy This is central as in minetest-wide and official
15:21 rubenwardy Not as in shared by a few users
15:21 nerzhul central auth for users ?
15:22 nerzhul in MT coredev servers ?
15:22 nerzhul on*
15:22 rubenwardy No, all serverd
15:22 nerzhul like minecraft then ?
15:22 rubenwardy No
15:22 rubenwardy Because this would work without the central database online
15:22 Krock I'd prefer to have multiple central databases, run by people who actually run the servers
15:22 nerzhul then if it's centralized per server network a central pg db is sufficient to have common auth. Now we have the new auth backend we can have common auth
15:23 nerzhul Krock i'd prefer too, i justwanted to be clear :)
15:23 rubenwardy Fragmentation
15:23 Krock ^
15:23 rubenwardy Also doesn't solve the issue
15:23 rubenwardy This is pointless if every server has their own
15:24 rubenwardy With my design, you could just have multiple CAs
15:24 rubenwardy Then it would be federatised
15:24 rubenwardy Or whatever the term is
15:25 Calinou I've seen other open source/freeware games add centralized auth systems, it didn't always turn out well
15:25 rubenwardy The important thing is the central server gives some sort of token, ideally a certificate, which is then used to login with untrusted servers
15:25 Calinou most games ended up not requiring authenticated accounts anyway
15:25 Calinou (i.e. they became optional)
15:25 rubenwardy This would be opt out
15:25 rubenwardy You can just fall back to SRP
15:28 CBugDCoder joined #minetest-hub
15:30 rubenwardy I have bigger priorities though
15:30 rubenwardy Like actually having some QA
15:30 rubenwardy And sane input bindings
15:40 Bobr joined #minetest-hub
15:44 nerzhul rubenwardy: a certificate is too high security for a game like MT
15:45 rubenwardy You could use tokens instead
15:45 rubenwardy But it's less reliable if the central server goes down
15:46 rubenwardy Plus the difficulty of issuing new tokens
15:46 rubenwardy Alternatively you could just not worry about it going doqn
15:46 rubenwardy Make it redundant
15:48 rubenwardy There's no such thing as too high security
15:48 rubenwardy There's only over engineering
15:50 Krock well, certificates are surely never wrong but mostly too much effrot
15:50 Krock *effort
15:51 BWBellairs29 joined #minetest-hub
15:52 rubenwardy Yeah
15:52 rubenwardy This is low priority anyway
15:52 rubenwardy Therefore probably not worth the effort
15:56 Calinou Xonotic uses a public/private key system for authentication
15:56 Calinou a lot of players end up losing their private key when moving over machines (they don't copy their private key files) :(
15:58 sfan5 Calinou: xonotic doesn't really tell you that it has just generated an important file that you should totally™ not lose
15:58 sfan5 neither does mumble IIRC
15:59 Calinou Mumble does, but it's not prominent enough to my taste
16:00 rubenwardy Doesn't matter if they lose there key
16:01 rubenwardy The central server will issue them a new one
16:01 Calinou yeah, but they will appear as separate players
16:01 rubenwardy No
16:02 Calinou http://stats.xonotic.org/search?fs=&amp;nick=calinou&amp;server_name=&amp;map_name=&amp;submit= once returned 5 entries, mind you :P
16:02 Calinou I got all of them merged eventually
16:02 Calinou and now I make sure to copy my key when installing a new PC
16:02 rubenwardy The certificate just says that the central server vouches that they're actually foobar
16:02 rubenwardy I'm talking about minetest
16:02 rubenwardy Or my proposal
16:02 rubenwardy The purpose of the certificate is to allow logging in when the central server isn't available
16:02 rubenwardy Which is one of the big criticism
16:03 rubenwardy Actually
16:03 rubenwardy A much simpler way would be to generate a load of one time passwords to login with. Less secure, but no certs
