I realised that I never posted a continuation to the Security Adventures of DTX and Nat, so... here it is!

WARNING: This entire story is just complete nerd shit so prepare for technohell Expect more chapters as time goes on, but this is basically the chronicles of why you never want to become host Chapter listing Obtaining the damn server The pain of an OS install when your ISO is 6 gigabytes and moves at 3 megabytes a second The story of how windows (and/or asrock) sucks Moving everything to a new platform The first performance test, AKA byond sucks on linux Getting the game running on windows How to migrate with minimal downtime Why emulation sucks and paravirtualisation is the future (EXTRA EXTRA: BYOND sucks) The woes of getting logs into a nice viewer without killing the CPU BONUS CHAPTER - Remotely managing a server where you dont have a KVM/IPMI console

Good writeup. More generally, good job with the setup. Hopefully readers walk away from this with a better understanding of what being host is like.

Well it's time to get real, yo it's time to get Synnester Spittin' rhymes so sweet hawkin' truth like a minister Trawlin' 'round town with an Unathi crew Spear point sharp and a fly IQ But that ain't all 'cause now school is in Seshi Gonna knock you on your ass like a B. Kard. Keshi But don't get it twisted cause these scales are true Ain't gonna do drive-by or jus' flash some blue 'Cause this lizard is real and his words ain't sweet Steppin' up to him gonna get your ass beat With a grab and a table and disposals too But let me spit it real 'bout another 'min foo He's a brit, keep it real, spittin' tea like steel He fly mad on the beat like a Tesco's deal Yo' his name is Affecy and the mic he hot wrecky Peddles dope PRs and eats code like brekky Now you might say wait cause this boy's a maint Ain't a 'min now yo! Shadey show restraint But I ain't got none 'cause this codecat's a wizard Leave you dazzled with his C and lost in the blizzard Of his complex code and his algorithms Turn acute obtuse cause the boy's got visions Of a bygone place and a bygone time Crushin' bugs underfoot like a mastermind peace

(Yes this is lots of mapping and code work I know, but it's simply a suggestion that could be PR'd or implemented at a later date) The Concept For the most part this suggestion is a rip from the game Hardspace Shipbreaker, in Hardspace you play as a massively indebted Shipbreaker, as the name implies your job is to dismantle star ships depositing various ship components and parts in the correct places all the while dealing with the various hazards that come with taking apart a ship rated for interstellar travel. The Details The new job would be based out of an extension of the brig which currently has a large amount of empty space to its north, it would function as a quasi prisoner role. The extension would be a salvage bay with machinery that can process the salvaged ship components into raw ores as well as a small prep room with a handful of budget EVA suits. Ships would be generated from various "modules" that are pieced together to create a proper ship, with a rare chance for one of a few pre-made alien ships. Ships would have various components ranging from experimental bluespace drives to simple steel plating and have various hazards ranging from, explosive coolant release to reactor meltdown. Certain modules could contain more interesting items that may or may not be illegal, to prevent another Lavaland situation there would be a contraband detector at the main entry port, traitors could buy a job specific pouch that can conceal any one item from the scanner while fitting in your pocket at a price cheaper than a storage implant, storage implants would serve the same purpose while maintaining their current state. The Reason We're sorely in need of more jobs, this would be something unique and interesting that would also create a safeish place to work with and understand more advanced systems like atmos that wouldn't directly impact the station. While yes this would be quite a large task code and mapping wise, I for one think this would be a worthwhile addition to the server that would be enjoyable for a broad spectrum of players as well as add in a quasi-prisoner role that has been suggested a number of times before.

This is a slightly different mini project I did to commemorate a shift I did with DTX, showing him the ropes to security. @AffectedArc07
