00:18:20 <NGC3982> i should be ashamed of myself, but i wont because i love this way to much
00:19:19 <andythenorth> that is the correct way to play IMHO
00:20:03 <andythenorth> I have reworked FIRS v4 Steeltown this week, there is now a port that has 3 accepted cargos and 5 produced cargos :P
00:20:11 <andythenorth> the station building will be insane

00:40:55 <NGC3982> lot's of in- and outputs is so awesome to work with
00:40:59 <andythenorth> it's really hard

02:09:58 <milek7> TrueBrain: it's on frontpage of HN
02:10:16 <milek7> that might explain higher website traffic ;p
02:10:27 <TrueBrain> no, that is normal at release
02:10:31 <TrueBrain> this .. could be more of a problem :P

02:14:17 <TrueBrain> the new slashdot effect
02:18:40 <TrueBrain> in peak it is 600 request per second on the main page
02:18:45 <TrueBrain> the CPU went up to 1%
02:25:27 <TrueBrain> " 69812978:34 python -u musad.py"
02:29:08 <TrueBrain> seems it was hogging the CPU since 15th of March
03:00:33 <luaduck> does anyone know if there have been any major networking changes in OpenTTD 1.10?
03:00:43 <luaduck> SOAP has completely stopped processing chat messages
03:13:53 <glx> nothing major I think, but definitely some changes
03:19:08 <luaduck> glx: I'm aware of that one, but that's just a change to the kick packet?
03:19:24 <luaduck> I don't see how that would break chat messaging
03:21:05 <glx> inserted between LEAVE and SERVER_MESSAGE, so all types are now +1
03:27:17 <luaduck> that should hopefully be a relatively straightforward patch
03:27:21 <glx> what your tool was reading as chat message was server messages ;)
03:30:53 <glx> I think nobody noticed the potential issue of inserting the new type instead of appending it

08:08:18 <ket> Hey guys, presumably setting autoclean_protected to 0 in the config file disables the function? (Asking for clarification because the wiki doesn't specify this as an option as it does for autoclean_novehicles and autoclean_unprotected and a question on the page discussion from 2010 is unanswered.)

10:36:51 <TrueBrain> when? 3 years ago? or recently?
10:38:46 <peter1138> Maybe a year ago. I've been using it wired on the PC cos I didn't have BT adapter.
10:39:06 <peter1138> And BT for the retropi

11:48:08 <planetmaker> gonna need to test that :|
11:49:52 <TrueBrain> it is a bit evil, to do this :P
11:50:06 <TrueBrain> at least it forces a round of tool-updates, a "who-is-still-alive" check ;)
11:50:22 <TrueBrain> (nah; it is just a big boo-boo to do it like this)

12:18:27 <andythenorth> I think we should keep the retro website
12:18:58 <TrueBrain> okay, more regressions added ... "dependencies" and "compatibility" is now also in scope. w00p .. what a shitty boring job to do, adding regressions ..
12:19:13 * andythenorth gives TrueBrain a cookie
12:20:10 <TrueBrain> 1 TODO in the code left, implement OpenTTD login
12:20:14 <TrueBrain> so that is a good thing, I guess

13:26:48 <Wolf01> Let's see what steam is offeri... NO bad wolf, you have 20 (TWENTY) games to redeem from HB Choices
13:32:40 <andythenorth> hmm we have to do something about daylength :P
13:35:43 <Wolf01> Decouple the date from the game speed
13:36:12 <Wolf01> So you can keep the date at his own pace while you fast forward
13:37:09 <Wolf01> Economy should be tick based and not date based
13:37:36 <Wolf01> Grf introduction dates will still be based on the date
13:38:32 <andythenorth> I considered 20 year-long tech eras
13:39:03 <andythenorth> OpenTTD could automatically figure which era a vehicle belongs to by default,, based on dates
13:39:09 <planetmaker> I think the main question which needs answering is where we can do without the accuracy as-now: do we care about yearly costs (or per tick)? Does monthly production matter (or per tick)?
13:39:11 <andythenorth> then player could adjust era length
13:39:27 <planetmaker> my idea is that costs are currently balanced as per-tick.
13:39:43 <planetmaker> (and production etc as we don't have vehicles move slower
13:39:51 <andythenorth> the era would prevent the spacing out of related vehicle introductions, the intro date would be same relative to era start
13:40:08 <andythenorth> but the era might be 20 years or 100 years
13:43:21 <andythenorth> meh, my idea fails
13:43:32 <andythenorth> we have to support from year 0 to max game year
13:43:59 <andythenorth> so if player changes era length to 40 not 20
13:44:28 <andythenorth> a train with intro date of 1950 would arrive in 3900, not 1970
13:45:12 <FLHerne> andythenorth: By far the most clamouring for "daylength" is the realism brigade
13:45:31 <Wolf01> You might want a concept of era like mashinky one
13:45:31 <FLHerne> Anything that makes the intro dates not the 'right' ones is a non-solution
13:45:39 <FLHerne> (I think I've said that before)
13:45:44 <TrueBrain> what always puzzled me .. what is daylength trying to solve? I see many answers to that question, which makes any solution reallllyyyy difficult :)
13:46:41 <andythenorth> TrueBrain I have asked this question so many times :)
13:46:43 <andythenorth> I should get the logs :P
13:46:47 <Wolf01> TB: mainly the "I want to play with steam trains longer without the game filling my vehicle list with new ones"
13:47:01 <planetmaker> my take on reasoning: time passes too fast at the normal building speed and you cannot use many vehicles as they are already obsolete when you can care about them
13:47:11 <planetmaker> Thus years pass by too quickly to use vehicles
13:47:40 <TrueBrain> well, at least 3 similar opinions; that is a first :D
13:47:40 <FLHerne> There was a side-effect that one version reduced cargo production, which was useful to a similar set of players
13:47:40 <Wolf01> Also playing an eternal 1940, 1970, or 2100 is an option
13:47:47 <planetmaker> so if we had 1950a ... 1950j we'd have a 10x daylength factor and ... probably most people be content
13:48:00 <FLHerne> (because realistic networks tend not to be capacity-optimal)
13:48:31 <FLHerne> But JGRPP has separate settings for that, so it's orthogonal now
13:48:57 <planetmaker> orthogonal years and production probably is sensible. More content people
13:49:06 <planetmaker> as you can have it the way you want
13:49:12 <planetmaker> then it's just a matter of defaults
13:49:28 <FLHerne> Also, the new linear town cargo really helps with that
13:49:51 <FLHerne> 1950a->j would look a bit silly, but I'd be ok with it
13:50:07 <Wolf01> I say, I'm happy with the way transport fever implemented it: the economy is always the same no matter the daylength is, if you want to speed up the economy just fast forward
13:50:14 <planetmaker> of course it looks silly. Was just an illustration. The GUI should make it look somewhat different :)
13:50:45 <planetmaker> Wolf01, what about vehicle speed, thus delivery of goods there?
13:50:52 <planetmaker> is it affected by daylength?
13:51:01 <Wolf01> You want to be able to build an entire network in 1880? Pause the date, build some routes, fast forward for some hours, build the network, unpause the date
13:51:32 <planetmaker> But... that does work with openttd nowadays, too
13:51:42 <planetmaker> but then you'd hardly unpause the game :P
13:51:49 <Wolf01> Except that you can't pause the date in OTTD
13:52:04 <planetmaker> vehicles move while paused there?
13:52:04 <Wolf01> And vehicle don't move while paused
13:52:10 <TrueBrain> really only pause the date, and let everything else going?
13:52:20 <planetmaker> it's an interesting solution tbh
13:52:28 <planetmaker> but... do you still earn money the normal way, Wolf01 ?
13:52:46 <andythenorth> my case is really simple
13:53:00 <andythenorth> I made a newgrf with 6 generations of trains 1860-2020
13:53:00 <Wolf01> Yes, you earn $1B in 1 hour no matter if the daylength is 1 or 40x
13:53:18 <andythenorth> the generations are ~30 years apart
13:53:33 <andythenorth> I only just finish upgrading 1 generation, then the next 1 appears
13:53:42 <planetmaker> So the monthly production statistics are affected by daylength. It could be infinity (if you pause) and it could be some minimum, if you have time progress
13:53:51 <andythenorth> I could just my case this in newgrf, but eddi said I should do it properly
13:54:06 <Wolf01> So you can play eternally with the first electric engine in ~1910 while upgrading your network a piece at time
13:54:16 <michi_cc> TF2 does daylength the most simple way: Instead of years X, X+1, X+2 etc, on 2x you have years X H1, X H2, X+1 H1 etc, 4x X Q1, X Q2, X Q3, X Q4, X+1 Q1 etc. And it is really nothing more than just a label, as even the "yearly" income sheet simply gets its columns renamed.
13:55:16 <andythenorth> I am considering remapping the eras in Iron Horse
13:55:22 <Wolf01> Also, you see more columns or less colums depending on daylength, but that's just a scale, since you can change it as you want
13:55:26 <andythenorth> parameter: mostly realistic, mostly gameplay
13:55:27 <michi_cc> Nothing else is adjusted in any way and no speed/production etc is scaled. Of course, this approach does not allow fine-grained, odd factors.
13:56:14 <Wolf01> Also if you pause the date you see the charts in minutes IIRC
13:57:00 <planetmaker> So just have the game progress normally. And have the date counter (and related monthly, yearly) interval change according to date. Don't care about monthly / yearly values, just treat them as "every X ticks (how many that is now with daylength 1)
13:58:30 <michi_cc> It would potentially break the text in some (industry) NewGRFs, if they mention months or years.
13:58:43 <michi_cc> But that is really only a cosmetic problem.
13:59:30 <planetmaker> it might also mention other newgrf texts in vehicles which mention yearly costs (like maintenance / running...)
13:59:37 <planetmaker> but that's the same cosmetic category
13:59:39 <Wolf01> We could provide a callback for conversion of ticks*length for grfs
13:59:50 <planetmaker> it should be done automatic
13:59:54 <michi_cc> Like e.g. something coded to last 25 production cycles, which is normally three months.
14:00:16 <michi_cc> So a text that says "every three months" would be wrong then.
14:00:21 *** WormnestAndroid has quit IRC
14:00:37 *** WormnestAndroid has joined #openttd
14:02:14 <michi_cc> A solution for new NewGRFs would be a global var with the current scaling factor and/or a string formatting code for "ticks in humane unit".
14:02:16 *** WormnestAndroid has joined #openttd
14:04:35 <Wolf01> andythenorth is happy, let's do it
14:05:08 <andythenorth> or I just fix it in newgrf :P
14:05:12 <andythenorth> it would take about 10 minutes :)
14:05:17 <andythenorth> this is why I love content APIs
14:05:48 <andythenorth> intro_date = _intro_date + offset :P
14:10:18 <andythenorth> hmm the fake month names idea was appealing
14:10:27 <andythenorth> so we could have 6 month years, or 28 month years
14:11:46 <FLHerne> michi_cc's idea was better :P
14:12:32 <andythenorth> last game I just set the date back every 5 years or so
14:16:40 <andythenorth> do we need realism dates?
14:16:46 <andythenorth> how about just 'year 1' etc?
14:22:24 <LordAro> would be a bit difficult to resolve introduction years
14:22:49 <LordAro> michi_cc: how would OTTD deal with day & months with the X H1, X Q1 form? just repeat them?
14:24:25 <Wolf01> Do we have leap years in current OTTD?
14:47:46 <DorpsGek_III> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD] glx22 commented on issue #8057: Recognize NT 5.2 Service Pack 2 as supported in the installer https://git.io/JvbYw
14:52:09 <andythenorth> hmm if we measured game periods in productions cycles
14:52:18 <andythenorth> that would aid a minor FIRS headache :P
14:53:06 <andythenorth> FIRS gives players feedback about '3 month' delivery windows
14:53:31 <andythenorth> but they won't always be 3 months, due to when callbacks run
14:53:47 <andythenorth> it's hardly noticeable, but eh
14:56:10 <Wolf01> Aahaha, nice reply LordAro
14:56:33 <LordAro> Wolf01: it's not like i disagree... but there's no obvious candidate
14:57:17 <LordAro> it could "click" on the settings toolbar icon :p
14:57:17 <Wolf01> Yeah, we don't even have a classic "save, load, options, go to title, exit to desktop" menu
14:57:28 <glx> or "main" menu (the one with exit)
14:57:44 <LordAro> maybe we should have one
14:57:50 <LordAro> but that's a rather larger issue
14:58:47 <glx> of course we don't have that :)
14:58:59 <LordAro> ok, can i close it as "too vague, and we don't like vague suggestions in our issue tracker"
14:59:05 <LordAro> "feel free to open a PR"
14:59:42 <LordAro> there's a few other issues that should probably be closed in that case
14:59:55 * LordAro sets andythenorth on them
15:00:13 <glx> we could just add the label
15:00:26 <FLHerne> So, I changed apparently nothing, but now I seem to be getting the mysterious macOS perf symptoms with 1.9.3 on Linux :-/

15:01:09 <LordAro> FLHerne: you should upgrade to 1.10.0 :p
15:01:20 <FLHerne> And roughly halves if anything animated it
15:01:52 <FLHerne> LordAro: Reddit S1 hasn't yet, and I use jgrpp for single-player
15:02:07 <FLHerne> Oh, since current jgrpp is
15:02:20 <FLHerne> ~1.10 in that respect, I should see if that's affected
15:02:45 <glx> yeah the news FPS drop issue should be fixed in 1.10

15:03:45 <FLHerne> The odd thing is that I've had 1.9.3 since it was released
15:03:52 <Wolf01> Hmm, I just noticed 2x gui sprites need the new icons in the right size
15:03:53 <LordAro> FLHerne: curious that it would just start happening though
15:04:04 <LordAro> any recent system/graphics driver updates?
15:04:09 <FLHerne> And I've not noticed it becoming unplayable with every news popup before :P
15:04:28 <FLHerne> Well, not since 2 days ago when I last played
15:04:57 <michi_cc> LordAro: For OTTD, you would probably create a second DAY_TICKS factor for use with all explicitly date based things, while most things like CBs stay tick-based.
15:05:20 <LordAro> the tricky bit is "most"

15:12:56 <Wolf01> I need a cable lifter road type, it would really suit the current map
15:16:09 <FLHerne> andythenorth: I just discovered that jgrpp has an 'equal distribution' mode for cargodist, and per-cargo mode settings
15:16:22 <FLHerne> This makes the supply mechanics actually work :D

16:25:21 <andythenorth> FLHerne does it fix the issue that only 2 cdist destinations can be served from 1 pickup station?
16:26:14 <FLHerne> andythenorth: Is that a thing? Can't say I've noticed it
16:27:10 <andythenorth> cdist doesn't discover the new link, then vehicles don't get a load, so cdist still doesn't discover the link
16:27:17 <andythenorth> then the station blocks
16:27:33 <andythenorth> then station rating falls, so the vehicle doesn't get a load; repeat

17:40:20 *** cyberjunkie has joined #openttd
18:05:55 <TrueBrain> Good reply andythenorth
18:06:50 <TrueBrain> Easy to assume we can do everything ... difficult to put into action :)
18:07:17 <nielsm> I don't think a random person can create a legal entity for openttd and get a code signing certificate
18:07:25 <nielsm> it would be a problem if they could, really
18:08:03 *** snail_UES_ has joined #openttd
18:08:40 <TrueBrain> No, but we mostly need help how to get it done
18:09:26 <TrueBrain> Without making a single person liable, ofc
18:09:50 <nielsm> well apple has two ways to register developer accounts, as an individual or as an organisation, question is if any one person wants to have their name plastered on all macos releases as the sole person responsible?
18:10:28 <TrueBrain> I think I just answered that :p :D
18:11:23 *** rotterdxm has joined #openttd
18:12:59 <TrueBrain> I understand why all the major vendors (including Steam, Apple, etc) want legal entities .. but for Open Source projects it is difficult ...
18:13:19 <milek7> you can have individual account for Steam too
18:16:20 <TrueBrain> And we are back to: without making a single person liable :)
18:18:21 <milek7> eh, personally I wouldn't care ;p
18:18:47 <TrueBrain> depending on the country you live in, you kinda should ;)
18:19:16 <TrueBrain> but I guess more the point is: having a bus-factor of 1 is .. not so nice
18:19:41 <nielsm> let's upgrade that to a rona-factor of 1
18:19:52 <TrueBrain> owh no he didn't :D
18:20:53 <TrueBrain> you slowly see these umbrella corps being created that allow you to use their corp for these things, for Open Source world
18:20:56 <TrueBrain> but it is a slow process
18:21:00 <TrueBrain> with a lot of legal blablablabla
18:22:25 <TrueBrain> I noticed that the EV cert needed for MS signing has similar issue btw .. it needs a legal entity (which makes sense .. that is what EV certs should proof)
18:22:44 <milek7> EV is stupidly expensive
18:22:52 <TrueBrain> you can get it for under 100 dollars
18:22:55 <TrueBrain> so it is kinda okay
18:23:07 <TrueBrain> the EV needed for MS certs
18:23:23 <TrueBrain> it was in the link in the issue tracker
18:23:35 <nielsm> I'd gladly chip in for a proper signing cert
18:23:44 <TrueBrain> money really isn't the issue
18:23:45 <milek7> i think EV is for kernel mode drivers
18:24:11 <nielsm> yeah I think most of us are at the age where money isn't a major issue
18:24:14 <TrueBrain> hell, we once flew a dev over from Canada to enjoy the r10000 celebration in Germany :P
18:24:26 <milek7> and instant smartscreen reputation, but standard cert also changes message to less scary and warning goes away with some time
18:24:57 <TrueBrain> the problem really comes down to: if you use a single person to get these certs, you need to answer two questions: 1) what if that person disapears, 2) what if that person is being sued
18:25:57 <TrueBrain> I tihnk there are 4 devs from 2007 still active in OpenTTD, so you could say they are never going to leave now .. but that is still a real thing to consider
18:26:02 <TrueBrain> and 2) is just .. a pain ..
18:26:17 <milek7> 1) cert usually have 1-year validity, so you just get another one
18:26:44 <TrueBrain> the other thing we explored many times: what if we get some kind of LLC in some country
18:26:53 <TrueBrain> but .. nobody understands enough legal bla to figure that out, really
18:27:01 <TrueBrain> so it always ends with: we should look into this
18:29:52 <milek7> this one was ~30$, but expired now
18:36:22 <TrueBrain> I still think having OpenTTD in Steam would be fun :D I tried emailing Steam about how to get it on their store as Open Source project, but they never replied to any mail, except the: this is the wrong place to ask this, you should ask <other location here>
18:36:25 <TrueBrain> which was just annoying
18:36:35 <TrueBrain> I understand they don't care .. it still is annoying :P
18:39:35 <milek7> I had to fill all their tax paperwork, bank account number, etc even if my product is free ;D
18:40:48 <milek7> (not mine actually, open source simulator)
18:41:00 <Artea> ./home/artea/openttd-1.10.0/src/gfx_layout.cpp: In member function ‘virtual std::unique_ptr<const ParagraphLayouter::Line> FallbackParagraphLayout::NextLine(int ’:
18:41:00 <Artea> ./home/artea/openttd-1.10.0/src/gfx_layout.cpp:513:10: error: cannot bind ‘std::unique_ptr<FallbackParagraphLayout::FallbackLine>’ lvalue to ‘std::unique_ptr<FallbackParagraphLayout::FallbackLine>&&’
18:41:26 <nielsm> which compiler version?
18:42:10 <Artea> I didnt checked much of CentOS 7
18:42:34 <nielsm> check the log from the configure script which compiler it detects and uses, then run it with the --version flag
18:43:22 <nielsm> but it looks like it has to do with text layout, if you intend to run a server (since you mention a VPS) you should just disable all graphics stuff like the SDL1/SDL2 drivers and ICU support
18:43:59 <nielsm> unless that happens when you build without ICU or without a graphical video driver or something in which case it would be a bug
18:44:24 <Artea> I dont think I had to do much in 1.9.x
18:47:22 <nielsm> /usr/include/c++/4.8.2/bits/unique_ptr.h
18:47:25 <nielsm> that 4.8.2... is that GCC version?
18:47:33 <nielsm> try running this command:
18:48:05 <Artea> g++ (GCC) 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-39)
18:48:14 <nielsm> yeah that's probably too old
18:48:34 <nielsm> you should be using GCC 8.x or 9.x
18:48:34 <Artea> I went update that for some unknown reason
18:48:49 <Artea> dont know why is installed this version
18:50:19 <nielsm> if you don't know how to upgrade it my best suggestions is to backup all important data and wipe and reinstall your VPS to a newer OS version
18:51:51 <Artea> is the recent VPS by OVH
18:53:23 <TrueBrain> OVH only has CentOS 7.2 still, I believe
18:53:28 <TrueBrain> which comes with GCC 4.8.5
18:53:39 <TrueBrain> (CentOS freezes its gcc version within major versions)
18:54:51 <TrueBrain> I believe OVH only has modern Debian in their templates
19:02:22 <andythenorth> I also suspect someone could just register the entity
19:02:32 <andythenorth> and then get a signing cert
19:02:48 <andythenorth> are certs locked to domain names in any way?
19:05:11 <nielsm> at least in Denmark the only type of entity that seems to make sense is an association (forening) and those require at least two members, two members of board, and formal bylaws
19:05:19 <nielsm> so not possible to register as a single person
19:05:35 <TrueBrain> most countries also have a type for non-profit stuff
19:05:41 <TrueBrain> "stichting" in Dutch
19:05:53 <TrueBrain> main drawback in Dutch .. the name of the company needs to have the word "Stichting" in it
19:06:06 <Artea> I will work out this another time
19:07:24 <TrueBrain> I do wonder how free you are to pick the name on a Code Signing Cert, tbh
19:07:42 <TrueBrain> can it differ from the name of the legal entity, and who sets the name :D
19:07:57 <andythenorth> I could register a UK limited company with an agent, and start signing malware
19:08:05 <andythenorth> eventually I'd be traced
19:08:16 <TrueBrain> you call OpenTTD malware now? :p
19:08:24 <nielsm> an actual foundation in danish law requires a capital of one million DKK, as far as I can tell, a regular business with limited liability requires a capital of 40,000 DKK, and a limited liability association is just required to be conducting actual business
19:08:28 <andythenorth> do we not have a coin-miner in it?
19:08:45 <nielsm> (I don't think openttd can be considered to be conducting business, nobody here is selling any products or services)
19:08:54 <TrueBrain> nielsm: I always find it funny, how countries do this differently :D
19:09:09 <andythenorth> as it pegs my CPU to 90% I assumed OpenTTD was coin-mining :P
19:09:32 <andythenorth> 90% of 1 thread unit *
19:09:33 <TrueBrain> if you have a company for "ideals", you can create a "stichting" here .. can be run by a single person, you don't need any starting capital ..
19:09:44 <andythenorth> eh that leaves 15 thread units for coin mining
19:10:22 <nielsm> TrueBrain but can a single person form a limited liability stichting?
19:10:49 <nielsm> in fact can an "ideal stichting" even have limited liability?
19:10:55 <TrueBrain> from what I understand, but IANAL, there are two forms: one where you are, as person, still responsible, and one form where you are not
19:11:12 <andythenorth> it's not something to do lightly anywhere, if we have one person then bus factor
19:11:41 <TrueBrain> no, forget what I just said, that is for "verenigingen", similar to the first one you mention (at least 2 people, members, meetings, bla)
19:12:10 <TrueBrain> within a stichting, you are only liable if you, as director, delibratly made mistakes (that is true for any corperation in the netherlands)
19:12:26 <andythenorth> similar to UK company law
19:13:09 <Eddi|zuHause> if we're going to organize in any way, it should probably be some pan-european thing instead of a single country
19:13:23 <TrueBrain> yes, lets complicate this even more :D
19:13:31 <Eddi|zuHause> and there should be multiple people in charge
19:13:40 <TrueBrain> nielsm: every time I try to read up on this in Dutch law, I just realise I am not a lawyer, and fail to understand the implications :)
19:15:31 <andythenorth> it looked more helpful to try and get Apache Foundation or similar to adopt us
19:16:01 <andythenorth> we don't have enough people to do an nml release, running a legal org is blah blah trouble :)
19:18:25 <TrueBrain> funny, a "stichting" is now allowed to use the profit for anything else except to pay other stichting-like-goals :)
19:20:11 <TrueBrain> 300 euro to start one,including all legal documents
19:20:32 <milek7> >can it differ from the name of the legal entity
19:20:34 <milek7> I guess not, that's the point of cert
19:21:05 <TrueBrain> that is the part that always hold me back to fix this in the Netherlands .. as that would mean if you start openttd.txt, you see "Stichting OpenTTD"
19:21:08 <TrueBrain> which would look REAL silly
19:21:17 <TrueBrain> openttd.txt? openttd.exe
19:21:48 <nielsm> how about OpenTTD F.M.B.A.
19:22:00 <milek7> mine had 'Miłosz Rachwał, Open Source Developer'
19:22:03 <milek7> but people really don't care as long it makes security warnings less scary ;P
19:22:17 <TrueBrain> nielsm: prtty sure that would too result in questions on the forum :)
19:22:33 <TrueBrain> in the end, I don't think it really matters; we just need a clear story about it
19:23:21 <nielsm> "strange combination of letters required for a limited liability entity in <random EU state>"
19:24:23 <TrueBrain> yeah, well, that is the good thing I guess. A "stichting" is a full legal entity. I guess the same is for your form of corp, ofc. The only thing you really need overhere, is a set of rules of people get in the board and are pushed out of the board
19:24:27 <TrueBrain> that is the only thing you have to put in writing
19:24:42 <TrueBrain> other than that, it is not really tight to a real person, from what I understand
19:24:56 <Eddi|zuHause> <TrueBrain> funny, a "stichting" is now allowed to use the profit for anything else except to pay other stichting-like-goals :) <-- you likely have to draw up some kind of "constitution" that lists all things that it may spend money on
19:25:12 <TrueBrain> Eddi|zuHause: not from what I can find
19:25:22 <TrueBrain> seems it is more on a .. "you shouldn't do this"
19:25:49 <nielsm> Eddi|zuHause: I don't think there is a way to have a non-business-conducting entity in the EU/EEA that does not belong to a particular nation state
19:26:13 <TrueBrain> I somehow hope that doesn't exist tbh :) But .. IANAL .. so who knows :D
19:27:57 <TrueBrain> fun thing about a "stichting", the nationality of people in the board is irrelevant, it seems
19:30:00 <LordAro> Mr Open Ttd, CEO of OpenTTD Inc
19:30:10 <TrueBrain> seeing mailman going in the street these days is funny
19:30:14 <TrueBrain> he puts down the package at the door
19:30:20 <TrueBrain> walks away 2 meters
19:30:23 <TrueBrain> waits for the door to open
19:30:46 <TrueBrain> social distancing in its finest
19:30:59 *** Progman has joined #openttd
19:31:23 <TrueBrain> LordAro: fun thing is, OpenTTD Inc would be a fine name for anyone. But the Europe-translations of that .. somehow that feels off :P
19:31:41 <TrueBrain> I wonder what documents an EV Cert requires for these kind of corps
19:31:46 <TrueBrain> as you don't have an ID of sorts
19:32:37 <nielsm> well there's also the question, would we be willing to pay a lawyer to advise on this?
19:33:01 <milek7> you keep talking about EV, but I think you mean something else? EV is _really_ stupidly expensive
19:33:02 <TrueBrain> 500 euro for an EV Code Signing Cert .. holy crap
19:33:17 <TrueBrain> milek7: no, I mean EV. Like really. EV.
19:33:30 <TrueBrain> nielsm: good question .. we need someone with a bit more legal knowledge :D
19:33:49 <TrueBrain> what I can do, is call a company her ein the Netherlands on monday that might have some experience with Open Source corps, and see what is "normal" there
19:33:54 <TrueBrain> but .. these questions are a bit rare
19:33:55 <milek7> OV certs are around 100$
19:34:35 <milek7> and I don't think you need EV to do kernel drivers
19:34:43 <Eddi|zuHause> can we get advice from FSF without signing all our licenses over to them (which we can't really do anyway?)
19:34:50 <TrueBrain> it never stops to amase me how rich CAs got from this cert-stuff :)
19:37:07 <nielsm> one starting point would be outlining requirements and nice-to-haves for the form of organisation we want...
19:37:20 *** gelignite has joined #openttd
19:37:24 <milek7> you officialy also need smartcard to store private key
19:38:17 <milek7> (though it's possible to get around that with VMs and emulated tpm)
19:39:29 <nielsm> requirements: ownership of code? ownership of domain names and server accounts? capital? receive donations (and taxation or not)? membership/board membership? liability in case of legal action?
19:39:59 <planetmaker> hm, is an OpenTTD org again on the table?
19:40:13 <nielsm> yes, because users are asking about code signing
19:40:16 <nielsm> for both windows and mac
19:40:28 <TrueBrain> nielsm: all good questions :) Just remember we don't need them answered to get the code signing done, but I agree with your questions :)
19:45:51 <DorpsGek_III> - Update: Translations from eints (by translators)
19:49:38 <milek7> TrueBrain: >"with what-ever legal entity requested"
19:49:49 <milek7> their open source offer is limited to individual persons
19:50:01 <nielsm> TrueBrain: I have a smartcard reader (NFC type only) :)

19:55:29 <TrueBrain> milek7: funny, as the english version of their pages are constantly explicitly naming users and organization
19:55:45 <TrueBrain> anyway, please don't mention these things here, but mention them in the issue-tracker
19:55:55 <TrueBrain> it is what they are for :) Collect information in a central place :)
19:56:21 <TrueBrain> just please mention sources, makes it easier to validate claims :)
19:56:45 <TrueBrain> funny, Certum doesn't mention Apple in their code signing certs
19:56:54 <TrueBrain> this world is just messed up, tbfh
19:59:55 <milek7> I wonder if I'm allowed to sign code for other projects than specified in application
20:01:36 <andythenorth> seriously, I think we could solve 1/3 of daylength requests just by making it 'not a cheat' to set year back
20:02:40 <andythenorth> I have gone back 1945->1938 3 times in this game
20:04:11 <Wolf01> To enjoy more of WWII?
20:04:52 <TrueBrain> I still like the "freeze the date" :)
20:05:00 <TrueBrain> it is simple, elegant, anyone can understand it
20:06:43 <milek7> X-axis on graph, money window history though? change to "2 years ago, 3 years ago, etc."?
20:07:26 <TrueBrain> how is that a question if time stands still?
20:08:34 <Wolf01> Ha! I found a german transport fever player with a OTTD avatar
20:09:10 <TrueBrain> okay, Content API can reload its database from disk .. with a webhook .. what else was there to do ..
20:09:42 <TrueBrain> GitHub module, so it pushes and pulls from GitHub ..
20:09:52 <TrueBrain> S3 support, so it stores the files there
20:09:59 <TrueBrain> I think .... that is it ...
20:10:03 <TrueBrain> this list is getting really small :D
20:11:45 <andythenorth> 'freeze' | 'unfreeze'
20:12:43 <TrueBrain> it is not a perfect solution, freezing time, but it makes answering all these questions about daylength really easy tbh
20:13:13 <andythenorth> if it was on/off option, would work for me
20:13:32 <andythenorth> groundhog day mode
20:13:53 <TrueBrain> there are some parts of the code that needs attention of course .. as some maintaince code is hooked into the fact the date progresses
20:13:59 <TrueBrain> maintenenenenencace code
20:14:37 <TrueBrain> well, not all questions are fully trivial
20:14:44 <TrueBrain> farmland, should it advance in animation? :D
20:17:07 <Wolf01> The trailing cars are part of the vehicle
20:31:21 <Eddi|zuHause> @artea how many days does that take nowadays?
20:45:02 <ja> i had a crash with directorai
20:45:27 <ja> is it a known bug? did i do something wrong? i am a newbie, just started the scandinavian scenario with 1.10
20:45:40 <ja> *FUNCTION [BridgeUpgrader()] dictatorai-169/handler/checks.nut line [436]
20:56:12 <LordAro> ja: you'll need to report it to the creator of directorai, not us
20:56:16 <Eddi|zuHause> ja: try to look for the thread of DictatorAI in the forums
20:56:48 <LordAro> AIs are created by other users, sometimes they are broken
20:56:56 <LordAro> definitely not something you did :)

21:49:38 <TrueBrain> I am not sure that claim is true. You need a dev-account to publish the game, but it seems you can sign it with a Code Signing Cert ..
21:50:00 <TrueBrain> at least, that is what some sources tell, including the manual how to sign a file on Mac
21:50:08 <TrueBrain> never tested it, so hard to proof one way or the other :)
21:50:48 <milek7> it probably needs dev-account for that 'notarization'
21:50:52 <nielsm> the thing is that apple wants you to not only sign your macos apps but also ahve them notarized
21:51:12 <nielsm> apple wants to verify your software manually unlike microsoft
