so basically you were the DDOS guy

Very helpful. Thanks.

try changing your dns to google's free dns servers for a few days

primary 8.8.8.8
secondary 8.8.4.4

If you are referring to

Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections\Connection\Properties\Networking\IPv4\Properties

then changing manually the Preferred and Alternate DNS servers, it doesn't work. Restarted the PC too and dialed up again.

have you tried opening a command prompt (win+r, type cmd) and entering:

ipconfig /flushdns

Yeah, I mentioned it in the OP.

Can't ping xmpp.quakelive.com either. Request timed out.

if that's still resolving to 50.23.229.123 for you then it's wrong. using google's dns should have been ok, at least that worked for some last night.

use
nslookup google.com
(or any domain at all)

and the first thing it will spit out is how it's resolving the address so you'll know if it's using the settings you made yet.

It's 50.23.229.129.

It uses 8.8.8.8 as a DNS server.

Yeah, that's what it should be now.
Sorry if it's still not working for you, (and for delayed reply, had to drive 2 hours)

np

It worked for one game, then the whole shit went offline again..

And again XMPP connection failure.

Your nick comes from "gorilla"?

no it is japanese for godzilla

I thought it's romaji. I actually speak (and read / write) some japanese. :>

It was a cynical question. )

my bad skim read

:D

any ip adress of a tdm server or ffa plz?

I have the same problem

edit:
nvm
quakelive is down again.

Cool... I tried to connect in the morning and the problems still remains unsolved it's like 18:00 PM now..

The service is not 100% working yet.

I have the exact smae problem.
Can't login.

The site is up, but can't login to the game.

Site is down for me.

Is there any conspiracy theory already going?

I think this is an inside job.

Except I'm not raging.

the UN should implement a world wide 1 strike law on this kind of shit.
Death penalty.

Or genital mutilation at least.

death penalty, or a super hefty dose of LSD-25. I mean 1mg or more (most hits are 50-75Ug (micrograms)

But seriously. If just one of these little shits was literally publicly executed... You would probably see a decrease in this behavior.

Or a televised viewing of the 1st two hours of the lsd come-up.
I personally believe this to be far worse than the death penalty.
Locked in mental torment for the rest of your life.

One hour a week, televised of the victim screaming at the top of their lungs 24/7 never able to sleep. Haunted by the most horrific visions. Endless loops of torture.

Public mutilation is the humanist way.

Bullet is, however, the most cost-effective.

Only if you don't think in a broader way. If the bullet is less effective at diminishing the attacks, there will be more money lost to attacks.

How is it more cost-effective than an already used, rusty pickaxe?

no, hatchet is cheaper on the long run

Shit like hatchets are more laboursome to use. Bullets may cost 25c a round, but they only require a twitch of a finger. You're right though, if you can get some madman to do it pro bono. Maybe make the inmates fight each other and televise the thing as a sport.

Shrug. Better to use paranoia inducing drugs like datura.

Harmaline and a big dose of 5-methoxy oral I think would be extremely torturous.

Other than that, just good old fashioned sleep deprivation, beating/cutting. Unpredictability. Poor cell conditions in terms of food/water/bathroom/space. Extremes of hot/cold/noise.

I was thinking acid.. enough of and you'll never come down.
Datura can kill people though. But is maddening .
I don't know what harmaline is. (looking it up now)
maoi inhibitor?

salvia is supposed to be quite uncomfortable.
It's actually pound for pound almost as powerful as lsd.
only need microgram doses of it .

Maybe a milk jug full of ayuasca?

I was thinking acid.. enough of and you'll never come down.

Nah, always come down at some point, even though it will leave a person 'fuzzy' for a while.

There is something called a 'thumbprint' where a person wets their thumb and places it into container of pure LSD, thereby ingesting milligrams worth.

There was a thread somewhere with a boatload of trip reports, but I can't find it anymore. I remember there being colored text, so might have been this guy's thread: https://mycotopia.net/topic/60686-the-thumbprint-lsd/

Just because you come down though, doesn't mean you'll ever be the same.

I don't think it would necessarily be a good torture device, because LSD can be euphoric by nature, it's unpredictable what will be experienced as unpleasant while under the influence, and very high doses seem to have an almost dissociative effect.

Datura can kill people though.

Yes, definitely, and the alkaloids are active in the micrograms. Great care would have to be given to managing the dosage.

I don't know what harmaline is. (looking it up now)
maoi inhibitor?

Yes it's a natural Monoamine oxidase inhibitor often used in Ayahuasca. It causes a lot of nausea, time dilation, and general weirdness. The point is that it makes DMT and DMT analogues orally active.

Maybe a milk jug full of ayuasca?

Ayahuasca isn't necessarily torturous, even though aspects of it are sure to be unpleasant. DMT will likely create some euphoria, and the visuals will be off the charts. As far as I know, even the bad trips end up being cathartic spiritual endeavors.

5-methoxy on the other hand, past a certain dosage tends to be incredibly painful, and I cannot even imagine a high dose taken orally as this would prolong the experience tremendously compared to smoking the freebase which is the way it's typically administered.

Salvia is supposed to be quite uncomfortable.

Not necessarily. It's rather unpredictable. Some people love the Salvia experience.

It's actually pound for pound almost as powerful as lsd.
only need microgram doses of it .

I recommend the term 'potent' as opposed to the more ambiguous 'powerful'.

The thumbprint guy is named China Cat. I've read it.

The thumb print is supposedly the reason the feds have never busted the "family" acid group.
At least not anyone dealing directly with the crystal. The thumbprint i guess is like the final initiation into the acid network of chemists and the people who lay the acid on sheets, gel tabs or make liquid.

Not many are crazy enough to take that much. It's extremely dangerous. One hit of blotter acid on average is around 75 micrograms. A thumbprint is multi- milligram. I'd stick my thumb in sugar and weigh it,lol but I don't have a good scale.

If China cats story is true, he had tons of prior experience with acid. Your average person hasn't tripped over a 1,000 times. Your average person can barely handle 4 blotter hits. A thumbprint would destroy anyone who hasn't already eaten a sheet. Even that I don't think could prepare you.

The hole thumprint experience is not done on a whim. It's carefully prepared. The guy said you trip for about 2 weeks. I don't think you could find to many people that could handle an all encompassing extremely intense mind shattering experience for that long, and come back even a fraction of themselves.
That's just my take on it. Lol.

Salvia is a Dissociative like pcp, dxm or ketamine.
Lsd, psilocin ,psilocybin, and dmt are triptamines. I prefer to call these psychedelics rather than hallucinogens.
Mescaline is more like an amphetamine. I don't know the correct term. Similar effect to the triptamines though

Deliriants like datura (jimson weed) or the fly argaric mushroom I would actually call hallucinogens because they cause the actual effects that people who haven't taken acid or shrooms expect.

Funny questions people have asked me before taking either.(acid/shrooms)
"Will i see the devil?"
"Will i see a dead relative?"
"Will i see naked chicks?"

No you have to eat jimson weed for that. lol. Then you wake up 3 days later in a pool of blood. You thought you went to sleep but really you were a raving mad man, smashing everything in sight.
There's different species of "datura" Brugmansia is sold at a lot of nurseries.
There' another species in South America that bellans use in Columbia I believe to rob people blind.
I saw a documentary type thing on it. They make a powder out of a certain part of the tree. Blow it into peoples faces and it has the weirdest effect on them. From what was said the person gets kinda fucked up for a minute, then they go back to seemingly normal. I guess they become highly suggestible. You basically tell them " take all the money out of your bank account and bring it back to me"
And they do it, with a smile on their face.

I don't know shit about the other drugs :P


I like the term powerful when talking about this stuff.

A thumbprint would destroy anyone who hasn't already eaten a sheet.

Anyone really, unless they've thumb-printed before.

The guy said you trip for about 2 weeks.

I doubt it works like this. It's probably more like 24-48 hours, but there would be after effects lasting months and years, and some.. a lifetime.

Salvia is a Dissociative like pcp, dxm or ketamine.

It may be a dissociative but it has a completely different mechanism of action, and imo, a very different experience from the typical dissociatives.

Lsd, psilocin ,psilocybin, and dmt are triptamines.

Tryptamines.

Mescaline is more like an amphetamine. I don't know the correct term.

Phenethylamine.

[Scopolamine]I saw a documentary type thing on it.

It was probably the Vice one. It was pretty good.

I like the term powerful when talking about this stuff.

Can be misleading though as people equate 'power' with 'power of experience' which may not be the case as potency alone is not an indicator.

I like how topics just go places :P
Yea it was the Vice one.

I personally don't care about spelling. Every word we use regardless of language is made up anyways.
Black people make up word all the time. Then they wind up in the dictionary. Lol.

Trill

I am having the same problem.

i can login, but theres no servers at all for any gametype anywhere lol.

Same. Botmatch is available though.

Playing q3 with my clan.
its so much smoother.
70 ping feels like 20 ping in ql... even better actually.

You mean 200.

baseq3 maybe lol. i played baseq3 back in the day with 70-100 ping. lg was unusable but rail was ok.

in cpma over 100 ping feels better than ql with 30 ping.
on a server hosted on an old spare pc in IL.
I ping 70-100 there.

I just finished playing ql. regardless of this ddos shit, it still feels the same.. horrible!
What i mean by that, is i'd assume everything isn't taken care of and there's prolly some ql network lag still or however you want to put it. Even a month ago when all was fine it still felt the same... complete laggy soup jumping.

I was playing q3 from 8pm ish -10:30 ish tonight.
Cpma felt amazing.
Instaunlagged felt great too. I don't mean the unlagged part but how smooth the game is.
Even the guy with 140 ping was barely jerking and my clan mate said "he has a bad connection" lol
He was perfectly fine compared to 90% of the people in ql.

It seriously is ridiculous just how much of a difference there is.
If people actually went back and played and tried cpma with vq3...
I think everyone would complain to the devs to fix the shit in ql.
It's a drastic difference in clarity and quality.

OSP too. It was nearly unplayable on 60.

CPM is good, the only problem is that I have constant fps-drops to 30 <---. rofl. It's lagging like hell and jerky as fuck. On Ivy Bridge + 4 GB RAM. It's basically unplayable.

What client are you using?

use dfengine with +set fs_game "cpma" in the target section in a shortcut

advanced warfare servers are working good

>;)

Then go and play on them.

Anyone else experiencing intermittent lag???

Not personally, however, at least a couple of players per server were complaining about and experiencing very short lag spikes. Also, by speccing other players with lagometer on, they noticed the lag spikes were occuring under the same circumstances as well as the same 'pattern' of lag spikes.

Lag spikes ofc occur from time to time, but the number of players all with very closely matched issues at the same time on the same server most certainly points to something more than bad luck or a bad isp. And this only occured after ql was back up from the DDOS.

Sucks :(

I disabled my windows firewall completely and was able to avoid that error message.

still not working here disabled firewall set my dns, fml

Well why don't you ask questions on quakelive.com though? Think you will have a bigger chance to reach out to the dev in there.

Why would you think devs know anything about ql?

I don't even know how to answer to this.. :D

Cuz dey maded the Quakded.
