I'm putting together a shopping cart for the weekend in Fresh Direct. Right now I just have several meals worth of Dunkaroos. Do I need to add anything else?

Do they sell meth? Gotta stay awake somehow.

The most important thing about trivia is participation and having fun! It's not about whether or not you're right or wrong, but just ~friendship~ :ninja:

Wrong opinion right here.

Tshirt designs will be up at some point tomorrow. I just woke up from like my third nap of the day and eating dinner was exhausting enough. :shrug:

Not that there's a rush on this, but I do wanna get tshirts designed and ordered before the hype fades too much!

Are these "We Beat Network" celebratory t-shirts? If so, please count WifeRabit and myself in.

Also: I'd just like to point out that we missed out on 5th by an amount less than the points given for ELIZABETH TAYLOR'S loving INCORRECTLY NAMED COCKER SPANIEL.

If someone reminds me closer to the time next year, I'll spin up an AWS instance and configure us a private silc (encrypted IRC) server.
This has the added advantage of those who know what they're doing being able to use it as a shell with screen / tmux so you don't drop off from the channel when you shut your computer down and your session is available from anywhere.

If we want to get really fancy we could also set up a voip server of some description, allowing people outside the US to be able to join the phone team...

I'd say we could also host the wiki there and lock it down to connections from localhost only, but the thought of tech supporting a pile of people through dynamic ssh port forwarding is already giving me an eye tic.

Any barrier to entry will cut the potential pool of goons. Gotta be minimally invasive. I used to be a technerdbro and I could probably still do a linux thing but its been loving ages and I doubt everyone is going to be able or willing to ssh into a secured PGP VPN hypersecure goonclave.

Is exactly what I thought. Getting people on to our own silc instance will be no different to what people have already been doing, though, so is probably worthwhile.

We have AWS/Google Cloud engineers on staff and free credits for both by extension, and proxy call@sip.yiff.tech to the answer number transparently (same asterisk instance also handles our inbound number).

I do not ever want to have to walk rawillkill's dad through ssh.

Well, don't I just feel entirely redundant?
Put the ircd instance on a seperate host to asterisk, though. Asterisk is flaky enough without having to deal with constant data (even just text) coming in to the same box.

How'd you guys do? I was unfortunately tied up for the weekend, but I still well care about how goons did in meaningless trivia comps....

We got 4th.

There weren't many goons playing. Those that were had to carry way too much weight and were pretty exhausted.

We probably need a trivia mailing list or something. This thread doesn't get enough posts to stay on top for the smaller contests.

Also some of the tools that goons have built weren't working which added to the stress. Hopefully they get fixed for next time.

4th? Good job, dedicated triv-goons. :D
