![]() Therefore, performance tuning and system redesign was conducted. The first performance results of the load test with a simple stock ejabberd service was not sufficient for the production requirements, with capacity at 300k connections and 150 connections per second. Business requirements include 1 million concurrent connections, and the recovery for bursting logins in max 30 minutes. The job of the inner ejabberd is to retrieve messages from Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS), while the outer ejabberd handles the distribution to the Switch game consoles. All the nodes are connected by the distributed Erlang communication. To ease maintenance, Nintendo ejabberd cluster is split into two areas: the inner ejabberd (cpu-bound) and outer ejabberd (memory-bound). It is built in Erlang and inherits many of Erlang strengths: scalability, robustness, native clustering support, and more. ejabberd was chosen because of its scalability and robustness. In terms of technology, XMPP was chosen due to the large feature set of that protocol. They also include the PubSub topic-based ones like the update notifications and important news, and are available when connected and after a successful login. The notifications include user-based (directed at active players) and system-based (automatic updates, parental controls). So far, Nintendo shipped more than 34 million units, thus the infrastructure needs to handle millions of concurrent connections. The game consoles are constantly connected to the infrastructure, listening for push notifications. The Nintendo Switch NPNS is a large-scale realtime messaging service based on ejabberd. Here are some details from his presentation at ElixirFest conference. We would need an auth token to avoid bogus messages from being forwarded, and a url where the messages should be forwarded.Last week, Taiyo Watanabe from Nintendo shared some insights about Nintendo Switch Push Notification infrastructure (NPNS) implementation. To retrieve certain options from ejabberd.cfg, so it seemed reasonable to use a similar approach to retrieve a url and access token for our purposes.īased on the applications requirements, I came up with a minimal piece of configuration that we could use to set the details per environment. When an interesting event happens the modules that are subscribed to that event get run. The basic idea behind ejabberd modules is that there are lifecylce events that occur, such as a user coming online, a user going offline, or receiving a message, and a module can subscribe to a particular event. ![]() Everything was regularly deployed to a staging environment and compiling ejabberd modules per environment seemed like a maintenance headache.īody with the data needed by the rails app.There were two things I needed it to do a bit differently.Įasily configure the url where the data was being sent. ![]() That was originally intended to forward offline messages from ejabberd toĪfter digging into the mod_offline_prowl code, I saw that it could be adapted to do what I needed.

To handle the communication with Apple's push notification service. Hypothesisīecause we were concurrently developing a rails app to provide theįor the iOS app, we decided the easiest solution would be to forward the offline messages from ejabberd to the rails app and integrate The solution we came up with requires a some integration, but only between 60-70 lines of code. At the time, it didn't seem like there was a great solution to get messages to offline users directly from ejabberd, so we started doing a bit of research. One of the challenges we had to overcome was sending push notifications to offline users when they received an incoming chat message. The decision was made to use ejabberd as the backend for the chat, with a native, I recently had the fortune to work on an iOS application that included a feature to allow users to chat with each other.

![]() Sometimes when I tried updating my drivers the computer crashed and I had to format my computer in order to restore functions and now it doesn’t happen with DB. ![]() It helped solve slowliness problems with my laptop gamer without crashing it. Once upgrading was complete it was as if my PC had a complete makeover. Once installed and its update began, I hadn't known that half of the programs on my PC were there let alone needed an upgrade. What a surprise to receive the new Driver Booster from IObit. I'm really impressed with the software and would highly recommend it as a product. I usually run windows updates daily to get the latest drivers and driver booster updated and fixed my PC drivers extremely accurately even better than windows update did. driver booster runs in the background and won't strain the CPU and RAM, i was able to play new game titles without having to shutdown any background process. There’s a laser-blocked doorway in the rear of Advanced Systems which may, some day, take you to the final battle of the game.First, I must say its a very light and easy to use handy software. Check her desk for the Advanced Systems Notes Holotape. In a back room to the right is Madison Li speak to her and she’ll install a Courser Chip in your Pip-Boy, allowing you to fast travel in and out of the institute without having to use the Signal Interceptor every time. In here you’ll find Rosalind Orman and Evan Watson. In the northwest is Institute Advanced Systems.As if the Institute wasn’t jammed with stuff already. There’s a Novice locked terminal nearby using it to lock the door next to the terminal will net you more stuff. In the west is Dean Volkert, the resident physician.The terminal on the lower floor has a mind-blowing revelation about an NPC that you should not miss. This area has an appreciable amount of ammo laying around in the side rooms. ![]() In here you can meet Justin Ayo and Alana Secord, and learn more about Coursers in general. To the southwest is the Institute SRB, and you’ll probably find a dude named Newton Oberly arguing with a Courser.There’s not much to see up here besides the occasional tool and implications. In the rear of the room you can find an elevator it leads to a small dig site. To the south, besides stairs up to the apartments looming over everything else, there’s a small storage room.Here you can meet Max Loken and Alan Binet, two dudes obsessed with Synths. Institute Robotics is in the southeast.(I don’t know where this goes, but given the geography, I suspect it leads to the FEV Lab.) You’ll usually find Allie Filmore, the head of Facilities, wandering around in this area, either on the ground floor or up the stairs to the apartments. Near him is a Master locked terminal and accompanying sliding door. The selection is small, but there’s some really neat stuff you’ll only find in the Institute on this dude. In the east is a requisitions Synth who will sell you a variety of arms, armour, and other items.The FEV Lab contains the cure Virgil wanted you to grab, among other things. There’s another in the main area, but it’s behind a Master terminal, whereas this one’s just a Novice locked door. I have done everything, except for loading the network scanner holotape. Check the side storage areas (first right when you enter Bioscience) and, along with a locked storage room, you can find a path into the FEV Lab. Fallout 4 (PlayStation 4) I was working with the railroad and I am now inside the institute. While you’re playing Fallout 4: Institutionalized, you will be given a Network Scanner Holotape.

This guide will show you how to complete Fallout 4: Inside Job, a Minutemen quest which is most easily completed while players are making their way through the main story quests in the game. In the main area you’ll meet the rude Isaac Karlin and the genial Clayton Holdren. This is a laaaaarge area with lots to see and lots to grab, both in the main area and down the jumble of connecting hallways. Up the stairs to the northeast is Institute Bioscience.(The Institute is packed with stuff to Scrap, frankly.) ![]() Head north through here and you’ll see a sliding door beside the stairs this leads to a rear set of storage rooms containing all sorts of nifty junk you won’t find elsewhere in the game. You can purchase Institute Bottled Water and Institute Food Packets. In the north you’ll find the Commissary, a small eatery. ![]() A typical fitting for a high-passive-regen shield-tanked VNI (click to enlarge): Which, quite frankly, is entirely why the ship deserved the attention it got.Įven I covered the use of the ship in my ‘ Ratting for Income‘ video for newbros on YouTube (though admittedly I also recommend the use of other vessels as well) and I’m an advocate for active ratting. ![]() With enough alt characters the VNI allowed both genuinely invested players and those who… aren’t… the ability to generate super-ratting levels of income with a ship which could be replaced, fully-fit, for approximately 90-110 million ISK a-piece. When they clear the anomaly, just warp them to new ones rinse-and-repeat. Any null-sec alliance member could, secure in their own space under the safety of a capital umbrella, put out a half-dozen VNI into anomalies, put out drones, set them to aggressive fire, and set the ship on orbit. The Badįor what CCP amusingly refers to as “ Low-attention anomaly ratting” the Vexor Navy Issue used to be extremely over-powered, which was of course the majority impetus of this balance pass. Those theory-crafters out there who are good at what they do can make the VNI into a thing of savage charm and devastating effectiveness. So very much an extremely capable brawler, and even with my less-than-stellar fitting ability it is a ship to be reckoned with. The new fit, however, still deals 218 dps from guns alone and that is with my imperfect skills. What it loses out on is the capacity to field 5 heavy drones, a reduction of 46 dps overall from the old fit with 5 drones and the same guns as compared to the new fit. Comparing apples-to-apples the VNI, exactly as I have it fit gains an extra 100 dps with the role increase to hybrid turret damage and tracking and sees a huge increase in its repair amount over the old stats. It should be noted this particular fit is designed for solo PVP. So here, for your viewing pleasure, is the same fit on the old ship with one fewer turret, the same number of drones, and the ‘original’ stats. I intentionally kept my version of PyFA – the Python Fitting Assistant – on the last revision so that I could demonstrate the PVP gains the fit has enjoyed with the changes the developers have introduced. It’s pretty beastly, which is why I call mine the Green Meanie. Resists of nearly 60% across the board, ~560 DPS with drones and blasters, 648 m/s with propulsion on (almost 900 m/s with heat), and 180 hp/sec active armor repair (1,629 hp per 9-second cycle). Here’s the fit I’ve been rolling around in lately (click to enlarge): This is not the case for the Vexor Navy they have definitely given it a realignment in step with its intended purpose as a solo cruiser, small-gang skirmisher, and face-melt fleet brawler. ![]() Usually when CCP balances a ship they’re trying to correct for an over-powered meta – and that was definitely the case here, no doubt – but they do not usually make the ship more OP than it was. The GoodĪs a purely PVP ship the VNI was already a beast, but it’s actually gotten a lot more dangerous than I’d imagined this balance pass would have favored. So I’m going to break this article down into three sections: The Good, The Bad, and The Botter. There’s been a lot of mixed attention given to the VNI changes, and so it would be unfair of me if I didn’t give the VNI a solid dialectic examining the changes to the ship from both sides of the fence. Still, I’m coming back to the Vexor Navy Issue after the changes because I think it really does deserve the attention. It’s not often I get to/take the time to write up a piece about a ship twice. ![]() Very CPU-heavy, often averaging 15% of the CPU depending on each user's activity (not good with multiple users on an RDS server) web-based version very unreliable even with an unclogged 100Mbps Internet feed was not designed for Microsoft RDS (to be fair they came out with an RDS-friendly installation about a month after we purchased it) product probably sold from somewhere in Asia (not a problem in itself except for adding an extra day to advanced tech support queries).

On ‘Survivor,’ producers provide the castaways a wide berth to play the game. A formal warning was also given to the male castaway in question. “During the filming of this episode, producers spoke off-camera to all the contestants still in the game, both as a group and individually, to hear any concerns and advise about appropriate boundaries. “In the episode broadcast last night, several female castaways discussed the behavior of a male castaway that made them uncomfortable,” CBS and producers said in a statement following Spilo’s warning.
