Quoting: M@yeulCWell, was the session authentication information available, or was this one hashed as well? If the former, wouldn't login everyone out be a good security measure? That said, I was logged out on my desktop, so you might have done it already.

I actually removed all sessions and implemented a new bit of code to help with that, so that should have been done anyway to be sure.

Quoting: GuestCould someone have my email address now? :( what kind of issue it was?

Not likely, from what I understand it allowed them to see session information. We don't store anything sensitive in a session, as that would be dumb. Honestly, there's no reason to worry I am just being open about an issue we had today which was promptly fixed by me. An email address was never stored in the session, for reasons such as this.

I have also just implemented a new security measure: To change an account email address, they need to know the password. This will stop any possible changing of email, to any possible attacker then resetting the password by email. That now simply cannot happen.

That was already in place for changing your password, but now there's no way to change your email either without actually knowing your password.

I also just added in another feature: When a password or email address on an account are changed, an email is sent to make you aware. Obviously for email changing, this notification is sent to the old email address.

We also, by default, email you whenever someone new logs into your account, that has been in place for a long time now.

Hope that helps clear up any doubts about us and about how seriously I take any security issue, even when it's a small one.

Post updated. Implemented some new code to display what you currently have in the article (only you see it). It has an ajax link to click to continue to be included if it's correct now, as suggested in our Telegram group [External Link].

Edit: This will be in all reminder articles now, to make it super easy for you.

Quoting: tuxintuxedoPhoronix .

Im sure it's fine and all but a lot of forums have rules on not posting about other similar forums ( no offense) or linking directly, especially those in some sort of semi-competing field. If anything it seems courteous to not mention that site and perhaps just say 'another linux news site'.

Not my call though.

I honestly don't mind people mentioning or linking competing sites.

Quoting: ZapporHmm, I don't think this was something to write about yet...

We write about a lot of things under development, this is no different.

Quoting: scaineDammit. I just bought a 4-pack. The commando mode brought back too many fond memories of the commando mission in command & conquer. And the multiplayer looks pretty spectacular.

If there's an army forming for a Twitch, and I'm available (Friday's can be sketchy for me), I'll be there.

Is there in-game voice in this, or is it just easier to run your own TeamSpeak/Discord/whatever app to handle it?

Can't remember about voice, but it's always easier to use our own stuff to not have random others scream at us :)

So, I should know this, but if you're doing a multi-player game like this (i.e. organised through GOL), what's the official method of voice comms? Is it Mumble, as suggested by cprn? Or Discord, as I'm sure I've heard that mentioned before (maybe for chat, rather than voice though...)?

We usually tend to use Mumble, as people (hello Ysblokje) grumble at Discord. Hell, he grumbles at the ping on our Mumble server as it's in the US too so either is good for me :P

Quoting: armageddon51While I have a vague idea of what MESA is, how do I install this ? I use Linux Mint cinnamon 18.1 and their nouveau driver with my old ATI card (HD5550). Can I install this MESA thing instead ? Can someone help me with that ? Tx

If you're not using the proprietary driver, you will be using Mesa.

nouveau is for NVIDIA, so you will be using a different part of Mesa for an AMD card.

Quoting: GrimfistI have this game sitting in my library since it was on a huge discount in its Early Access phase. After looking at the video I should seriously start playing this game, as I really like what I am seeing :D

I put it off for a little while, but I wish I didn't. It really is amusing!

Quoting: minjNot convinced. IRC will stay forever, this will go away in a year. I'd rather everyone went tox instead.

It's been around since 2014, it has already been here for a few years now.

While I appreciate it, this is probably the sort of thing to create issues on the github for.

That is one specific area I have been drafting up ways to improve, including using functions.
