Hey guys, author here. Feel free to ask any questions, and I'll try my best to answer them!
- bru 11y agoHow will you handle special key combinations such as Ctrl+C to interrupt what's running? It looks like it will be the second-generation democracy mode. That looks a bit too easy: in theory we would simply have to follow the install guide line-by-line and it would work.
- jbott 11y agoIt works by keypress, which should increase the challenge level (I hope). Combinations like ctrl-c will be one keypress.
- HappyTypist 11y agoI'll place bets on the installation going awry even if the installation guide was followed to the letter.
- stephengillie 11y agoIt looks like "ctrl-c" is mapped to "sendkey ctrl-c". https://raw.githubusercontent.com/twitchinstallsarchlinux/twitch-master/master/map.json https://raw.githubusercontent.com/twitchinstallsarchlinux/tw...
- ingenter 11y agoNot a question, but some suggestions: - Make sure you're streaming in low-delay mode. I've seen some people stream with 8 second delay, but I don't know how they do it. - Count `Ctrl-C` and similar combinations as a single keystroke - Save states God bless the poor VM.
- jbott 11y agoYup! Low delay is awesome. We are getting about a 10 second delay. Save states aren't in quite yet, but that's our next goal.
- sspiff 11y agoMake sure to filter out Ctrl-Alt-Delete and Ctrl-Alt-SysRq. Probably others as well.
- pricechild 11y agoLooks like there's a special 'system_reset' command included...
- yiyus 11y agoAnswering the question in the introduction: No, I do not remember how chaotic Twitch Plays Pokemon was. I do not even know what you are talking about. And since you do not even give me a link, I am not sure I should care. I finally figured out what this is, but the site was not very helpful.
- robwilliams 11y ago"Finally" figured it out? Did Google not give you this result? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitch_Plays_Pok%C3%A9mon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitch_Plays_Pok%C3%A9mon
- yiyus 11y agoYes, but isn't it expected to find that information in the "About" section of the main site instead of needing to search for it? I am just asking for an introductory paragraph like the first paragraph in that Wikipedia article. I apologize for my tone, but I still think it was a fair complaint.
- serge2k 11y ago> Yes, but isn't it expected to find that information in the "About" section of the main site instead of needing to search for it? No, not really. If I launched a new language based on objective-C I wouldn't bother putting in an explanation of what objective-C is. Target audience already knows.
- OJFord 11y agoI guess if I were writing it, I might have made [how chaotic Twitch Plays Pokemon was](a link), but it's not exactly something to go complaining about..
- yiyus 11y agoAt difference of complaining about people complaining, which I see is worth your time... Take it easy people. The web site was not clear for me, the author was asking for input so I raised my point. I already apologized for using the wrong words.
- JonnieCache 11y agoWhat happens when they completely break it? Do you have code to detect that or will someone be on hand to reimage the thing? Will that be a special majority vote scenario? BTW this is the best thing since sliced bread. Good work. I can't wait.
- iancarroll 11y agoIt looks like there is a system reset command that can be voted for.
- Paul-ish 11y agoWhat's the worst that could happen?
- jethro_tell 11y agoThis is a good point. When I first got dropped to a shell in a broom/IT closet, I thought gees I hope I don't accidentally fuck anything up. 4 days later I had to acknowledge I could barely intentionally fuck anything up.
- yxhuvud 11y agoThey could ssh somewhere and commit felonies.

- chipperyman573 11y agoHow will the system_reset command be handled? Will it be a vote system? I feel like there will always be one guy constantly spamming it.
- Natanael_L 11y agoWhat happens if somebody runs a VM sandbox break exploit (however unlikely that is)? Do you wipe the hardware completely?
- barbs 11y agoWill there be some sort of external chat/discussion forum? I seem to remember TPP having a subreddit and an IRC channel for discussing and voting on strategies. Especially useful since the official chat was flooded with commands.
- thomasjames 11y agoWas there any thought to having line discipline as the voting system? As in voting on entries into the terminal up until the first new line character? It would increase the likelihood of having sensible inputs since interacting with a terminal is very different than a video game and there are only a small number of combinations of inputs that are meaningful to it. Also, any thought to disabling signals coming from the terminal? I could imagine a lot of SIG* spam.
- RaitoBezarius 11y agoWhat happens if someone put a reverse shell on the machine and SSH into it or anything to circumvent the normal gameplay flow? How would you go to block all externals SSH connections? Hardware?
