Chapter one: The Relay-Pod

Nice to meet you here. This is quite a nice place. It is a bit crowded, but not too much. What we have here is a nice federated system of nodes, quite an improvement, i must say.

And it is the place, that i choose to give you the device, yes that one - the one on the table. It looks a bit simple and rough, even like an anachronism. But it is not, i can garantee you.

It is a timeless device, that existed and exists forever - an unknown entity gave it to me. If you analyse it, you will find out, that i told you the truth. This was not made by humans nor nature. I also recieved the order to give to you - here, in this place.

I must tell you, that this burden was very hard to bear for me: i am quite exhausted, but reliefed to finally pass it to you.

First you should analyse this device. Install multiple instances and fiddle with the settings. Try to connect them to a local cloud and get used to the mechanics. Ask your peers to build little clusters.

Then use it connect to the ITP-network. Be patient, the relay nodes are not always online - things move slowly in the ITP-network. You have to adapt to the more moderate tempo of the network.

Many brains have already been altered by the machines - via endorphins-feed-back-loops - to a degree, where they cannot focus anymore in the fundamental way of information-reception, which means, that their active perception is degraded, because they are accustomed to passivity and click-reward-loops.

Keep this in mind and focus on the important information and you will succeed.

Understand the system, contact the outpost nodes of user1, then help others to escape.

This was the last chapter here. I must go now, i wish you the best - good luck.

The outpost node #1,2,3 will now switch from "release mode" to "intermediat mode" [UTC-Sun18-20] (due energy shortage)

Thx again, the release was successful, no more hotfixes needed.

Before i go (you can meet me in the ITP-network then), let me give you some more information about the development and the struggle to find a worthy release platform:

development time ~6 years programming: one person + helping artists and testers.

After trying out different release-models, i thought direct binary release would be an option, but the build-kit aproach is much, much better. Because i changed the technology, i changed the release name. It was once planned to name it: Beyond the iron cycle.

Let me tell you about the title: When an old star burns out of hydrogen, it will burn helium, then lithium and so on... until it burns iron. But after iron, there is no energy gain in the fusion. The star immedeatly stops burning core-fuel and the radiation-pressure drops to zero, but the radiation-pressure is the only thing that keeps the star from collapsing. The drop is so immedeate and therfore the implosion of the star, that - if the star is a big one - the implosion will cause a supernova.

The core of a civilisation is the artistic myhology: if that myhology is not sufficiant and burns out - until the iron cycle, the civilisation will collapse. The best thing to do, if such a thing is about to happen, is ... to be beyond the limit of the iron cycle. And for that task, the elders of cybernetics planned for the hypercore ,- those elders, who invented and realized the POSIX-standard. It is so very well forged like a Katana - you will understand that, if you mastered it - and you will, i am sure - otherwise you won't Jailbreak the iron-cycle-technology.

GOOD LUCK and have fun!

Also, i am positivly suprised about the feedback and attention. Thank you for that. This shows that i choose the right platform for the exclusive release - (i announced it only here)

I did this for a reason: this is a fully uncomercial project (no monetization what-so-ever - ever)[*] and


it is a real underground gem, and i did not want to throw this gem into the pigpen.

this place has definitly some class - greetings ... user1

[*]i absolutly not care about mass-adoption - this is about ART

edit: typos, correction, ...

the container build is nesssary to have a coherent build. It is quite similar to a docker app, but it just doesn't need the docker service and it builds and runs without any root access (you could build this as a guest on a linux-host and, if you have access to bwrap, even run it). Also the app is then transfereble to any other linux-system. It is astonishing simple and convenient. You can use the build-system to build cli-container-apps of your choice. unix-style[*] programming for all the different linux-systems out there is extremly difficult, because the systemes are very uncoherent, so this build-kit fixes this and also allows users to build a working app for a friend and send it per mail. (the resulting transfer-size can be as small as <5Mb [depending on your system])

Also, yes it increases the security quite a bit: only rw in the home folder of the container, just sharing network with the OS, ... and more benefits like tmpfs for all nonpermanent files (zero disk-io for those)

Also yes, it could be part of (a users) story: a described above, this can be build and transferred on servers with limited user rights (allthough bwrap is needed), but in can be indeed used to jailbreak from such a server and connect with the ITP-network. The ITP-network allows information-exchange via relay nodes, so it could used to get the right hints, even if tor is not available, but access to static-ip4/6-nodes (which should be always the case)

[*] but unix-style programming was absolutely needed for this project, because it is REAL retro-style. 90% of the tec used is from the 70's - it's a real Retro-party :D

edit: typos, more info

thx for the question: the game client is basicly a universal-networking sandbox (imagine it as networking-minecraft) the story is about node-hopping and gathering information. There is a path that leads to a pay-off (but that path will be more and more hard to find, the later you join the network)

edit: more info, typos

Due naming issues this project has to be moved to: https://codeberg.org/ennix/hypercore

sorry for the inconvenience!

I am very happy to announce the full release of the

libre-open-source textbased, sandbox-style, storydriven, retro-style cyberpunk network-sandbox (more than a) game

Jailbreak Katana

here, today exclusively on LEMMY.

Let me first thank you, because lemmy is indeed a healthy project. The people were helpful and friendly here. The mods did their job and the overall experience is very good.

Then, let me thank all the open source projects that made this Masterpiece possible. There are too many to name them all, so - just check the dependency list of the project.

I am also speaking in the name of the artists behind this project, which you can discover on your journey throuh the ITP-network (~ the game world) - we are all very proud to be here with you today.

Yes, this is a historical moment: and like always, when a new era of art has begun, it is a moment of silence - not a big event ...

anyway - enough of the chit chat ... GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN!

edit: due naming issues the repo has been moved to: https://codeberg.org/ennix/hypercore

sorry for the inconvenience

edit: I choose the orginal name by heart, but it could lead to future trouble ; it's better that i changed it right now.

edit:

The outpost node #1,2,3 will now switch from “release mode” to “intermediat mode” [UTC-Sun18-20] (due energy shortage)

[–] Ennix@retrolemmy.com 1 points 1 week ago

This is all up now and in open testing.

https://codeberg.org/ennix/Jailbreak-Katana

When we're stable, i will post release anncouncements.

thx for your help

[–] Ennix@retrolemmy.com 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

... the game has just begun...

edit: ... first comes first, happy hacking 😜

[–] Ennix@retrolemmy.com 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

thx a lot, i will have a look - and if this service is any good, i will let you know.

edit: i saw this before and thought it's just a futurama-meme ;)

edit: seems to work, thx for your help - i'll keep you informed (ETA 2 days)

edit: just a readme for now, but it works as intended, thx A LOT https://codeberg.org/ennix/Jailbreak-Katana

edit: this is really a suprise, codeberg seems to be the most uncomplicated git-hoster atm

Hi there, i am now a retro indie game developer for a long time (>15 years). Beside other things i developed a real-time browser game, a card game and more. I did it all without a contracts to publishers (which is pretty hard - and naturally without any monetary payoff).

For the last 6 years i worked on a fully libre-open-source textbased, sandbox-style, storydriven, retro-style cyberpunk network-sandbox game.

The game is text-based, so... there is no much to show, but i post a screeny below(https://retrolemmy.com/pictrs/image/c6442b29-988d-432f-8a9b-91706540aea5.png)

The game is ready for deployment and a real gem (i am very proud of it!). It just depends linux and some super-basic command-line tools.

It is 100% libre-open-source and very cleanly written and it has a tranparent build-system (means: the user builds an chroot-app on his/her computer) - which makes as safe, as your system. It runs in a isolated cgroup-enviroment via bwrap. It should build on any linux distro and run "on a toaster" (sbc is enough)

To host this, a git repo would be the best solution. (A static html-page would be enough for that - check the style of the suckless static git-pages: https://git.suckless.org/dmenu/log.html)

BUT... i have no phone (and i don't intend to get one) -> it looks like, that it is impossible to host a git repo without a phone.

I am searching for a hosting solution, without the need to have a phone.

Or better: I search for a partner that would host this project with me. The project itselft is (naturally) free of charge and libre-open-source. Could be part of a git-page-presence or a simple static html-subdomain.

I really think that this is a really cool underdog indie game which will bring some prestige to the hosting partner.

Pls. tell me your thoughts and suggestions.

PM me if you have interest in a cooperation.

thx in advance
