Server went down again, hopefully they're fixing the Firefox issues

Wheat Wizard

Is someone placing stray pixels near the logo?

I keep getting rid of them

ETHproductions

oops I right-clicked a random spot hoping it would get rid of the pixel I was holding and instead it placed it

@WheatWizard Maybe someone's trying to box it

Wheat Wizard

I'm going to leave it alone for a bit

Conor O'Brien

@ASCII-only is it supposed to be easy? haha

ETHproductions

g'night everyone!

ASCII-only

12:34 AM

@ConorO'Brien Well it's almost impossible, you have to check that it is not valid in every language other than the four

hey!

ATaco

I wrote a script that slowly draws things.

I'm using it to turn the board pink.

Mistah Figgins

at the top right?

ATaco

top Left

Run this if you want to help.

Might start bugging if it asks for a Captcha.

Mistah Figgins

1:52 AM

that's what I meant

ATaco

I'm going to try to make it sort of rainbow, but first I need to trick Recapture a bit.

Mistah Figgins

2:08 AM

I kind of want to help with things I'm interested in, but I don't know where to put pixels

PhiNotPi

2:23 AM

idea: hijack the QR code to point to ppcg.ml

Mistah Figgins

lol

that's the one spot that trolls can really do dammage

ATaco

Curse them for adding ReCapcha!

PhiNotPi

Is there a way to compute the minimum number of pixel flips necessary to change a QR code to a new destination?

QR has a bunch of error correction, and actually a lot of "unused" pixels when the message is short, so editing this QR code should actually be pretty practical.

Mistah Figgins

@PhiNotPi CMC?

PhiNotPi

Possibly actual challenge.

But also CMC

Looks like the ppcg.ml qr code is actually really small.

That's good, because if we create a medium-sized QR code with the same content, almost all of it will be dead space.

= an easy way to maintain control over it

Fire Shim

2:40 AM

hey guys, you should join the pxls.space discord: discord.gg/Rb5Tw8P

PhiNotPi

3:06 AM

^ a version 3 QR code, same kind as currently on pxls.space

@FireShim is anything important happening on discord?

Fire Shim

3:31 AM

@PhiNotPi general discussion mostly, also discussing plans for things to build, notifications when the sites down, etc

also if anyone wants to help us make a distributed version of the site, you can help there too

ASCII-only

3:57 AM

@FireShim distributed?

PaRappa the Rapper

PaRappa the Rapper (パラッパラッパー, Parappa Rappā) is a rhythm video game developed by NanaOn-Sha and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation. Created by music producer Masaya Matsuura in collaboration with artist Rodney Greenblat, the game features unique visual design and rap-based gameplay and is considered to be one of the first modern rhythm games. The game was first released in Japan in 1996 and was later released in North America and Europe in 1997. The game was ported to the PlayStation Portable in 2006 and a remastered version was released for PlayStation 4 in 2017. The...

Martin Ender

12:01 PM

I think we're talking about different dogs

I mean the one in the bottom right corner of the staked out blue area (a bit left of that Russian flag up there)

Martin Ender

12:18 PM

Also whoever was doing the rainbox hexagon completed it :)

Luke

12:55 PM

I'm working on a 1px solid blue border around the logo

TuxCopter

1:26 PM

What about adding "r/ppcg" too?

Martin Ender

2:10 PM

@MartinEnder ah, it's the dog from Undertale

Martin Ender

2:21 PM

whoever's helping with the hex lattice is starting to draw over the windows logo. could someone help me fight that back? I don't want to start a war with those guys :D

(the green on the right is fine. the hex there is just touching the logo as it is, but the blue on the left is being drawn over)

Martin Ender

2:48 PM

I tried building away from the logo a couple of times now, but they're not taking the hint :(

Wheat Wizard

@MartinEnder What direction is there to build left

it kindof looks like you are boxed in

Martin Ender

left, bottom right, top right

LegionMammal978

hey

Martin Ender

top

LegionMammal978

We doing a blue border around?

Wheat Wizard

2:51 PM

looks like a bit of a squeeze

Martin Ender

that's fine

server is down for a captcha update now

Wheat Wizard

I'm down to help with the hexes

Martin Ender

or not

LegionMammal978

> send(session, new Data.ServerAlert("Due to widespread abuse, Tor IP addresses have been banned from placing pixels"));

Yup, saw that once

The author(s) know what they're up to

Basic Sunset

Mario's head almost lines up with where a hexagon would go

Wheat Wizard

2:54 PM

@LegionMammal978 I don't know it looks like someone wants to bu tlast time I asked no one spoke up

Martin Ender

there's also three hexagons being filled by at least two people I think

(the green diamond, the yellow thing in the top right, and the blue/pink/yellow one next to the rainbow)

Wheat Wizard

I'm pretty sure the blue and pink it the transgender pride flag and the yellow is just stray pixels

Martin Ender

well the yellow ones were extended (quite far) from the rainbow flag, I think

you might be right on the transgender one though, hadn't seen that one before

LegionMammal978

PhiNotPi

Do people want to create a PPCG-in-Place discord for diplomacy with other factions?

Wheat Wizard

2:59 PM

Seems like a good idea

LegionMammal978

Maybe just a channel on our regular Discord?

TuxCopter

^

PhiNotPi

But doesn't that mean that we invite random people to our server?

LegionMammal978

True

TuxCopter

Ah

PhiNotPi

3:00 PM

I kind of want to keep the original PPCG discord for members only.

I'll make something I guess.

LegionMammal978

Got it, continue making the new one then

PhiNotPi

Where's an image of our pixelated site logo?

Wheat Wizard

663 140

PhiNotPi

no, like an .jpeg or .png

Martin Ender

did someone just put a black hex corner far to the left to stake out another hex? if so, the other one there (next to "JOKE") is a few pixels too far over

Wheat Wizard

3:03 PM

I saw that too

could be but it could also just be a coincidence

LegionMammal978

@PhiNotPi i.stack.imgur.com/lK0Zu.png?

PhiNotPi

Should I title it "PPCG-in-place" (IDK if I can change the title later)

LegionMammal978

i.stack.imgur.com/6Tpou.png doesn't have the pixel borders

You can rename discords

I've done it before

What is that girl on the red flag from? Looks familiar

Martin Ender

3:17 PM

konosuba.wikia.com/wiki/Megumin

no clue what that is, but this is on the r/pxlsspace front page: reddit.com/r/Pxlsspace/comments/63kuzp/…

Basic Sunset

Hmm. Thanks. Never heard of that though :P

quartata

4:09 PM

Haha there's a Visual Studio logo in the top right

TuxCopter

Oh crap out logo is getting attacked

quartata

Crap I placed the wrong color

fml

I like that we're a comfortable distance away from the France-Russia shitshow

TuxCopter

It was once a pirate on a french flag now it's a france-russia-ussr-meme-thunder-anime union

Kritixi Lithos

I'm contributing to the PI approximation

TuxCopter

4:26 PM

Oh

The tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise is going to overwrite our logo

All prepare to defend!

Kritixi Lithos

should we make a bigger logo?

TuxCopter

It's already kinda big

And we simply don't have enough people to make it bigger

Basic Sunset

At the very least, they seem to be rather uncoordinated

Kritixi Lithos

are you talking about darth plague?

Basic Sunset

Yes

Kritixi Lithos

4:31 PM

oh, I just destroyed one of their pixels

quartata

It doesn't seem to have encroached on us yet but let's start working on the border at the top

just in case

Kritixi Lithos

the blue border pixel at the top might interfere with the "l" in "ppcg.ml"

quartata

Ooh, yep, needs to be two higher

TuxCopter

But then we will overwrite darth plagueis

Kritixi Lithos

no worries

TuxCopter

4:33 PM

And they're probably going to take that as a war declaration

quartata

Eh.

Kritixi Lithos

^ I already removed 3 of their pixels

quartata

We can move it up just one pixel if we want.

At any rate they don't have enough space anyways. That egg thing is in the way

TuxCopter

Yeah right

quartata

Hm?

LegionMammal978

4:40 PM

Oh well, they don't seem to have enough users to make serious damage anyway

ETHproductions

Someone's vandalizing the first 5 in the pi approximation to look like 6

TuxCopter

Anyway they chose the worst place in the canavs to place the story

@ETHproductions Where is it?

ETHproductions

697,444

LegionMammal978

Yeah, everyone did that with the Place pi as well

ETHproductions

I just removed the one pixel that made it look like a 6

But there's another right next to it

Kritixi Lithos

4:45 PM

:D

but there's a pixel next to the 7 at the end of the first line

LegionMammal978

@PhiNotPi There, made some necessary additions to the Discord

ETHproductions

lol, the Start button now reads Stop

LegionMammal978

Hammertime

ETHproductions

They should totally make the first tab say that

TuxCopter

@ETHproductions It's more like Sbop

Oh it got unconnected

ETHproductions

5:08 PM

Who's working on the border right now?

It looks like someone's extending the bottom edge

LegionMammal978

I'm working on the bottom edge

TuxCopter

I'm working on the top edge

Kritixi Lithos

someone messed up the 2 in pi

ETHproductions

btw, I tried using pxls.space on my Android tablet this morning and it seemed to work perfectly fine. Did they fix the mobile UI at some point?

(I'm also working on the top, top right corner to be exact)

LegionMammal978

Wait

If I use the thing on my desktop as well as my mobile device, I'll have double the IP addresses

Right?

TuxCopter

5:12 PM

Not if you're on the same network

ETHproductions

^

Kritixi Lithos

there's only one way to find out

LegionMammal978

Okay :(

ETHproductions

I tried it on three different computers and my tablet and they all had the same timer

TuxCopter

pxls is IP-based

LegionMammal978

5:12 PM

Darn IPv4, not having enough addresses

Kritixi Lithos

@TuxCopter everyone on the same network has the same ip-address?

TuxCopter

@KritixiLithos Yup

Not the same local address, but the same global address

ETHproductions

someone messed with our logo

Kritixi Lithos

... I don't know if my "ip-address" is local or global

I've got a pixel in 20 secs

TuxCopter

@KritixiLithos Addresses starting with 127 are local

Basic Sunset

5:16 PM

It's very hard to use on a touch screen

Kritixi Lithos

you mean 127.0.0.1?

TuxCopter

Yup, addresses like that

Kritixi Lithos

"like that", so that means there are others

or not?

TuxCopter

127.0.*.* are local addresses, everything else is global (With the exception of some reserved masks)

ETHproductions

I am now confused about what 192.168.*.* is for

TuxCopter

5:20 PM

Oh wait

I was wrong

127.0.0.1 = loopback address

192.168.*.* = local address

Sorry

ETHproductions

@TuxCopter Did you see the mod invite PhiNotPi sent you?

TuxCopter

Oh

>_> I didn't noticed it

ETHproductions

It's not exactly the most obvious thing

Kritixi Lithos

what powers do mods have?

TuxCopter

oh there's so many buttons

ETHproductions

5:27 PM

Kritixi Lithos

woah

TuxCopter

Where did the border of the PPCG logo go?

Basic Sunset

Rollback?

ETHproductions

wth just happened

Basic Sunset

Site went down for a bit, now it's gone

LegionMammal978

5:30 PM

Rollback probably, Darth Plagiagiagiagiagag text also got partially reverted

ETHproductions

I saw that

LegionMammal978

(I can't spell)

TuxCopter

reddit.com/r/Pxlsspace/comments/63n0n6/…

ETHproductions

It's down again, hopefully they'll fix it

LegionMammal978

And then it's rolled back to the beginning

ETHproductions

5:39 PM

That would officially kill 95% of their userbase

Basic Sunset

5:54 PM

It's still down?

ETHproductions

This is getting slightly ridiculous

LegionMammal978

^

TuxCopter

Pxls is back!

And the loss went to a few hours to some minutes, so it's ok

Martin Ender

I see that project hex is progressing nicely

three more hexagons being filled

TuxCopter

We have 5 minutes of 60s timer :D

LegionMammal978

6:07 PM

> To make up for the downtime/possible lost progress, I give you all 5 minutes of 60s timer

That's nice

20s now

TuxCopter

Wait we have 20s timer

ninja'd

> Happy hour is over, back to 3 minutes

aw

TuxCopter

6:26 PM

Only 4 pixels to go

2 pixels

1 pixel

so srs

Border finished :D

also the OP is hilarious

TuxCopter

I think we are the only SE community represented on r/place or one of the clones

LegionMammal978

6:39 PM

@TuxCopter Wanna create an official list of clones we're on

(or rather, I'll do it)

Kritixi Lithos

7:00 PM

CAPTCHA

it asked me to choose all pictures that contained street numbers

Martin Ender

7:16 PM

there are worse ones

in one you have to draw a polygon around street signs

there's also one where you have to select [rivers, cars, street signs], and each time you do it gets replaced with a new picture and you need to continue until there are none left

fun fact: each hexagon contains 66 pixels, so it would take a single person a bit over 3 hours to completely fill (which at least one person seems to be doing right now)

and two new hexagons are starting to fill. :)

PhiNotPi

7:34 PM

Make a PPCG hex?

TuxCopter

^

Martin Ender

I just make hexes... feel free to fill them with whatever (except swastikas maybe)

meanwhile, I'm becoming a connoisseur of petrol stations...

oh, seems like someone is turning the bottom one into a cube

TuxCopter

Let's use the hexagon on the right of the rainbow for a PPCG hex

Martin Ender

no, that one is already being filled

TuxCopter

ah

Martin Ender

7:39 PM

take one of the four above the rainbow, the one I'm doing on the very right at the moment, or one of the three on the left

there's a vandalised pixel on the actual PCG logo btw

PhiNotPi

let's do the one on the top row directly above the rainbow

Martin Ender

can anyone tell what the blue and orange hex is?

PCG is being turned into POG again

TuxCopter

7:59 PM

Why do people thing PCG is POG?

LegionMammal978

Was put there right before the 72-hour freeze

Basic Sunset

Maybe we should make some PPCG pogs

Strangely we haven't gotten much vandalism

PhiNotPi

8:17 PM

is anyone working on a PPCG hex?

TuxCopter

Me

I'm filling the hex on the top-right of the rainbow one with blue

PhiNotPi

okay, I was asking because that wasn't the one I was working on

DJMcMayhem

See how the QR code next to us has a shadow? That looks really cool, we should do that

Basic Sunset

I thought about it. Would we use the same shade of grey?

Luke

8:49 PM

How about making the logo a square container

Basic Sunset

Are we trying to add a shadow behind the logo or are those grey pixels vandalism?

DJMcMayhem

They're me

Basic Sunset

kk

DJMcMayhem

The only downside to a shado is that it will collide with the border

Luke

I'm moving the border away from the sides of the logo

Placed two blue pixels at the bottom corners

That way, the container will be a square

Basic Sunset

9:02 PM

Oh no, someone's trying to make it POG again.

ATaco

The Shadow of the Logo has begun.

Martin Ender

10:03 PM

results: someone mentioned the hexagons on reddit :D (the author of the Terraria guide, asking for the hexagons not to destroy his work)

quartata

10:48 PM

hahaha

Do we need to do anything about GreenLattice?

quartata

11:05 PM

I wonder if we could build this in the upper right corner.

It would be pretty big sadly

Fire Shim

@ASCII-only Oops, correct link to official Discord: https://discord.gg/YzmZBRY
This is probably the best place for discussing and negotiating plans with others

@quartata Aren't they already building a Connection Lost thing on the upper left corner?

quartata

Yeah but that one's lame and not Source engine themed

Fire Shim

Ah right.. Looks like someone's working on Windows 98 in the upper right though

quartata

11:24 PM

Ah man someone's trying to start a void

(450, 525) pls help

Wheat Wizard

If we had a heatmap for the activity of our ppcg logo there would be a rather bright spot between the C where people are trying to make it pog

man that french flag is awful
