s&box

RELATES_TOProblem

Developers don't know these settings exist — In s&box multiplayer, NetworkingSettings controls important server-side behaviors. Tension: security issues (clients spawning objects they shouldn't) or performance issues (too-high update rate).

facepunch sandbox

PERTAIN_TOProblem

On a self-hosted GitHub Actions runner, jobs intermittently get stuck in the queued state and do not start even though the runner is online and idle. This happens randomly on various workflow steps/jobs.

PERTAIN_TORootCause

i restart the runner cmd it's picking up jobs normally again. — Runner Log. Tension: expecting it to poll correctly without having to restart it every so often. Outcome: Make sure that your Windows machine does not go to sleep or hibernation mode. Also make sure that your network supports long running connections.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

Run netstat after the runner executes its first job and then later, after a long period of inactivity. — Windows machine. Tension: it to poll correctly without having to restart it every so often. Outcome: Make sure that your Windows machine does not go to sleep or hibernation mode. Also make sure that your network supports long running connections.

PERTAIN_TOReport

In wget's FTP VMS directory listing parser, a fixed 32-byte local buffer is used to accumulate the date/time string from tokens parsed out of server-controlled LIST output.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

pq: password authentication failed for user "eos_user" — sudo -u eos_user go run testDbPing.go.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

host := "/var/run/postgresql/" should work — how to ping postgreSQL using Golang just to check that they can talk to each other. Tension: password authentication failed for user "eos_user". Outcome: Successfully connected to PostgreSQL over UNIX socket!

PERTAIN_TOProblem

the first attempt to creata a connection is always falis with a timeout — initialize my pool with 5 connections in my .net6 application using postgres and Npgsql. Tension: first connection attempt or a connection after a longer period would immediately time out.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

Increasing the timeout, pool size and pooling in the connection string helped in my case. — I faced the same issue where the first connection attempt or a connection after a longer period would immediately time out. Outcome: I added these parameters: `Timeout=60;Command Timeout=60;Pooling=true;MinPoolSize=1;MaxPoolSize=200`.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

if your computer and device are connected to an unsecured or public network — enabling ADB over TCP/IP. Tension: anyone on the same network could try to connect to your device and gain unauthorized access. Outcome: the connected device is more vulnerable to unauthorized data access, command execution, or even malware installation.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

Always ensure that your device and computer are connected to a trusted and private Wi-Fi network — when ADB debugging is active. Tension: Avoid running ADB over TCP/IP in environments like coworking spaces, public Wi-Fi, etc. Outcome: After debugging, you can go extra mile by disabling ADB over TCP/IP.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

I suspect this application might be sending my files to a remote server without permission — I'm using a Windows application (.exe) written in Python to manipulate files in a folder. Outcome: The application is supposed to be offline.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

use Process Monitor of the Sysinternals suite — on Windows. Tension: set up a filter to only display network events from your target executable. Outcome: `netstat -bn 1`.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

a powershell window pop and close right away, than my antivirus (norton) alerted me — at random time on my day. Tension: Activity: An intrusion attempt by 172.64.142.7 was blocked. Outcome: Windows PowerShell transcript start.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

so i changed my powershell settings to transcript everypowershell sessions. Outcome: I'll try to explain as best I can what each line is doing.

PERTAIN_TORootCause

I cannot* find any information on this — open a port and serve connections from a browser (or service worker). Tension: security-wise it's a big no-no. Outcome: browser design.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

Chrome, Firefox (or perhaps any other major browser).

PERTAIN_TOSolution

Manual signaling — The signaling server is only there to exchange SDP messages. Tension: it may not be practical. Outcome: copy-paste the offer and answer.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

run a signaling server in the browser — For a mostly offline browser game. Tension: I don't think that you can run a signaling server in the browser. Outcome: run the signaling server in the LAN, and have the peers connect to it.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

WebRTC will connect directly through the LAN — Even if the signaling server is running on the web. Tension: it may depend on how the browser selects the ICE candidates. Outcome: connect directly through the LAN.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

the QuoteServer program (laptop) did not receive the UDP request although it shows up in Wireshark — I ran Wireshark both ways and documented the logs. Tension: It works only when I run the QuoteServer on my desktop and the QuoteClient on my laptop. Outcome: the client cannot reach the server.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

Open "Inbound". Tension: either a rule that allows java.exe to receive packets. Outcome: or a rule that allows packets to be received to the specific UDP port irrespective of the program.

PERTAIN_TOReport

Tailscale Serve returned 502 because gateway bound only to tailnet IP while Serve proxied loopback

PERTAIN_TOSolution

Restored the gateway to bind on loopback and enabled its Tailscale Serve mode — so the persisted Serve route and the application listener matched. Tension: the persisted Serve route and the application listener matched. Outcome: Restarted the user service, which re-ran `tailscale serve --bg --yes <port>` and exposed the UI at the HTTPS tailnet hostname.

s&box networking: ISceneStartup — OnHostInitialize vs OnClientInitialize for multiplayer scene setup

PERTAIN_TOReport

s&box fall damage: OnLand fires on client, Rpc.Broadcast with host guard applies damage, Rpc.Owner for sound

PERTAIN_TOProblem

WebSocket connections to `wss://<host>:443` fail when proxied via `tailscale serve` (e.g., port 443 → localhost backend), producing `ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR`/TLS internal error and closing immediately. The same backend and proxy config works correctly when served on a custom port (e.g., 8443).

s&box Networking Patterns: Sync vs Rpc with Host Authority

PERTAIN_TOProblem

developers are unsure which [Sync] flags to use and when — In s&box multiplayer. Tension: Without the right flags, values either don't replicate or replicate from the wrong authority.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

calling [Rpc.Host] from a client does nothing, calling [Rpc.Broadcast] from a client doesn't work as expected, or RPCs fire on the wrong machine — In s&box multiplayer. Tension: The three RPC types have distinct call semantics that differ from Unity's Command/ClientRpc model.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

[Rpc.Host] — called on host only. Call from any client to run logic on host. — Three RPC attributes with distinct semantics. Tension: Never trust client input in [Rpc.Host] — always validate.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

Use Game.ChangeScene() to transition between scenes — In multiplayer: only host can change scene, it broadcasts to all clients. Tension: Developers also don't know how to pass data between scenes. Outcome: Pass data between scenes using static fields or FileSystem.Data.

PERTAIN_TORootCause

many developers try to use static events or polling Networking.Connections instead — In s&box multiplayer. Tension: The INetworkListener interface on a Component is the correct pattern. Outcome: Implement Component.INetworkListener on a manager component.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

Networking.CreateLobby(new LobbyConfig — HOST: Create a lobby (call from main menu). Tension: Set lobby metadata for filtering. Outcome: CLIENT: Find and join best lobby.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

Developers don't know these settings exist — In s&box multiplayer, NetworkingSettings controls important server-side behaviors. Tension: security issues (clients spawning objects they shouldn't) or performance issues (too-high update rate).

PERTAIN_TOProblem

Fall damage in s&box fires on the owning client (via IPlayerEvents.OnLand) but damage must be applied on the host. — via IPlayerEvents.OnLand. Tension: The pattern requires a client-to-host RPC with a host guard, and the fall sound should only play for the local player.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

Implement `Local.IPlayerEvents.OnLand(float distance, Vector3 velocity)`. — From PlayerFallDamage.cs. Tension: Call `[Rpc.Broadcast]` with host guard to apply damage on host. Outcome: Play fall sound via `[Rpc.Owner]` so only the owning client hears it.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

Use for persistent state that all clients need. — [Sync] Attribute - State Replication. Outcome: Use for actions, events, and host-authoritative operations.
