<hr />
<div>In 2019 I took a course in Rhetoric and Composition with a focus on semiotics. I haven't functionally taken a writing class in 17 years and this was an accelerated seven week course: the wheels were rusty and moving quickly. My natural thought process is to dissect and list out items, which was helpful in this course, however I found that I don't take well to defensive\supportive writing. Even at the point of turning it, I felt like I needed to defend the work itself: <br />
<br><br>''I dropped the majority of the things from the first draft, it was too much and after reading L****'s comments, I was further off track than I had thought. I think this has a little less crash and burn than the first draft yet I still don't feel like it sticks the landing.''<br><br><br />
My previous iteration that went through both professor and peer review bombed. It was long and it had a lot of background on the comics that paved the way for the movies that were being discussed. From an informational point, it was informative! I trashed the historic bits, carving out a lot of information, and worked on taking a stance, then going after it. One thing I tried in this that wasn't available, with the exception of email perhaps, the last time I wrote something for school was the ability to reach out and engage a citable source for conversation and input, and then include it in the text. Thanks to Dr. Strate for the indulgence and while I was curious if it would fly in the submission, it made it through the grading process. <br />
<br />
<br>Watch that source possibilities frontier expand! <br />
<br />
<br>Sorry, I'm in Microeconomics this semester....<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
Below is my final submission and I scored well in the 100 level course with it, but it felt really odd to push in that direction of writing against my natural flow. For posting here I did some basic formatting, but areas like the Works Cited will have formatting issues, and there were some basic things we had to do around linking it to our course book, otherwise here it is.<br />

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Why Do Children Have To&nbsp;</strong><br><strong>Watch Their Childhood Heroes Die?</strong></p><br />
<p>&nbsp;</p><br />
<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;If you&rsquo;re a long time comic book reader like I am, the last 10+ years of moviegoing probably provided you with a long list of cinematic adventures.&nbsp; With a long list of subjects including Batman, Iron Man, Superman, Spider-Man, Justice League, The Avengers, Star Wars (which shares both books and comic books in its lineage), and Wonder Woman, the movie potentials appear limitless.&nbsp; Whether you are an ardent follower of Marvel comics, a devoted fan of DC comics, or perhaps you like both equally, you can simply indulge in the fact that some of your childhood heroes have been arriving on the big screen. If you're a parent as well, you may be sharing the experiences of your childhood coming to life with your family and if your children are young, you&rsquo;ve probably started to see a particular theme play out over and over again in the stories: death.&nbsp; In fact, every one of the subjects just listed either has a major character or someone directly tied to the hero perishes in the course of the story. The death may be meaningful to the story, it may be gratuitous for shock value, it may not even be permanent, but the scenes are being taken in by young viewers and the messages about what death actually is are not being accurately represented all of the time. The portrayal of death in movies causes children to misunderstand death and movie companies do it for the money.</p><br />
<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Fictional heroes have been around since the dawn of storytelling, their stories relayed through the oral or written word, through art.&nbsp; Through tales of fantastic feats, sometimes historical and sometimes allegorical, a connection with the hero is usually made with the recipient of the story.&nbsp; There may be a trait or ability that we identify with and that hero becomes something larger than life, something with a heavy anchor in our minds, and we make a direct connection with the hero.&nbsp; Lisa Libby, a researcher of behavior at Ohio State University, co-authored a study that showed that readers undergo a phenomenon known as "experience-taking" and that it can be powerful enough to shape behavior outcomes in people.&nbsp; &ldquo;When you share a group membership with a character from a story told in first-person voice, you&rsquo;re much more likely to feel like you&rsquo;re experiencing his or her life events,&rdquo; Libby said. &ldquo;And when you undergo this experience-taking, it can affect your behavior for days afterward.&rdquo;&nbsp; (Kaufman &amp; Libby) With children, the connection with comic and movie heroes often runs deep and manifests itself with masquerading the part of the hero. I have many memories of my son running through the front yard with his red cape flowing behind him or jumping off his bed with his Batman pajamas on, dark mask, and spouting off Batman quotes with his young voice turned awkwardly raspy for effect.&nbsp; When a cartoon would come on with the television, he would load up with the latest scenarios and then dash off to reenact them with his friends or on his own. It was certainly easier to see his connection with these new heroes in his life as he was growing up and not only were they a part of his day to day playtime, they were a part of him.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><br />
<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;To draw a little deeper into personal experience, it took roughly seven more years for heroes and death to collide in a way that was a tangible moment.&nbsp; During the rise of comic-based movies, my family was growing up and I was wasting no time in sharing my geek childhood with them. From reprinted old&nbsp;<em>Spider-Man</em>&nbsp;comics to watching the original&nbsp;<em>Star Wars</em>&nbsp;trilogy numerous times with them, we bonded on the stories of sci-fi and comics, and we were excited to be at the first local showing of Disney&rsquo;s &ldquo;Episode 7 - The Force Awakens.&rdquo;&nbsp; I remember this movie quite well as I went to it waiting to see my childhood heroes on the screen again however instead of simply watching Luke, Leiah, and Han pull off another great escape or stunt, it handed the parent in me an interesting event and my son a horrifying experience. The general story was action packed and moved forward quickly, at least until we came to a very specific scene which played out in the following manner:&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><br />
<p>&nbsp;</p><br />
<p dir="ltr" style="padding-left: 60px;">My wife and I sat at the theater on opposite sides of our children and we watched the movie unfold on the screen.</p><br />
<p dir="ltr" style="padding-left: 60px;"><em>Han, having infiltrated an Imperial base with Chewbacca (once again), sees his estranged son and decides to make a move towards reconciliation with him.&nbsp; He calls out to him by his birth name...</em></p><br />
<p dir="ltr" style="padding-left: 60px;">I can read this scene from a mile away.&nbsp; I look over at my ten-year-old son and he&rsquo;s watching intently.</p><br />
<p dir="ltr" style="padding-left: 60px;"><em>...Han walks slowly out along the bridge walk to confront his son Ben and to convince him to return with them, to leave his current life of evil.&nbsp; Han&rsquo;s son steps closer as they exchange words, his face a billboard for anguish.</em></p><br />
<p dir="ltr" style="padding-left: 60px;">I reach over to put my hand on my son&rsquo;s hand and he&rsquo;s outwardly stoic has he brushes my hand away.&nbsp; Is he waiting to see if Ben (Kylo Ren) gives in and returns home with his father? Can he read this scene as I can? Does he have years of retold stories behind him and the jaded wisdom that I have?</p><br />
<p dir="ltr" style="padding-left: 60px;"><em>As they stand on the bridge over the large Empire Strikes Back-like shaft, Kylo Ren turns his lightsaber on, right through Han&rsquo;s chest&hellip;that didn&rsquo;t end well for Han.</em></p><br />
<p dir="ltr" style="padding-left: 60px;">And I look over again to see my son&rsquo;s chest had heaved.&nbsp; The tear hangs there on the edge of his left eye, visible in the projector light, but he holds everything else in.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><br />
<br><br />
<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;There we were as a family watching one of my childhood heroes die and I was less concerned for Han plummeting off the bridge than I was for the reaction of my son.&nbsp; He&rsquo;s known the character for a fraction of the time I have yet I can tell he&rsquo;s made those heroic connections already. As we watch one of his heroes die on screen, I realized at that moment that he was processing some very negative emotions from the scene.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><br />
<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;In 2005, Meredith Cox, Erin Garrett, and James A. Graham published a study, &ldquo;Death in Disney Films,&rdquo; in the journal&nbsp;<em>OMEGA - Journal of Death and Dying&nbsp;</em>that studied the potential influence of films in relation to children&rsquo;s concepts of death.&nbsp; The study analyzed ten full-length Disney animated films and focused on how the death that was depicted might fit into a child's understanding of death &ldquo;and accepting the emotions that come along with that realization.&rdquo;&nbsp; (Cox 269) The parent plays a significant role in helping a child understand what death is and sometimes is a limiting factor. Often when a death occurs and explanation is required, parents shift their main objective from teaching about the subject and instead take a protective path of explanation. &nbsp; &ldquo;Though their intentions are good, many adults often hinder children&rsquo;s understanding of death by using confusing terms and abstract language to explain the concept to them.&rdquo; (Cox 270). The analysis relays a list of analogies used to soften the impact of death and, having grown up on a farm with many animals, many of them sounded familiar: &ldquo;passed away&rdquo; or &ldquo;seeping for a long time&rdquo; or &ldquo;taking a long trip.&rdquo; (Cox 270)&nbsp; Vague terms like these work to avoid the finality of death and even work to confuse the status of the person or thing that has died. A child is left to wonder if the person will &ldquo;wake up&rdquo; and, if not, the child may link sleeping to death in a way that causes them to be afraid of going to sleep. Without the understanding of what death is, children will make their own linkages and understandings.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><br />
<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Movies exacerbate the complex problem for children by depicting death in an unreal or even fantastical way and it affects the grieving process.&nbsp; Depending on who has died (hero or villain), how the death occurred (violent or non-violent), and the type of attention given to the death (grieving or ignoring), the factors that a child must add together in order to process the death is a lot for a young mind to put together to reach a resolution on how to handle the death.&nbsp; Cox points out that some movies handle this well, like&nbsp;<em>The Lion King</em>, where the movie not only acknowledges the death and &ldquo;offers a realistic view of grief as well as a resolution to sadness.&rdquo; (Cox 271)&nbsp; Other movies, even a classic children's movie like&nbsp;<em>Bambi</em>&nbsp;where the death of the mother is acknowledged but not grieved, carries this issue where death has obviously occurred but there is no solid resolution emotionally for the viewer.&nbsp; Even worse, movies will sometimes distort death and allow a fallen character to be spoken with or even brought back (through various means including resurrection, passing of the mantle, or even ghostly visages).&nbsp; While it progresses the story, for children it warps what death should mean and leaves it without finality.</p><br />
<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Processing death is complicated and I have no doubt that seeing Han Solo taking a lightsaber through the abdomen and falling off a catwalk into a deep shaft was a trying scene.&nbsp; Han&rsquo;s death pushed my son headfirst into processing what had just happened: Han Solo, a hero of both of ours, was just definitively killed by his son. Three years after that scene I still remember his physical reaction to the shocking moment and I wonder now how he reconciled his thoughts after the loss of a prominent, albeit fictional, hero figure.&nbsp; Even at such a young age, the pantheon of heroes that individuals have collected are often reflective of the search to create one&rsquo;s own identity. In&nbsp;<em>Denial of Death</em>, Ernest Becker&rsquo;s 1974 Pulitzer Award-winning book, Becker wrote &ldquo;what most people do is to follow one person&rsquo;s ideas and then another&rsquo;s, depending on who looms largest on one&rsquo;s horizon at the time.&nbsp; The one with the deepest voice, the strongest appearance, the most authority, and success, is usually the one that gets our momentary allegiance; and we try to pattern our ideals after him.&rdquo; (Becker 255) When a hero has been woven into the pattern with this much importance and then torn out abruptly, the impact can be devastating and hard to process for the younger mind.&nbsp;&nbsp;This seems like a pretty bold move on the part of comic book and movie writers.&nbsp; Why do they do it? There&rsquo;s apparently a lot of money to be earned through it.</p><br />
<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Through a brief Twitter exchange with Dr. Lance Strate (<em>Professor of Communication and Media Studies and Associate Chair for Graduate Studies</em>&nbsp;at Fordham University and one of the founders of the Media Ecology Association) on this overall subject, he tweeted &ldquo;I also think there&rsquo;s the problem related to the medium/format of serialization &amp; never-ending stories that make it hard to find new plot lines. Also with declining sales, crossing the old taboo of death of a major character is a boost.&rdquo; (Strate 1)&nbsp; Dr. Strate also points out that death represents change symbolically and that the &ldquo;death of a hero allows for another to take up the mantle, again more novelty for writers.&rdquo; (Strate 2) The novelty of death and the draw of heroes returning, either by new title holders or by resurrecting heroes through fantastic means, appears to continue to drive sales and movie attendance so much so that comic book hero movies are now a multi-billion dollar industry.&nbsp; In the last 10 years alone, the Walt Disney Company (Disney) purchased Marvel for $4 billion dollars (Smith) and Marvel continued to deliver profitable movies for the following three years, one of which currently still holds the #7 spot for &ldquo;All Time Worldwide Gross.&rdquo; (&ldquo;All Time Worldwide Box Office Grosses&rdquo;) In 2012, Disney acquired LucasFilms LTD, for $4 billion dollars (Grocer), and became the owner of the book series turned movie franchise&nbsp;<em>Star Wars</em>.&nbsp; Since those purchases, worldwide, the Marvel purchase has yielded $21 billion dollars in 23 movies and the Star Wars purchases have brought in $5.5 billion in 4 movies.&nbsp; Not to leave DC out of the conversation,&nbsp;Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy, and specifically the Dark Knight Returns which was&nbsp;"a box-office smash unlike anything a DC character had ever seen," (Reisman) raised $2.4 billion.&nbsp;(&ldquo;All Time Worldwide Box Office Grosses.&rdquo;)</p><br />
<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;With a combined billion dollar industry at stake, the demand for such material will certainly continue the drive the stories that are produced.&nbsp; Perhaps if writers could reach beyond using death as the draw, to craft stories that were challenging, we might be able to share these experiences on the big screen without wondering which hero will give up his or her life in exchange for cash in the movie company's coffers.&nbsp; Until that time comes, kids will be watching their heroes die and the money will continue to flow.</p><br />

<div>=Background=<br />
For a long time (too long), I put off updating Mediawiki and the server (Ubuntu 16.04) it ran on. Waiting only made it worse as installing upgrades and testing became nearly impossible via apt repositories. Updating 16.04 up to 18LTS broke things, php versions changed multiple times, etc. etc.<br />
<br><br><br />
If you look at the compatibility table, it ends up looking like 6 jumps to get to 1.39LTS and that's a lot of updating.<br />
=The Long Path=<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
! Version !! MySQL !! PHP !! Jumps !! Status !! Notes <br />
|-<br />
| MediaWiki 1.39 LTS || MySQL 5.7.0 or higher || PHP 7.4.3 or later || 6 || DONE || 8.1.0+ is possible here <br />
|-<br />
| MediaWiki 1.38 || MySQL 5.5.8 or later || PHP 7.3.19 or later || 5 || || <br />
|-<br />
| MediaWiki 1.37 || MySQL 5.5.8 or later || PHP 7.3.19 or later, or PHP 7.4.3 or later || 4 || || <br />
|-<br />
| MediaWiki 1.36 || MySQL 5.5.8 or later || PHP 7.3.19 or later || 3 || || <br />
|-<br />
| MediaWiki 1.35 LTS || MySQL 5.5.8 or later || use PHP 7.3.19+ || 2 || DONE || 7.4.3 is possible here <br />

|-<br />
| MediaWiki 1.32 || MySQL 5.5.8 or later || PHP 7.0.0 || || || <br />
|}<br />
=The Short Path=<br />
Instead, try getting to LTS 1.31 if you're not already there. I had one set of wiki's at 1.33 and one at 1.31: I opted to level everything in the same way, but that was still only 3 jumps.<br />
<br><br><br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
! Version !! MySQL !! PHP !! Jumps !! Status !! Notes <br />
|-<br />
| MediaWiki 1.39 LTS || MySQL 5.7.0 or higher || PHP 7.4.3 or later || 3 || DONE || 8.1.0+ is possible here <br />
|-<br />
| MediaWiki 1.35 LTS || MySQL 5.5.8 or later || use PHP 7.3.19+ || 2 || DONE || 7.4.3 is possible here <br />
|-<br />
| MediaWiki 1.33 || MySQL 5.5.8 or later || PHP 7.0.0 || 1 || DONE || <br />
|-<br />
| MediaWiki 1.31 LTS || MySQL 5.5.8 or later || PHP 7.0.0 || 0 || START || Go to 7.4.3<br />
|}<br />
<br>That's a little better.<br />
=The Approach=<br />
==Prepping the Databases==<br />
* From the old sites I made copy of the Extensions that were installed via the Special:Version page<br />
* After putting together a new Ubuntu 22.04LTS server in VM, I opted to put <br />
** MySQL at 5.7.0+ <br />
** php at 7.4.3<br />
* I installed the lowest version of MediaWiki I required and verified it worked.<br />
** I then pulled in a backup of my two wiki sites<br />
** I imported images/ from the same site<br />
** I pointed mediawiki (via localsettings.php) at one of the databases<br />
*** Ran maintenance/update.php --force<br />
** Verified that the information loaded in the new site<br />
* NOTE: I entirely ignored Skins and Extensions.<br />
* Repeated for Site #2<br />
* Once I had a working MW site for each database, I installed the next LTS MW version.<br />
* Repeated the above steps<br />
* Once I had a working MW site for each database, I installed the next LTS MW version.<br />
* Repeated the above steps<br />
* Eventually I had two working MW databases at 1.39<br />
==New Ubuntu Server==<br />
* I created a new Ubuntu 22.04 server and on this one, I took the time to set up various security related items.<br />
* I opted to put<br />
** MySQL at 8.0.35-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 <br />
** php at 8.1.2-1ubuntu2.14 (apache2handler)<br />
* Installed apache2, created a new MW1.39LTS site to verify it ran under the new software.<br />
* From there, I imported the two site databases, copied the 1.39 directory to two separate directories, set up MW, imported images and all was good.<br />
==Extensions and Skins==<br />
* The Skin was freshly installed from the latest version. Not much of an issue there.<br />
* This was a little more tedious: I matched up the default 1.39 extensions against the old site listings and then went looking to for the latest extensions.<br />
** Some extensions were still in production<br />
** Some were not<br />
* Fiddled until things were working. Had to fix some code for YouTube.<br />
=Summary=<br />
* I tried this about seven months ago and I was attempting to update the extensions as I went: this was not the way to go. Getting the database updated was the key and ignoring everything else made that easier to do. All a wiki really is at the base is the information (database) and the images/... everything else is functionality.<br />

Fran (aka) Darling met her love of her life Charles York, in 1961 online (at the 30-yard line at a Lawrence High School football game). They were married for 57 years. They love to dance to their favorite song Tennessee Waltz. If you ever spent time with them, you knew how much they loved each other.<br />
<br />
She had the biggest heart and a beautiful smile. She was a private person, but very witty and fun! She knew how to keep Charlie in line. She loved to cook, especially for Charlie’s old workplace, go for rides with him, and stop at lawn sales along the way. The couple traveled all over the state of Maine to poke around in the antiques malls. Fran was a very crafty person, she made beautiful baskets every year for her love’s ones in the cemetery. She loved to play games and especially enjoyed beating Charlie in Farkle. There was nothing she loved more than getting the most wins in their yearly tournament. She also liked to line dance and loved all holiday decorations. She collected snowmen and Friendly Village dinnerware. She had two dogs, Rambo and Harvick, that she loved and took care of until it was their time to cross the rainbow bridge.<br />
<br />
She had many accomplishments during her lifetime. One of them was that she worked for Colby College for 34 years in food service. Another accomplishment was that she and Charlie were seasonal campers at Happy Horseshoe for 36 years. You could see Fran riding her golf cart to the different camp sites visiting her camper buddies and playing bingo on Friday nights. She loved participating in many of the events at the Shoe over the years. She made many special friends and enjoyed many conversations while sitting in her rocking chair on her deck at their camp site. Oh, are we going to miss the… cabbage rolls… the fudge… and we are all left asking a lingering question, “Who’s going to make the gravy?”.<br />
<br />
She is survived by her loving husband Charles, her daughter Carrie and husband Joseph Pomerleau, her son Charles York Jr. Her two sisters Janice Beane and Camilla Levasseur and her brother and Arthur Thibodeau. Two grandchildren, Nicholas Capeless and Owen York and one great-grandchild Brooke Pullen.<br />
<br />
She was preceded in death by her parents, [[Joseph Thibodeau Jr.|Joseph]] and Dorothy Weaver Thibodeau, brothers [[Joseph Thibodeau III|Joseph Thibodeau]] and [[James Thibodeau]], and one granddaughter [[Kayleigh York]].<br />
<br />
You will be missed by your family members, friends, and your special camp buddies. We all send our heavenly love to you Fran.<br />
<br />
Our family would like to extend our deepest thanks to all the special people who brought food, visited us, and sent flowers to our house. It brought great pleasure to us during this difficult time.<br />

==About==<br />
<center>[[File:07_LSN_Blender.png]]</center><br />
<br />
Less than two months into a game that has roots back to 1984 and my Commodore 64, I embarked on an expedition that I've still yet to return home from at the time of this page going up. Along the way I've seen some great places in game, but better than that met some great people along the way. Below are links that better describe the expedition than I ever could. For some unknown reason, I decided to craft something in Blender3D, print and send out to a few individuals as a ''Thank you'' and also make it available for everyone to produce one as well. Below is everything I put into making the coins and I hope one or two pop up beyond the 13 I made.<br />

<br />
==Directions==<br />
* Below are my steps for creating the coins. YMMV.<br />
===3D Printing===<br />
<youtube>ZYjBJZRjBho</youtube><br />
<br />
===Sanding===<br />
* Lightly sand the edges and any surface you can without damaging the raised items. You can see in some of the final coins the ones where a combination of sanding and primer worked well and others that didn't during testing.<br />
===Painting & Items===<br />
* Someday I'll buy an airbrush kit. Until then, fun with aerosol cans!<br />
* Requirements:<br />
** [https://www.krylon.com/products/automotive-sandable-primer/ Krylon Sandable Primer]<br />
** Gloss Black spray paint<br />
** Blue acrylic paint<br />
** Metallic Silver spray paint<br />
** Mod Podge® Clear Acrylic Sealer, Gloss<br />
** Modelling glue<br />
** Something to fit under the coin to keep if off the resting surface (washer, nut, etc)<br />
** Sand paper (med grit to fine grit)<br />
<hr><br />
====Primer====<br />
[[File:01 LSN PrimerCoat 01.jpg|thumb]]<br />
[[File:01 LSN PrimerCoat 02.jpg|thumb]]<br />
* Do two separate coats of prime where the first coat is close to a dusting.<br />
* Second coat should fill in a lot of the printer lines<br />
<hr><br />
====Black Coat====<br />
[[File:02_LSN_ShinyBlack.jpg|thumb]]<br />
* Apply a single shiny black coat<br />
<hr><br />
====Blue Highlights====<br />
[[File:03 LSN BlueHighlights.jpg|thumb]]<br />
* Lightly apply blue acrylic paint to various raised areas. I used a toothpick to do the coins. There are one or two green coins in the bunch, however blue seemed to be the best choice.<br />
<hr><br />
<br />
====Silver Dusting====<br />
[[File:04_LSN_DustedWithSilver.jpg|thumb]]<br />
* Lightly apply a dusting of silver. The goal is to try and let some of the gloss black poke through. Your call on the final outcome. In my batch, the 13 coins ran a range between almost full silver vs a moderate dusting.<br />
<hr><br />
<br />
====Glue====<br />
* Glue the halves together<br />
* Only four or five dabs of model glue is needed. Don't let it ooze from the middle onto the edges of the coin.<br />
<hr><br />
<br />
====Seal====<br />
[[File:05 LSN Sealing.jpg|thumb|The 13]]<br />
* Seal the coin with Mod Podge Clear Acrylic Sealer<br />
* This helps not only protect the coin but also to seal in some of the paint smell<br />
<hr><br />

| [[File:BruceAlmightyMcCallum.png|thumb|left]]||Our beloved brother Bruce Mccallum, of Newport, Maine passed peacefully at his home after a brief illness on Friday, February 3rd. Bruce was born December 18th, 1959 in Bristol, Pennsylvania and later moved to Maine with family where he grew up. He graduated from Nokomis Regional High in 1978 and then went on to study at the University of Maine at Augusta. He worked for many years at Bangor Welding and Gas as the Specialty Gas and Fill Plant Manager.<br><br><br />
<br />
Bruce was a self taught professional musician. He was a singer, songwriter, guitarist and performer. He played in many bands throughout his career, some of which were Freeway, The Limit, Northstar, Fonda’s X, Ice 9 and his most current band being eightysomething. Most notably he performed in the band Rokken along with his sister Carol, the lead singer. With Rokken, he toured the eastern United States opening for national acts and did some recording. He was affectionately known by his peers and his fans as “Trick” and “Bruce Almighty”. He constantly strove for perfection in his craft and was admired by many for his technical skills and his sound. The Portland Press Herald once named him as one of the best guitarists in Maine. <br />
<br><br><br />
He was very proud of his Scottish heritage and cherished his trip to see his family, meeting most of them for the first time. He was an avid dog lover and a big supporter of many animal rescue foundations. He was a loving brother who will be sorely missed by many. He is survived by his brother John and Susan McCallum of Hampden, sister Carol and Doug Saunders of Plymouth, sister Susan and David Ross of Pittsfield, sister Rebecca and Steve Brewer of Virginia, sister Fiona and Mike Beane of Newport. Nieces and nephews: Ryan, Megan, Cameron, Rachel, Nick, Ian, Alyssa, Kylie, Sarah, Erin and Callum. He will be missed by the many cousins in Scotland, too numerous to name individually. Bruce was predeceased by his father William McCallum and Marion Murphy McCallum both from Scotland and Plymouth Maine. <br />
<br><br><br />
There will be an open house celebration of life at the Barrows-Skidgell Legion Hall in Newport on Saturday, March 4 from 1-4. Please feel free to stop by and share a memory or story.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''First and foremost, no one should have to know this stuff to get the game to work in a reasonable fashion. ''Full stop''.'''<br />
<br />
However like many things within the game that takes time to figure out how to do, this just ends up being another game puzzle... albeit outside of the game. If this helps other commanders enjoy the game, then +1 to karma.<br />
<br />
If any commanders have questions, feel free to contact me (@rabbibob or @betamountain on Twitter) or on the Loose Screws Network Discord. I'm happy to assist as I can with any of the below, including the new wave of console players that have migrated into the PC realm.<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
Sometime around Update 14, some commanders began having issues checking out and cashing in missions in Elite:Dangerous. This resulted in frustration, especially when earnings were lost due to missions timing out without the ability to turn them into completed missions. <br />
<br />
You can see the post on the FDev forums [https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/mission-boards.611468/post-10050753 here] where I finally hit the nail on the head.<br />
<br />
==Primary and Mission Servers==<br />
The following is derived solely from trial & error and looking at the netlog generated from the game. When starting a session Elite reaches out to Elite servers hosted at Amazon AWS and seeks to contact a primary server. This server acts the over-arching go to for the session for various items. Upon receiving a primary server, the game then establishes contact with one of the MissionManager servers. As you jump between systems, it is normal to see new MissionManager server elections routinely.<br><br>The game client will reach out to a server in 15 second intervals and for three tries, if a connection is not made it will attempt to elect a new server. One can assume there is a load balancing operation behind the scenes orchestrating the servers that get handed out.<br />
<br />
==When Mission Boards Fail==<br />
If you get a bad mission board, especially when cashing in, we should try to see if we can get to a different server. Many attempt relogging, jiggling the router handle, etc. however if the load balancer hands out the same server, you get that server. <br />
<br />
Consider if a server connection fails three times you get a new server, maybe we can look at causing that connection to fail.<br />
<br />
How do we do that?<br />
===Outbound Firewall Rules===<br />
I'm going to use this [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-firewall/create-an-outbound-port-rule Microsoft] article as the basis for the steps below.<br />
<br />
# Use the Windows bar to search for and open: Windows Defender Firewall<br />
# Select Advanced Settings (a new window opens)<br />
# Right Click Outbound Rules and select New Rule<br />
## What Type of Rule? Custom<br />
## What Does This Rule Apply To? All programs<br />
## Protocol: Any<br />
## What local IP? Any<br />
## What remote IP? Add the IP address of the failed MissionManager (see below)<br />
## What Action? Block the connection<br />
## When does this rule apply? Check all three<br />
## Name: EDServers<br />
## Description: Bad Mission Board Servers<br />
<br />
<br>You've created an outbound block firewall rule! At any time you can right click the rule to Enable or Disable it. If you want to add\remove servers to it, right click it for Properties and go to the Scope tab.<br />
<br />
===How Do I Know The Server?===<br />
The main login screen shows you connection attempts to the primary session server, but you'll need to look at the netlog for the mission server. The logs are found in the game install directory:<br><Br><br />
* <gamedir>EliteDangerous\Products\elite-dangerous-odyssey-64\Logs\<br />
<br><br><br />
Open up the latest netlog directory and look towards the end of the file for the latest mention of a mission server.<br />
* Example: MissionManager disconnecting from server EDServer#1952<br />
<br><br><br />
The start from the top of the file and search for the EDServer that was shown. That will get you the line with the IP address of the server in question.<br />
* Example search: '''))EDServer#1952'''<br />
* Result: {00:42:50GMT 105.447s} AddSession: 0x0000096c5090e2b6: 17198922774039 x 8 [0/2]((<font color = "red">'''34.243.214.8</font>:19364'''))EDServer#1952<br />
<br><br><br />
The IP to block in this example is 34.243.214.8.<br />
<br />
===That Is A Lot Of Work===<br />
Yes, it is. I ran the powershell script below in "Real Time View" when the game was running to see the servers change throughout the game. It can be used to assist in finding the bad server IP, often even if it is started after awhile in game. If not, log to desktop, log back into the game and start a session, then start the script. It will show you the most recent servers in question and if your mission board is broken, you have the IP right there. Log to desktop, block it, log back in and play.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Real Time View==<br />
You can view this in real time by monitoring the newest netlog that is in the game's log directory (this is not the commander's journal directory). If you are aware of how to run a powershell script, here is some code to get you started:<br />
<br><br><br />
<pre><br />
## Start this script after you are in game<br />
## Set the directory of the log output location<br />
$dir = "D:\Games\EliteDangerous\Products\elite-dangerous-odyssey-64\Logs\"<br />
## Grab the newest file in that directory for monitoring<br />
$latest = Get-ChildItem -Path $dir | Sort-Object LastAccessTime -Descending | Select-Object -First 1<br />
$fullpath = $dir+$latest.name<br />
Get-Content $fullpath -wait -tail 500 | Select-String -pattern "MissionManager","System:","Primary Server:"," AddSession:"<br />
</pre><br />
<br><br><br />
<center>[[File:ED-Servers.png]]</center><br />
<br><br><br />
<br />
==That's It==<br />
Again, no one should have to know this... but if you have a few hundred million in missions that you're about to lose it could be worth the hassle figuring it out!<br />

<div># Weeding out useless transmissions in a sample base from 280,000 emails via three accounts back to roughly 2006. <br />
#* I have a high degree of duplicates because I previously had emails from @mikebeane and @rabbibob forwarding to rabbibob@ and this is causing some difficulties and numbers skewing (not enough for me to worry about final totals)<br />
#* And I used the Remove Duplicate Messages add-on just now in Thunderbird: 36,000 duplicates (72,000 first+others). Removed those from the source.<br />
# One downside of my approach is that I'm not capturing a high level count of things before removing, which skews some of the output numbers as we go: if an email is found earlier by a search term in removed, it can't be counted in subsequent searches.<br />
