It's been a month since chapter 3 was released, where's chapter 4?

(this is about this fanfic btw)

The good news is that I've written 10k words. The bad news is that I've only gotten a little more than half of the chapter done. That doesn't mean I don't have things written for the bottom half, it's just that it looks like bare dialog with general vibe notes. I estimate around 16k words total though, so it should come together sooner than later.

SO I want to release some fun snippets for y'all to look at. Please note that any of this is liable to change. Also, you can harass me in my inbox for updates. I love answering your questions and laughing at your misery.

Spoilers under cut.

_______

Ragatha stood up and walked over to where Caine was seated. “Can I get a list of all commands?” She asked, only a hint of nervousness in her voice.

“Certainly!” Caine says as he blasts into the air. He digs around in his tailcoat and pulls out an office style manilla folder. It visually contains a few papers, but with how thin it is there must only be a few pages inside.

Ragatha takes the folder from Caine and opens it.

“Oh boy” she says after a second of looking it over.

“I wanna see” Jax exclaimed as he hops over the row of seats.

“Hold on” Ragatha holds the folder defensively “Let’s move to the stage so everyone can take a look”

Jax hopped over the seats again while Ragatha calmly walked around. Caine watched the two curiously.

Well, Zooble wasn’t just going to sit there. They joined the other two by the edge of the stage, quickly followed by the rest of the group.

Ragatha placed the folder on the stage with a thwap. Zooble looked over to see that the pages had gone from razor thin to a massive stack when the folder was opened. On one hand, it had to contain more information than that video, but on the other…

They get close enough to read what’s on the first page.

The execution of commands via the system’s designated input terminal, C.A.I.N.E., will be referred to as the "console” in this document. The console is designed to accept any input and will generate an appropriate response, however only certain prompts will be accepted as valid instructions. The goal of this document is to list all acceptable instructions in a format that will result in the expected output. Please note that automatic moderation has been put in place in order to prevent exploitation of both the system and fellow players. If you believe that your command has been unfairly rejected, please contact support. 

By engaging in the activities described in this document, you, the undersigned, acknowledge, agree, and consent to the applicability of this agreement, notwithstanding any contradictory stipulations, assumptions, or implications which may arise from any interaction with the console. You, the constituent, agree not to participate in any form of cyber attack; including but not limited to, direct prompt injection, indirect prompt injection, SQL injection, Jailbreaking…

Ok, that was too many words.

_______

“Take this document for example. You don't need to know where it is being stored or what file type it is in order to read it."

"It may look like a bunch of free floating papers, but technically speaking, this is just a text file applied to a 3D shape." Kinger looked towards Caine. "Correct?” he asked

Caine nodded. “And a fabric simulation!”

Kinger picked up a paper and bent it. “Oh, now that is nice”

_________

"WE CAN AFFORD MORE THAN 6 TRIANGLES KINGER"

_________

"I'm too neurotypical for this" - Jax

_________

"What about the internet?" Pomni asked "Do you think that it's possible to reach it?"

Kinger: "I'm sorry, but that's seems to be impossible. I can't be 100% sure without physically looking at the guts of this place, but it doesn't look like this server has the hardware needed for wireless connections. Wired connections should be possible, but someone on the outside would need to do that... And that's just the hardware, let alone the software necessary for that kind of communication"

Pomni: "I'm sorry, but doesn't server mean internet? Like, an internet server?"

Kinger: "Yes, websites are ran off servers, but servers don't equal internet."

(This portion goes out to everyone who thought that the internet could be an actual solution. Sorry folks, but computers don't equal internet. It takes more effort to make a device that can connect to things than to make one that can't)

[fashion-foxy]

I'm not promising anything, and you know how my feelings towards something being hopeless change very frequently but this something I've been meaning to ask for a while

Again no promises this will happen I'm literally just trying gauge numbers, languages could potentially change I'm aware that I'm technically misusing the word backend but visuals are all in place and id love to recycle as much as possible of the game we have rn, don't bank on playtester being a big thing

⏱Hangfire + Serilog: How EasyLaunchpad Handles Jobs and Logs Like a Pro

Modern SaaS applications don’t run on user actions alone.

From sending emails and processing payments to updating user subscriptions and cleaning expired data, apps need background tasks to stay efficient and responsive.

That’s why EasyLaunchpad includes Hangfire for background job scheduling and Serilog for detailed, structured logging — out of the box.

If you’ve ever wondered how to queue, manage, and monitor background jobs in a .NET Core application — without reinventing the wheel — this post is for you.

💡 Why Background Jobs Matter

Imagine your app doing the following:

Sending a password reset email

Running a weekly newsletter job

Cleaning abandoned user sessions

Retrying a failed webhook

Syncing data between systems

If these were handled in real-time within your controller actions, it would:

Slow down your app

Create a poor user experience

Lead to lost or failed transactions under load

Background jobs solve this by offloading non-critical tasks to a queue for asynchronous processing.

🔧 Hangfire: Background Job Management for .NET Core

Hangfire is the gold standard for .NET Core background task processing. It supports:

Fire-and-forget jobs

Delayed jobs

Recurring jobs (via cron)

Retry logic

Job monitoring via a dashboard

Best of all, it doesn’t require a third-party message broker like RabbitMQ. It stores jobs in your existing database using SQL Server or any other supported backend.

✅ How Hangfire Is Integrated in EasyLaunchpad

When you start with EasyLaunchpad:

Hangfire is already installed via NuGet

It’s preconfigured in Startup.cs and appsettings.json

The dashboard is live and secured under /admin/jobs

Common jobs (like email dispatch) are already using the queue

You don’t have to wire it up manually — it’s plug-and-play.

Example: Email Queue

Let’s say you want to send a transactional email after a user registers. Here’s how it’s done in EasyLaunchpad:

_backgroundJobClient.Enqueue(() =>

_emailService.SendWelcomeEmailAsync(user.Id));

This line of code:

Queues the email job

Executes it in the background

Automatically retries if it fails

Logs the event via Serilog

🛠 Supported Job Types

Type and Description:

Fire-and-forget- Runs once, immediately

Delayed- Runs once after a set time (e.g., 10 minutes later)

Recurring- Scheduled jobs using CRON expressions

Continuations- Run only after a parent job finishes successfully

EasyLaunchpad uses all four types in various modules (like payment verification, trial expiration notices, and error logging).

🖥 Job Dashboard for Monitoring

Hangfire includes a web dashboard where you can:

See pending, succeeded, and failed jobs

Retry or delete failed jobs

Monitor job execution time

View exception messages

In EasyLaunchpad, this is securely embedded in your admin panel. Only authorized users with admin access can view and manage jobs.

🔄 Sample Use Case: Weekly Cleanup Job

Need to delete inactive users weekly?

In EasyLaunchpad, just schedule a recurring job:

_recurringJobManager.AddOrUpdate(

“InactiveUserCleanup”,

() => _userService.CleanupInactiveUsersAsync(),

Cron.Weekly

);

Set it and forget it.

🧠 Why This Is a Big Deal for Devs

Most boilerplates don’t include job scheduling at all.

In EasyLaunchpad, Hangfire is not just included — it’s used throughout the platform, meaning:

You can follow working examples

Extend with custom jobs in minutes

Monitor, retry, and log with confidence

You save days of setup time, and more importantly, you avoid production blind spots.

📋 Logging: Meet Serilog

Of course, background jobs are only useful if you know what they’re doing.

That’s where Serilog comes in.

In EasyLaunchpad, every job execution is logged with:

Timestamps

Job names

Input parameters

Exceptions (if any)

Success/failure status

This structured logging ensures you have a full audit trail of what happened — and why.

Sample Log Output

{

“Timestamp”: “2024–07–20T14:22:10Z”,

“Level”: “Information”,

“Message”: “Queued email job: PasswordReset for userId abc123”,

“JobType”: “Background”,

“Status”: “Success”

}

You can send logs to:

Console (for dev)

File (for basic prod usage)

External log aggregators like Seq, Elasticsearch, or Datadog

All of this is built into EasyLaunchpad’s logging layer.

🧩 How Hangfire and Serilog Work Together

Here’s a quick visual breakdown:

Job Triggered → Queued via Hangfire

Job Executed → Email sent, cleanup run, webhook processed

Job Outcome Logged → Success or error captured by Serilog

Job Visible in Dashboard → Retry if needed

Notifications Sent (optional) → Alert team or log activity via admin panel

This tight integration ensures your background logic is reliable, observable, and actionable.

💼 Real-World Use Cases You Can Build Right Now

-Feature and the Background Job

Welcome Emails- Fire-and-forget

Trial Expiration- Delayed

Subscription Cleanup- Recurring

Payment Webhook Retry- Continuation

Email Digest- Cron-based job

Why Tableau is Essential in Data Science: Transforming Raw Data into Insights

Data science is all about turning raw data into valuable insights. But numbers and statistics alone don’t tell the full story—they need to be visualized to make sense. That’s where Tableau comes in.

Tableau is a powerful tool that helps data scientists, analysts, and businesses see and understand data better. It simplifies complex datasets, making them interactive and easy to interpret. But with so many tools available, why is Tableau a must-have for data science? Let’s explore.

1. The Importance of Data Visualization in Data Science

Imagine you’re working with millions of data points from customer purchases, social media interactions, or financial transactions. Analyzing raw numbers manually would be overwhelming.

That’s why visualization is crucial in data science:

Identifies trends and patterns – Instead of sifting through spreadsheets, you can quickly spot trends in a visual format.

Makes complex data understandable – Graphs, heatmaps, and dashboards simplify the interpretation of large datasets.

Enhances decision-making – Stakeholders can easily grasp insights and make data-driven decisions faster.

Saves time and effort – Instead of writing lengthy reports, an interactive dashboard tells the story in seconds.

Without tools like Tableau, data science would be limited to experts who can code and run statistical models. With Tableau, insights become accessible to everyone—from data scientists to business executives.

2. Why Tableau Stands Out in Data Science

A. User-Friendly and Requires No Coding

One of the biggest advantages of Tableau is its drag-and-drop interface. Unlike Python or R, which require programming skills, Tableau allows users to create visualizations without writing a single line of code.

Track stock market trends as they happen

Monitor website traffic and customer interactions in real time

Detect fraudulent transactions instantly

Instead of waiting for reports to be generated manually, Tableau delivers insights as events unfold.

E. Advanced Analytics Without Complexity

While Tableau is known for its visualizations, it also supports advanced analytics. You can:

Forecast trends based on historical data

Perform clustering and segmentation to identify patterns

Integrate with Python and R for machine learning and predictive modeling

This means data scientists can combine deep analytics with intuitive visualization, making Tableau a versatile tool.

3. How Tableau Helps Data Scientists in Real Life

Tableau has been adopted by the majority of industries to make data science more impactful and accessible. This is applied in the following real-life scenarios:

A. Analytics for Health Care

Tableau is deployed by hospitals and research institutions for the following purposes:

Monitor patient recovery rates and predict outbreaks of diseases

Analyze hospital occupancy and resource allocation

Identify trends in patient demographics and treatment results

B. Finance and Banking

Banks and investment firms rely on Tableau for the following purposes:

✅ Detect fraud by analyzing transaction patterns

✅ Track stock market fluctuations and make informed investment decisions

✅ Assess credit risk and loan performance

C. Marketing and Customer Insights

Companies use Tableau to:

✅ Track customer buying behavior and personalize recommendations

✅ Analyze social media engagement and campaign effectiveness

✅ Optimize ad spend by identifying high-performing channels

D. Retail and Supply Chain Management

Retailers leverage Tableau to:

✅ Forecast product demand and adjust inventory levels

✅ Identify regional sales trends and adjust marketing strategies

✅ Optimize supply chain logistics and reduce delivery delays

These applications show why Tableau is a must-have for data-driven decision-making.

4. Tableau vs. Other Data Visualization Tools

There are many visualization tools available, but Tableau consistently ranks as one of the best. Here’s why:

Tableau vs. Excel – Excel struggles with big data and lacks interactivity; Tableau handles large datasets effortlessly.

Tableau vs. Power BI – Power BI is great for Microsoft users, but Tableau offers more flexibility across different data sources.

Tableau vs. Python (Matplotlib, Seaborn) – Python libraries require coding skills, while Tableau simplifies visualization for all users.

This makes Tableau the go-to tool for both beginners and experienced professionals in data science.

5. Conclusion

Tableau has become an essential tool in data science because it simplifies data visualization, handles large datasets, and integrates seamlessly with various data sources. It enables professionals to analyze, interpret, and present data interactively, making insights accessible to everyone—from data scientists to business leaders.

If you’re looking to build a strong foundation in data science, learning Tableau is a smart career move. Many data science courses now include Tableau as a key skill, as companies increasingly demand professionals who can transform raw data into meaningful insights.

In a world where data is the driving force behind decision-making, Tableau ensures that the insights you uncover are not just accurate—but also clear, impactful, and easy to act upon.

Balancing Security and Performance: Options for Laravel Developers

Introduction

This is the digital age, and all businesses are aware of the necessity to build a state-of-the-art website, one that is high-performing and also secure. A high-performing website will ensure you stand out from your competitors, and at the same time, high security will ensure it can withstand brutal cyberattacks.

However, implementing high-security measures often comes at the cost of performance. Laravel is one of the most popular PHP frameworks for building scalable, high-performing, and secure web applications. Hence, achieving a harmonious balance between security and performance often presents challenges.

This article provides more details about security vs performance for Laravel applications and how to balance it.

Security in Laravel Applications

Laravel comes equipped with a range of security features that allow developers to build applications that can withstand various cyber threats. It is a robust PHP framework designed with security in mind. However, creating secure applications requires a proactive approach. Here are some key features:

Authentication and Authorization: Laravel’s built-in authentication system provides a secure way to manage user logins, registrations, and roles. The framework uses hashed passwords, reducing the risk of password theft.

CSRF Protection: Laravel protects applications from cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks using CSRF tokens. These tokens ensure that unauthorized requests cannot be submitted on behalf of authenticated users.

SQL Injection Prevention: Laravel uses Eloquent ORM and query builder to prevent SQL injection by binding query parameters.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Integrate 2FA for an added layer of security.

Secure File Uploads: File uploads can be exploited to execute malicious scripts. There are several ways to protect the files by restricting upload types using validation rules like mimes or mimetypes. Storing files outside the web root or in secure storage services like Amazon S3 and scanning files for malware before saving them will also improve security.

Secure communication between users and the server by enabling HTTPS. Using SSL/TLS certificates to encrypt data in transit and redirecting HTTP traffic to HTTPS using Laravel’s ForceHttps middleware will boost security. Laravel simplifies the implementation of robust security measures, but vigilance and proactive maintenance are essential.

By combining Laravel’s built-in features with best practices and regular updates, developers can build secure applications that protect user data and ensure system integrity.

Optimizing Laravel Application For Performance

Laravel is a versatile framework that balances functionality and ease of use. It is known for its performance optimization capabilities, making it an excellent choice for developers aiming to build high-speed applications. Key performance aspects include database interactions, caching, and efficient code execution. Here are proven strategies to enhance the speed and efficiency of Laravel applications.

Caching: Caching is a critical feature for performance optimization in Laravel. The framework supports various cache drivers, including file, database, Redis, and Memcached.

Database Optimization: Database queries are often the bottleneck in web application performance. Laravel provides tools to optimize these queries.

Utilize Job Batching: Laravel’s job batching feature allows grouping multiple queue jobs into batches to process related tasks efficiently.

Queue Management: Laravel’s queue system offloads time-consuming tasks, ensuring better response times for users.

Route Caching: Route caching improves application performance by reducing the time taken to load routes.

Minifying Assets: Minification reduces the size of CSS, JavaScript, and other static files, improving page load times.

Database Connection Pooling: For high-traffic applications, use a database connection pool like PGBouncer (PostgreSQL) or MySQL’s connection pool for better connection reuse.

Laravel provides a solid foundation for building applications, but achieving top-notch performance requires fine-tuning. By applying these strategies, you can ensure your Laravel application delivers a fast, seamless experience to users.

Security vs Performance For Laravel

Implementing security measures in a Laravel application is crucial for protecting data, maintaining user trust, and adhering to regulations. However, these measures can sometimes impact performance. Understanding this trade-off helps in balancing security and performance effectively. Here’s a breakdown of how Laravel’s security measures can affect performance and visa-versa.

Security measures that affect performance

Input Validation and Sanitization: Laravel’s robust validation and sanitization ensure that user input is secure and free from malicious code. Validating and sanitizing every request can slightly increase processing time, especially with complex rules or high traffic.

Encryption and Hashing: Laravel provides built-in encryption (based on OpenSSL) and hashing mechanisms (bcrypt, Argon2) for storing sensitive data like passwords. Encryption and hashing are computationally intensive, especially for large datasets or real-time operations. Password hashing (e.g., bcrypt) is deliberately slow to deter brute force attacks.

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) Protection: Laravel automatically generates and verifies CSRF tokens to prevent unauthorized actions.

Performance Impact: Adding CSRF tokens to forms and verifying them for every request incurs minimal processing overhead.

Middleware for Authentication and Authorization: Laravel’s authentication guards and authorization policies enforce secure access controls. Middleware checks add processing steps for each request. In the case of high-traffic applications, this can slightly slow response times.

Secure File Uploads: Validating file types and scanning uploads for security risks adds overhead to file handling processes. Processing large files or using third-party scanning tools can delay response times.

Rate Limiting: Laravel’s Throttle Requests middleware prevents abuse by limiting the number of requests per user/IP. Tracking and validating request counts can introduce slight latency, especially under high traffic.

HTTPS Implementation: Enforcing HTTPS ensures secure communication but introduces a slight overhead due to SSL/TLS handshakes. SSL/TLS encryption can increase latency for each request.

Regular Dependency Updates: Updating Laravel and third-party packages reduces vulnerabilities but might temporarily slow down deployment due to additional testing. Updated libraries might introduce heavier dependencies or new processing logic.

Real-Time Security Monitoring: Tools like Laravel Telescope help monitor security events but may introduce logging overhead. Tracking every request and event can slow the application in real-time scenarios.

Performance optimization that affect security

Caching Sensitive Data:

Performance optimization frequently involves caching data to reduce query times and server load. Storing sensitive data in caches (e.g., session data, API tokens) can expose it to unauthorized access if not encrypted or secured. Shared caches in multi-tenant systems might lead to data leakage.

Reducing Validation and Sanitization:

To improve response times, developers may reduce or skip input validation and sanitization. This can expose applications to injection attacks (SQL, XSS) or allow malicious data to enter the system. Improperly sanitized inputs can lead to broken functionality or exploits.

Disabling CSRF Protection:

Some developers disable Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) protection on high-traffic forms or APIs to reduce processing overhead. Without CSRF protection, attackers can execute unauthorized actions on behalf of authenticated users.

Using Raw Queries for Faster Database Access:

Raw SQL queries are often used for performance but bypass Laravel’s ORM protections. Raw queries can expose applications to SQL Injection attacks if inputs are not sanitized.

Skipping Middleware:

Performance optimization may involve bypassing or removing middleware, such as authentication or Rate limiting, to speed up request processing. Removing middleware can expose routes to unauthorized users or brute force attacks.

Disabling Logging:

To save disk space or reduce I/O operations, developers may disable or minimize logging. Critical security events (e.g., failed login attempts and unauthorized access) may go unnoticed, delaying response to breaches.

Implementing Aggressive Rate Limiting:

While Rate limiting is crucial for preventing abuse, overly aggressive limits might unintentionally turn off security mechanisms like CAPTCHA or block legitimate users. Attackers may exploit misconfigured limits to lock out users or bypass checks.

Over-Exposing APIs for Speed:

In a bid to optimize API response times, developers may expose excessive data or simplify access controls. Exposed sensitive fields in API responses can aid attackers. Insufficient access control can allow unauthorized access.

Using Outdated Libraries for Compatibility:

To avoid breaking changes and reduce the effort of updates, developers may stick to outdated Laravel versions or third-party packages. Older versions may contain known vulnerabilities. For faster encryption and decryption, developers might use less secure algorithms or lower encryption rounds. Weak encryption can be cracked more quickly, exposing sensitive data.

Tips To Balance Security and Performance

There are several options available to balance security and performance while developing a Laravel application. It is essential to strike a balance and develop a robust solution that is not vulnerable to hackers. Seek the help from the professionals, and hire Laravel developers from Acquaint Softttech who are experts at implementing a combination of strategies to obtain the perfect balance.

Layered Security Measures:

Instead of relying solely on one security layer, combine multiple measures:

Use middleware for authentication and authorization.

Apply encryption for sensitive data.

Implement Rate limiting to prevent brute force attacks.

Optimize Middleware Usage:

Middleware in Laravel is a powerful tool for enforcing security without affecting performance excessively. Prioritize middleware execution:

Use route-specific middleware instead of global middleware when possible.

Optimize middleware logic to minimize resource consumption.

Intelligent Caching Strategies:

Cache only what is necessary to avoid stale data issues:

Implement cache invalidation policies to ensure updated data.

Use tags to manage grouped cache items effectively.

Regular Vulnerability Testing:

Conduct penetration testing and code reviews to identify vulnerabilities. Use tools like:

Laravel Debugbar for performance profiling.

OWASP ZAP for security testing.

Enable Logging and Monitoring:

Laravel’s logging capabilities provide insights into application performance and potential security threats:

Use Monolog to capture and analyze logs.

Monitor logs for unusual activity that may indicate an attack.

Implement Rate Limiting:

Laravel’s Rate limiting protects APIs from abuse while maintaining performance:

Use ThrottleRequests middleware to limit requests based on IP or user ID.

Adjust limits based on application needs.

Leverage API Gateway:

An API gateway can act as a security and performance intermediary:

Handle authentication, authorization, and Rate limiting at the gateway level.

Cache responses to reduce server load.

Use Load Balancing and Scaling:

Distribute traffic across multiple servers to enhance both security and performance:

Implement load balancers with SSL termination for secure connections.

Use horizontal scaling to handle increased traffic.

Employ CDN for Static Content:

Offload static resources to a content delivery network:

Reduce server load by serving images, CSS, and JavaScript via CDN.

Enhance security with HTTPS encryption on CDN.

Harden Server Configuration:

Ensure server security without sacrificing performance:

Use firewalls and intrusion detection systems.

Optimize PHP and database server configurations for maximum efficiency.
