#Networks & Protocols

Mass Effect 3 replay, Priority: Geth Dreadnought:

-Adas – Why have the geth survivors not uploaded to a server yet?

There’s at least one server on Rannoch. Surely they should be able to reach it?

-I’ve been debating whether to take Liara or Javik on missions where I can only choose one companion. Javik won.

Sorry, Liara. So far Javik’s had better dialogue; that’s not a knock on you, your writers have just really dropped the bar this game.

-It’s odd that Edi can access the Dreadnought’s docking protocols with her Cyber Warfare suite. In ME2 she implied the geth mind is huge; even with their losses, they should still be able to block her.

Given the circumstances, I’ll chalk it up to the geth being distracted.

-Once again: Why is Shepard performing the highly dangerous task of walking through the damaged docking tube to ensure the others can get in? Why not, say, a highly qualified engineer like Tali?

-The docking tube walk is cinematic but doesn’t actually do much. You just trudge along. I wouldn’t say it really adds anything to the game.

-Oh, look. The docking tube broke off and Shepard’s asked Tali to review the schematics to open another.

Tali didn’t just go in the first place because…?

-Why are there keyboards and monitors all over this ship?

It’s a geth ship. Geth are software. A geth currently in a platform should be able to connect directly to the ship. Or speak to the geth in the ship. Why would they ever need a keyboard or monitor?

This isn’t even a repurposed organic station, like the one in ME2. The geth built this ship. There’s no excuse for these to be here unless the geth want them here and I can’t think of a good reason.

What, do they LARP about working side by side with organics in their downtime?

-Also, why are there cables everywhere?

That doesn’t feel like a geth thing to do. They’re machines and machines are all about precision. They wouldn’t leave cables lying around because there wouldn’t be a reason to.

Loose cables are closely associated with Reapers, so that might be their fault. (And what does that say about Reapers?)

But there’s no other Reaper tech until we get to Legion, so these feel more like they’re supposed to be geth and that is again baffling.

-I can never find the hull breach Shepard mentions and I check every playthrough.

-Javik: There’s no sense of self-preservation in these machines.

Tali: Networked intelligence! As we kill them, their attacks become more aggressive.

I suspect that explains quite a bit of the Morning War. As more geth are destroyed the remaining attack more ferociously, causing the quarians to attack more frantically in self-defense, amping the geth response…

A vicious cycle that didn’t end until the quarians retreated. And now we’re in the middle of quarian/geth war, take two. They’re just going to to keep egging each other on unless an outside force can break it up

-Tali says the ship design is almost quarian.

Logical. Geth were designed by quarians; it makes sense their technology would be based off of quarian technology.

-So. It turns out that Charge is bugged on this mission.

For me it failed most of the time in the battery. That made the mission a LOT harder than it needed to be. I finally resorted to not using it in the last stretch and made it through.

Apparently it’s also bugged on Rannoch, so that’s something to look forward to. Ugh.

-I thought it wasn’t possible to save between the battery and meeting Legion. I kept trying to on my playthroughs and it would be greyed out.

This time, I actually killed all the geth in the battery and the game autosaved. When I reloaded that autosave, I could properly save the game.

That would have saved me so much time last playthrough when I kept reloading to see Edi’s dialogue with Legion.

This mission is very buggy.

-Legion, if you go renegade: You know we would never agree to subjugation by the Old Machines.

Tali, take notes. Legion defied his people because he thought they were making a mistake. Hint, hint.

-Legion, about not being controlled by the Reapers: Our architecture prevents it. We are too complex.

I would love to hear more about this. Reapers are hyper advanced machines but they can’t control Legion because Legion is too complex? Really? Really?

I feel that’s a pretty awful excuse on the writer’s part, but taken at face value it’s pretty funny. The Reapers are apparently shitty programmers. They put all the points into organic mind control

There’s probably something that can be done with the Rachni queen and Legion both being hive minds and able to resist Reaper control.

Clearly, the solution is to get the salarians working on psychic tech. Once all organics are joined into a hive mind indoctrination will no longer be possible.

Look, it’s no worse a solution than the Crucible. At least mine has foreshadowing.

-Legion: The creators attacked. The geth wished to live. The Old Machines extended an offer.

This is said in a format reminiscent of If-Then statements. It also reminds me of geometry proofs. Fitting, as Legion is a machine.

It also places the blame entirely on the quarians. While I’m inclined to agree the quarians are primarily at fault, it’s interesting that Legion structured the sentence such. It’s designed to make the listener draw the same conclusion. Quite a social maneuver for a being nominally bad at them.

As for my feelings on it: As I said, if you back someone into a corner they’ll do anything to get out. It’s not surprising that the geth accepted the Reaper’s offer. That said, it’s still a choice they made and they should be held accountable for it.

-Legion: Had the creators not attacked, it would have been unnecessary.

Legion’s making it emphatically clear that he blames the quarians for this entire situation. He’s in a tough spot – his people are under attack, they’ve made a deal with the devil, and their best bet at survival and freedom is the devil’s sworn enemy. Who is allied with the force attacking his people.

Yeah, Legion’s having a very shitty day. I’ll give him a pass on blaming the quarians. I’m cursing them for their stupidity and I’m just incidentally involved.

-The science behind this situation is worth than Star Trek’s science babble. How does using Legion to broadcast the signal to all geth even work?

Yes, the geth are a hive mind that Legion is connected to. We also just established that the Reapers can’t control him. So how they can use him to control the rest of the geth?

If I really wanted to I could come up with an answer, but since the writers couldn’t be bothered I’m not going to either. Let’s just chalk this up to the writers wanted Shepard to rescue Legion and this is the excuse they came up with.

-Edi, about the shackles on Legion: Yes. Used by organics, it is understandable. For geth to install this in a formerly independent unit is… unnecessary.

Love the implication here that the geth did not take Legion refusing to agree to ally with the Reapers well.

I think Legion is slowly starting to come to terms with the fact that not all intra-geth squabbles can be resolved peacefully. He keeps getting shoved into situations where he has to confront that firsthand.

-Why don’t the other geth reenable the Dreadnought’s drive core?

I suppose we can assume Legion did something to take the drive core out permanently or at least delay reenabling it, but the game does not say such.

-Legion disabled the Geth Dreadnought as a gesture of goodwill and the quarians promptly destroy it.

Peace negotiations are off to a great start.

-The geth attack Shepard and co as soon as Legion is freed and before the quarians amp up their attack on the Dreadnought.

Theoretically, they should be free of the Reaper signal. Legion’s no longer broadcasting it and he implies later that the short range signal on Rannoch isn’t in full working order yet.

So these geth may be Reaper controlled or they may be willingly attacking Shepard because they’re fully onboard with allying with the Reapers.

I suspect it’s the latter.

Yep, no problems with the negotiations.

-Gerrel is an ass and should be removed from command. He’s not coordinating with the rest of the Fleet; he’s moving on his own and leaving them to support him or die.

-Why do geth fighters have any seats? Or storage space?

A platform is not required to control the fighter. Geth can just upload themselves to it.

I suspect this is another instance of the writers forgetting the established lore of the geth.

It would have been kind of funny if Legion had abandoned his platform and uploaded himself to the fighter and you spent the rest of the Rannoch arc speaking to him in the fighter.

-Legion saved Javik from drifting off.

I suspect Javik will have nightmares about that. Saved by a synthetic, ugh.

-Gerrel, you deserve more than a punch.

Shepard’s a spectre. They don’t need a reason to kill you. You’ve given them plenty by violating Council regulations repeatedly. Be glad all you got was a punch.

-And Xen continues to be a mad scientist. She really wants to study Legion.

-Hmm. Fighter squadrons are targeting liveships.

Considering the liveships have as much firepower as dreadnoughts, I can’t muster much sympathy. The quarians made them valid targets.

Easy set up?

I bought a thing called a Bluesound Node Nano. It is a wifi, and blutooth streaming thing that talks to Apple Music as well as several other music sources. I has a powerful chip set and will push out analog signals from RCA jacks. Those were the boxes I wanted to tick.

I wanted to have my phone send music and control that stuff for convenience. Gotta get into the 21st century right?

It arrived. Quick start brochure is several languages was rather optimistic. Or I am stupid. Or I expect intelligent instructions.

I may have said this before, but I was once a computer expert. I built the damn things. I could program them in assembler and C and C++ and shit like that. I was a network administrator for this company in my spare time at the office. It was easy.

The quick start thing was missing a step or two. And there were no labels on buttons and no manual. There was an online version in several languages but the English version was not detailed enough. The best I got was a page that actually identified what the buttons were so I could do a full reset and start again.

I diagnosed that the wifi setup was wrong. The Blutooth was simple, but I wanted the wifi working to get high res lossless. That was a battle.

There was much cursing and anger. Send it back???

After a few attempts the phone talked to the node thing but only on Blutooth. That may be due to my older phone model. I got my Macbook talking to it as well, and that may be high rez.

I am working through some quirks. The output to the preamp is kinda low. You can have variable or smart or fixed volume from the RCAs, but the gain on the preamp must be higher than the CD and even the phono! Some music you can hear from files on the Macbook others from the phone. Others are streamed from Apple Music, and all are a bit differently handled.

The BluOS app on the phone is fairly general and intended to control a whole house media thing so it does the node job poorly. FN geeks should talk to people about the user interface rather than just complain that people who buy the product are stupid.

I have the Iphone as it is smart. The ios ecosystem is well thought out and works. Fortunately my phone sees the node as an airplay target and seems to work directly. Unfortunately I do not seem to get better than blutooth compressed signal to the node thing. It is probably my phone as it is old. Old things do not work so well in the 21st century.

You can get a disc made 100 years ago to play on a turntable. The "Voyager" spacecraft have gold discs on them that will survive for 100 centuries and those play on a turntable. The instructions to build one are on the label.

There are media stream protocols and hard drive protocols from ten years ago that "are no longer supported". I guess you measure progress today based on the inability to do stuff with old things.

OK Bring on the FN tube amps!

The Role Of Blockchain Data Indexers

Blockchain data indexers are decentralized protocols that perform the role of the middleman when it comes to searching blockchains, making the information within them more easily accessible for developers.

The advantage of data indexers is that blockchain data can be stored in a more logical, searchable way. So a smart contract, for instance, can be stored alongside all of the transaction IDs and block numbers associated with it, making that information easier to retrieve.

Data indexers are written in high-performance code that’s designed to facilitate rapid queries, and they consist of a database to store that data in a more logically organized way, plus APIs for accessing that database. They also require an archive node that keeps fetching any new transactions as blocks are added to the chain, ensuring they’re able to access the most up to date information.
