No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How does a game server differentiate between multiple clients on the same network? Do they even?
9·18 hours agoThere’s two ports involved, the client port and the server port. Multiple clients with different client ports and the same ip can connect to the same server port, but they can’t reuse the same client side port. (if necessary routers can remap this on the fly and change the client port as it leaves the network, keeping a list in its “connection tracking” table)
The client port is usually randomly chosen by the OS networking stack, between 1024-65535.
They’re loud, aggressive, nasty birds that invade your space to build their homes unless you constantly chase them out. (during mating season at least) Also they shit all over the place.
Naming them after him is almost appropriate.

Yep you’re well within your right to do a chargeback and I’d probably have to eat the loss, but I’m not willing to ship a replacement in that case either. The insurance would ensure you get the product at the end.

22·8 days agoIn which case that’s bundled into the shipping cost, so you’re paying it either way at the end of the day. I could just not offer and pad the shipping rates, but opted to give my customers the choice. So far I haven’t had anyone who opted out, lose a package. Those likely to lose them, know already that their local ups is sus.

62·8 days agoGiven the small fee in ops screenshot, most likely. We don’t know who their shipper is.
My understanding is trying to get reimbursed by ups is also a time consuming headache. They make you wait a while, need evidence, etc etc etc. I can just ship a replacement right away and as long as the original package stays lost, I don’t have to worry about not being reimbursed.
Also ups sucks so much I’d rather give that insurance money to someone other than them. I don’t understand how ups can lose packages that are being held at a store for pickup, unless their employees steal them.
