@kirby probably @graf or @hj think they had a few source game servers hosted, can't be sure which and if they are still upbut also, a cs 1.6 server is a docker one liner, run it yourself

@i @graf @hj Hosting one is one thing, having an active community is another thing entirely. I guess I could muddle through the Russian spam servers on the master list to find a good server but I'd.. really really prefer not to.

@hj @kirby @i @graf Did they fix the issue with the hackers/source code leak? Last I saw hackers were spoofing accounts and installing root kits on people's computers.

@mitchconner @i @graf @hj You shouldn't be blindly trusting the automata Mitch.. just like a crackhead they can hallucinate stuff at any random moment. I like double checking any tips I get from it if I need any from the machine.

@kirby @i @graf @hj I don't disagree on principle I just think your level of caution is preventing fun. If you're that worried just put it in Sandboxie or something
