New (and some older, previously unmentioned) things:

• Enforce league bans for cheating (EU + NA).
  
• Now storing the zip with logs and demos for longer. We've set up a large backup server to store the zips older than the usual cutoff time of 28 days. See it in action.
  
• Taken the old KroketBrigade machine out of the datacenter. A combination of its age, recent price hikes and the abundance of NL servers made it unnecessary to keep around.
  
• Improved autocomplete for web RCON and added keyboard navigation
  
• Improved payment integration, specifically for those with 2-factor (e.g. 3DSecure) on their credit cards.
  
• Added map search function calling for the AI to find any available map, with preference for league maps
  
• Added rcon search function calling for the AI to find relevant commands and server settings, also prevent AI from executing hallucinated commands
  
• Added reservation control function calling for the AI, to extend or end the reservation
  
• Let the AI know about previous questions and responses in the current reservation so you can have better interactions.
  
• Upgraded the AI model so it can do very useful stuff like "!ai rename everyone to names of legendary soccer players". It will still fail if you ask it to do impossible things like modify the specific items on the whitelist on the fly, or giving you a valve rocket launcher.

To keep serveme.tf relevant for the next 20 years, we've fully given into the vibes, embraced exponentials and kinda forgot the code even exists (or that the build fails).

Introducing serveme AI, available now and everywhere for the person that made the reservation, just type !ai and what you need in chat and we'll help you manage your game.

Do you mean ESL and their Aequitas / Wire anticheat? I don't think you can force client-side screenshots with just a server-side TF2 plugin.

Oh no, not again

Banned, thanks

I suggest going for something boring, old and reasonably user friendly instead, e.g. Ubuntu. Most of these new ones are Ubuntu with extra steps.

Has been around for ages, will be around for ages, loads of people use it which makes troubleshooting and googling easier.

Shut up Brock

It already had permissions to "offi.lemontea.dev", "offi-stg" might mean staging or storage. It doesn't seem to be used in the source code yet though.

Firefox requires you to list the hosts you'll be making calls to in the permissions section of the extension manifest.

We switched domain registrars and that will have messed with DNS and SSL certificates a little bit today. (It's always DNS)

Should be back to normal by now for all our domains.

There was a security issue in the Steam open id system, allowing you to log in as anyone you'd like. It seems Steam has gotten more strict about what parameters it accepts when you try to login from another website.
Logs.tf will have to make their sign in steps compliant with what Steam now requires.

That plugin has its own backend that caches the results.

You have 150 ping to the older one (CHI4). The new one is confusingly called CHI1.

In a strong field, pay-to-hide-your-cheating-ban is one of your worst ideas.

Some updates since last time.

• Added server side anti-cheat to all servers. Select AC admins have access to the logs of this tool for their investigations.
  
• For EU and NA servers, when an ETF2L or RGL banned player joins a server, this triggers a message with their ban reason.
  
• Reshuffle of NA servers. Getting rid of 20 Kansas servers and the 6 Chicago/Obama servers since that machine was starting to die and overheat. Replacing those with 30 Chicago based servers instead on a fancy dual 10-core server.

It's an issue with the "GAME" anti-DDoS on OVH hosted machines. For EU serveme.tf that means ElzasBrigade and MonikaBrigade, and for au.serveme.tf all the ozfortress bookables.
Because it's been rather quiet on the DDoS front this year, I wouldn't be against disabling it for a while. This wouldn't disable all anti-DDoS measures, just some stuff that tries to ensure any traffic on the servers is related to TF2.

Couldn't you just host it on your LAN ip?

What does the server console log look like?
