Weekly FGO vol. 5

Finally after almost a year

FGO JP

Nothing much apart of occasional hunting quests. New event is coming in 18-ish hours though so there’s that.

Free archer servant this time. I have about 110 exp cards for archer which, with enough luck, should be enough for maxing her level.

I don’t think I’ll have enough tickets for 10 rolls this time so I won’t be rolling anything this time around. Maybe next time though I think there won’t be any more events until next year? Considering it’ll be a release of new chapter mid next month and I don’t really want to roll on non-events.

The box content seem pretty useful as I’m currently running low on some of them. I only have 26 gold apples though so that kind of sucks.

FGO NA

Half AP grinding quests are still going so I’ve been doing that. It’s quite useful as I’m currently really lacking exp cards. I’ve final ascended Saber Alter, leveled up Saber Alter Summer, and grailed Kiyohime up to level 96. Just 4 more levels to 100.

Next coming events should be just Salem release and then followed by Altera Santa event.

Which reminded me I need 200 more archer exp cards here to max Altera. She’s a pretty good single target archer though I don’t really like her design and dialogue lines much.

Weekly FGO Vol. 4

FGO JP

I spent a bit more SQ and still ended up with 0 Skadi. Oh well.

And then I rushed through lostbelt 4. And still got no Skadi. At least now I’ve cleared the main quests. Needed to use Merlin for first Arjuna fight after trying for over 3 hours with just low rarity and Karna support.

There are still Shimousa and Salem remaining though. I’m kind of rushing it but not really.

FGO NA

Finished event quests including the thankfully easy challenge quest.

Still need to farm a lot of cakes though.

Pickup Okita coming this Friday. That will be exciting. I just hope I can pull at least one. I have 186 rolls available at the moment which I hope will be enough? I need at least twice that to be on safe side but that’s all I managed to save so far after the initial spending. I’ll find out in few days…

FGO JP – Skadi banner

136 pulls and 0 Skadi in sight. Not even any ☆5 servants. I did get 4 ☆4s – Nursery Rhyme, Heracles, Vlad lancer, and Fionn.

My current overall stats on 1503 pulls:

TypeRarityTotalPercentage (difference to base)
Servant☆5161.06% (+0.06%)
Servant☆4402.66% (-0.34%)
Servant☆365443.51% (+3.51%)
CE☆5593.93% (-0.07%)
CE☆424316.17% (+4.17%)
CE☆349132.67% (-7.33%)

The numbers seem quite different to the promised rate…

Update: I missed some single pulls whoops. I guess it’ll be a while until I get another ☆5 servants…

Update 2019-11-23: I missed two GSSR not excluded correctly so the actual number is a bit worse than the table above indicates.

FGO JP – Prison Tower cleared

Finally finished this after unlocking it weeks ago. Most of the quests are relatively easy without needing any higher rarity servants. The only exception is the last one which apparently is doable with double Mash and Euryale but I had problem making it work with the closest one being Euryale, Mash, and Andersen. Except Andersen died pretty early and replaced by backup Merlin and the screenshot above is the end result (Merlin died one or two turns before).

Music CD – Melty Blood OST – Promised Dawn

A rather old sound track CDs. It’s Melty Blood. It’s got Sion for the cover. And Arcueid. Good stuff.

I already have rip of it in some form but the first track sounded a bit weird and it’s only 192kbps mp3. Found it cheap in Suruga-ya so I grabbed one to find out myself.

Well the result is it sounded mostly the same. At least I finally legally have this one now. Only took a few years.

Weekly FGO Vol. 3

Oops I forgot about this one.

JP

As per screenshot above, I got another copy of MHXA. Nice, considering I only spent 26 tickets for her. Didn’t get anything else interesting though.

Finished all the challenge quests and stuff. It’s kind of annoying the real challenge quest is a one time quest. Even more annoying I cleared with some stupid team (Bunnytoria and Ishtar and Merlin). I’ll try some lower rarity clear next year if I still play this game by then.

The event is ending soon but no announcement so far. It should be rerun of Christmas 2018. We haven’t gotten our free ☆4 servant and the accompanying campaign either.

I also heard weird rumor like Saber Wars 3 instead of Christmas 2019. That would be weird…?

The announcement should come sometime this week… Maybe.

NA

8M download campaign thingy is ongoing. I’m not pulling though as I’m not much into gramps.

Jailter has started as well and I’ve played it once before it’ll be skipfest and rushing whatever I can rush.

I didn’t manage to gather enough exp card to level Jailter to 80. Not even 70 at just ~100 total. 2x super/great success rate is still ongoing which should help though. Also there will be 300 additional exp cards which after subtracting for Mash and Mech Eli I should still have at least 85 left so it could be enough if I’m lucky enough, I guess?

Oh well, farming time!

DKIM signing with OpenSMTPD and dkimproxy

After a long wait of OpenSMTPD 6.6 and its accompanying rspamd filter, I finally sent my mails DKIM-signed. Along the way I also discovered rspamd does a bit too much for my need and learned that it’s way simpler to use dkimproxy instead.

Outline of the steps required as follow:

  • Install OpenSMTPD
  • Install dkimproxy
  • Create signing keys
  • Decide “selector” name
  • Add relevant DKIM entry to all relevant domains
  • Setup dkimproxy to sign stuff
  • Setup OpenSMTPD to relay to dkimproxy before finally sending the message
  • Test
  • Done

Signing keys are created by:

openssl genrsa -out /etc/mail/dkim/selector1.key 1024

Followed by creating the public key for DNS entry:

openssl rsa -in /etc/mail/dkim/selecto1.key -pubout -out /etc/mail/dkim/selector1.pub

Don’t forget to fix private key permission to 400 owned by whatever user running dkimproxy.

The dkimproxy setting is pretty simple:

listen 127.0.0.1:10027
relay 127.0.0.1:10028
domain domain1.com,domain2.net
signature dkim(c=relaxed)
signature domainkeys(c=nofws)
keyfile /etc/mail/dkim/selector1.key
selector selector1

It’s pretty straightforward.

And equally straightforward the settings for OpenSMTPD:

table aliases file:/etc/mail/aliases

listen on lo0
listen on lo0 port 10028 tag DKIM

action "local" mbox alias <aliases>
action "relay_dkim" relay host smtp://127.0.0.1:10027
action "outbound" relay

match tag DKIM for any action "outbound"
match for local action "local"
match for any action "relay_dkim"

First line sets the aliases.

Followed by a listener on localhost because this is just an example for sending-only server.

The listener on port 10028 is to accept the signed mail by DKIM to be finally sent.

local action sending mails to mbox for local user.

relay_dkim action will send mails to dkimproxy which will sign the email…

And relayed to 10028, accepted by smtpd, tagged DKIM and thus will be finally sent to where it should be. I learned the hard way it needs to come first because mails will be acted on first match.

Local for local. Don’t bother doing anything.

And finally the rest will be relayed to dkimproxy. As mentioned above, this must come after the outbound action for DKIM tagged mails.

If you want to run proper mail server with rspamd and stuff, read this instead. That article was also the reason I started looking into all this DKIM stuff.

Psycho Pass S3 ep. 2

I haven’t written episodic post since forever. Not like this one will be any better than the last time anyway lol.

I guess it’s a good thing I watched the SS. It’s not that important so far apart of just introducing some of the new faces and explains how Kogami returned to Japan. Interesting, but not really necessary so far, I think.

More Akane screen time yay. I guess this season will end with the end of Sibyl System?

Weekly FGO Vol. 2

“But it’s not even a week since the last one”

I’ll do this whenever I feel like to =)

Anyway,

JP

Saber Wars 2 has started. 10 tickets were spent. Two SR event CEs were obtained. And then the rest of the pulls were crap. Oh well at least I got some event CEs although an SSR would be nice.

If the mission counter is to be believed, I’m about 3/4 way to the end. I haven’t checked any guides or spoilers yet so I don’t know if it’s way longer than I thought or if there will be another set of missions. Considering the duration it’s probably not going to happen though.

I cleared Eli challenge quest with help of one command spell. I probably should’ve waited until I got all the damage booster CEs especially considering it’s not repeatable. But I didn’t. It’s not that difficult, just rather annoying. Also I probably should level Spartacus a bit more. Except I don’t have enough grails. Yay.

There are still quite a lot of store items to be purchased and a bit more missions to be cleared. And challenge quest. It’ll be kind of annoying with all CE slots potentially taken up by event CE.

NA

I haven’t finished the Babylonia campaign quests yet. The item drop ones. Maybe once I finish the last bit of monuments from event store.

Next event will be Jailter. That’ll be fun. I sure can use a good area NP lancer.

It kinda sucks Okita pick up isn’t happening and the next pickup will be May next year. That sounds like a long time without Okita. On the brighter side, it’ll also give me ample time to save some quartzes and tickets.
