Move unresponsive server to the bottom of the list

[JojoFR1]

Those servers have been unresponsive for a while now and the current version of CLaJ client is severely limited by having one pinger and a huge timeout of 5000ms. It adds an overhead of 15 seconds to load the bottom list server which have a big impact on the brand new server.

You should consider removing them if the unresponsiveness continues.

UK Eradication is also not responding but it is quite recent so it was not moved.

@TheRadioactiveBanana mmmmm, have you an explanation why? Or it's just because the nodes are too far away?

Crossing the Atlantic Ocean takes about 100ms one way. I don't know how much it should take to go to the Asian continent but my intuition tells me it should be the same. Going to the UK from Europe shouldn't take a long time; it's physically way closer to Europe.

Anyway, I have tried reaching the nodes Jojo wishes to put to the bottom of the list.

• Mindustry.ltd China ("p2.mindustry.ltd:35850"), connection refused, can't ping¹
• Eradication India ("in3.eradication.fun:8025"), connection refused, responds to ping
• Eradication RU ("ru1.eradication.fun:8025"), connection refused, can't ping

Granted these results come from only one point in the world, it would be interesting to use the RIPE Atlas probes to check if there are issues reaching the listed nodes globally or not.

That said, in my opinion, what Jojo explained (the 15sec overhead because of a 5s timeout, one [sequential ?] reachability checker) still stands.

1: If the Great Firewall prevents ICMP from crossing it, that explains things.

last time it worked, the ping was around 1 to 2 sec for me.

I will look into it

@ZetaMap can you verify that they are all responsive now? This should be resolved. Also, maybe make the claj pinger better so it doesnt halt when servers go down, and sort list by ping.

I can confirm they are responsive in the selection screen. Those features should be coming in the next version (according to his words), we already talked about this with ZetaMap on Discord.

I reverted the Eradication server moves, only the China server is moved down.
