This is not gonna happen. They’re an extension of Falun Gong, who runs the Epoch Media Group which pushes the Epoch Times, a far-right paper in the US which worked very hard to curry favor with Trump, meaning you are immune to regulation or prosecution.

You know, I like the way this is going. The last 2 republican disasters that democrats had to dig us out of (the 2007 financial collapse when I entered the workforce, and the 2020 covid pandemic when my kids were entering school) really had long slow dramatic burns which were unpleasant gradual declines. If he makes it bad enough fast enough, the reaction will be nice an swift so we can begin formulating a rebuilding plan earlier, even if that plan has to look like settlement building in fallout 4.

Man pushing the narrative that Trump sent the military into a liberal state to fix things with positive results is surely not a precursor to anything sinister…

This seems like an insane idea, cosmic radiation causes so many measurable impacts even on earth with things like bit flips, this would be a huge issue in space with no magnetic field and atmosphere. I would think this would focus on low density slower speed chips, and likely avoid anything with flash storage.

Seems like it still in development, they have improvements in mind to reduce unnecessary system calls, and at this time you would only run these patches if memory safety was ago critical you didn’t care about IO performance, which is niche.

Anything that gets us closer to mattercast. If we can have one interop standard to be able to cast to devices, whether it be a kodi box running the casting server, a smart speaker running Home Assistant’s voice, or a google/amazon device, one open standard to rule them all is the world we need to get to.

I know everyone likes tmux but screen is phenomenal. I have a .screenrc I deploy everywhere with a statusbar at the bottom, a set number of pre-defined tabs, and logging to a directory (which is cleaned up after 30 days) so I can go back and figure out what I did. Great tool.

I don’t think the impacts of this are being fully realized yet…like the stores here (Sacramento) are low on eggs, the zoos have taken the birds off exhibit, and I live next to a large wildlife preserve that’s a huge bird migration path and they just like haven’t been there this year. Those giant starling clouds were an annual thing for a week or so and they just didn’t happen this year. It really feels like there’s a LOT less small birds; the big herons and stuff are still visible, but like walking the preserve is noticeably quieter.

I think the current dev cycle is harming hype for the game. The way snapshots work, there’s no surprises in the updates anymore, and like big creators do whole series in the snapshots before they even come out. There is a community issue of going into an update with it feeling “solved” unless you just blanket avoid update videos. Like when we get it on our server, I’m gonna speedrun get 2 pale logs, 1 sapling, and a creaking heart, get them into an ender chest, and the farm I think will work best is essentially already designed. There’s small hype as snapshots roll out but on the big day…few people play the new release (because like Doc said in his video today… everyone waits for mods) and most people have already experienced most of it via snapshot streamers. It feels like this dev cadence is destroying any hype for releases, and by making more releases, it’s putting strain on volunteers.

I don’t know a fix; the snapshot system is a great feedback mechanism but by putting the game out there nearly in full it removes hype. Also, the snapshots should give mod developers time to build, but it isn’t panning out that way. Like Bundles and armadillos weren’t gonna get more players to play/come back to the game, and the people already playing that use mods didn’t upgrade to it. There’s a very narrow subset of people who that update benefitted, but for a lot of volunteer devs it put a ton of work on their plates.

I think one major thing they could do is limit datapack and resourcepack revisions to 1.x releases, and not 1.x.y releases. As they put more functionality in datapacks to replace mods (for example, we’re done with LambDynamicLights over a datapack) the fact that there are 4 major pack versions in the 1.20.x cycle and 3 in the 1.21.x cycle is nuts. I think all pack format changes (that are not bug fix) should be held behind experimental. I also think the actual feature release that impacts tags and resource packs (like new mobs and items) really should be in 1.x releases.

I would prefer

1. Major changes to be locked to major 1.x version updates and limited to 2x/year
2. Datapack and resource pack changes to be locked to the 1.x cycle
3. Things in drops should be locked to experimental even if feature complete until the next 1.x
4. 1.x.y should be non DP/RP changing updates (mechanic refinement for example like the minecart change or changing loot tables) and anything outside of that should be experimental toggle
5. Minecraft should at a minimum refine the datapack format to enable storing variables in a format other than the scoreboard, and to support custom block and entity models, as it allows the replacement of a lot of mod functions with datapacks, and datapacks have a lower bar to entry to maintain and develop (they require no compilation).

Cool, but at the same time it’s so frustrating that we just got our server’s mods complete for 1.21.3. We lose so many people because they wanna play on the new stuff and this cadence makes keeping up so much harder.

It’s probably more than you are looking for but if you are already looking at self hosting things connected with NextCloud, use NextCloud Talk. We use it for the family and it is great.

There were a lot of SpongeBob and Patrick interpretations, the inflatable costumes were huge

This may not be exactly what you want, but I use Apache guacamole for this. The client becomes a web browser, and a chromium based browser allows seamless bidirectional clipboard. I use Ubuntu VMs with Mate as the DM and with a few keybinds tweaked it is solid. I use tightVNC as my server which supports dynamic resize, and the soon to be released guacamole 1.6 supports sending dynamic resize (since the underlying libraries are now updated to support it; RDP in guac already supports dynamic resize). How performant is it? I have a single proxmox vm which runs 3 Minecraft instances for our server’s 3 bot accounts (which just stand still) and the desktop is still navigable.

All you have to do is name tag them and they won’t dig into the ground!

This would make a terrible farm, ultimately the warden just stares at them a lot and half the time they despawn. They also don’t spawn too often, but that’s because this is a zoo with trapped hostile mobs all over and I think it impacts the rates. I also spammed sensors and shriekers to try to make him angrier faster, but it didn’t really help. That being said, you just make a plus farm under them with a cat in the middle; they get scared and run into a bubble column which pushes them into a pool where they can be seen by the warden, but not close enough to hurt him if they explode.

This is for a zoo, so the idea is that viewers can see the warden but not get blasted by him, and can get blindness by going up on the observation platform. Occasionally, like the goat in Jurassic Park, it acts like a predator, but just like in the movie, it’s disappointing a lot of the time lol.

I’m super happy and excited for GIMP 3.0. I hate that this info was presented in a youtube video. I can gleam what I want to know from an article with bullet points (which I could find) but I’m sick of half the information I search for being returned in a video, with a fixed time commitment and imprecise “scrolling” to skip. I feel like in search and link aggregators, more and more content is video instead of text and I’m not here for it.

I totally agree…the best solution for the specific problem. “Cloud” was the buzzword solution to every problem for a few years and it wasn’t great in a lot of cases. High I/O home grown apps to be used from a single campus don’t need to be in the cloud. Bulk archive storage doesn’t need to be in the cloud, things like lecture recordings from 10+ years.
