I'm not enjoying this episode of Black Mirror.

tulip palm
#

i remember watching black mirror in my english lessons last year

#

was good fun

rough sapphire
#

That's an interesting place to watch BM

vestal briar
#

I need to take a day to recover from black mirror

rough sapphire
#

whenever you feel like you’re falling in a dream it’s because the earth took a bit longer to reform so you did fall a bit

vestal briar
#

It fucks with my mind

rough sapphire
#

I love black mirror

tulip palm
#

yeah we also watched the matrix and the titanic in english lessons

rough sapphire
#

Did you watch Cast Away?

#

I’ve never watched the matrix or titanic

vestal briar
#

You sure you didn't walk into film lessons

rough sapphire
#

WILSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

vestal briar
#

Never watched castaway

rough sapphire
#

Tssk

vestal briar
#

Oh no, creeper

rough sapphire
#

I'm disappointed in you @vestal briar

vestal briar
#

Fine with me

tulip palm
#

great quote from my teacher though, "the soldiers were literally shitting themselves to death". and that is an explanation of this ot-name, and we've come full circle.

rough sapphire
#

Never watched cast away but I know that he has a ball called Wilson

#

Because people reference it a lot

vestal briar
#

Mhm

#

I wonder if anyone got ptsd from watching saving private ryan

rough sapphire
#

Cast Away taught me never to trust FedEx planes

#

Uhhh probably not

vestal briar
#

Like not from existing ptsd

#

But like actually developed it somehow

#

It was too real

rough sapphire
vestal briar
#

Being a normie on /r/programmerhumour

#

Cracking out memer vocabulary so you can better understand me

rough sapphire
#

I'm really not a fan of the phrase normie 😐

vestal briar
#

Hence the Cracking out memer vocabulary so you can better understand me :P

tulip palm
#

if you disapprove of the word "normie" then that is what you are

vestal briar
#

Fine by me

tulip palm
#

scott

rough sapphire
#

It's just it's very derogatory

I mean there’s nothing wrong with the word normie

tulip palm

vestal briar
#

tulip palm
#

put your eyes away

rough sapphire
#

tulip palm
#

what actually is the flavour of irn-bru. like, what makes it that taste?

vestal briar
#

Some horid shit

rough sapphire
#

@tulip palm the blood of the innocent Probably natural flavors or something

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

tulip palm
#

aha

#

it does not taste natural

vestal briar
#

It has quinine, caffinem ammonium ferric and 2 main aritificial sweeteners

rough sapphire
#

I've never even known about it until now, so idk

#

@rough sapphire my eyes just floated there and her ass just got in the way, complete coincidence

vestal briar
#

Like 1 ingrediant is natrual

rough sapphire
#

@rough sapphire You're not making your situation any better

vapid bluff
#

just claim youre blind

#

it's not too late

rough sapphire
#

Gonna walk into work tomorrow and they'll serve you a notice

#

I mean the guy who caught me didn’t care

#

"YOU ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED ON THESE PREMISES."

#

"PLEASE LEAVE OR WE WILL HAVE TO CALL THE POLICE. HERE IS YOUR CHECK. GOOD DAY."

#

"I SAID GOOD DAY."

vestal briar
#

Or an anti-terrorism van rolls up when you step out the door

rough sapphire
#

@vestal briar Oh yeah, @rough sapphire is in London...

vestal briar
#

NEE NARRRR MOTHERFUCKER

#

Oh true

rough sapphire
#

“Dear sir, is not my fault, her ass should not have stepped in front of my eyes. I think to fix this we should cut her ass off”

#

So yeah that'll probably happen

vestal briar
#

Some recruit on a bike

rough sapphire
#

"GET IN THE VAN"

vestal briar
#

I mean it's london

rough sapphire
#

"Is.... Are you kidnapping me?"

#

"GET IN THE VAN"

vestal briar
#

Kinky

rough sapphire
#

@vestal briar 👀

vapid bluff
#

owen NO

rough sapphire
#

@vestal briar Only you would think kidnapping by the state is that.

vestal briar
#

It's the ultimate word to make something angry into uncomftableness

#

It's like is a psycological stun in 1 word!

vapid bluff
vestal briar
#

????

rough sapphire
#

My situation has been made worse because my talking about it i am now thinking about the girls ass intensly sweatcat

#

It's raining bees

#

Also,

vestal briar
#

Public discord

rough sapphire
#

It's Raining Men and Let The Bodies Hit The Floor are the same song, just in two different perspectives.

#

Let that sink in.

#

...

vestal briar
#

I sort of want to do cpr on someone just to sing staying alive

vapid bluff
#

i mean

rough sapphire
#

What would happen if it started raining human

vapid bluff
#

it could be raining over an ocean

vestal briar
#

@rough sapphire You'd die

rough sapphire
#

Like what would people do

vapid bluff
#

they wouldnt be hitting a floor

rough sapphire
#

@rough sapphire Calm down Zuckerburg

#

Hahaha

vapid bluff
#

didnt think of that did ya scott

vestal briar
#

Well it sounds like a fucking weird horror movie

rough sapphire
#

@vapid bluff Sea level is considered "the floor"

#

Depends on their speed and depth of the ocean, they may hit the ocean floor hyperlemon

#

Git gud meta

vapid bluff
#

rough sapphire
#

Hahah

#

YES IT IS, GOOD DAY TO YOU

#

DON'T MAKE ME GET BOLD TEXT IN HERE

vapid bluff
#

CEASE YOUR TOMFOOLERY AT ONCE

rough sapphire
#

That's the third time someone has used that word on me in 24 hours.

#

How weird

vestal briar
#

What was that story where elon musk and zuckerberg see who can have the best hour ever

#

And elon musk buys a water jetpack

rough sapphire
#

what

vestal briar
#

Then zuckerburg pays off someones student loan so they can beat the shit out of them, mr robot style

rough sapphire
#

what

vestal briar
#

It was a funny dark humour-style fiction

#

I think it was linked on stack overflow

#

Can't find it anywhere though

#

It would make sense if you saw it, alright

rough sapphire
#

are you sure you didn’t make it up

vestal briar
#

Positive

#

I mean have you ever laughed in your dream

rough sapphire
#

.......

vestal briar
#

Hm can humans laugh in dreams

#

And why would a dream be sitting in front of a computer reading that

#

Alright

#

Nice photo

rough sapphire
#

I often dream about my computer

#

You saw nothing

vestal briar
#

Oh yeah I do that

#

I had a dream that I got 2 new desk chairs

#

And one had fucking loud fans built into it

#

Turns out I got woke up by a hoover..

rough sapphire
#

Lol

#

I love it when sounds from the outside get into your dream

#

Is so freaky

vestal briar
#

Yeah

rough sapphire
#

Like my mum will be sayinh my name and I’ll hear it in my dream it’s so weird

vestal briar
#

I used to daydream when I was sleepy and the thing that I last thought about just sort of appeared in my room as like a pattern from the curtains

vapid bluff
#

i have this recurring dream theme where someone starts insulting me and when i try to argue back my mouth wont open

#

whats my brain trying to say? 🤔

vestal briar
#

Uh

#

Ego

#

Something like that

rough sapphire
#

@vapid bluff You're dealing with people who you're uncomfortable telling them how you actually feel

#

Your brain is telling you taht you should staple your mouth shut irl

#

Idk, I'm not a doctor

vapid bluff
#

that or i have a severe case of jawlock and im in denial

rough sapphire
#

Riot's probably right

vestal briar
#

I had a recurring nightmare 2 or 3 times that I just got frozen

#

Like I couldnt move

vapid bluff
#

oh ok

#

should the staples go on the inside

vestal briar
#

Nah

rough sapphire
#

I have a recurring night mare that someone kidnaps me and someone I love and tortures then in front of me

vestal briar
#

Outside

#

You could use a nut and bolt

#

But you'd need a pilot hole

rough sapphire
#

@rough sapphire Sounds like a movie

vestal briar
#

@rough sapphire Had that

rough sapphire
#

Dreams are kinda like personal movies

vestal briar
#

"The black boot"

#

Some magic black boot kidnapped my mum and brought her to a castle

#

It was like mario

#

I used to have some nightmares but they sort of stopped after a really bad one when I was 7

rough sapphire
#

It’s always kidnapped from my house and I try to hide somewhere and they have heat sensors to find me, and they drive us somewhere far away in a big mansion and we get locked in a room with a bed and a toilet and they then come in with some sort of weapon, gun, knife, crowbar, and will tie me to a chair and then start beating the person in front of me girlfriend, sister etc, that can include sexual abuse, cutting limbs off, scalping them, generally beating them, then they’ll leave and I’ll try to escape somehow and they’ll come back and kill me and I wake up

vestal briar
#

Jesus

rough sapphire
#

It’s always that exact same pattern tho

#

Intruder, hide, kidnap, mansion, locked, abuse, escape, found, killed

vestal briar
#

Go to bed thinking that you own bodyguards

rough sapphire
#

I have like semi lucid dreams, like I have some control, I can rewind scenes and start over with a SLIGJTLY different setup but I’m not aware I’m dreaming somehow? And I can’t change anything drastically

vestal briar
#

Ooh

#

The start of that nightmare sounds like a good plot

#

But it always seems to go downhill

rough sapphire
#

Yeah the first time I had that dream I hid under my bed and they found me and then I rewound and hid in a cubby hole in my wall this time and then they had heat sensors

vestal briar
#

So they find you no matter what

rough sapphire
#

I’ve never not been found yeah

vestal briar
#

I wonder, do reoccuring dreams happen at the same time in the night

rough sapphire
#

It’s like, I have control over my actions and that’s it, I can’t control anything else that happens, the rest is like consequence of action

#

Probably not

vestal briar
#

Yeah

rough sapphire
#

It’d be cool if they did tho

vestal briar
#

Yeah

#

Just wake you up if a dream goes so far as to give psycological issues

#

Would actually be a good way of controlling

rough sapphire
#

Yeah and I’m sure smart science people could probably attach some thingy to your head to change something about your brain during that time

vestal briar
#

Yeah

#

I have 0 experiance in the whole brain area but that sounds like you don't feel safe at home

#

Seeing that every time you get kidnapped whilst you are at home

rough sapphire
#

Maybe it’s because I don’t like being out of my room, every time the intruder comes I’m like outside in my garden or something and then I go to run and hide in my room hyperlemon

#

psychology

vestal briar
#

Woo

#

Imagine if we could generate a list of everything wrong about every human

#

Not sure what would be the "perfect" one though

rough sapphire
#

Yeah like how would you class what’s wrong with someone and what isn’t

vestal briar
#

Yep

#

That's a whole field

#

But imagine if you could just generate a list of every tiny thing thats wrong about you

#

That'd be reassuring but scary at the same time

rough sapphire
#

reassuring?!

#

it would make me spiral into a panic attack lmao

vestal briar
#

As in you could get a lot fixed

rough sapphire
#

It’s like being bullied by a computer

vestal briar
#

And you could know exactly how heathy you are

rough sapphire
#

Oh that’d be interesting

#

Cus I look physically healthy and in shape but I eat so much shit

vestal briar
#

Yeah

rough sapphire
#

I’d like to know how my insides are handling

vestal briar
#

You'd know what caused that

#

And you'd know any true diagnosis

#

No tests or anything, just go in for whatever corrections

#

Like i'd be fine with knowing that

#

Another hyptothetical: knowing when you'll die

rough sapphire
#

turns out that I have like 10 days to live

vestal briar
#

I'd actually like to know that because I would be immortal until that date

rough sapphire
#

Hmm

#

Knowing when you’ll die is an interesting one

vestal briar
#

But the whole knowing your fate puts a burden

rough sapphire
#

Cus say your body will die 80 years

#

Well you’re not physically immortal until then, someone could shoot you and you’d die like

#

To know when you’d die, that means that you have to believe in fate

vestal briar
#

I mean you know the day that you would die for certain

rough sapphire
#

That things are already set out

vestal briar
#

But anything before that, you would be immortal

#

Seeing you would know when you would die

#

But then the whole free will argument

#

I think that there are infinate possibilities but when you know your fate, you are locked into one of them and cannot branch off into other desicions

rough sapphire
#

Yeah

vestal briar
#

That way it also makes sense time traveling

#

You are locked into one path until you regain time to where you where

rough sapphire
#

It’s 3am and idk wether to sleep or just stay up until 11

vestal briar
#

Sleep

rough sapphire
vestal briar
#

Eh thats fine

#

DRINK MY MUTATED POTATOS

rough sapphire
#

okay I sleep now

#

Maybe

#

Maybe I’ll be back

vestal briar
#

👌

vestal briar
#

I'm still standing 🎵

rough sapphire
fossil solar
#

how often should i optimize my drivers or defragment?

vestal briar
#

Time for sleep

#

Night

#

Will be taking up in 7 hours

vestal briar
#

Okay

#

No sleep for me I guess

gentle moss
#

brown cheese is weird and nutty and i'm still not sure if i like it

sand goblet
#

There are plenty of nutty cheeses

#

But only one nutty professor

gentle moss
#

and only one professor nutty butter

#

apparently GDPR has been causing more headaches

#

because in requesting your GDPR data you have to hand over data which falls under GDPR

#

scammers are apparently gaining small amounts of info like last 4 digits of credit card, full name, dob, and using it to submit GDPR requests to gain full information etc

sand goblet
#

I heard, yeah

gentle moss
#

uncomfortable situation to be in

#

ICO fine or ICO fine

sand goblet
#

There are plenty of ways to do it properly

gentle moss
#

sure but there are no guide lines for it

sand goblet
#

I can think of two basically foolproof automated ways to do it

#

Use your login system and have a button on the dashboard

#

And

#

Operate an email address, whenever it gets an email reply with a special link to get the data for that email address

#

That way there's no human error from bad emails

gentle moss
#

i mean that relies on having other systems in place already

#

i think the wider problem is for other shit like idk

#

local vets or w/e

#

small stuff

sand goblet
#

Even a vet has your address

#

They could mail it out

gentle moss
#

true enough

#

gf's doing a fucking DIY project and using all my tools

#

got me on edge

#

"i can't find the woodglue, found the hot glue gun though"

#

"DON'T USE HOT GLUE"

sand goblet
#

Lol hot glue

#

r/diwhy anyone

gentle moss
#

"it's gonna rain outside tomorrow, i could use the living room table to saw."

#

"it can barely hold our feet up let alone sawing ffs"

#

gonna come back to a house covered in hot glue spidewebs, a broken table and sawdust everywhere

rough sapphire
#

Was nice knowing you bisk

gentle moss
#

just glad she's not using power tools

rough sapphire
#

yet

gentle moss
#

first day of moving into the house she sliced her hand open trying to open something with a knife

#

-.-

rough sapphire
#

I've done that

gentle moss
#

got a track record

rough sapphire
#

She's gonna have you hold something and then it'll "slip" and you'll end up dead

gentle moss
#

:D

rough sapphire
#

Was nice knowing you

#

She may or may not kill you.

#

Not gonna say it's on purpose

#

But it's definitely not an accident

#

👀

gentle moss
#

everyone should learn to do some DIY at some point

rough sapphire
#

@gentle moss Sure, but the joke was this is her excuse for killing you.

#

crickets

#

Not even a chuckle?

#

lol

#

there... 🙂

gentle moss
#

if i can at least pass one thing on in life it's how to DIY

#

even if that will be the death of me

rough sapphire
#

Good point

sand goblet
#

pass it on to who, though

#

haha

gentle moss
#

idk, her

rough sapphire
#

Girlfriend, lol

gentle moss
#

before she murders me

rough sapphire
#

"CAN YOU FEEL THIS" as she opens his head with a drill

#

the last thing he says "THAT'S THE WRONG DRILL BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT"

gentle moss
#

i believe that's a widely recognised medical practice

#

as long as she uses a forstner drill bit rather than a flat or a hole cutter

#

i think i'm okay with it

#

right tool for the right job and that

sand goblet
#

So how's work, bisk? :>

gentle moss
#

cough

sand goblet
#

haha

#

I see.

gentle moss
#

nah, i'm writing emails atm

#

so fucking dull

sand goblet
#

I ate a scone this morning

#

Truly we live exciting lives

gentle moss
#

i had a coffee but i think it might've been a mistake so i only drank half

#

i am now drinking water

sand goblet
#

there are four packets of hula hoops on my desk

#

I don't think this qualifies as lunch

gentle moss
#

i'm watching one of our support techs go through a box of about 300 Office licenses looking for the ones for a specific company that i know aren't in there

#

but i'm not saying anything

sand goblet
#

haha, anything for a quiet life, right

gentle moss
#

nah, he's just a bit loud and irritating and i forgot my headphones today so i think he deserves the pain

sand goblet
#

nods

#

Criminal mastermind signed name as 'Thief' on receipts after buying stuff with stolen card

gentle moss
#

lol

#

the brass ones

rough sapphire
#

@sand goblet I've seen that story a few times

#

One was where a guy's friend signed it as "I STOLE THIS CARD"

gentle moss
#

i knew the story of a person who signed all their card stuff mickey mouse for years and years before someone pulled them up on it

rough sapphire
#

Which the guy ended up having the bank call a few months later

#

"Hey, did someone steal your card?"

sand goblet
#

haha

#

I have a story too

#

My mom had her handbag stolen at a bar in london once

#

I think this was before I was born

rough sapphire
#

They signed it as their actual signature, didn't they?

sand goblet
#

No no

#

They didn't use the card to buy anything

#

They went to the Barclays with the card and other stuff in the bag and used it to withdraw most of the money, in person

#

The staff were happy to comply

#

She was shown the security footage later on

rough sapphire
#

Wooooooooooow

sand goblet
#

Not only did they not look anything like her

#

they weren't even female

#

and they didn't do any identity checks either

rough sapphire
#

Her bank sucks

sand goblet
#

Barclays had to take repsonsibility and they put all the money back into the account

#

and interest, if I remember correctly

gentle moss
#

sounds about right

sand goblet
#

they don't exist in Ireland so we don't use them here

#

all the banks here are like

#

Allied Irish Bank

#

Bank of Ireland

#

Ulster Bank

rough sapphire
#

@sand goblet how long ago was this?

sand goblet
#

like I said, I think before I was born

#

so 27+ years

rough sapphire
#

Ulster is owned by Natwest/RBS

gentle moss
#

i wonder if i still own part of Natwest

rough sapphire
#

the staff should have asked the question about the male/female thing, as it wasn't considered normal back then.

sand goblet
#

yeah I know

rough sapphire
#

as a taxpayer, bisk?

sand goblet
#

all the businesses here have unimaginative names

gentle moss
#

yes Stese

#

and yes i do

#

62% of it

sand goblet
#

the local hardware store is M. D. O'Shea & Sons

gentle moss
#

well, RBS

#

not Natwest

#

"RBS Group"

rough sapphire
#

Yeah, i think that group is still part govement owned.

sand goblet
#

there's a sandwich cafe chain called O'Briens

gentle moss
#

62.4% of RBS is owned by the UK Government

sand goblet
#

it's nationwide

rough sapphire
#

I dropped natwest as a bank about 3 years ago, after nearly 30 years.

gentle moss
#

i'm still with them

rough sapphire
#

(and i'm only 35)

sand goblet
#

there's a nearby car dealer called O'Sullivan Ford's

#

(they sell volvos)

gentle moss
#

yeah, my mum made me a Natwest account when i was a kid

#

i've had it +15 years

#

but the "main branch" for the account is in London

#

since we moved

#

makes doing some stuff a pain

rough sapphire
#

they removed about 2 grand from one of my accounts, without asking, and without making ANY notes on what was going on, while i was on holiday in spain.

sand goblet
#

there's a big electronics/appliances/devices store, it's called Harvey Norman

gentle moss
#

and they closed all the nearest branches to me. i have to drive 40 minutes to get to my bank :|

rough sapphire
#

no one would accept responsibility. spent about £100 on the phone trying to get them to explain it.

gentle moss
#

sorry G, those names are so dull they didn't even register

#

:D

sand goblet
#

haha, every fucking business is named like this

rough sapphire
#

I think they are quite charming really,

sand goblet
#

there are businesses that aren't

#

world of wonder, the toy store

#

Dealz, which is our name for Poundland

#

Woodies DIY

#

but they're all kind of meh

rough sapphire
#

it makes a change from the massive chain stores here, and very few independants

sand goblet
#

yeah but it's just like

#

there's an electronics store that does mostly audio gear

#

they called it Soundstore

rough sapphire
#

Ok, thats not all that imaginative...

#

but you;ve remembered it, and what they do, so Win!

sand goblet
#

I mean sure, but it's so boring, haha

#

the main supermarket here is named SuperValu

rough sapphire
#

it could have been "Electronics Store"

sand goblet
#

they're one of the most expensive ones

#

which is amusing

#

not that the quality isn't good, but

gentle moss
#

Woodies as a DIY store is kinda funny

sand goblet
#

they even have a little jingle

#

Woodies, Woodies, Woodies, there's no better buy in DIY

#

they're a big chain

#

although one thing about the Irish, they're good about putting personality into media

#

everyone knows about Brennans bread

#

because you hear the guy go "Todaysh bread, today" on the radio all the time

gentle moss
#

:D

#

some of our local ones are like that

sand goblet
#

yeah but the thing is

#

you go to the store to buy bread

#

you can buy Brennans

#

Harringtons

#

<supermarket brand>

#

and.. uh..

#

oh, Irish Pride

#

so 50% of your products are just family named

#

and you guys are all scoffing Hovis over there which I think must be related to a family name too

gentle moss
#

there's weird stuff in branding sometimes

#

like they sell Bulmers and Magners in the UK

#

despite them being exactly the same product

#

just different branding

#

:D

#

sounds homely

sand goblet
#

and butter is gold

#

and made of green

#

shakes fist

gentle moss
#

i sorta remember that advert

sand goblet
#

I haven't seen an advert

gentle moss
#

i thought it was an advert

sand goblet
#

I'm sure they exist since kerrygold is kind of famous around the world, but

gentle moss
#

hmm

I saw that hyperlemon

gentle moss

but still good

#

i saw an artist tweeting earlier that they gave permission to an organisation to use their song on one compilation video and then THEIR OWN SONG / MUSIC VIDEO got a take down notice from that organisation

or people sampling his beats to create their 🔥 🔥 🔥 mix tapes were submitting claims against him

fucking mad

as will smith might say

it's the wickity wild wild west.

sand goblet
#

another nice part about having a lot of screens is stretching things over multiple

rough sapphire
#

but yeah, single monitor master race. Maybe two. More than that: waste of power.

#

shrug.

sand goblet
#

like if you have three vertical screens you can stretch a game over all of them

#

or three landscape

#

I've done it, it's quite the thing

gritty mulch
#

Unfortunately lots of games don't support that too

sand goblet
#

they don't need to if you have an nvidia card

wet steppe
#

if you get a good VESA mount arm you can rotate and move screens freely

rough sapphire
#

Im interested in seeing that, but.... I think I would dislike the bars. I dont even like looking at the frames of my glasses.

wooden silo
#

Ultrawide. It's the best of both worlds.

gritty mulch
#

Sure you can stretch them Gdude

sand goblet
#

Some screens have pretty small bezels these days

gritty mulch
#

But

#

A lot of games you don't actually get a higher FOV

#

The edges just get distorted

sand goblet
#

I haven't really noticed that in anything modern

rough sapphire
#

I dont even play games as much as I used to. Sometimes I feel like I try to play video games and I have this fancy gaming computer and all I do with it is run light weight Linux stuff. I just... dont have the attention span for games anymore. In a way, coding is my new puzzle game genre, because its not a job for me.

#

Friends will be like, "Come jump on whatever"

wet steppe
#
The edges just get distorted```Dota 2 does this
rough sapphire
#

and Ill play for a bit but I just am thinking about other things now

wet steppe
#

play modded minecraft its great

#

so many machines

rough sapphire
#

It seems like a lot of programmers like MC

sand goblet
#

Apex why are you not playing on our server

rough sapphire
#

Maybe I should try it

sand goblet
#

I am disappoint

rough sapphire
#

Is MineCraft open source?

wet steppe
#

no but minetest is

#

a lot of minecraft mods are open source though

#

its all java code though

sand goblet
#

Yeah Minecraft is verifiably not OSS

#

however

#

MCP is able to decompile it

#

it's the basis of almost every mod

#

that said you should play vanilla before you play modded

wet steppe
#

I joined the Enderio discord :D
its mostly bug reports though

rough sapphire
#

Im guessing that they at least dont make a stink about it or some mod would tell us to stop talking about it lol

wet steppe
#

but they help me when I mess up my machines

gritty mulch
#

Minecraft needs to be rewritten into not-Java and made good kthx

sand goblet
#

already been done

#

but no mods

#

no good mods anyway

wet steppe
#

that already happened its Bedrock edition in C++

gritty mulch
#

It's not the same thing

#

Obviously not meant to be either

sand goblet
#

It is

gritty mulch
#

There's loads of differences and it's meant to be that way

rough sapphire
#

Maybe I'll try it when Im looking to reinvent my interst in games. My attitude isn't, "Oh, I'm a grown man now no time for games." It's more like, "I wish I still cared about these games, but I just don't."

gritty mulch
#

That's why people don't play Windows 10 edition

sand goblet
#

the differences are mostly "holy fuck this is fast"

rough sapphire
#

I still theretically like them, but I make no time for them

sand goblet
#

people don't play it because there are no good servers or mods

gritty mulch
#

If you're a technical player you'll never switch

wet steppe
#

@rough sapphire Dota 2 international is on now
its a good time to get into Dota if you want 🙂

rough sapphire
#

I feel competitive games are the least likely to keep my interest lol.

#

I'm so bad at them

wet steppe
#

ah okay Dota is pretty competitive yeah

gritty mulch
#

There's a lot of room for improvement for optimising Java edition but why bother when you could use a better language

#

It's never gonna happen though

sand goblet
#

they are slowly improving it

#

although it isn't without issues

#

in 1.14.4, with spigot, chunks don't save properly unless they're unloaded

#

that's a problem, haha

gritty mulch
#

Use Paperspigot!

sand goblet
#

I am

gritty mulch
#

Oh great

#

Usually Paper fixes Spigot issues and if not just removes the patches

#

Is this not a known issue

wet steppe
#

we're using the Twitch launcher oof

sand goblet
#

it must be a known issue

gritty mulch
#

Oof indeed

sand goblet
#

it's so obvious

rough sapphire
#

Do you guys think its worth it to just... log out of Linux and into Windows to play Minecraft? because, I set up dual boot specifically for that purpose. So I can do that if its better.

gritty mulch
#

If you use MultiMC you don't need to use Twitch

sand goblet
#

you save-all and stop the server with players on it and they come back with chunks missing from their buildings

#

that's not true

#

No forge 1.13+ for MultiMC and no plans to support

gritty mulch
#

MultiMC is a client?

wet steppe
#

yeah at some point I will learn to use MultiMC

sand goblet
#

No, it's a launcher

gritty mulch
#

Yeah not a client sorry

#

You just give it the pack link and they make you an instance

sand goblet
#

yeah but not with 1.13+

#

you can't be using forge, it'll refuse

gritty mulch
#

Why would there be a difference

sand goblet
#

because the way Forge is installed changed

#

MultiMC does it manually instead of using the installer

gritty mulch
#

It has for ages. I thought this was backported

#

They don't patch the jar manually it's done by the launcher

sand goblet
#

yes, MultiMC is the launcher

gritty mulch
#

Yes but I thought the new launcher stuff was backported in Forge to older versions and those work

#

I may be wrong

sand goblet
#

No

#

this is new

#

it's not about supporting the new vanilla launcher

#

it's about installing forge

#

anyway the important point is we have a Minecraft server and people should play on it

#

:>

rough sapphire
#

Twitch launcher suck big booty

But yes ^ people should play it hyperlemon

"auto pilot drove me into a sign at 70mph but it saved my life"

I don't quite understand. In what sense did it save their life?

summer rampart

probably the airbags not malfunctioning

rough sapphire

did he not see the sign? Auto pilot drives but you’re still meant to be paying attention

maybe the chassis and airbag

I don’t understand how he didn’t see the sign

because he clearly wasn't paying attention

knowing the state of software I wouldn't trust one to send me around at 70mph in a 1 ton metal chassis

especially not a piece of software that has been known to not be able to recognise 17.5ton articulated lorries

I guess people who buy a Model S tend to be people who put a lot of faith in them.

@sand goblet I'll connect to the server when it's running a modpack of somekind.

gentle moss
#

and would drive on autopilot while not watching the road

#

i still feel weird using cruise control

#

let alone letting AI drive my car

rough sapphire
#

@rough sapphire it has a lot of plugins, the Civs plugin I would describe as the vanilla version of modpacks? A lot of automation and stuff feelsGladMan

#

There’s also jump pads you can build, and inventory sorting

#

I might have a look 😛

#

And different mobs

gentle moss
rough sapphire
#

It’s cool feelsGladMan I think g did a great job making a survival server that has a lot of different features

#

I really like the civs plugin, you have to build different structures that you can sell to, or they produce some kind of item and you can automate them with minecarts and such

sand goblet
#

@rough sapphire It probably won't ever run an actual modpack

#

we tried that before

#

it's not accessible to many users and requires way too many system resources

rough sapphire
#

If this was an actual minecraft server it could be a good idea cus there’d be a lot more people who played minecraft and who could possibly run the pack but this is not hyperlemon

#

I’ve never found a good minecraft server pepe

#

if there was any, i'l suggest ATM3 lite.

#

My computer struggles with ATM3 even lite

#

Pretty much anything that isn’t skyblock my computer doesn’t like

#

ram limit?

#

I usually set my ram for packs to like 8-12gig

sand goblet
#

vanilla will run happily with 1GiB of RAM allocated

rough sapphire
#

@rough sapphire how much ram in your machine?

#

16

#

There is a quirk that is often discussed around Minecraft and ram, apparently it can get screwy if you assign more than 50% of your max ram

#

Hmm

sand goblet
#

it's not really much to do with Minecraft

#

Java uses all the RAM you give it

#

if you give it too much then it'll fill it and garbage collect, which takes a while

rough sapphire
#

Well can’t you give a min and a max?

#

I usually give a min of 4 and a max of 12

summer rampart
#

8 max is sufficient for almost all cases

wet steppe
#

I assigned 6

#

for Enigmatica 2 modpack

rough sapphire
#

I’ll have to give a try decreasing the ram hyperlemon

#

i wonder if I can convince this machine to run vanilla ok.

#

I’ve been playing packs like that with like 15fps max sweatcat

#

you on a desktop or laptop?

#

My vanilla runs at like 40fps with shaders and a resource pack

#

Desktop

wet steppe
#

with optifine?

rough sapphire
#

Ya

sand goblet
#

no other way to do shaders atm

wet steppe
#

if your pc struggles to

rough sapphire
#

optifine + othermods can be problemactic.

#

Could be ram allocation like we talked earlier so I’m gonna try turn it down

wet steppe
#

if your pc struggles to run packs
then instead of installing a modpack
you could just install a handful of mods

#

like thaumcraft and a couple of tech ones

rough sapphire
#

It runs skyblock packs fine but other ones I get like 15fps

wet steppe
#

or go to a really old minecraft version like 1.4.7 had a good modding scene

rough sapphire
#

Skyblock packs I’ll get like 30fps, still not great but it’s decent

wet steppe
#

im not a fan of skyblock but okay

rough sapphire
#

I like em but I’ve never really got to play other packs too much, because once I start getting too far it lags a lotttr

#

what GPU Riot?

sand goblet
#

I mean this really is the crux of why modpack servers don't work out

wet steppe
#

even in modded I like to interact with the landscape a fair bit

sand goblet
#

nobody can fucking run them

#

haha

rough sapphire
#

I've not really had any major issues running mod packs other than the full ATM 3... cos it's HUGE.

wet steppe
#

ATM 3 is hard to run yeah

sand goblet
#

you have the groups that can't run them

#

and you have the groups that hate having to learn all the mods

#

and the groups that don't want to download more stuff

wet steppe
#

in my opinion Enigmatica 2 is a better version of what ATM 3 is trying to achieve TBH

#

its considerably lighter

sand goblet
#

it's just good sense to support vanilla.

rough sapphire
#

@sand goblet I get what you are saying, I just miss some of the tools you get in modded packs.

#

oh, in the rules you mention not installing mods... why would installing client side mods be a problem?

sand goblet
#

Like what?

#

Because it gives you an unfair advantage

rough sapphire
#

ok, from that POV, it makes sense.

#

I understood it as a technical problem.

sand goblet
#

I mean I also hope you realise how difficult it is to administrate a 1.14 server

#

not all the plugins I needed were free

rough sapphire
#

@rough sapphire all specs here cus I don’t know shit about hardware tag

#

Which ones weren’t free?

sand goblet
#

There are plugins on the server that aren't listed in the docs

rough sapphire
#

why aren't they listed?

sand goblet
#

Because they're security-related

rough sapphire
#

Probably ones we don’t need to know about

#

Yeah

#

If we don’t have to use them no point us knowing feelsGladMan

quasi sequoia
#

they didn't catch riot cheating yesterday 😛

sand goblet
#

Well there are a few in there regular users can't use

#

yeah I set up a few yesterday

rough sapphire
sand goblet
#

that clien't won't work now

#

haha

wet steppe
#

@rough sapphire that's weird your PC specs look good
suprised you don't get better performance

rough sapphire
#

everything is dark now by the way

#

Could be too much ram, so I’ll try that when I get back home

#

@sand goblet unknown plug-ins doing unknown things across a minecraft connection. thats sketchy.

sand goblet
#

I was waiting for that question

#

why don't you tell the channel exactly what's possible for those plugins to do?

rough sapphire
#

Literally every server you’d play on would have unknown plugins hyperlemon hyperlemon

#

it's not a question, it's a statement.

sand goblet
#

OK, statement

rough sapphire
#

Who the hell knows what they can do... thats my point.

sand goblet
#

well, I do, but the protocol is very well documented

#

this is a community of developers

#

if you have an actual concern, voice it

rough sapphire
#

I have a concern that as a non-developer, I don't understand the protocol, so don't have confidence that these unknown plugins cant do dangerous things.

sand goblet
#

OK, but that's not a complaint

rough sapphire
#

Most servers have security plugins and plugins that only staff use that regular users aren’t explicitly told about

sand goblet
#

Your complaint is basically "I don't understand the technology"

#

like I say, if you have a worry, tell me and I'll explain how that portion works

rough sapphire
#

why do I have to understand the technology?

sand goblet
#

well you just told me that that's the reason for your concern

rough sapphire
#

how can I have a specific worry on what a plugin is doing, if I don't know what plugins are being used.

#

i'm thus hampered by a lack of information.

sand goblet
#

you realise plugins are server-side, right

rough sapphire
#

yes

sand goblet
#

okay

#

unless you have some kind of worry that you can categorise somehow, I'm not sure how you can have a complaint

#

do you understand what Discord does under the hood?

#

are you aware of the inner machinations of your browser?

rough sapphire
#

no, but if I wanted to, I'm sure I could dig into what is involved and why those things do.

sand goblet
#

You would have a very hard time doing so

rough sapphire
#

if I don't know what plugins are being used, how can I investigate them?

sand goblet
#

And you couldn't dig into the server side of Discord either

wet steppe
#

Discord is closed source we really don't know how it works

#

aside from a few blog posts

rough sapphire
#

I don't get the need for obscurity in this case.

wet steppe
#

where they talked a bit about it

rough sapphire
#

What are you using for the server g, spigot?

sand goblet
#

There is a need for obscurity because there are known workarounds for my security measures

#

PaperSpigot, yeah

#

Like I say, this is 1.14, there's a lot of things that are half-implemented or just not really thought about yet

#

for example, I can detect Forge, but the handshake is incomplete so I can't see what mods a Forge client is using

#

The plugins I'm using that you don't get to see are concerned with verifying that a client is either vanilla, or using an approved mod loader

#

they can also filter on mods if the mod loader provides them

rough sapphire
#

fair enough. I hope you understand, I'm not saying I don't trust you, but there is an air of 'sketchyness' around an admission of something doing unknown things in the background.

sand goblet
#

If I was being sketchy about it, I'd simply not tell you that there were unlisted plugins.

rough sapphire
#

Kinda along the same lines as an app asking for permissions to something that it seems unlikely to need.

quasi sequoia
#

I don't think noone on this server is going to cheat

sand goblet
#

they already have

#

:>

rough sapphire
#

I don’t understand the concern tbh, 99% of servers run background plugins, I’m sure g knows which plugins he needs, what they do, and how they’re useful, I feel pretty safe feelsGladMan

sand goblet
#

before that happened, I didn't have a plugin that dealt with that, and everything was listed

quasi sequoia
#

riot only wanted a brighter world

rough sapphire
#

I did have a “hacked” client tho

#

Could turn X-ray and stuff on if I wanted to

sand goblet
#

I mean we do have x-ray protection

#

but that's built into paperspigot

quasi sequoia
#

can't you just adjust gamma from gpu settings?

rough sapphire
#

There should be like a client that has full bright etc and innocent “hacks” that most servers deem as okay

sand goblet
#

I have a list of mods that I'd like to support

#

but since Forge's handshake isn't done yet I can't actually detect them

rough sapphire
#

does that protect from texture pakcs being transparent?

sand goblet
#

yes it does

#

the ores you see using that method are fake

rough sapphire
#

How does that work?

sand goblet
#

It's just simple proximity

#

the server can tell what you're supposed to be able to see

rough sapphire
#

Hmm

#

Why don’t most servers do that?

sand goblet
#

that stuff is already done on the server for stuff like mobs so it isn't even hard to implement

#

Well, a lot of them do, but many people don't even look at the config files

rough sapphire
#

But a lot of big servers have their own team for stuff like that

sand goblet
#

like I say

#

most people don't know it exists

#

and it won't detect someone tunnelling to a false ore

#

it just makes x-ray useless

#

I don't like honeypotting, people have a natural curiosity

rough sapphire
#

i still don't see how that works. the ore is either there or not. the client decides what stuff looks like

sand goblet
#

well yes, but the server tells the client what's in the world data

#

it just replaces flat stone with false ores if the client isn't supposed to be able to see it

#

and removes the real ores

#

there was a plugin that everyone was using that does literally the same thing, it was called orebfuscator

#

but now the server does it, if you turn it on

rough sapphire
#

how does it know that you can see the ore, when you aren't supposed to be able to?

sand goblet
#

it uses the same logic that the mob vision logic does I assume

#

I'm not sure of the low level implementation details but it's not too hard to figure out

rough sapphire
#

maybe i'm just thick then

#

lol

sand goblet
#

If you're writing a plugin there's a simple method to get what block the client is looking at

#

so it definitely has the vision cone

rough sapphire
#

but the cone would just be looking in the direction... it's not specifically looking at a block in the distance as such. How does the server know the client can see through what it thinks are solid blocks.

sand goblet
#

It doesn't

#

but that's fine

rough sapphire
#

unless the client is reporting that back, in some way,

sand goblet
#

It doesn't need to know that

#

It knows what blocks the client should be able to see through

#

ideally the world state will be identical on the client and server

#

when it isn't, you get desyncs and weird stuff happens like people falling through the floor

rough sapphire
#

i'll have to do some reading to how this works, cos I can't get my head around the fundamentals.

sand goblet
#

that actually happened during my early server testing

#

I wanted to use Sponge instead of Spigot

#

but the Survival Games plugin I found didn't handle vanilla clients correctly

#

if you had a Forge client it worked fine, but if you were Vanilla then right-clicking blocks made them disappear client-side

#

the blocks were still there on the server but your client could like remove the floor and fall through

#

Minecraft is pretty fragile, honestly

rough sapphire
#

yeah, I know...

sand goblet
#

and anyway, another thing I wanted to point out

#

this is a community of developers

#

I fully expected people to try to write their own scripts and stuff to interact with the server

#

and I was right, vivax wrote a script to scrape the dynmap player list and get notifs for when people were online

#

it's necessary for me to have checks in place to detect illegitimate clients, haha, because people are likely to write bots

#

as for mods, I'm not really concerned with the survival aspect so much when it comes to that

#

what I'm concerned about is the survival games side

rough sapphire
#

I know you are fully justified in using the plugins, I was just pointing out the slight shadyness of leaving them undefined.

sand goblet
#

right, but you have no reason to be more suspicious of me than any other service you use

#

the only difference is that you can't go and yell at Zuckerburg if something breaks

rough sapphire
#

I wou;dn't yell at you either. I might ask nicely.

sand goblet
#

haha, yeah, but you know what I mean

#

besides, I've been doing this for almost 11 years now

#

You're in good hands, haha

rough sapphire
#

Yes g is smart boy hyperlemon hyperlemon

sand goblet
#

but I couldn't really remember the exact day, haha

#

I really need to restyle that page

rough sapphire
#

i've run small MC servers for a long while, but only with groups of friends, so never needed to get too deep into the backend.

#

I think I’ve been playing since my 9th birthday

sand goblet
#

You might notice that one of the plugins in that list is a gitlab link rather than a spigotmc link

rough sapphire
#

my daughter has been playing since she was about 2. she's 7 now.

sand goblet
#

it's a pretty simple plugin, but it's one of many that I've written

#

we're actually using two plugins with code I've written

rough sapphire
#

How complicated is it to write a minecraft plugin?

sand goblet
#

Boing! is entirely mine - that's the jump pads plugin

#

and the other one is my fork of UltimateSurvivalGames, which I should really push to github at some point

#

Also, not that hard

rough sapphire
#

The jump pads are cool feelsGladMan

sand goblet
#

but it is Java

rough sapphire
#

Hmmm, so I’ve never learnt java, how long would you say it would take me to learn java enough to write a basic plugin? Roughly?

sand goblet
#

I mean there's actually only two code files here

#

See if you can read them

#

I'm considering rewriting this in Kotlin but this is fine

rough sapphire
#

So uh

#
            if (event.getClickedBlock().getType() == Material.STONE_PRESSURE_PLATE) ```
#

I get the second part, like if the player activates a Stone pressure plate. What does the first part mean, what counts as a physical action?

sand goblet
#

Well the Bukkit API is a bit of a mess, to be honest

#

what we have here is a PlayerInteractEvent

#

the interaction action is PHYSICAL

#

meaning the player stood on the pressure plate in this case

rough sapphire
#

What other types of actions are there?

#

@sand goblet going back to the xray thing... if I understand correctly, the server only reports the correct block to the client if its next to an air block... otherwise it obfuscates it....

sand goblet
#

looking at the javadocs, it's described as "ass-pressure"

#

jumping on soil, standing on a pressure plate, triggering redstone ore

rough sapphire
#

Ass pressure... hyperlemon

sand goblet
#

triggering tripwires

wet steppe
#

ass-pressure ahaha

sand goblet
#

it's movement-based interactions, I guess

rough sapphire
#

And things like chucking an item on the ground, would that be an event but not physical?

sand goblet
#

Well this isn't a "physical event"

#

this is a PlayerInteractEvent

#

so your action would be a PlayerDropItemEvent

rough sapphire
#

Ahhh

#

I see

sand goblet
#

@rough sapphire That might be the case, yeah

#

I know it doesn't do anything to air blocks

#

I think that's probably the least network intensive way of doing it

#

since you're only sending "corrected" blocks when blocks are updated

googling if it is possible to make a minecraft plugin with python

sand goblet
#

Don't bother

rough sapphire
sand goblet
#

It's not worth the effort

#

The only real way to do it is with Jython and that's just Java with Python syntax - and old Python syntax at that

#

and you need another plugin to load the scripts

rough sapphire
#

can't you do python stuff with the pi version of MC?

sand goblet
#

Yeah, but that's not a real server

#

that's just a super basic Python server

rough sapphire
#

theres so many things for me to learn

sand goblet
#

to my knowledge there are no feature-complete servers that aren't mods of the official server

rough sapphire
#

@rough sapphire imagine being 35 had feeling the same thing.

#

My bones feel 35

#

How'd you get on yesterday with the shift trial

#

Tiring but people there were nice

sand goblet
#

I think the closest thing we have to a non-server-mod with a decent number of features is glowstone..

rough sapphire
#

There’s this one guy named dan, around the same age as me, he was teaching me a lot of stuff he was nice

sand goblet
#

that wasn't the case back in classic but MC moves far too fast to keep up today

rough sapphire
#

They said they’d call me and talk about if I wanted to continue etc

#

Yeah once Microsoft took over, minecraft took a different turn imo

#

Where was it? a resturant

#

Yeah

#

Ahh, an interesting envrioment, imho.

sand goblet
#

someone needs to photoshop your bath photos so it looks like you're surfing

rough sapphire
#

When Microsoft took over they did nothing for a year and now they’re pumping out new features all the time

#

Hahaha

sand goblet
#

I dunno how much you two do Redstone

rough sapphire
#

very little

sand goblet
#

but most of how Redstone works today is due to bugs that the community exploited and thus couldn't be removed

#

things like block update detectors are completely unintentional

#

but everyone uses them, so those bugs can't be fixed

#

that's where "it's not a bug, it's a feature" comes from

rough sapphire
#

Observers are littty titty

#

Melon farm with observers op hyperlemon

sand goblet
#

there are some other quirks too, like the south east rule

#

everyone implementing a server has to also implement these quirks and bugs

rough sapphire
#

I've never had a 'programming' mind (which is why i'm doing a uni course on it), and redstone has always felt it has similar logic.

#

I do some basic redstome but I’m not great

sand goblet
#

A lot of the ways things behave in Minecraft has a lot to do with cardinality

#

for example

#

TNT cannons will fire further if you aim them east or south

rough sapphire
#

Really? I didn’t know that

#

I don’t use tnt cannons a lot tho, they’re mainly faction servers

sand goblet
#

villagers will often try to cram into the house that is furthest to the south-east

#

dispensers used to be able to fire items through a solid block if it was west or south

rough sapphire
#

One thing I’ve never made is a villager farm and I kinda want to

sand goblet
#

(west and east were flipped at one point)

rough sapphire
#

also my villager in my NPC house keeps harvesting my potatoes and I’m not HAPPY

sand goblet
#

the south east rule is an entirely unintentional implementation detail

#

it exists because of the order that the official server iterates through some things

#

there would always be some kind of cardinal rule, it just happens to be south-east

rough sapphire
#

That makes sense

#

It’s weird but makes sense in the way it works

sand goblet
#

right

#

but now when you think about third party servers

#

in order to be fully compatible with vanilla, they have to do the exact same thing

#

otherwise you get unexpected behaviour

#

and special-casing things is not an option

rough sapphire
#

What would class as a third party server? I’ve only ever run servers from downloading the server files and tweaking some things?

sand goblet
#

Completely separate implementations

#

Bukkit, Spigot, Canary, Hmod, Forge, Fabric, Rift, Sponge, and anything else you've probably heard of

#

They all use the vanilla server

#

and then apply mods to it

#

that saves a lot of work because all of this behaviour is already there

rough sapphire
#

has anyone come up with feature complete 3rd party server? I'd find it difficult to beleive they have.

sand goblet
#

No

#

glowstone is the closest I've seen but even that's still stuck on 1.12

#

and isn't feature complete even to that point

#

I do admin work for that project

rough sapphire
#

fair enough

sand goblet
#

you should see what happens with ice on that thing

#

drop an item on ice and it goes WHEEEE

rough sapphire
#

what?
