Oh I don't look at those anymore, lol
I used to get 20 per day on xing, the German version of LinkedIn
Yeah idk why I have email notifications turned on when I'm not job hunting
I got my first job through a recruiter, but yeah now that I have as much experience as I do I don't need em anymore
But I did get the job before this one through linkedin, company reached out directly
Dealing with HR is bad enough, I don't need recruiters that have no clue about me and what I want and only care about their cut
Yeah, I also get companies reaching out directly, that's better
But recruiters also try to hide themselves here, don't put recruiter in their names anymore, they are now HR
Just opened xing, got a DM to work at germany's money printer ๐
I've never had a job through LinkedIn.
Though I've been doing this long enough that I just work within my own network.
I do know some folks find it useful.
I basically still am at my first gig
And some of my friends have been recruited through it.
I kinda need to switch next year or smth
Why?
Money
If I go somewhere else and come back after a year, I can easily increase my wage by 50%
I do consulting now when I do tech stuff.
Cause you know, I know what ppl here get when the join with 5 Years of experience
So I can raise or lower my rates if I want to.
And I would argue I have more than 5 Years of experience
My issue is that I started here as a student, did my apprenticeship/bachelor dual study thing and started with a good wage, but it's hard to get from that wage to smth we offer new ppl from the market
Yeah.
It's weird but that happens a LOT.
For some reason they always pay new folks more.
So that's why people hop jobs.
They have to
I know a few folks who have been able to stick around.
I got mine thru a recruiter actually
I'll talk to my boss in two weeks, we got a formal meeting
she was p nice, did some clerical errors but oh well
They've managed to carve out a niche and been paid enough to be happy, though.
Do you know if their wage is competitive?
Yeah, it is.
Well, I am paid enough to be happy
The friend who's been there since '99 is basically a lynchpin for that company.
It's the fact that I would be paid more that makes me unhappy I guess
So he's valued highly there.
I already earn above avg for a java dev in germany
The other friend is paid competitively and manages a bunch of stuff now.
But both of them still mostly do developmeny.
Er, development.
It's also the comparing with coworkers and kinda knowing what they get that's bad
On the last big project (that was a total shit show) I basically worked for 3, because the other two where useless
Yeah it's a tricky thing.
Actual connection request I got today:
Came across your profile and wanted to reach out as I see we're both working to enable data teams. Would be great to connect with someone like-minded because I have so questions to share
Like idk how to break it to this dude that I only work here cause I get paid
Haha
I had to go "ye ye go write unit tests" so that they don't fuck with my shit, cause when I would assign them an issue to implement I just couldn't rely on that it's done right and doesnt break the second you look at it funny
Yeah, that's a tricky thing. Gotta be careful, though. If you come across as someone who thinks they're better than everyone else then people don't like working with you.
People want to work with skilled folks.
Easiest way to do that is not be an asshole
I've worked with a ton of mediocre folks who were super nice.
And super good folks who were kind of dicks.
And I'd take the former every day.
I've never worked with anyone who was actually super good and also an asshole
Haha me either.
Only people that thought they were good
A coworker of mine, she's a year younger and did the same as I did. She gets even more xing requests than I cause she's a woman, but she felt like she needs to answer every request ๐
Everyone I've worked with that was truly good enough to be a dick was not.
Although one dude was kind of a dick in private but was smart enough to not be a dick outwardly in public.
So he'd shit talk everyone to me, which was kinda amusing, but then he'd be nice and understanding.
So I guess that's the balance maybe.
Anyone I've known that's actually good has been a nice person, because the ability to communicate well and work well with others people in a team is a core skill. If you can code in circles around everyone else all day long but can't communicate well and work well on a team then you're useless
I like to think I am a decent person, I very well know where my limitations are and that I am not the smartest person in the room. It's my way of thinking that makes e a good developer, the absence of fear to get my hands dirty (smth minecraft taught me) not my intelligence, that's avg at best
You have to interact with people or have others working on it, too.
At some point. Eventually.
Being tenacious and willing to learn is like 90% of it, IMO.
Most of the best, most successful folks I know were not the smartest person in the room.
We got one guy in a critical development position on a central server that's kinda a dick, but it's quite funny, after I few months I basically earned his respect and now we get along nicely
And I know lots of smart people who are eating old sandwiches for dinner because they aren't successful at all.
I don't think he's a dick, he's just tired of working with idiots I guess
Not that success == money, but you know what I mean.
Mmm sandwiches
I'm not very smart, but I am humble enough to ask questions and admit when I don't know the answer, and I'm willing to put the time and energy in to figure stuff out, and find out who to ask when I don't know. That's what makes me a valuable developer
Absolutely
Along the way sometimes I fool people into thinking I'm really smart, and I'll take it lol
:)
That's what I try to teach my apprentices: go ask, always! But only ask after you tried to find the answer yourself. Being able to ask for help is a skill. Some of them think like I am some sort of God, because I am able to solve their problems in seconds, what they don't see is that I solved that exact problems 100 times the last 10 years so it's burned into my mind after having to try hard for the first 50 times or whatever. That's what I tell them
Nothing worse than an apprentice sitting around cause he can't solve a problem but is too afraid to ask for help
Of course that doesn't apply here. I'm on the core team cause I'm smarter than all of you
(just kidding, it's because I'm a bigger Taylor swift fan)
I apologize for not bowing earlier.
Thankfully we don't have titles like senior and junior here, I feel that further creates anxiety to ask questions
What's "no table"?
@cedar spade mmm pizza
Ppl that sacrificed their table for a higher rank in the user list
Eh, it goes both ways. Promoting a junior dev can be a huge morale boost (along with the raise) and it can be a nice reward to show that their work to grow themselves has been noticed
(remove the space)
Haha
A job with no structure also has no room for career growth
I sold Trent a ticket to Minecon and then high fived when I gave it to him.
Also other companies expect to see titles like that so it can be confusing
Fucking hell that was forever ago.
I think the whole title thing generally isn't so widely used here
2013 apparently
I like companies that have job titles that they actually understand and respect, or none at all. My last company had job titles and structure but all the executives (the highest paid people with the biggest titles) constantly said how much they don't care about titles
I grow by learning new skills, solving different kind of problems, doing different kind of projects
Like cool, the guy who gets paid the most doesn't care about titles
Turns out those who are at the bottom getting paid the least care a whole lot fucking more
Yeah, you gotta be careful with that.
@vernal moth I'm talking about career growth, growing salary and responsibilities etc
I've worked with one place who had a "flat hierarchy".
They said "we don't have a structure"
And I'm like "in the absence of structure, structure gets created for you" Which is what happened.
It was an organizational nightmare.
But in general the no title thing works, as long as there's still some organizational structure to make sure people know what they're doing.
Otherwise psychopaths take over.
And, yeah, the title thing can be tricky when you switch companies.
If you work somewhere and your title doesn't translate to a "Senior" role which is what you'd switch into it can be tough on the resume or in negotiations.
My responsibility grows automatically here, my lead basically asks me if I wanna do X next. Wage here is a discussion with the lead to, which then goes thru HR. If your lead can argue why you should get paid more, HR will allocate part of the yearly promotion budget
I think the way my current company handles titles works well. They do have titles which correspond to compensation (salary) but effect almost nothing past that. But the key thing is they are quick and happy to promote people, which helps keep morale high and shows people their hard work has been noticed etc.
Does everyone with the same title get the same salary?
If the people aren't awful.
Same salary range
Exact salary depends on the offer you got and how good of a position you were in to negotiate
I worked at one company where there was a merger and then re-org and they had a lot of weird caps on salaries and stuff.
But a bunch of people were already making X in their current role.
Years of work + Title + Random(100-200).
So the new org made them all "Directors"
So suddenly there were like 30 fucking Director of X, Director of Y.
And then the requirement was that those Directors needed 5 people to report to them.
There was this huge shitshow of titles, restructuring, juggling, etc.
I'll see what the talk with my boss will bring, I got more stuff to complain formally about than just money
I'm like man shouldn't they just increase their salary ranges? Wouldn't that be easier?
The hardware situation for devs here is a joke, lmao
Unsurprisingly that company is pretty fucked now.
Ha!
A client just shipped me a new laptop.
Which I get tomorrow.
Hardware is key.
I got a 2 core 6th gen i5 from the U series
But titles are important for me because titles matter to other companies and that effects your salary levels when looking for other jobs. From my experience that's usually about all it effects, once you're in the job it doesn't matter. But if I'm doing senior level work you can bet your ass I expect a senior title because that effects my career and salary in the future
At least it got HT, but that's about it
And 32gb ram, which is useless if the cpu gives up when I have ide and screen sharing open
And the opposite is true, too. Some places have ludicrous titles for crappy folks. But usually people clue into that fast and they know not to hire them in equivalent roles.
I have a 2019 16" mbp and apparently they refresh ours machines on like a 2 year or so basis
Yeah I'm pretty sure the box they sent is a 16" MBP.
And yeah 32GB 8 core i9
But I'm not entirely sure.
Oh yeah demon, if I would switch to a company that has titles I would make sure I get one that feels fair to me, wage, experience and skills wise
At least we had RDP to virtualized workstations for trashcan laptops.
Thankfully in germany there is a giant need for good devs so I can easily ask for stuff and choose
That was not fun.
what kinda funny business is going on in here
Money.
We're talking about pancakes.
Oh we experimenting with virtualized workstations here too now
I should learn german on duolingo and move there
Haha
Virtualized workstations are the bane of my existence
I refuse to ever use that ever again
It's a pain in the ass.
Don't forget, german dev wage = us dev wage / 2
I will walk away from a job that makes me do that
watches DemonWav unpack his bags
Oh really? Okay nevermind I'll stay here
:)
It's mostly like that in all of the EU it think?
Imagine paying taxes, health insurance and your retirement fund.
Guess demand isn't that high lolol
Heh I live in the SF Bay Area, so demand is nuts here.
People fresh out of school making crazy money. But the cost of living is so high it basically normalizes until you get at a higher level.
Ha.
Moving back to Oklahoma next year
This place fucking sucks
But yeah, I'll tell my boss that if I don't get more money again, better hardware and stop having to do projects on my I'll go search for something new next year
why demon?
It's not my favorite place, Demon.
I live 1.5 hrs north of SF
I'm in San Mateo, which is a little better because it's outside the city. So it's a bit quieter.
But I'm mostly here because my lady's job has her not able to leave.
I pay $3000 per month for a 1br apt. In OKC I was paying less than $1000 for the same quality and size apartment
Otherwise I'd probably move.
ah yeah, housing costs are nuts
Also it's incredibly fucking crowded here compared to where I'm from, I hate it
With remote work finally being normalized, living inside cities is kinda stupid
How long have you been there, Demon?
I moved here in jan
@vernal moth I think once the pandemic chills out then a lot of people are going to nix the remote stuff.
Right before covid locked everything down
But we'll see.
Ahh yeah.
I moved not long after that, Demon.
So we're in a similar boat.
Like, I wouldn't have an issue moving outside, then commuting once a week into office
I'm still in sticker shock a bit
Good morning, I have a question as to which processor to use on my server, could you help me? I'm between an 8c/16th 2.0GHz Xeon and a 3.7Ghz Xeon 4c/8th Both have similar prices, which one do you think would suit me? thank you for your help
Single core speed is better
I already have the go-ahead to work remote so I'm just going to go back to where all my friends and family live
@novel steppe what are the CPU models?
My company is cool enough to not change my salary after I move
I've been fully remote anyways since March
@novel steppe what are the CPU models?
@coarse lily Xeon D-1540 or Xeon E5-1630 v3
I think once the pandemic chills out then a lot of people are going to nix the remote stuff.
If a company doesn't offer me at least 2 or 3 Home-Office days, I just wouldn't work for them then
(per week)
1630v3 is pretty solid.
If the cost were the same I might go with that. It should be newer arch and likely have faster RAM.
But for significantly less per month than I'm paying for an apartment in san jose I'll be able to buy a house in Oklahoma
Biggest thing I'll miss here is 3 Bees coffee in san mateo
I hope they're still doing okay
Hm is that good coffee/
At any rate I'd go 1630v3.
@coarse lily Because? I have a number of 50 users on my server and the tps go down to 15-14 you think I would do well?
I don't drink coffee but she does.
@novel steppe Too many factors to say for sure on your tps.
The owner is a really cool dude, from italy, he's basically watched silicon valley grow around him
But the 1630v3 should perform better.
He told me about how the original owners of youtube would come in every day and when they sold to Google they brought him a bottle of champagne
How good of a job is cali/the US doing in carying local business thru this pandemic?
Once the pandemic is over I hope I'll get to go back and chat with him again
@vernal moth kind of terrible but also not bad because no one here believes the pandemic is real so they just go about their normal lives anyways
Heh
A lot of CA is handling it poorly.
I've been doing a ton of food delivery from local places
I only knew the area around san mateo where I worked, 10 minute walk from caltrain
So I barely saw any of it
I don't know very much of it.
hey, well at least Gavin Newsom (CA governor) is doing his part by literally doing the exact opposite of what he is telling everyone else to do ๐
I haven't explored much other than right around the house.
But it's pushing 1AM and I should get some sleep.
G'night folks.
Gn8, thanks for the chat
Guess you guys going to bed means I should get my ass out of it ๐
I have today off, gonna see if I can take a look at stuff for paperweight
Also gotta finish MiniMessage I guess
hangar ๐
Mostly just color inheritance for templates is broken
I know like nothing about paperweight. should look into that
I need to get the at PR merged
Paperweight is a giant rabbit hole, as all mapping projects are, but I think I understand all parts now
Then I can focus on generating param name mappings
Paperweight is turning out much better than I ever expected it to lol
It definitely has a very high entry point in terms of knowledge required
Jake did you look at my toothpick project before? That was somebody else I think
It's basically that, but done by somebody who knows gralde, lmao
no, I don't think I did.
Waht ?????????????
Also with lots of fixes in lorenz and mercury and other cadix projects lol
I can't take credit for all of that though
Well that I did too when working on toothpick
Altho I would have never been able to handle merging like you did
My merging was a mess
Spigots mappings are such a mess
The merge system was probably my biggest contribution to the whole thing other than the paperweight project itself
God it's so bad
Idk why md_5 chooses to continue to do things like he does
Should have at least introduced packages at some point
another reason a hard break would be sweet.
can forget entirely about spigot mappings
Yeah the spigot backwards compat parts of paperweight is the slowest part of the proecess
Which like... Big surprise lol
We can't, we would still obfuscate our output jar using spigot mappings for nms compat
I like how I can say obfuscate using spigot mappings and not even being wrong ๐
If we ever broke so hard as to break nms compat too then, while awesome, it would mean Spigot probably doesn't exist anymore
Cause there's hard breaking, and then there's intentionally choosing to break nms plugins
if we were breaking from spigot, why wouldn't paper do its own nms mappings
Those are definitely different levels of breakage
We want to break from spigot, we don't want to break 100% of plugins just because
Cause people everywhere are running servers with plugins they've been using for 5 years and haven't updated once
I'm all for a deprecation cycle but we have to be smart about it
The ideal thing to happen would be a gradual migration to mojang mappings using our tooling, like using paperweight in a plugin project
Or well, no, ideal thing is everybody stopped using all internals, lol
Rosetta 3 will be our backwards compat plugin rewriter lol
lol
As long as you don't introduce that complexity into the server but patch plugins using a seperate tool that might be a good way forward
I don't exactly understand what paperweight does - is it just temporary adding mappings for dev time which are dropped later? At least that's what I figured as a gradle plugin or something.
But even plugins which only use APIs would still break if we started deprecating things - which we absolutely want to do
So we'd have to like deprecate stuff and remove it in the next version, or maybe even the version after and have lots of yelling in the logs about the deprecated API ussge. It'll take a lot of patience
Paperweight is also able to automatically remap all out paper patches, something we did manually in the past
Yeah, api governance needs patience
Is there a reason why not make it generate obfhelpers for all of the function names using some mapping? I understand you can't do that for fields in Java, but it'd at least be a step forwards.
paperweight also generates the mappings we use, since we have to do a lot of things to figure out what mappings we even need
Omg that would be horrible
Probably a stupid question :)
Oh, right.
We also want to be more independent of spigot mappings
The process of even coming up with the mappings we use in the first place is very complex
Yeah
Also generating tens of thousands of obfhelpers would not make the code easier to use
When we got patches in mojang mappings, I wanna try spend a weekend on trying to apply all that to a vanilla server jar and see what happens
Which is the end goal here
Like to a snapshot
Do you rather have 300 options in one file or 100 options in 3 files each?
We could remap craftbukkit patches in 1 go because they are diff patches
Idk, could prolly be reordered at some point but that's not really a priority
I wonder if that would be a way for us to test out snapshots...remap the spigot base and generate diff patches so it's 1 patch per file
That basically was my idea
Yeah that could probably work
Diff remapped spigot against vanilla, try to apply to snapshot
Git patches can be annoying cause it's all or nothing
At least with diff you could work through it one at a time
But yeah, that's gonna have to wait till paperweight is "done"
If we ever moved away from using nms at runtime tho we'd probably use yarn mappings - I think the license for mojmap only allows for use at dev time
Could be wrong tho
Could still check that with mojang
We talking years for that anyways, might be in a different position then
But reobf is easy regardless of the mappings we use
Remapping bytecode is extremely stable
Yeah for sure
I am still surprised how good mercury works
I'm amazed at how fast it is
Idk how minecrell did it
I never imaged we'd have working source remapping when I started this project
Original goal, and original impl, was to compile spigot, remap that, and decompile again, losing all comments and generally everything else
It was a mess to say the least
Mercury really saved the day
Yeah

My Moscow Bali flight was 14 hours and that was already torture
@vernal moth ez, meet in bali?
Cheap alcohol and just get some anti-diarrhoea & anti-nausea pills, and you're good to go.
I just got my Xmas bonus, I can buy the good stuff now ๐
Man, Bali was 2 years ago, time flies man
@viral hornet ๐ฅบ
@viral hornet i sleep now gn
I'm hoping to go to bali this next summer if covid is finally going away by then. Was going this last summer but cancelled @vernal moth
it was nice
but honestly, not sure if I would go again, the flight is just not worth it to do it twice
I can have a nice vacation closer to me, or go to new places that are that far away

gonna upload on jcenter
k imma upload rn wait a bit
im adding javadoc tho

Use it as you want. MIT license
(This is not an plugin. you have to include it in your jar
thanks ๐
I was using this before https://github.com/aikar/TaskChain/wiki/usage
which requires chains, which makes passing around objects meh
and aborting and exception handling etc
mine has more features & easy to use
you can use #pause(milliseconds) to execute time-taking tasks
yeah I saw the internal scheduler
Tasks.sync(task->{
while(true) {
task.pause(15); //this gonna take 15 milliseconds at most to process

It's the hot wine they give you on Xmas markets
Where you don't notice the alc till it's too late ๐
It's the hot wine you buy at overpriced, overfilled, cold and wet xmas markets
And I love that
Not this year tho :/

Where are my traditions?!?!
now its reduced to the tradition of getting drunk alone at home

firmware update kekw
Don't blame me, I "accidently" brought one, then I saw that it doesn't work without a gateway, so I had to get that, but you also need a remote, and then I saw a pack that had remote and bulb so I have 3 bulbs now ๐
They even integrate nicely into google home
I can now say "ey google, turn the Xmas tree red" ๐
Totally worth the idk how many euro I spend on all that shit
I don't want to count
hah, they make you buy one thing so you buy all the crap you need for it too
10/10 marketing
It's all cheap tho
Compared to other stuff
And it's not cloud the way I see this
Google only talks to my gateway
So it wouldn't work outside my wifi?
Idk
I have way too many of those bulbs
But why tf did you put them on your xmas tree
And why tf do you have an xmas tree in mid november
oh LOL
you dare underestimate the xmas tree
@mossy vessel mid November is pretty late to some peoples standards 
Mine barely lasts more than 4 weeks
So if I get one now I'd need to renew them before xmas
yeah i dont even have space for a real tree
We don't have real christmas trees here ๐
Does anti-xray work async or is it processed in the main processor thread?
its processed when sending chunks
the performance impact is not noticeable, which is why it is so superior to plugin based solutions
Of course, it is better than from plugins.
I have 4 processor cores on the server 1 loaded at 100% 3 at 20-30% I do not know if I should put anti-xray.
anti-xray is async and multithreaded
Huge thank you!
See for instance https://github.com/PaperMC/Paper/blob/master/Spigot-Server-Patches/0362-Anti-Xray.patch#L270 where executor is the server thread pool. The main thread doesn't wait until the packet is finished. The chunk packet and subsequent packets are sent later when it's finished.
yeah i dont even have space for a real tree

hopefuly 12 GB of RAM is enough for a 1-5 person server
Gm gamers
@potent fossil wtf rude :/

looks like a 10 minute sleep did the trick
who be sleeping
generates the chunk, then gives the server time to gc n' stuff https://timings.aikar.co/?id=4d2d085e61874bf19a19da942948f73e c:
Aikar's Timings Viewer - View Timings v2 reports from Paper and Sponge
the thing you sent could do with a bit more RAM lol
you were online last night but not last morning
thats a sick commit bro
robomwm stinky
so slow it doesn't even printed anything for a while
california is also on the rise
June -> October = Stable as fuck
November = douchebags in grocery stores not wearing masks all of a sudden
I'm suspicious its related to Trump being a baby about his loss but I can't be certain
everybody seems to think covid is over
well, not everybody, but a large amount of people
definitely a majority
the only major event that happened in November here is the election where Trump doesn't take COVID seriously at all
The numbers are going up in most parts of the world, I don't think you can pinpoint it to a specific reason other than people not being as careful as a few months ago
we had a county chairmen go on news and say obeying stay at home / small gathering orders was equivalent to being treated as second rate slaves
are they spiking like this though?
hello aurora
HAI PROXI :D
somewhere was apparently claiming for people to wear masks in their own homes :L
look at austria
HAI CAT :D
hewwo proowoxy
Everybody is spiking
(thats new cases, not total cases)
HAI MARTIN :D
I ran out of masks today so I had to went out without one
HAI NOTMYFAULT :D
someone is excited
I don't get it, why does it start spiking everywhere around the globe at the same time
nmf don't you have a reusable mask by now
YIS AURORA I IS UWU
@mossy vessel I just reuse the disposable ones
I think it's a massively nuanced issue, especially with the people in charge being useless and hypocritical, it kills the very little trust left, especially when we're like, 7 months in being told that we're not even gonna have christmas and seeing your friends is literally the worse thing you can do, but, hey, pack yourself on busses and trains like little sardines in a tin on the way to work because we don't wanna pay people to twiddle their thumbs at home
I do the same, but actually after some time I dispose them as well.
OK BAI :D
reuse the disposable ones
And I don't want to wash my mask.
So, you basically negate the use of them?
Still better than not using one cat
Actually, studies question that one
You provide a breeding ground for bacteria
and then shove the petri-dish over your cake hole
a petri dish of my own bacteria, I only use them 2-3x before swapping to a new one
and I'm using them for like 10-30 mins at a time not wearing them long term
and any bacteria which gets deposited on the mask from surfaces which you touch, and people who splutter out while you're around them, and "my bacteria" is not good
who knows, you have a marginal viral payload of covid, not enough to attac, but, enough to start going on a petri-dish
can viruses survive that long outside of a body? Like I get the bacteria and fungus growth, but virus?
Oh good
Somebody shared a screenshot oh a zoom meeting of EU defence politicans
And ppl guessed the last number of the pin and got in
gotta love itsec being taken seriously
I reuse my disposable if i never exposed myself to risk i nthe store in first place, ie never stood near anyone. but if have to be near anyone or go into super dangerous places like walmart, yeah no reuse
walmarts like the riskiest fucking place to go now
fred meyers is hella sketch too
was already bad pre covid
yes
overpriced grocery stores are actually the safest right now
Funny Pictures of People Shopping at Walmart
the middle class people tend to take covid more seriously
lmao @vernal moth
yeah I shop at Harris Teeter and ive seen one maskless person at the Starbucks at the front of the store just once
could you imagine the damage that could be done there mini
if someone joined quietly and just listened
Yep
new seasons is pretty safe, same with whole foods
their prices are ridiculous though
Which is why I don't guess why they are fucking using zoom
yeah HT you gotta get shit on sale, HT is either over priced or really good deal
Like surely they have dum shit like cisco webex
Mini, you're an idiot
ok umm i accidentally overwrote /etc/locale.gen while installing arch. Is that much of an issue?
buy 2 get 3 free ends up being massive savings on lot of products
You'd think that the people working on laws and stuff to protect the country have any idea of the tech in play that they're using and overseeing?
Safeway basically mugs you if you aren't in their club
I mean, that falls further into play
you'd think that they'd be capable of blacklisting tech which is unsecure
or at least putting it behind some kind of vpn required to access the site :p
My company blocks zoom
and these are the people who make laws and regulations over tech and other critical security aspects
bahahahhaaaa... breaks down in tears
I learned Zoom actually has some impressive features recently for calls with 20+ people
Politicans don't really make laws, that would be a fucking mess
Industry and experts do
I mean, some of those politicians are also seriously thinking about getting rid of end-to-end-encryption, to improve security
so yeah, competence
i forget how it all works but they all shake each other off
by the hand, I mean
We talked about that yesterday, I understand the frustration police and stuff have with encryption, makes their job a whole lot harder
why block zoom? man im so fucking happy to have zoom over webex
lol
We use on premise skype for business right now, next year teams tho
I mean, zoom was known to have huge gaping security issues?
eh, thats a stretch
We talked about that yesterday, I understand the frustration police and stuff have with encryption, makes their job a whole lot harder
Yeah, but if you add master keys, criminals will just use messengers that don't have these master keys, making it even harder
have you guys seen those ROM reverse engineering projects where they rewrite functions in c/c++ in a decompiled ROM and have it match the ASM of the ROM
that doesn't sound fun, imagine having to write a function similarly to some overworked dev on crunch with no sleep was doing
"Friday, Nov. 6: Zoom keystroke snooping
Researchers in Texas and Oklahoma discovered that it's possible to tell what someone is typing during a Zoom call just by watching their shoulders and arms. "
lol thats cool but not exactly a zoom problem
police can still just monitor the devices directly if they have a court order that allows that. there is zero reason to threaten the security and privacy of every user lol
I mean, yea, that ones dumb
I mean, you can also know what people are typing from their microphone
but stuff like zoom bombing is hardly new
most of zooms complaints has been around the debacle of end to end, and zoom bombing
the zoom bombing wasnt really any different than any other video provider that allows unauthenticated non org members in even such as google meet, just zooms meeting ids are easier to discover valid ones
I mean
Zoom literally states that the platform shouldn't be used for government stuff
So, the fact that they'd use it for government stuff, especially potentially highly secure government stuff...
Qtips state not to put them in your ear
that EU meeting wasn't zoom
My only issue with Zoom is that it feels kinda bad. idk, the UI is not great, the video and sound quality is meh and screen sharing always has issues
thats to get them out of legal trouble afaik
Had some good experience with Microsoft Teams, that seems pretty good
isnt video/sound quality based on... your/their I/o?
Not always
My only issue with Zoom is that it feels kinda bad. idk, the UI is not great, the video and sound quality is meh and screen sharing always has issues
@worthy geode maybe your connection is bad and or participants have bad gear
it's just https://www.pexip.com/
Idk, got a 250 mbits connection, that should not be the problem
theirs could be bad too
Many platforms like that will kill off a/v quality with encoding or throttling
Do you need 1080p for a student in a classroom? etc
for classes we use Microsoft Teams and BigBlueButton (which is some open source thing designed for learning, kinda cool i guess)
well, "use for govt stuff" would mean private meetings with classified info
I havenโt seen bad quality and Iโve been in zoom calls with 10 people
but if its a public meeting you WANT the public to see, no harm there
ive had a zoom call with 100 people before with no noticeable bad things
and yeah zoom handles bulk well. if everyone but presenter turns off video. but they also have webinar type uses too that forces the big presentation behavior
ie participants cant show video and has to raise hand to talk
Thereโs also the chat
oh yeah, my dad uses that for his work (and has been long before the pandemic)
Yeah, that webinar thing is nice
Iโve seen the chat used to ask for speaking rights
yeah webinar has Q&A
its overall a nice app, my entire team has been happy with it.
we were on it pre covid too
It works way better than Skype
I have seen that webinar feature used for online science conventions as well. Q&A is nice for things like that
dont diss my boy
๐ข
and i have to give them credit that they scaled up in response to covid pretty fucking smooth
It works way better than Skype
thats not really hard tho
i said dont DISS
sKyPe BaD!
๐ก
normally a small business would be crushed in such a rapid growth
they also ramped up those security fixes too
personally i havent used it in months though
Discord also grew quite a lot, but they are probably not a small business anymore
sadly
Skype used to feel straightforward and simple and now its UI is a mess
i dont think it's any less straightforward but is pretty messy
least there's a dark mode
I'm comparing it to the Skype of 9 years ago in my mind
I only used the web app ever, because that desktop client was so invasive and annoying, idk
There's "Recent Chats" which range from 2017-july of this year for me. Then there's "Chats" which range from July to every other chat ive had
oh nvm im dumb, it's favorites
that's one thing skype has, favoriting/pinning convos , cant wait for discord to yoink that
glances at Ripcord's favorites
normally a small business would be crushed in such a rapid growth
@slim nymph at my GFs previous job I watched her CEO fail horribly at scaling their company, it was painful to watch, tried to do everything himself but couldn't and didn't want any help, it was a train wreck
well why was the CEO scaling instead of the CTO/engineers?
Atleast they added server folders, that was a really good change
he didn't have any proper staff
oh so he was the CTO too lol
the only person with power similar to him was my GF and she was officially a customer service rep
giving us a way to pin certain channels/convos on the home screen of discord would be a major improvement to its usability lol
company had like 30 employees and was growing
i want fucking custom user style sheets
they had tech giants for customers regularly
i wanna trim the damn padding on channel list
just use stylus?
I mean, its just a webapp, custom style sheets can't be that hard
oh, you use the client
I worked on their in house app and it was a goddamn mess made by some russian dude they weren't in contact with any more
you could probably get extensions running in electron in some way lol
could just create a simple one-page-app with the web client xD
ripcord runs on linux too btw ;)
I would ask him what he wanted me to change or fix on the app and he would literally say "Ask Emily what she thinks" (Emily being my GF) and I was like yeah okay this is weird, Emily didn't even know how to use the app, in fact he barely knew how to operate the app
as does 6cord
I mean, there are things like BetterDiscord that add custom css
https://gist.github.com/ObserverOfTime/d7e60eb9aa7fe837545c8cb77cf31172 can confirm it's absolutely not possible to install BD on linux
Maybe this works on linux? https://github.com/leovoel/BeautifulDiscord
Its just a css loader script
In August, it still worked, if I read the issues correctly
had an update 1 month ago
can't you technically just open the developer console of electron and add css that way? xD
I mean, its just changing discord css file, which are not even compressed or anything, I doubt it breaks easily
issue is more that discord obfuscates their CSS iirc
I mean, Ctrl+Shift+I, yes
yeah, evidently the gist i sent does not install bd for you, dunno, dont have discord on my linux laptop
But I don't think it saves if you modify it using the dev tools

if you need to ask that you probably don't want to run arch ๐
i dont want to
if you managed to install arch surely you are on their wiki already
just go read their java page
ok
Many multi-communicator clients like Rambox and Ferdi allow you to inject custom JS and CSS. So you could style it.
if you need to ask that you probably don't want to run arch ๐
@phoenix616 i think that arch with only the things i need is faster than ubuntu desktop
probably not faster in a meaningful way for minecraft
are you using arch for mc servers or what
You shouldn't use Arch for any kind of server.
using arch for a server is def ballsy
unless you know what you're doing and it's not running in production for anything mission critical
I mean, by that logic Void Linux would be faster ๐
If it's for personal use, it's fine.
If you don't know how to install 64 bit Java, you might not know what you're doing :)
im testing ubuntu server vs arch right now, checking tps and stuff
if you want a faster MC server its more worth your time to just spend money on better hardware than using something like arch which I don't even think would offer any meaningful performance benefits for a MC server over debian
Just use debian/ubuntu server. It's really not worth using Arch.
I mean, arch is doing the same thing as ubuntu just packing stuff differently
if you really wanted to skim performance out of hardware, you'd be better off using manjaro, but, bahahahaaa...
isn't manjaro arch based
since im on ubuntu desktop, not ubuntu server im planning on moving my mc server
oooh do tell
I forgot, Manjaro is the one which is for people too dumb to install arch use
Anonymously-posted copy of another
Introduction
Manjaro is a Linux distribution based on the Arch Linux distribution. It focuses on accessibility, friendliness and stability.
However, there has been several major controversies regarding Manjaro over the years. This gist is aimed to address all kn...
they install some chinese office suite too now
@visual egret just use ubuntu/debian LTS for your server, you want easy and maintainable not difficult and unstable
ok then
only place you're gonna see gains is if you jumped from a dated distro or if you go to compile everything involved with running the server for your specific CPU, but, the time involved in doing that for the likely negligible gains, meh
and there was another controversy like 2 months ago because they fired someone responsible for their finances because the manjaro founder or something wanted a personal laptop and it was rejected idk
It also brings into light that the project head tried to censor Jonathon, This forum thread got unlisted by Philip Mรผller, then relisted by moderator @cscs, then unlisted again and @cscs was demoted from being a moderator.
3 months later and well surprise surprise
not familiar with those named people
manjaro's forums has had to reset, old data not available
philip muller is the lead or something idk
surely it can't be hard to just make a good product without controversy
if you just want an ez install, use one of the scripts, they're about as supported as manjaro but much more configurable
ofc, the joys of arch is setting it up yourself, however
or use endeavouros
I put manjaro on USB but haven't installed it months ago, I'm technically tri-booting atm with Fedora/Arch/Windows
I use Fedora for work because I kept breaking shit in Arch being a dingus
i mean i already have it insstalled on a VM

is the VM emulating nvidia gpu? 
better off installing gpu drivers onto the host itself
GPU manf drivers generally bust OS booting on machines without that hardware available
it's all fun
why do you need gpu drivers on a server anyways kind of defeats the purpose of going as slim as possible
anyways, for better MC performance just install better CPU
arch isn't going to help
^ i have 2 laptops that are too slow for normal use, have no batteries, and imgetting a macbook soon
so im using the laptops
"too slow for normal use" usually means way too slow for a server lol
yeah MC is one of the most demanding things to run
due to its excellent code 
ubuntu desktop has about 18+ tps with 3 players on an smp server
with a pretty big map
about 20k blocks in radius
try looking at your timings and seeing whats hurting your TPS
maybe its the dinosaur laptop running the server
I mean, its 3 players. You can run that on a raspberry just fine
maybe its maybeline
See, the issue with "too slow for normal use", is that you're gonna try running a server on there, it's going to be a crap experience, and you're gonna run in here consistelty with stupid questions over stupid issues like your hardware being crap
@worthy geode i use that for a few smaller servers, the pi started lagging after 1+ players
I mean, such as ignoring the 200 times it's been discussed that the size of a world is irrelevant, as the entire world isn't just magically loaded at once.
if you pre-gen on a pie and configure it properly, you can get a handful of players on there, but, it's a slow ass budget bin computer
that just causes chunk loading
Which have 0 impact on the side of the world.
irrelevant to map size
And, yea, once again: slow ass budget bin computer
have you looked at your timings, maybe you just have some plugin crippling your dinosaur pc
"ehy google, turn on the couch light" "ok, lets turn on the Couch!"
Also, tfw you start a movie, hear german voices, scream at netflix for changing the lang again until you realize it's a Nazi movie ๐
if ur using a trash computer to run ur serbur u gotta b in it 4 memes only
Pie server
trash pc under college dorm bed that "entire IT staff plays on bc its so good" server
pi vs Pentium 4

in that case I'd put money on the Pi winning ๐
The Pi 4 should win in that case.
starting up an old server be like:
Just finished watching the reunion of the fresh price cast
Uncle Phil is gone :(
@visual egret stop running outdated builds, that is fixed
yeah i clarified old

having do not ping in the name
only dumcordians
only
another good one is having ! in the beginning of the name
15 online right now of that type, robo
Yeah I hate that. I always change their usernames in the discord I moderate lol
Only reason I have one is because of kash
Thanks kash
use IRC that disallows them in the first place. ez.
tellin ya, dumcord is a mistake
stupid irc user can't see this edited message

they lack critical information
Smart of them to add bans now that it's 2020.
looks like that's bedrock only?
Interesting
permanent bans that extend to all versions of Minecraft (except Minecraft Dungeons)
Hmm.
Yeah that confused me
That PR basically says "We changed some stuff and we know the multiple version stuff is a nightmare but we aren't gonna fix it so we're gonna pretend it's all normal"
:)
@zealous knot 
no
If you have to ask, no
why would you
you're overcomplicating it
just get yourself an installation of debian 10 and throw on tmux + java on it
boom
Good luck getting hardware that actually still runs that.
Somehow Debian is still updated and working on Itanium.
Debian is the best.
run a Minecraft server on a Wii
@spare venture yeah are you doing astros playroom
its like a great showcase for it
my psn is nossr50 or nossr50@gmail.com if you wanna add me
can anyone test this library
cuz I don't have enough examples

plz read README.md
it's amazing if it works
i tested in some cases but I think it's not perfect yet
Already did the WII way back. There was a timings reports for it, but afaik it's gone now.
?
Talking to Tux.
oh sorry
