outside debugging
I mean, for all the PITA that arch can be, at least you know stuff is updated
thanks finally a working loging. So now i can see the error thanks.
is this error error connecting to /tmp/tmux-0/default (No such file or directory)
You either need to setup proper logging in your scripts or use -x. Since they are usually too small for that, I don't bother and log everything.
I use Debian btw.
2dum2arch ^
I like my OS stable.
I shouldn't say that
Lies, Arch doesn't have 10 years old bash.
how to sell drugs online fast s03 is out 
I mean, I primarily it it in VMs cos fuck running arch daily π
how can I sell michale online fast
shut up kenny go sell drugs you filthy german
and servers are ubuntu, well, the server itself is debian but huggles 'buntu VMs
alright which one of us is living in a nordic country now
Ubuntu 
It's like debian, but, you know, where they update shit, sometimes
i've got a few servers on ubuntu now for the more recent kernel sadge
debian 10 5.10 LTS though 
no bro
I think that distros these days are a whole crock of shit
see that's just one of the two issues
issue two is that my host doesn't offer debian yet
Like, the primary ones are often stuck so far back where you've either gotta piss around if you want something updated
or, then you've got ubuntu tryna fucking snap everything
How bro?
All distros are shit, because all OSes are shit.
new platform or something bro
they use https://maas.io/ so it says enough
and it's like, outside of the bleeding edge aspect, arch is actually one of the best distros out there
Oh God. I'm so glad I don't have to deal with MAAS anymore.
just use https://tinkerbell.org/ bro.
Especially since someone thought it's a good idea to use this Canonical product to install CentOS on the servers.
WTF
Okay, so
Not only do they have canonical "metal" shit
tries to remember all the attempts canon has done for this and tossed out the window
and then cent?!
I still can't decide whether to go back to Arch or stay on Void. Both annoy me...
fuckin' kek
I just need Linux 5.10 for eBPF Host routing bro.
Yea, I find that linux in general annoys me these days, tbqh
Like, for servers, it's the best their is
But, for a desktop? Am too old for that shit
Though I really like that I can run one command to dump all my installed packages, my groups and everything to my dotfiles repo, and then recreate it on other pcs.
I couldn't live with Windows if I had to use multiple machines.
yea, It's the horrors of it all
Like, I wouldn't wanna live on an OS without a package manager
the fact that even on macOS, I use brew, and can dump everything I've got installed into a file and carry it with me to a new machine or whatever
my shell configs are in a repo I can ez setup
shit just works, for the most part, and I can even take my shell with me to another OS, etc
I have scripts in my dotfiles repo that let me just backup crap > commit and push > pull > sync config from repo.
chunk manipulation exploit to make region files flagged by windows antivirus and wipe world when?
@mental meadow u r cute and loved and uwu
I wonder...
compression
@mental meadow do you have this in Austria?
?
day #51 of trying to get abs: no exercise because I AM SO TIRED lol
ive been doing that for 24 years why don't i have abs???
day #π½π© part 6 of trying to get abs: O-oooooooooo AAAAE-A-A-I-A-U- JO-oooooooooooo AAE-O-A-A-U-U-A- E-eee-ee-eee AAAAE-A-E-I-E-A-JO-ooo-oo-oo-oo EEEEO-A-AAA-AAAA

sad kezz today
noooo
have powercut >:(
lol wut
ikr - apparently it was a planned outage but we received zero warning
which is funny bc a few weeks ago we received warning for a powercut that never happened - quality infrastructure
its funny cuz pipi means piss in dutch
imagine speaking german tho
average papermc conversation
calculating pH is pain
no
uwu

well well well
school's having a valorant and krunker competition
interesting
i mean minecraft is paid
so yeah
high chance that a lot of people dont have it
too much of a hassle tbh
I just so happen to have been playing krunker for a long time lmao
just lick it
maybe he is, that's why it's painful π€
does anyone have a decent Jobs Reborn language file? :)
what?
don't they already have english language, what's bad about it or what's "decent language file" O_o
colors
the jobs reborn language file looks very very messy by default
as in the messages in chat are either white, green, orange, light green, cyan, blue or yellow.
and red ofcourse.
Why don't you customize it according to your "good" looks
π₯
potat
funny, there's chests and even christmas ones with ender chest π€
but that potato looks really weird
yeah that potato looks larger than it should be
well compared to the entire chest skins and such being on there
i mean even the texture of it seems like resource pack or smth, or is it really a default potato
everything else is trash in offlane
no u
im sorry to interrupt your conversation but any recommendations for bad piggies plugin?
bad piggies?
whip them
ANGRY BIRDS MOD WHEN
never hopefully
these
oh
yez
I would guess someone already created it but probably with command blocks
Reminder for DiscordBot: ask @CoffeeMan about his new fantastic not-summerhost
π
lol
decent
@turbid oar
@waxen panther
question...why are the nicks posted with spaces within IRC from the Discord bridge? it's rather messy
who knows the claim land plugin but use money if you want to claim land
MySQL Player Data Bridge π
is this the only plugin that allowed players using the same map in different server?
no
hi kash
thats not paper
Im making this server for me and my friend so we can get every advancement, is there a plugin that unlocks the achievement for both of us when only one of us gets it?
The lazy way would be to give it to the other player using the command, lol
I am not aware of any plugin that does this, however it would be trivial to do
this is not what he wants
Yeah I've thought about that, lol
Maybe somebody here is bored enough to write one
Have they even got the time stuff displaying properly on mobile yet? Last I saw it still was broken and that's a simple feature of displaying a timestamp...
We still doing it
you can google slaves in google and go to the shopping tab
buy one and tell him to constantly give everyone achievements
biorobots are awesome
Lol
Fixing things...
just dont break stuff

btw how trivial? what if several players are offline
.remind 1mo ask @turbid oar about his new fantastic not-summerhost
DiscordBot: Reminder set for 1 month from now.
Seem fine
Last time I looked it was displaying the relative ones as non-relative. So "July 26" instead of "1 day ago"
how what where
winless
Not this discord π
These were mostly pos5, a few pos4

which discord I am curious
I try, I try hard π¦
If I would be able to say I would
thats why i play offlane, dont need to worry about carrying the game, but can still make plays if needed
also i cant farm for shit
I can't create one here
I feel that I shouldn't be getting more networth than our carries, and I don't ever steal farm, and yet...
Not working for me either JRoy
Nor my private discord
weird
But this one discord it works
hmm, i usually just pull, bully their offlane and then fuck off to other lanes
I hate Discord rolling rollout ._.
@warm anchor 
Good AFTERNOON @minor badge !!
threads wen?
pls never
you are excused
I can think of one use case I'd want - pokemon go raiding coordination. That's it.
Do you know some plugin (like Authme) that allows login only for users that want it ? Let me explain better: If i connect to server, i will not be forced to login / register, until i register, then i will be forced.. Thanks
Yea Rope should be in discount today ...
ok
We will not provide help to anyone violating Mojang ToU or CUG
If you lucky it's an option in auth me
Did i say somewhere that i dont have online mode ? Its another layer of protection, this is why i dont want it forced.. Jesuus
Have you looked it it's an option in auth me?
Didnt find it

He does
But since we have MSA accounts now, login secruity shouldn't be needed
Cause your mc Account has MFA
Unless MSA doesn't let you require certain users to have MFA.
Right unless some of your players dont share accounts with other family members, which they dont trust sometimes
Medical Savings Account ?
MicroSoft Account account
Does it cost money to make new Microsoft account?
No. Only your soul.
Cool. It's fine. They gotta find my soul at Oracle HQ
You can make as many MSA as you want
Either using an existing email or by creating a new one
isnt it an HSA? a Health Savings Account?
I dunno I just googled "MSA"
typical mbax moment
HSA is just the government sponsored no?
or was that FSA oh it was FSA
.try
XP stopped being supported by Microsoft in 2014. There are kids playing on MC servers who were born after it lost support.
where's the best place to get help regarding client-side minecraft
and the fact I get many hundereds of [Render thread/INFO]: OpenGL debug message: id=2, source=API, type=ERROR, severity=HIGH, message='GL_INVALID_ENUM in glTexParameter(param=0x2900)' errors per second
Why does sulu have this cursed knowledge 
Any mods?
thanks for watching!! I hope it helped. Like and subscribe for more content!!
#openGL debug message, id=1282, source=API, type=ERROR, severity=HIGH, message=GL_INVALID_OPERATION error generated. Render buffer not bound.
Anyone have a decent fly speed based permission plugin?
A what
the faster your hackclient makes you fly, the more permissions you get 
Essentials has a command to change fly speed but I dont know if you can assign the permission for that
sulu: i guess irssi doesn't ignore the zero width spaces
or maybe I will have to enable it to
You mean EsSEX right?
I want it so basic perm groups can do fly .5 maybe than the next group can max at 2 speed than third group can be 4 speed
Etc
Has anyone seen something like this
Nope
Are those lock under donor tier 
P2f
Pay 2 fart
Kinky
Not many server ally flys unless creative but yeah you will make your own
If only I could make my own ha ha ha

Any takers ?
Thanks I hate it.
btw. does paper have threads yet?
(or at least the option to enable it? I don't really get with what logic they are rolling that out)
iOS client literally shitted itself
Ye I see that too
10% of random server. Rolling rollout
Thanks I really hate it
Lol
I kinda want to enable it but the server I have the option on isn't really active lol
lol i got it in my friends discord
I am salty I donβt get it yet 
We have three boosts, when will it expire then?
Yea
so if you keep using them they don't expire
Thatβs what it said in the beta rollout in the discord developer portals
just create a bot to auto-post to threads 
3 days at lvl 1 boost and 1 week at lvl 2 boost
True
- PokΓ©mon go sharing location of stuff
- Trading channel with long CD (6 hours) on listing and allow thread for buyer and seller to discuss
Level 4 boost when
Auto arching is a setting
Or having these as 1 channel, and three threads
no thats not the point of threads
Can set it to 1 or 24 hours
threads are temporary


Archived threads are still searchable
Still shitting itself
what is a thread
Oh no
You created a thread using that I think
woooo anti-IRC chats
thank god
yes but you're still here
All the cool stuff is in #869638564269408358
Oh no oh no oh no
oh they want to make it available to everyone by the end of the week
oh god they're here!
I kinda like threads for the help channels but general and stuff flows pretty smoothly
I mean you can disable them per channel no?
All crypto talk gets banned into threads now
if we can enable them for paper-help and like enforce threads, 11/10
π
yeah DenWave we need roles for this lol or its gonna get out of hand.
the only way threads work is if you enforce it
Yup lol, more work for staff for sure but it is helpful for separating stuff out. I really only see it super useful for help chans but who knows. Maybe we'll see more good use in the coming days 
rip any Javacord based bot :S
they'll be fine within a week
I'll do what now
Oh yes lol
were threads added manually here?
God, I've been waiting for my doctor to see me for a long ass time now. Poor lads have a very problematic patient right now
or did a papermc mod add it
Tf
or is discord doing threads for a limited run of servers
They're doing a limited run, but staff have to activate it afaik?
paper meeting of minds
Yeah DenWav did something
so you are next? 
they are activating threads for 10% of servers each day until ~friday
lol
Paper Chan is CUTE!
thats 1 way of pushing an update
LOL
(or at least the possibility to enable it, the permission is not automatic)
Shes cursing out the front desk receptionists in full audibility of the entire office
This is some good entertainment

no lies on this Discord
Nice
Cant now
Oh she said sorry and now she's being calm again maybe it's almost my turn 30 minutes after my scheduled time 
Threads are normal channels yes
It's basically a subchannel
Are they still viewable on the list or do you have to view them from the parent channel or something
They are only in the list if you join them
That's how you view all
it's a separate permission
pretty big discord server you are running eternity
no idea how you create one though, haven't figured that one out yet xD
Is mpdb bad?
Hey @warm anchor start a public thread
Pern is under attack
Thanks
IM BACK
this is gonna be like Windows 11 first day those stupid windows 
I can't wait to create a window when windows 11 comes out
Thats the first thing I'm gonna do
@warm anchor try creating a private thread again
but i think thats fixed now
Nice
Now we just need some dragons to handle all the thread.
now paper is finally multithreaded /s
question for you guys
Good joke hit tweet
ni
Negative
no
π€¨
@waxen panther need you to test
feels like a subpar attempt from discord to satisfy the masses
Better than nothing π€·ββοΈ v1 is never the best
Threads to make threats
this is a multi million dollar company, they can afford to do better than a poor rip off of slack
paper discord staff is scrambling creating tons of garbage threads to test out permissions etc lol
Fair enough
π€¨
id have preferred a toggle that puts channels in slack mode or normal discord mode
Or have the area on the right where core team is and such and add a tab to switch from core team and.one you could stack up threads...yk
no
I don't really like Slack threads. I really liked RocketChat threads, because you can, for example, opt-in to view all messages from threads in the main chat if you want, just smaller font etc. Worked way better than I thought.
this thread thing is gonna be very good for help channels
@swift root enable them for everyone
I don't think so.
don't think so what
I'm going to "thread" a needle through the eyeball of whoever abuses this feature
I recommend doing the nail
how to I view threads from a channel?
There's a button in the top bar
oh, not for me? idk imma restart
ah yes, there we go
I think it's random. MOSS doesn't have it yet either.
MOSS is 10x syscraft size
I hate Discord 
yup time to move to guilded
IRC
guilded is weird
Off for the second pfizer
I'm going today too
Enjoy! β€οΈ
Why thank you mbax
i forgor
@minor badge how are you today?
The place near me has excess vaccines and nobody booked
i am good, thank you soup
So they're just saying pull up whenever
a little tired
@minor badge best proxi
That's understandable
Today is the first day I got a bit of a sun burn, considering I am already a week here I call that a win
I look like chalk no matter the amount of sun
Same. Either chalk or a red pepper
@ancient bolt no not in either
This might be the first vacation where I actually get another color other than the usual red
We can close the forum now btw
You don't really see that I got a taint but when I pull down my shorts or put down my watch it's really clear
lol they havent added the no permission to talk in thread on ios yet
so you just get a weird box that you can type in cant send with
Top right
whatβs a vacc department
Vac ban center
It's where you praise lord gaben and if he's feeling merciful you get an unban
ah
Anybody know a plugin that works like the lifesteal SMP (when you kill a player they loose a heart and you gain a heart) ?
suncream, bicycle helmet, sandals with socks is mandatory π©πͺ
Well, it was cloudy all day so we didn't do sun screen
But then it wasn't cloudy anymore and I was chilling in pool and now my shoulders are red
And I don't own sandals
Addiletten and tennis socks is where it's at!
no knee socks π¬
bruh
I'm two different colours right now. Arms and lower half of my legs are pretty tan, the rest of me is lily white
socks and sandals is neat and all, but if you like crocs and sandals, please feel free to slide into my dms at any time because I will marry you

you act like you talk like that though
wish eternity did π
π₯Ί

Now the real question is will you talk like that?
nah, the real question is how easy is it to break my WIP modmail plugin
imagine not using broccolai tickets
link source
hang on pushing 
Hey brocc do you like goblins
goblins?

How much brain damage do I have if I kind of enjoy getting needles
:L π
after getting my covid vaccine the thought of even getting another shot of any kind made me cringe super hard
the ones that pull blood are horrible, but the vaccine ones arent that bad
the ones that go in your spine are even worse
yum, spine juice
if you enjoy those, you need help
I like to feel the pain ded what's wrong with that
theres pain and theres mind shattering pain
i like getting needled π³
Step on me while I get the vaccine and put out a cigarette on the injection site
Nah those aren't bad either
does broccolai tickets have some kind of trust factor built into its player reporting system? thought so.
Last time I got blood taken was a surprise
She didn't warn me
Step on me π©
Attack on Titan moment

bad plugin then π
Well that was a fun doctor appointment
threads are a thing now?
Yes, limited roll out
somehow my 200 member server got threads, but my 1700 member server didn't. I wonder how it's given out
It seems random. Syscraft got it, MOSS did not. MOSS is 10x
What's syscraft's size? I thought it's pretty big
1300
weird, maybe 1500 limit?
well paper has it
probably is just random
they normally check if the servers snowflake ends in something and uses that
oh lol paper has it? where perms >:)
rip :(
They just give random users & servers access to preview features before properly releasing it
Itβs just like how they did with the profile features
anyone know an alternative to https://www.postman.com ?
insomnia
I use insomnia
Got my second poke
only thing I hate about it is how you have to type in a name any time you want a new request (that is, you want to keep the existing request around)
^^
intellij's http client is my preferred option, but is only convenient if it's already open
COVID vaccine?
Yes
i like postman too
@viscid wedge @viscid wedge
but i do find it a bit more clunky
@waxen panther @waxen panther
2nd one kicked my ass but it only lasted a day
i have both installed so i use whichever lul
My 20-something friend group got it a few hours back
they both kicked my ass for a day
1st one I was just a bit tired, but yea 2nd one ended me
my dad had all covid symtoms when he got his second lol
π¬
@warm anchor best enigma player confirmed?
I'm not worried
hm, interesting
Good luck
it looks decent
whats wrong with postman tho?
huh?
biggest reason I use insomnia over postman is it's easier to expand the response
havent paid a penny for postman?
postman the response window is always super small
then you haven't tried to make over 1000 requests in a month @worn ember
yeah no lol, i just use it to build requests and then use whatever app im building to do the requests instead
because afaics
@cosmic raft why not just use intellij's client?
intellij's client?
yes
is there a certain rev of paper that threading has been enabled?
lol
when the fuck did afaics become an acronym lol
you can test it out by just creating an http scratch file
but I have a requests project i use
insomnia is pretty similar to postman and doesnt have a limit iirc
yea except it doesn't have "fields" for query params etc
Is that macOS
postman is nice for that
yes
The San Francisco font is just so recognizable and beautiful
do some vodka
Excellent idea
Does your name stand for DED?
As soon as your check is deposited
are there any good control panels for linux?
you've been working on paperweight for a bit, if we merge the 2 minor PRs (or at least the mcdev source one) think it would be okay to push out 1.1.9 as-is?
pepehands
pay up
perfect discussion
how much
all of it
20,000 tacos
ah fuck that i'll outsource to china
peeparweight 10.1.9
Webmin or plesk I guess, but honestly you are much better off learning how to use the command line. https://linuxjourney.com/
peepoweight
next version will be paperweight 6.6.6
Paperweight 10 21H9
lol
Unless you're talking about a control panel for Minecraft that runs on Linux? In that case, Pterodactyl
ver2021.7.28
Paperweight August 2021 Update
time for you to make a fork with that name then
you don't eat tacos with forks

Why not
What would happen if I did
What if Iβm doing so rn
would probably get banned idk
you better eat them with your feet now
will you feed me a taco with your feet kneny?
Oh no
kash why is your discord in...german? what is that
Donβt bannen me
why is yours not
it's part of the german immigration process
Dap kicken
kash wants to improve his programming ability by learning german
he hopes to assimilate into german culture to truly unlock their powers
wait, do they have tagalog

that'd be gr8
i'm learning german slowly, to answer your question
I am once again asking for your support
look technically I'm supposed to be working but right now I'm just on discord
idk what you want me to do
oops, should have specified. i meant for game server setup (eg pterodactyl).
then yes pterodactyl would be the best choice

yes sir
paper would crumble in less than an hour

time to revive supreme overlord role den?
I don't remember that role tbh
wiz had it before
#wiz2021
oh right
it was definitely well named at that point in time
Look how cute I look!
@waxen panther gave you your role
The day everything changed
I will create CardboardSpigot
cardboard already exists bro
Damn it
working with immutable things is just so much better
FoamSpigot it is then
make TreePulpSpigot
must be a bug i dont seem to have admin with the role
paper is way more punnable or referenceable than spigot. That's really why everyone forks off of paper
some of typescript's array methods mutate the array and some return a new array, and only now working with this have I realized how much easier working with immutable stuff is
you didnt realise that after working with adventure? π©
especially when you've gotta make a new variable just to mutate one thing and then have to make another variable again
brb forking bukkit calling it WateringCant
adventure 
I find adventure's immutability very annoying
I'ma make pulp. It'll be paper, but watered down and unusable.
so, HoneyGO in its current state?
I'm still namesquatting Cardboard, gotta do something with it sometime
I have no idea what that is
https://github.com/LethalEthan/HoneyGO
HoneyGO is a Minecraft server implementaion written in go, with help from wiki. vg (huge thanks to them), that strives to be fast by utilising goroutines and beingΒ ...
well i own the domain pizza.hut so there's that
Oh, Ethan's thing lol
yeah
Lmao I bet you could sell that to them at some point for a healthy amount
no way. denwav is piza hut ceo???
oh lmao
no im gonna build a plugin or something using it as the group id
Pizza is a tld?
also
wiz pointed out the package name would be package pizza.hut
for those that don't know
please make a plugin, call it Pizzahut, and they can't sue you for copyright infringement since it's your domain
this
papertowel spigot?
paper spigot lol
PaperSpigot's, ftfy
looks like pizza hut's got a bit of a reputation of not knowing how to register domains https://www.internetblog.org.uk/post/211/pizza-hut-markets-itself-as-the-hut-forgets-to-register-domains/
Wait how is a paper spigot efficient
It should be called iron spigot or something like that smh
paper beats rock
well we certainly aren't <anything> spigot
why would we want to stay associated with spigot?
probably worse spigot
Iron isnβt a rock though..
Iron is like scissors
Scissors beat paper
Bring back #weebs
Iβm thinking of creating a discord bot in Java that allows me to upload and manage more Java apps to my raspberry pi
Is it a good idea
JDA is probably just what you need
you'd just go
-> bot receives attachment -> dls it -> do some os magic
I mean itβs a bit more complex than that
i wonder if you could just make Pencil utilize discord's new chat API stuff to allow users to click on a button and create a new exploit report thread
Iβm guessing yes
removes the mod middleman
Click button - send message - create thread on that message or something like that
where would the button be lol
we also don't want users to be able to automatically open exploit threads, would be an easy attack surface
spamming hundreds of threads / second..

This is the 3am one
wtf it recommended that because it was 3pm when I refreshed the page?
Maybe idk
Technology has gone too far
Does this work though
I started this video and immediately wanted to switch back to my IDE instead of reddit
So... maybe?
Hmm
I really struggle to code stuff because I donβt have anything forcing me to code so I just do other stuff instead
tbh if you cant motivate yourself to code maybe you should persue something else
Oh I actually like it but many times I just donβt know where to start or what to even do
or take a class so you have structured learning
No, sometimes you have to just force yourself to do it
Even if it's just a hobby thing
I do like coding but I lose motivation very easily and quickly
sounds like you don't like it lol
there's a difference between motivation and determination
I like the problem solving part, exploring the problem space and figuring out the best solution
I do like it I swear
Actually coding that solution and dealing with all the fiddly bits sucks
if you are determined to do something you'll power through it even when you have no motivation, and you'll feel rewarded at the end of it
I used to experience that...just to be 100% sure, have you ever been tested for ADHD? Because it may not be as simple as not liking it.
this is esp true for shit like weight loss
I hate programming
Taking an existing thing and making it better is fun too
and yeah ADHD can cause things like that
I can do it, but I hate it
You may simply be losing the ability to continue focusing on it
I just prefer to work for other people because itβs kinda like forcing me to do something
Not more features or anything, just better
Cleaner, faster, more extendable, whatever
@viscid wedge
Iβve never been tested for it
I do that sometimes
I love to code, but for long projects or when something requires extensive thought I get exhausted and I simply could not keep going
ADHD is a big factor for me, for sure
I can now, because I've gotten help
I guess I lose motivation because I like to play as well so I have to reboot into windows every time I want to play so it kinda ruins the fun
But yea, that's just one thing. DenWav could also be right.
That's why it's easier to motivate myself to improve an existing thing, if I get bored or distracted or something the thing will still work wherever I stopped
Gotta get ready to head out
i still don't know how to code, any tips?
I also start new projects but Iβm afraid they might not be successful so I just lose motivation
If you're struggling with what may be ADHD (look up symptoms etc) talk to a professional about it. In addition to that, regardless if you are or not, structured learning or projects are usually the best way to go, since you have a specific goal and structure around it, which helps keep you on track.
Past that, if you still can never find motivation to work on it, but it's something you really want to do, try hard. Set goals that you are determined to achieve, and work your ass off to get there. If after all that you still can't find any motivation then I don't know what to tell you

what does successful mean? You're setting your goals way too high. Set your goals to high to be impossible to achieve and you're bound to fail
@viral hornet β€οΈ i'm joking
make the goal simply that you learn something, or that you implement something using a new technology you've never worked before. It doesn't matter if it's a broken mess, you still succeed at your goal
With successful I mean stuff that people will actually use
Huh, it's been 5 years since the last time I did any hobby programming worth mentioning
Iβm also not good at imagination so I just canβt think of new ideas or cool stuff
you're setting your goal so high you can't look down and see any real progress you're making. Focus down on you and yourself instead, and you'll see the progress
I bet that's a major factor on why you can't find any motivation
Learning Java itself was a really cool goal and I enjoyed it
I tried to make an addition to the kotlin stdlib π
That was the last hobby programming I did
I really canβt think of any other goal so Iβm just stuck on that
this is a relevant video lol https://youtu.be/LO1mTELoj6o

I just gave you 2 right off the cuff
There was talk about adding some API for persistent collections but all the existing Java libraries were really big and/or their API didn't match up well with the Kotlin style
Find a random API in the JDK and make the goal to build something that uses it, or do the same with a library
I managed to code a whole matchmaker bot for a game I like but I just stopped itβs development because I thought it wouldnβt be used at all
So I took some papers and some blog posts and wrote my own version
if your only goal is for people to use your software then you'll never get past where you are now
90% of the shit on my github no one has ever touched or seen, doesnt mean i didnt learn a lot when making it
No even on personal stuff, Iβve tried to make some sort of auto installer for a cool project for my Pi but I just get overwhelmed
btw, for anything where you aren't counting cycles, especially for things that are big and multithreaded, persistent collections should be your default choice
then start smaller
Only use normal collections when perf is shown to be an issue with a benchmark
imagine the crowds of people that have started using my most prized project https://github.com/DenWav/wat
This is less of a need in Rust due to borrow checking but can still be useful
learned a lot about C, code generation & templates, JNI, manual memory management, cross-platform C and cross-platform CMake build setups, etc from that useless stupid project
i don't even know where you'd begin to make something like this lol
You can almost treat this like an ArrayList and be fine but it's so much more powerful and has less foot guns
well as you do more things and get more experience your breadth of experience grows, which allows you to take on bigger / weirder / watter projects
you can make something simple very complicated too, just overengineer the shit out of it
I'm not suggesting anyone actually jump straight into trying to build something like that
i mean i've been coding for like 3 years now and the weird shit that happens with projects like fabric and forge is still beyond my comprehension
my rtp plugin is just me learning multithreading, messing with recursion and derping around with chunk snapshots
I guess itβs just that Iβm too lazy to reboot into macOS to code anything
I should really go back through that repo and put in documentation and stuff
i guess spigot/paper too, with all the crazy remapping stuff all these projects do
Link to relevant papers and give a quick overview of the data structure and such
i guess 3 years isn't that much in the grand scheme of things but there are certainly times i feel like i should know more than i do haha
@waxen panther hi
heyyyyyyyy
ive been learning java since i was like 15 and i'm still trash, so dont sweat it
(im 23 now)
Hmm, I think at 23 the application I worked on was a part of the standard GNOME desktop
Not that the code was very good, it was just some tedious crap no one else wanted to write π
ah, i'm only 21 and I still have yet to transfer to something that isn't community college
so maybe the acquisition of knowledge will increase then
I didn't finish community college π
@waxen panther try again that thing I asked you earlier
I guess that's one of the nice things about programming is that you don't have to get a degree if you're proficient
Eh, unless you freelance or do a lot of open source hobby stuff to establish credentials it'll be harder to get your foot in the door
The trick there is to pick a topic and focus until you're one of the experts in it
i left uni for a job π³
it's quiet difficult to get hired without something to your name
well i'm going the route of getting the degree rather than freelancing or w/e
Once you have a year or five industry experience the degree doesn't matter but getting that first year or getting a job that doesn't suck to start is harder
does the thread feature work?
Yes.
i got my first programming job before I graduated college, but I was still within a few months from getting my masters degree by that point
If you have a pulse and can write Java at a level higher than My First Bukkit Plugin there are places you can get a decent paying job though either way
in most places they're basically begging for developers
so you shouldnt have trouble finding a job
not always true
employers generally don't want someone who's junior level. There's only so much value jr devs can bring
they love hiring underpaid senior devs though
some companies do hire true entry level, but most entry level positions at this point require 2 to 3 years of experience
companies: "i want entry level without having to train someone up from entry level"
yep. the main goal is to pay someone as little as possible to do as much grunt work as possible
If you're in the US, know Java, and want a job look in to First Data, they're probably still desperate
wow that's a strong sell
