You're broke so you have 2 choices.
- Don't use the plugin
- Use the plugin and get a disease on your server
- support the developer and pony up
[no-ping] i wonder what that means
if I cant afford an iPhone, I dont buy iPhone.
I dont go to Apple store and steal one @jovial plover
4th option, the first one I listed, btw
savage eternity
it's open source
Squee
Don't ping people that don't want to be pinged

you could also just no cry about pings lol
make sure you have all legal documentation on whoever sends you the plugin so you can commit fraud under their identity if they backdoor u 👍 ||mandatory /s||
If people don't want to be pinged, don't ping them
See our community rules.
Yeah!!
👍
will write that in a note to self
it's a good tip
ip stress test ||jk||
eternity i tracked your ip down to something in the range of 192.168.0.x, what's the last digit
.1
their ip is 127.0.0.1, smh my head
You won't need to know any info on the user if you just do the right/smart thing and don't use any files they send you.
@fossil patio etern is lying it's actually .69
you got me 
you wouldn't download a car
actually, I had teamviewer access to their spare machine before they started to hate my ass
mfw your pc is a router
yes i would
downloads NFS
virus

ig forza's a more relevant game now than need for speed

Adds webhook support to the popular Mineraft Anti-Cheat called Spartan
does that come with the spartan? ||jk||
also tf is mineraft
oh no
Are you trying to pirate more plugins?
why was it necessary to put that in a spoiler
why not
kids when they discover spoiler tagging
use it everywhere!!!!!!!!! hoohoohoo so fun-knee
||what's a spoiler?||
||dunno||
||I think that was the first time I have ever actually used a spoiler tag||

point proven
Lol
everyone else was spoilering, makes sense to continue the trend, right?
god i cant keyboard today
its not that you used a spoiler, it's what you spoilered that time
It’s like pouring and this one kids sitting in the grass eating his pizza lmao

oh f*ck off xd
click all of them for a prize!
gimmie da prize
You can use something like F3name (or modify the server source), but there isn't really any reason to do that
i am clicking on them all
thanks
by modify server name do you mean change the name of the server in the F3 screen
Especially since it takes away the only credit devs receive
yes
someone write a compatibility layer plugin for among us so I can play among us from minecraft
i'll take one prize
oh right it's wednesday
(this line)
yeep
no it's frog day
skips to technical changes
Servers can now set property hide-online-players to true in order to not send a player list on status requests
neat
why can't it be both?
that is a nice feature
your prize is the realization of the mutability of your concept of free will by means of a simple yet pointless challenge
f**k u
congrats! enjoy your existential hangover
jk
now what is this
too good to be true?
Blocks and fluids are now also affected by simulation distance. It might be a good idea to test that the behavior of your redstone contraptions remained the same
Optimized entity collisions
parameter indexes are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, etc
in bytecode that is not true
ah ok
that converts bytecode param indexes into source param indexes

click them all for a prize
no.
is there a reason why source mappings also have Lambdas removed?
bruh
oh haha very funny
maybe because lambdas compile to anonymous functions (interfaces with one method?), idk, that's how i last heard lambdas were implemented in Java
did not fall for it
It is too small.
blurry af
also MM wouldn't it technically be easier if the API allowed for setRequiresCustomPersistence and setRemoveWhenFarAway instead of one value that overrides both?
iirc both are used for different things
aye that's probably the reason yeah
functional interfaces, looks to be yes
https://www.infoq.com/articles/Java-8-Lambdas-A-Peek-Under-the-Hood/ dunno the quality of this but it has some insight on that (first google result)
Yeah, they're just anonymous classes based on a functional interface
im an idiot
Blocks and fluids are now also affected by simulation distance.
Optimized entity collisions
Mojang out there trying to put paper out of business
OOTL, what's simulation distance, ticking view distance?
Yes
kk
What's next, plugin api? :D
Well, it's no secret we getting closer to that with every release
lol SNHU tried to dupe me
i made a shitty misinformed decision to leave my current college and go to SNHU back in 2019 because i thought it would help me get my bachelor faster, took 1 class, failed, withdrew, went back to old college 
but anyway was trying to do an academic renewal to get the grade removed from the GPA calculation and they're like "sure!!!!!!!! just fill out this form and we'll send it off for approval." so im like "ok" and they send me the form.
i decided to read the very bottom fine print. if i would've submitted the form i'd have committed myself to 30 credit hours at SNHU
fuck these people, i even asked what the conditions are. they said none
i found a bug in mc
yeah, you could easily add another tristate to do that
Ok!
ah fair enough
Tiny question which sentence is correct:
- You don't have access to this command!
- You don't have access for this command!
I'd say 1, but couldn't be able to explain why
One
Access to
Not for
Permission for
But also permission to
Depends on context
access makes it seem like a physical thing, so to get the command you have to get "to" it
'to' when using access as a noun, which in that case you are
'access' is the state of accessibility of the command, so 'access to the/this/that command'
'for' is also when using access as a noun but when it's benefactive (i.e. directed at a person or thing that will receive the access)
'access' 'for' jack/the team/simple
(the 'for' clause would follow a 'to' clause; i.e. 'access to this command for <person/group>')
hope that helped and didn't just confuse you

Oh nice explanation. Are you a language teacher? xD
nah
among us


im still waiting for someone to write an among us interface plugin
so I can play actual among us from minecraft



Toast just stop it
????
stop it toast smh
Ok!
any sorta guide?
how tf is it a guide
it’s so simple
how
(if you have maven installed)
Argument from Incredulity falllacy
^^ yea sorry
just install maven ez
Hm
wtf???
Crazy, I know.
so if i run this mvn clean package install mcMMO is installed
no
obviously in the mcmmo directory you cloned from git
It builds a jar file on /target
this is why there are pre-built binaries for a $
A surprisingly valid business model
sell prebuilt binaries ez money
You either use your brain to do it yourself or pay to not having to use brain and get a jar
some people pay to support the developer but let's be honest here
Or like PS pay to get support 😉
why make it open source if your gonna make ppl pay $20 for it
👀
ez money
also GPL compliance
and that
you can also obviously compile it yourself
f
ok
Ok
Ok!
Ok!
Ok!
Nice try
Stop
waw
Dap this could've been your pfp but you said no!!
Wonder why

No

@void void what do u think
Lol
I also wanted to name a project of mine valk
Well almost valk
Slightly different
My bee's are strong and highly venomous you'll never take me alive!
Just checked it out
It’s such a big project
Slightly incomplete
Lacking a few features
But soon, it will be the best
it probably requires me learning DOP and networking
why not
As soon as I learn rust tho
no
If only I knew v
V is easy!
I asked sloker for a server to spam clients at so i can test Honeysmoke 
i can spin up an instance on monekgame and put it in offline mode for ya sometime
but?
Idk
Oh hey my server from a month a go is still running
I can sure help once it becomes a bit more advanced
alright i'll try my best to write good code
Don't mind the variable names 
It still hasn't stopped 😢
I'll just force stop the vm
my variable names are better than ethans
Mine are better
no
You haven’t even seen
yes because all your repos are fucking private, ascendumb
alright i gotta work on a presentation weeee
I like my stuff private
Nah my variables make sense
PW
I’ll make my repos public when they can be useful to anyone else
PW := CreatePacketWriter hmmmmm wonder what it means 
and then dap flames me for doing User a = event.getAuthor()
bruh
Of course
is it connected to the internet
My DNS broke on it
and also I did a config change on my switch
;(
Aight time to spam my server with clients
authorOfTheMessageThatTheMessageReceivedEventHasProducedAsAResultOfReceivingAMessageInAGuildThatTheBotClientSharesWithPeople
better.
that's cringe
They need to be descriptive so other people can use them
Although my repos are private
what would something named note_buffer be?
A buffer of notes
So a note of buffers?
A okay
was smth for a project i dropped cuz i got tired of stuff not working
Day #8 of learning Rust: I’m crying
Nope but there is a giant ass .md file :}
there is one
the children are talking about V again 🙂
actually
V is just a better looking C, change my mind
well yeah

yep
ok i go back to school work i have a test tomorrow i haven't reallly studied for
nerds
yea
@toxic bone that’s some bS I don’t have game pass and I have the launcher (new one)
Ok!
It might be because I don't own minecraft bedrock on the account I was trying to download it on
it’s probably better to stick to the old one
i use multimc
then you shouldn’t bother with it until they fix some stuff
Maybe, I only have Minecraft Java and yea I heard new Minecraft launcher for most people seem to be garbage 🗑
since it has a lot of bugs rn
I rarely ever use the official launcher
Oh cool
i use the official launcher since all i do is occasionally mess with 1.17 plugin stuff but multimc>>>
only thing I don't like is their privacy policy
happy diwali
isn't that a feature of basically every language nowadays
no
Calling C functions is a think all native languages do easily
V compiles to C so it's not even the same thing
built a rest API for turning images into schems. Handles converting things to schem2 in like 50ms. https://taylorlove.info/projects/pixelstacker/swagger/index.html Images take 500ms for some reason.
It is something pretty much every somewhat notable language does support, though. Python, Crystal, D, Rust, Java, etc. all support it
Yup, just gonna add go and lua to the list, don't mind me . ^
would C count as supporting it
it is a notable language but is it the same because its itself
Assembly can call C functions
that would just be a regular C library so I doubt that (It would be odd for a language to be unable to use libraries written in itself)
Mainly cause they're also the same thing
That's cool
Should have linked this page tho so I can see wtf you mean by stuff
Am an idiot I don't understand stuff without images
should write a paragraph about the new API on that site I guess @acoustic granite
You're right, I should. Good suggestion.
It isn't fully ready yet though.
I still need to re-add the quantizer features and dithering effects.
uhm
but hang on. just for fun...
just slam in a URL in that first API "byurl"
annnnd there you go. It is a demo
Ah I have to add an image that's already gone throw your software?
So any image I add will be first converted to he colors of Minecraft and then turned into a layered schematic?
I can't test am on mobile ^^
tbh it's faster to go direct to schem2 than it is to try and render a png or jpeg version of it
50ms instead of 450ms
sleepy. gnight!

I mean, on the surface it looks correct, but, like, you know
you are overestimating me

What’s the best bungee cord fork that is up to date and let’s 1.7.10 clients join
I've been inside a wine barrel before
No
if it does go ahead but i doubt anyone will give you support
That was travertine and that was killed
It needs to be a bungee cord fork
then you're out of luck
for practice server
i know a guy who still maintains it, but he's getting paid for it
no other mini games on my server will be 1.7 only practice
A lot of practice servers support 1.7
if you just want it to work there's no reason it has to be a bungee fork I'm sure
There is probably a fork out there, but, we're not google; I'd heavily just suggest moving on, but 🤷♂️ if you know what you're doing, updating travertine would be trivial, I wouldn't be surprised if somebody wasn't maintaining it already publically, see the network tab on github, etc
except there aren't a lot of practice servers nowadays

We don't have to practice, we just click R. 🛌

The fucking differences between String and str in rust are hellish
Damn, I remember when CN was boss
I also remember one time when I happened to catch them basically "relaunch" the channel with a new logo
Then it just kinda started getting 'eh
I remember when TV existed too
TV is dead to me
TVs nowadays are just highly restricted computers with a DRM'd out da wazoo content delivery system, why bother
just use a computer and a screen
I refuse to pay the BBC just so I can watch shit which is often repeats
I mean, much better content on youtube than on BBC these days, and like, easier 🤷♂️
big black content channel
BBC should find a means to market the content worth watching like the animal documentaries and shit and just throw it online
heck, bob ross is pulling it off on twitch and hes dead
they would make more money 24/7 streaming lions murdering babies than what they do now
haha bri'ish people do you wanny bao'o'a'wo'a
Charter review in 2027 is the earliest we'll see anything "juicy", but, they're basically acting like if the BBC was a sub service we'd need to pay like double or triple the price
and it's like, so what you're telling me, is that if people had to opt in, you'd be out of business
QUOITE SAD INNIT
as Im in the netherlands I just know BBC as the dudes that made some cool documentaries and stuff
but all that content worth watching is now decades old
and they dont seem to really be making new
I mean, it's dumb; We're basically have to pay a license to watch any form of live TV in which only one company really gains from it, and they basically despise us
lol yep
but from what Ive seen you can just close the door on the bullies trying to enforce it. legally.
and, best part!
so cancel that license and kick the live tv out on the curb
We pay the BCC this cash to make shows, in which they sell to BBC studios, who then sell the content all around the world, including back to us brits on stuff like netflix!
you can watch netflix and such just fine without a tv license
and yea, the firm that they send around is basically known to employ ex-cons just for that extra loving warm customer service experience on the doorstep
its only for some weird bbc related live stream service (?) and live coverage on tv like soccer
but they enforce it as if you need it for everything, which is a bold faced lie
iPlayer and basically anything broadcasted on a TV, anywhere
but hey they can get money out of old people with that tactic.
So, like, I can't even stream japanese TV without a TV license
oh really? Wat
how do you even make that distinction
is twitch illegal? Thats live.
is it really live? Theres a 30s delay.
seems highly arbitrary
besides, why would you pay a british service for a japanese service that doesnt get money or support from the british government wtf
Well, I mean, that's the joy of it; If it's not broadcasted like, "over the air" it doesn't count
But, anything which is sent over the air is pretty much covered
over the air doesnt include cable?
internet?
you can watch local foreign news places live on the internet easily
cable is included even if I don't think that they cover it too well in their words
besides that this entire thing is not enforcable lmao.
general rule is that if you can watch the same stream on a TV through a "TV tuner" of some form, it counts afaik
I mean, unless they straight up catch you they can't do jack shit
close the door in their face and they're literally powerless
actually
someone explained to me that the potential to watch doesnt constitute a crime
if they want to fine you, they have to prove that you have watched.
so just dont let them into your home. At all.
they cant get a warrant.
if potential to violate was a crime, everyone is always in violation because the internet exists
which is plain not provable.
pretty much yea
its pretty much a means to bully old people
Wait you guys don’t have old school over the air signal?
Those are still free here in US
analog signal is terminated
Why TF would I
We have freeview
theres digital but its encrypted
WHERE do YOU live
US
but, most of it's satellite or some variant of IPTV
the old analogue stuff died years ago
Both are kept free
This is raw video of the 1230pm analog TV shutoff in New York City on 6/12/09. Here, channels 7,11,and 13 turn off their analog signal, channel 4 goes "nightlight" The sound is from channel 7. The shutoffs begin at the 4:40 mark.
Channels 2 and 9 signed off later in the day.
For those of you who don't seem to get it, these are analog TVs hooke...
Analog(ue haha British) was switched off in like 2009
Basically, many channels are broadcasted free over the air
But, to watch TV you need a TV license
YE GOT A LOICENSE FOR WATCHEN DA TELE?
kwite shtewpid innit
lmao 4 real
Wait you get to pay for porn??
and with the digital age came advertising you cant turn off, instead of poor signal no signal, and viewer tracking
and smart tv malware
Fr analog tv was an insane technology, digital is basically cheating
analog was nice while it lasted
im pretty spoiled now so the nostalgia for it is definitely false
the resolution, oof
Worse part is that like every week or something Channel 5 would have some good shit on it, but, you'd often spend like 30 minutes before tryna get the arial on the right place
correct angle of the dangle of the tongtangulation and all that
Analog was a nightmare for converting video though
I still remember tvs being hauled in and the teacher dicking around with the antenna to get sesame street to be recepted
good times
Now digital contains packets all about how to properly display the visual info
and if one bit is missing the entire stream is corrupted
Ive had to dick around with my parents digital receiver way too many times
Error correction no longer exists :D
Old digital had problems yes
I swear those boxes just accumulate bit errors from cosmic rays or some shit
If any analog system got noise then the output just became less clear
Tv box is made of the cheapest materials one can find
Yea, I remember having one of the earlier boxes
With bare minimum functionality and compute power
Gooood where they trash
Yesh i fucking hates those
meh, the smart samsung tv was in a perpetual state of 'no internet' until I physically disconnected the power and reconnected it
who writes that garbage
Smart tv is your first mistake
thats why I dont own one
See, I keep debating on if I wanna get a TV
Cosmic rays that cause bit flips are exceedingly rare, they only really cause problems with long-term storage devices or memory
Well, the smart ones are cheaper, so, er...
well that tv box sits idling for months to years on end lol
But, if I got a smart TV I'd still want an external dangly thing
You've probably had your phone for years with no big issue
Analog stuff would probably be really good if we were able to prevent data from corrupting by pretty much just existing
wrong.
Ive had to force reboot many times as well
Cat, get a smart one but don't accept the eula
but thats probably just bugs in android
shit phone
smart tvs are strange I'd rather put all the smart stuff separate from the thing I bought specifically to display an image and nothing else
install some open source plex / digital receiver shit on it
and a bog standard hdmi screen
no ads and you can game on it
NUCs are great if you hate yourself
Well, am broke ass ho, and like, am not even sure I want a TV, but, I kinda do, but, then I kinda CBA...
obviously dont get a crap nuc
Well, then they also get expensive, don't they?
There are gaming nucs
id rather go full SoC mode and do a pi 4 or smth
cheaper than a desktop pc
I got my TV connected to my desktop for gaming
I mean, I kinda want one of the google sticks mainly cos of the integration
And a FireTV stick for movies
but upgradability of nucs is bar to none so keep that in mind
Chromecast
You can use external gpu
egpu on a nuc? in today's economy especially? why even bother
Ive used a NUC for a personal project to digitize analog video output
some ffmpeg processing and an AV converter and some NAS shit
I mean, I'd rather just get like a small desktop and slap it under the tv than a nuc, tbqh
had a bunch of old analog recordings sitting around
Like, they're not exactly cheap last I saw, and depending on what you're doing it's like 🤷♂️
the nice thing with nucs is the quietness
HDMI capture cards are expensive so I have a terrifying HDMI -> AV -> USB setup and the picture quality is just shit enough
but you can make a desktop quiet
I should show my setup
I made this hilariously janky setup of s-video with a self soldered chip
and this weird SCART switch box I modded
then chinesium creeped in and the contacts of the switches went bad and I had to toss it
in that way I dont miss analog
pain in the ass with s-video/rgb and signal loss and interference
fuck that reminds me, I can actually fix my old capture card now that I have a soldering iron
Once I used a DVI->VGA adapter hooked up to a VGA->HDMI cable connected to an HDMI->AV box connected to an AV-USB ezcap and it actually fucking worked
I currently use a HDMI->VGA on my 3080 so I can keep using my 3rd monitor which is like 15 years old at this point 
it's my dedicated slack monitor
SAAAAME
it's 100% dying but I'm not getting rid of it till it either no longer turns on or no longer displays an image
beautifully interlaced cursors ❤️
At least it runs at 75Hz so it is a multiple of my 144Hz monitors
less windows fuckiness
I built a homemade pinball machine for a class one time using an arduino and it very much looked like that wire wise 
erm, you forgot the step where you smother it in enough hotglue to start melting the breadboard itself
dip it in a tub of plastidip
shouldve done that tbh
solder joint looks bad? drown it in hot glue
to top if off I made this crime against humanity
Now it's not going anywhere! This is my "case". I have my "life" ""together""
its a simple microprocessor that sends screen resolution info to vga
to set the timings
How cute!
I only recently gotten myself my own soldering iron(bought a used nintendo DS and the charging port was fucked) so I can't wait to solder everything
god, I invested in some heat shrink a few months ago
that's cursed
that stuf was fun to dick with, and I learn some about the archaic analog/digital era
Not used it too much, and, well
Now add some hamming codes to the data stream!!! 😏
had a few cases where I went to go pull the tubing up the cable I just soldered a connector on and then notice that I left the thing on the desk once or twice
But, I mean, really handy to have, ngl
Do kinda wanna get a hot snot gun maybe
berger at this point just make your own GPU following Ben Eater's tutorial 
I think I know what video you mean lol
His vids are so interesting even if I'll never do anything with the knowledge
All hail the EEPROM programmer, for He gives us life and He brings us gifts
thing is, anything computer has me kinda bummed out because these massive projects have the power of a modern chip the size of a pinhead
just slap a raspi zero in your project and youre done
However I did use his bit parity videos to figure out how to stop getting bit flips when my electromagnet went off and fucked my LCD 
You can feel cooler by making a schematic and sending it to a prototyping service
Then it's a chip chip
Reminder that the Pi Zero 2 has been released
I mean, it's why I think that theres much interest in the projects where they use older hardware and intentionally step on their own toes with hardware specs, etc
Like, it's interesting to see how much we've progressed hardware wise and how everything is literally "free" in terms of resources
its nice, I kinda want one
I mean it’s a bit limiting with only 512mb of ram
But, I mean, theres a lot of history of stupid hacks and tricks which made the games that we used to love when we where barely out of nappies
but the cpu is stupid powerful compared to the first version
it can actually do something meaningful with the camera module now
I tried decoding h264 with ffmpeg on the v1 but it just couldnt
It will never compete with DeSinc's camera
Yea that’s true
It’s like on par with the pi 3b
Yet it still consumes way less power
I'm going to show you how to use a $2,000 camera on youtube. you don't need the best webcam on the market to stream or make youtube videos
(secret note: $2,000 ca...
I made this raspi zero head mounted camera gopro like thing, with an audio board from adafruit and some custom drivers
that's cool
I use my pi for pihole and internet monitoring
I had my Pi 4 set up for that
Was gonna use it as a vpn for my network but my nas does that
11 year olds after downloading Wireshark 
I use Jeff Geerling’s internet-pi setup for all my shit
Nowadays I only use my pi to run random websites or bots
Very good stuff
His videos are quite entertaining
pi 4 is too powerful to be relegated to that
His stuff basically showed me that spectrum gives me 100mb/s less than what I pay for on average
I ram grafana and I actually got the speeds they promised
Well 25 mbps less than expected but still quite amazing
I get the speeds they promise but every other test runs half speed so it averages out to worse lmfao
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgVz4-SEhbE this one was in my history
In this video, I introduce the concept of Raspberry Pi clustering, and cluster computing in general. Technology like Beowulf clusters and Kubernetes has made it easy to build clusters using off-the-shelf components.
I walk through how I built my 'Pi Dramble' (https://www.pidramble.com) over the years using various Raspberry Pi model B computers...
plus soy face
I get the 600mbps 99% of the time
I mean, worth noting that many ISPs sorta like, "prefer" traffic towards sites like speedtest.net, etc
So, be wary there
^
I usually just use one of those "download a big file" test sites
but speedtest can set a baseline at least, prove its actually bad. Just not that its good.
It also records how long http responses take so I can see when shit is fucking up
