Isn't teamspeak like dead lmao
pretty much
should've stayed at 3
or maybe don't go into the "trendy Electron chat app" look 🤪
Teamspeak is still prefered in lots of older German and apparently UK communities
Or for anyone that actually doesn't want Discord taking up 600MB of their ram. 
or for anyone that wants to actually control their stack (although I would suggest using mumble or teaskeak instead 👀 )
if teamspeak ever tries to pull our free license again we will probably just move lol
Well, they killed a bunch of servers with the client sided license check BS.
did teamspeak add persistent chat channels
Nyes.
that was always something i didn’t like because it was too focused on voice, communities felt weirdly disconnected
That was kind of the point of TS3...
To be an extension of an existing community.
Not to be the building block of one.
@twin lagoon thoughts?
yeah and i didn’t like it
communities were 1/3 forums, 1/3 teamspeak/mumble/vent, 1/3 skype/irc
discord has 2/3 of those (and does them better), and is slowly getting the other 1/3
TS also is from a time when persistent chat didn't exist so ¯_(ツ)_/¯
technically TS3 can do that already though
Yeah, but only client sided.
no
Did they ever change that then?
Oh that.
works literally the same as IRC
runs
tbh I still hate that facebook started that trend of having messages and chat merged into one -.- the times where you could be sure that your chat partner was actually engaged into the conversation because it was only possible when they were online at their PC where magical
*were
I guess we have read-statuses now to work around that but it still feels different than an actual voice chat
mumble gang
Mumble just decided to not pick up my mic at all when I first tried it, so I never ended up using it. 
About the same reason I never played LoL.
The launcher didn't want to do anything after I signed in, so I just uninstalled it. 
small indie company
That was in like 2014 or some BS.
8 years ago!

what was that chrome extension called that skipped ads on yt vids?
the ones in videos

nice cool thanks awesome pog
Very cool

man I suck at maths, lmao
public static void main(final String[] args) {
final int colors = 4;
final float steps = 1f / (colors - 1);
System.out.println("steps " + steps);
for (float phase = 0; phase <= 1; phase += 1/12f) {
// 4 colors -> 3 ranges
// 0 -> 1: 0 -> 0.333
// 1 -> 2 0.333 -> 0.666
// 2 -> 3 0.666 -> 1
// 0 -> 0
// 0.1666 -> 0.5

// 0.333 -> 0
// 0.5 -> 0.5
// 0.666 -> 1
// 0.666 -> 0
// 0.8333 -> 0.5
// 1 -> 1
for (int colorIndex = 1; colorIndex < colors; colorIndex++) {
final float val = (colorIndex) * steps;
if (val >= phase) {
final float factor = (val - phase) * colors;
System.out.printf("p %f f %f i %s v %f%n", phase, factor, colorIndex, val);

this is what I get
cursed
I need a working formula for factor
is this for gradient or rainbow for MM?
final float factor = 1 + (phase - val) * (colors - 1);
fuck ye
watch that still be wrong
fuck yeah
owo that's neat
its a gradient but in a different dimension basically
skipping video ads is piracy ?
ded moment
@waxen panther thots
Hm, this doesn't convince me, I prefer using paragraphs
§x§0§0§0§0§0§0H§x§f§f§f§f§f§fi is clearly superior
That is obviously the future, yes
Minimessage users are stuck in the past
Thats the real reason why they increased the scoreboard title length
adding support for negative phases is baaaadd
Is minimessage the one that looks like xml
Would pufferfish out perform it for things such as pvp events in limited areas without mob spawns, etc
well
does the tag syntax make it like xml?
in every situation. Yes.
if yes then yeah it's like XML
the code for that is <transition:white:black:" + phase + ">Hello World
idk if thats xml to you
problem is it uses a bunch of dumb caches that duplicate caching work that's already being done and it wrecks inlining
so like
it just makes things slower and buggier
I mean it can do lorem ipsum <b>blah blah</b> lorem ipsum -> lorem upsum blah blah lorem upsum, dunno if that makes it xml
paper is cool too tho pls dont ban me
how much is that nfts fork anyway
just benchmark it against paper yourself, it's probably slower
Mini i need this in my life.
also, don't mind me using thread.sleep, lmao
I guess it would be fine in a scheduler
mini i’m waiting for a resource pack that has a chat string that cycles through the rainbow
exists
yes but i’m waiting for one from mini
based
Thread.sleep hater(soy) vs Thread.sleep on main thread abuser(chad)
making it a sin wave is so fun
server isnt happy with 1k iterations
[20:38:55 WARN]: Can't keep up! Is the server overloaded? Running 101649ms or 2032 ticks behind
I didn't need those ticks anyways
async chat go brr
its a command tho
oop lol

hey, I made a thing. something something tumblr. I dont know if it would count as spam if i posted it here. I know its kinda "on a grey area" but this message will leave us soon. If anyone with power dislikes this please very please delete it and Im sorry
well, anyway, I made a thing. its basically tumblr 2 with more bugs. https://app.wafrn.net and the front is opensauce https://github.com/gabboman/wafrn
please dont hammer me in the face i love you all
Tumblr 2: The Tumblring
does it allow NSFW? 
you have to mark it when you upload
but yes
Pog, actual reason to use it over Tumblr then
my reason to make it was that there was a controversy in xmas.
nit big in the end
but there was one
I don't need to tell you what the majority of your content will be if this works out
i am scared away by the sketchy looking authentication page
^
not yet even after almost a month open
https://app.wafrn.net/blog/gabboman if you wanna see some stuff without giving me your data
yes
wait
no
imagine it
like five guys running. could 10 guys running go faster? no
but together they could move more weight
butt
not faster
than 1 guy's max speed
hpe it helped
furthermore, cloud hosts usually put "one guy to more tasks"
because FUN FACT actually a lot of the time is spent waiting
is like
you have a bike
and I have a mother***king jet plane
Anyone here had tried oracle free cloud server
Yes
and we start both in... mexico and wanna see ourselves in alaska
Is it good?
Good enough I guess
There's been experiments turning 2 threads into a single thread but it didn't go anywhere
Can i dm you
I’d rather you didn’t
I also use oracle free tier in production
Just ask here
Oh, I've had one for a long while now, more than 6 months
There isn’t really a ‘catch’
the design needs some work i think
They really enjoy terminating your instance for no reason, then you have to re-create it if there are spots left
I’ve never had that
You won't lose your files or anything, it's just inconvenient
Theres no end to the free tier?
Probably because I’m on a paid account but you still don’t get charged
the fact that your servers may or may not disappear at random
You can use it as long as you like?
At present there’s no end date
just made a push to the repo. it will be deployed in a few minutes
take backups because they could kill your server at any time
I haven't been billed so far, despite the 4 terminations I've been able to re-create them every time and still going
How have you been terminated 4 times?
i use contabo. its cheap and goes well
No idea, lol
i just use hetzner for stuff
But I've been there since almost the beginning
it's 40 euros a month for some pretty good machines
@twin lagoon any downsides to hetzner?
my instance was terminated and all files deleted - this only occurred a single time, and it was after the first 30 days I think? but I haven't had it happen again since, and it's still online and running right now
you get what you pay for
Luckily, they didn't delete my stuff in any of the terminations
I think they might terminate the boot volume if you don’t untick the option to destroy the boot volume on termination
Maybe
that's pretty open-ended 🐵
it seems to be working fine so far so
@ashen cliff Bro.
for 40 euros a month you can get really good machines everywhere
KGBHosting went down.
you just have to pay an upfront cost for a few thousand dollars
but it's a price to pay
@Kin bro.
Null routed.
People that are DoSing YOU, reporting you for existing.
A small price to pay for salvation
Based.
Oracle Cloud is fine until every datacenter has an outage and they send comms out saying it’s fixed when really all they fixed was the control panel (I wish this was a shitpost)
MikroTik doesn't play around.
Fact.
How many players can the oracle free tier can handle?
Mine can handle about 20
Consistent mspt?
That's about the the threshold it'll start occasionally staying over 50mspt for me
Is that with all four CPUs?
Yeah
My fellow oracle enjoyer? 
It's a love-hate relationship but I like it, can't deny it's been very useful
how
Am I crazy or is minecraft.net down?
It says "Access Denied" on my computer
At first I thought it was my browser (Brave) and I tried it on Chrome and it worked for about 3 minutes
Cleared my cache and it worked. Super odd.
what happened to hulu
it does that all the time randomly
the best one
Yea dream has lots of fans, would probs need a bunch of load balancing shit so server doesnt die
i3-12300 (or 12300T) is probably the best bang for your buck for a server right now, especially that size server
But good luck finding a dedicated server with one of those
wow so somebody hacked my website and put malware on it, now antiviruses are blocking my servers entire domain lol..
recovered the site but now I have to spam them all with requests to be unblocked
NFTs are just JPEG NTR
You'll have to google that one yourself, and don't do it in here 😛
🎉
I've got a 2020 version of that, in the softweave
10/10
Yeah I went for the soft weave too, harder to clean but it should be a lot more 
I got a cheapy "fake leather" chair as I was worried that the material would rub off too fast on the more fabric based ones
be interesting to hear how the fabric holds up cos I wouldn't want a chair which you rub through after a year or two of ass hours 😄
Yeet

Funny, because this is the data that the discord api gives)

uwu
Look at this shit
Two giant chop sticks lifting up the most powerful rocket ever created
And it's about to get way more powerful with the new engines
The thing on the bottom is the most powerful rocket, the bit being held up is just a cargo box 😄
Nah, together they form that
A cargo box that I think has more delta than the falcon 9 main stage but still 😛
That cargo box will land humans on the moon and the Mars
That reminds me, apparently the estimates are that a Falcon 9 launch only costs SpaceX $15m
I still find the thought of using starship as a lander incredibly comedic
They charge like $50m but that's to fund Starship and Starlink and such
You got the most powerful rocket and you only use it for the last mile
Don't they also need to fund new boosters with that?
I find it amusing that Starship can't actually make it to the moon
They have to send up a bunch more Starships to refuel the first one before it can leave orbit
Yeah, and the estimates of how many seems to fluctuate every time I look it up
Then again they're landing a building on the moon instead of a semi
I wonder what cargo nasa will pack
ping?
For real, they could kit a lander out as a base station and use it as a hotel or something
Yeah, it's a different league
Does nasa have their Eva suits done by now? I remember they having tons of issues
Gotta make sure the suits can be used in the spa they are bringing 😂
I don't think so
Huh, if Starship actually works out for LEO payloads they could put up 300+ Starlink sats every launch
Then it doesn't hurt them as much to lose 40 ^^
Altho I guess they would have lost more if they did put out more
Yep
Estimates are the "wasted" launch and lost sats only cost SpaceX around $25m though
Even 10 years ago a failure like that would have been the end of a multiyear project that probably cost like a billion dollars
Well, okay, for the commercial guys maybe only like $300m
Any idea how to make like a custom end portal that will tp you instead of bring you to end (like in hypixel)
lmao just was at a doctor to get my wisdom teeth removed and the helper first wanted to give me an appointment for the week of carnival (doctor responded with "are you crazy?" :D) and then for the 30th of February 😂
she def didn't had her first coffee yet, lmao
gg
It's still stopping for some reason
I have no clue why
server was closed by an external process or something
Could you tell me possible reasons?
Why
How tf am i to know
Why would my pc do that
those are general things, I can't comment on your specific setup
as I said, I can't really comment on your specific environment
No idea where windows would store such info if itself was going to yeet random processes
Guys can someone help me out?
I have 2 networks connected to my system, is there any possible way to define which application uses which network?
Tell the application what interface/ip it should use.
what do u mean
Anyone can recommend me a good designed progression server?
Vanilla
get a better pc or use Fabric mods
using random clients will probably just make it worse
my pc is low end but i can run gta 5 but 1.18 is lagging
lunar tested its lagging and crashing entire pc
what is your specs tho
hm it should be able to ace mc actualy
ys but its lagging sooo much
fabric + sodium, etc
imstarting lunar now and cpu is 100%
let me try those
lagohh
lag has begun
ohh my goodd
omg even 1.17 is laggy
check if you have like a mining virus or sum
Those specs should easily be able to handle MC
Ys i doubt that some thing is making trouble my pc is frozen now how do i check that
i have fps but full pc is freezing
Or install Linux!
but windows is meant for computers that aren’t complete potato’s
Linux is meant for barebones systems
use 1.18.1 with Fabric and Sodium, Lithium, and Phosphor
^
My beginner range computer can run gta 5… a old Xbox one can too at 30 fps
Or if that doesn’t work, why not try bedrock on pc? Runs good on potatos
i have another issue its not getting dark in lunar i mean i can see at night i can see through water no shadows etcetc how do i fix this
ask lunar?
now i have that issue in everyclients
probs GPU settings or something
To be fair I'm linux user for over 3 years but RAM usage is way worse on linux than on Windows actually, and there was no visible performance change overall on change. SImple fix is to drop 20GB of SWAP and enjoy "36" gigs of ram 😄
other than that, see client settings
ok
ram usage way worse how?
https://www.linuxatemyram.com/
Linux is borrowing unused memory for disk caching. This makes it look like you are low on memory, but you are not! Everything is fine! Why is it doing this?
as a fyi to some potential aspects there
I was experiencing much stuttering and sometimes whole OS freezes, I haven't had it on windows. Possibly something wrong with my setup but setting up zram and adding more SWAP did the job
also I haven't been using any other distro than Ubuntu so it could just be Ubuntu thing
is there any way to check virus or smthing running in background i cant find it in taskmanager
That makes sense ;-) I didn't know about all of those things
what about my windows xp?
\🤯
nah not really
linux is just not bloated
but you can very much make linux desktop very resource hungry
this is what my system looks when i am not doing anything and commonly what i just leave it like when i am sleeping, all of that memory usage is from my browsers mostly and ide
I mean, XP is dead
while it may perform faster than modern windows, you're not gonna have the drivers or the software support
then go with windows 7 even tho it may be "dead"
linux just generally has a lot less crap running in the background which does stuff like spying on you, etc
theres many dozens of scripts out there which will cut out a good chunk of services which will drastically lighten the system and you won't notice any losses in functionaility
i can't shill linux to people who can't even use windows lol
there is just too many hoops on linux
linux?
i3 7th gen 8gb
7th gen??
do u have gpu??
how do you have any issues
yes
like dedicated gpu
ys
intel desktop igpus are much more powerful then the laptop igpus but may depend on memory speed who knows but i get great performance with mine
Typical, see what all is running, check if anything has changed, etc
it can handle gta 5 30 -40 fps
like, if it was running file before, something has changed
dude, you've said that 20 times now, we get it
check hwmonitor?
did your fan die 😹
PSU dying usually just causes hard crashes from undervolt but I have had it just cause generally laggy system
especially if the disks are not getting the full voltage they will have a very hard time spinning and could cause data loss
lap
just open hwmonitor and check temps and voltage
64 gigs of ram 😵
pc only have 4 gbs and its even more laggy
i was sent 128GB from the seller instead of 64GB lol, but I just put the other 64GB in another server
what is that??
Oh, nice lol
HWMonitor is a hardware monitoring program that reads PC systems main health sensors : voltages, temperatures, fans speed.
The program handles the most common sensor chips, like ITE® IT87 series, most Winbond® ICs, and others. In addition, it can read modern CPUs on-die core thermal sensors, as well has hard drives temperature via S.M.A.R.T, and...
ok
I got Ryzen 5 3600 some time ago with 16GB DDR4 3200MHz but I think it's time for RAM upgrade, maybe when on it I'll buy M.2 SSD as I'm running SATA now
i have had 16+ gb of memory since like 2012 lol so i was always lucky i guess
I feel like those M.2 SSDs got really cheap lately
i just bought some sata ssds 🙂
they are just as expensive as sata really
I got my machine with 16, needed extra ram but this was like a few years ago when ram prices had sky rocketed so just got 8G of the stuff
am at the point though where theres very little point in upgrading this machine though, so 🤷♂️
i still need to put a fan on my nvme ssd
hahaha
it hits up to 99-100C on the controller under heavy load on cpu and ssd

I've been running 16GB as long as I remember but it was DDR3 1333MHz :D But I could even play Rust with it (that game eats shit tones of memory) so I was good with it. But I decided for upgrade, i5 3470 was starting not to be enough.
but i am just lazy
to be fair, 8G of ram was plenty for games for a good while
idk if theres many games which recommend 16G minimum
Minecraft Forge
more gonna be hit by the speed than the amount there 😄
They optimized GTA5 very well in my opinion
ys
So I'm not expecting anything else from GTA6
i can only watch some one playing gta 6
apparently their biggest reason for delaying it was because of the 7 seas
Well, it took them years to optimize loading time (and someone just did it for them lol) (https://www.pcgamer.com/rockstar-thanks-gta-online-player-who-fixed-poor-load-times-official-update-coming/)
but, they took so long to release it that I didn't really care to pay for it at the time of release which I was intending to if they hadn't taken years to drop it for PC that I just sailed the seas
probably more than 200+ gb size or smthng gta 6
once again, you need to shade it into your plugin
bukkit shades the mysql driver in
velocity doesn't
once again, you'll need to shade it into your own plugin, ideally using a proper build tool like maven or gradle
you can do it with the build thingy in IJ but I don't support that
How do I do this with grandlew
Google for shadow jar plugjn
did I get ghost pinged in here or somethin?
7:27AM my time by a bot
is there a way to edit multiple .yaml files at once
i have thousands of yaml. and i just need to edit $ to €
on *nix, use sed
otherwise, you'd need to find some other program but there are many like that
hahaha
yea i rmemeber that
i really want to learn java plugin coding i dnt know anything about java frm where to start
just do it
let me check java tutorials
if you are young you can pick it up just playing with an ide very quickly
Check out #general message
But I guess if you go this route instead of reading x book you need to be very interested in how everything works, so just get a grasp on the basics/fundamentals of programming first lol
I read the JVM/Java spec before I even touched a book related to Java lol
let me check
I’d figured it would have been a bot. I’m never pinged in here randomly lol
So I'm not expecting anything else from GTA6
atleast for few yers lol
I think a German court recently ruled the same way but France now considers Google Analytics illegal
Because it sends your data to the US
not for me
for me some what some are dead cus of schools
That's not what amaranth meant :P
ok
First I thought the app itself needed a restart, it even took like 5-10 seconds to respond to a ctrl-r
But now the app itself seems to be responded alright but those two messages looked like they weren't going to go through
Now it all seems fine again though
austria actually
but ye
sharing data with the US is a nono as the security of the data can't be guaranteed
Right, they either have to show it's encrypted such that only EU servers can actually read the data again or they have to stop doing it
Otherwise the US is free to read all of it without any kind of warrant or oversight under our laws since it's not data for or about US citizens and aside from that generally being shitty it violates GDPR
what do you mean by "austria actually" mini? Seems like France now did it too?
Munich Court rules usage of Google Fonts as illegal on the same basis last month
*ruled
Ah, that was the one
I didn't know about the Austria one, I was thinking of the Google Fonts one in Germany
pretty sure with that ruling any including of non-EU-hosted scripts should be considred as non-allowable
just their data protection whatever agency ruled it
That's what these cases appear to be settling on, yeah
doesn't really matter if it's Google Fonts, Google Analytics or Google Jquery lol
wat
with that google can easily track which websites you visit
not sure how that is not a massive privacy issue to you
if you give them the referrer which I would assume you would disable, lol
(of course it's not just IPs but browser footprints too but ¯_(ツ)_/¯ courts)
i expect a lot from gta 6 considering they’ve made an absurd amount of money off of gta 5 and this is by far the longest they’ve ever taken to release a new game.
although i fully expect it to just be gta online
pretty sure all browsers have referes enabled by default 👀
Nope
*referrers
afaik default Edge and Firefox settings disable them for things that talk to Google CDN stuff
really? when did that change?
Safari probably does too
I mean it's not just google, that should be generally disabled for all sites
Enhanced Tracking Protection
and as a website provider including google stuff I obviously set referer policy same origin
also seeing as neither edge or firefox matter in the browser market...
Safari claims theirs is based on some heuristics, Edge and Firefox are just block lists and some across the board settings changes afaik
the question becomes: Does Chrome disable it by default?
🤣
it literally doesn't matter if I as a server tell the browser to not send referers to other origins
https://i.moep.tv/g5CsCPL2.png I miss the times when people actually used Firefox here ;_;
ok I guess Germany alone is a bit higher with 12.5%
Basically Safari claims they reimplemented PrivacyBadger but smarter so it's less likely to break things while Edge and Firefox have a built in uBlock Origin but with only the trackers list loaded
That also means using analytics to measure Firefox usage probably doesn't work so well 😛
Although I don't think they block them entirely, just strip out cookies and referrers and such, not sure
well my Minecraft server's website is 74% firefox lol
actually that was just february, january is more like 54%... and 28% IE lol
maybe I need to udpate awstats 👀
bleh, guess what is using the most CPU during the entire login/startup process on my desktop?
While all my chat programs and game libraries, and hardware control things are loading
That's right, Windows Defender
my favorite is when I open an archive with plenty of files, defender just pins my CPU at 100% for like 30+ seconds. and it happens every time, even with the same archive - you'd think it'd cache at least something
don't remember which site I saw the results on, I think it was AV comparatives maybe, but defender scored the lowest for file and archive performance by a lot in comparison to others
which is one of the reasons intellij and a few other things have you exclude your project folders from defender with a notification lol
firefox
lol
everytime i've tried another browser, something always lets me down
safari is kinda nice but often has many dumb aspects
e.g. random missing features which causes me to jump to something chrome based; they've commited to working on that "this year", but, we'll see
firefox, idk, i think it's generally I just find somethin missing and the extention just isn't available
another weird thought imagin if out heartbeats become manual if we think about them
i dropped safari because LOTS of bugs and its a hell to develop in and for
is like internet explorer was as a webdev 10 years ago
not as bad
firefox is ok but sometimes i need a chrome browser because some obscure bug in a web too
SPANISH LOTTERY IM TALKING TO YOU FORKING HELL
firefox just knows that gambling is bad 
I mean, i've been saying for months that it's basically the next IE
they know too much yes
and then somebody else on linkedin I think it was said that in a discussion from one of the heads of safaris division or something
For mobile Safari is the new IE in the sense that you're forced to use it but it's not keeping up
but as a webdev, safari has the tools REALLY hidden
they're apparently looking towards resolving that type of stuff but who knows
For desktop Chrome is the new IE in that standards don't matter, people just make it work with Chrome and fuck your browser if it doesn't work for you
This is not a good thing
Chrome is the standard xd
pros and cons, really
new api that chrome just droped?
firefox you better implement it or you go back
if onyl there was a central body defining the web standard...
too much power on chrome
the fact that so many people use chrome is a win in that respect
yes, if only
but, then you basically screw over everybody else
i jus cant use anything else
it is hard to adapt after so many years of usage
Hey!
Plus, you know, Chrome is kind of scummy
We have webm support now!
chrome added an api to "is user away" basically and other ones are following
oh yes, but safari took A LONG time to support webm and webp
Pretty sure Firefox and Safari both said fuck that API
basically the only browser i have ever used since i started using the internet is chrome
vivaldi stripped it out iirc
the issue is that everything is chrome based
absolutley everything
and that sucks a lot
i wish a chromiumfox. a "hey make your easy firefox fork"
the rendering engine is basically the defacto standard because of how much chrome has taken over the web
the extentions ecosystem is far better in chrome
Most of those extensions work in Firefox, the dev just has to upload them
web extensions api sucks ass though
the original firefox addons were way more powerfull
you have like zero control over the UI with chrome extension
while you could modify everything in firefox with addons
The original Firefox addons API wasn't an API 😛
It was here is a DLL file, it can call everything in the browser and in your OS
Which is faster than a request to the config or to the database
Well, okay, you could also make those calls from JS due to XPCOM
But still, it wasn't really a clearly defined API
They had an API but you were also just allowed to call anything
imo if that's what the user wants then they should be allowed to. it's their PC ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Meant they couldn't do quantum stuff, electrolysis, sandboxing, etc because it would break those addons
Also meant addons broke every Firefox update since they were calling into unstable internals
Or directly modified the XUL used to build the browser UI so broke because someone changed an attribute on a tag
Not sure if XUL is even still a thing at this point, they were pushing hard at one point to try to build a working browser UI out of HTML5
the only XUL i see nowadays is being pushed by forks of FF
like Waterfox... or PaleMoon
Forks of ancient versions
PaleMoon 
*Waterfox Classic
Waterfox 4 isn't based on the old codebase anymore
TIL that Palemoon still supports Flash and Java 👀
i guess hot take but what killed Flash weren't the vulnerabilities but the media overexposure around them
also HTML5 starting to be a thing
it was a fine thing and seemed easier to develop stuff for than what's available nowadays for the web
config is directly stored in memory, so it's probably going to be faster, doesn't mean you should use config for data storage tho
flash was vulnerable
I mean, making a game in flash vs making a game in HTML5+JS
apple thankfully killed support for it
never denied that
and in fact it wasn't my point to deny that
I doubt there are people makes games in html5+js without some game engine lol
I mean, flash as a whole was inefficent and generally dated af with much technical debt on the side too
The animation timeline and such for Flash was amazing
the what seemed like persistent new vulv's ontop of the rise of mobile web browsing sealed flashes fate
I did some flash stuff in college and the tooling for animations was pretty nice, not that that stuff is my forte at all
But the only reason it isn't a thing Adobe sells now that produces your animation and a little library to drive it all as JS is because Adobe decided they didn't want to sell that
pretty sure flash to js converters exist though
for some stuff, iirc, yea
They tried for a minute but things weren't quite ready on their end or on the web and then I guess people just got used to youtube videos for that stuff instead
and flash for movie/tv animation is still big afaik
So now those old flash animations are done in After Effects and such and just rendered to a video
For a while AutoTools of all people sold a game UI library that was just a custom Flash runtime
Err, wait, that's not their name
AutoDesk?
that's a name, yes
The people who make CAD software
Yeah, they at least used to sell some game middleware that was just a Flash runtime so you could build your game UI in Adobe's authoring tools and do all the animations and transitions and such there then wire up the events to your game so the buttons actually did things
Battlefield used it, among many other games
Oh right they also own 3ds Max and Maya these days so they're real big on the creative stuff
yeah they do a lot more than just cad stuff nowadays
CPI in the US is up 7.5%, 1.6% of that is just because of supply shortages for cars, crazy
Used car prices are up over 40% because they can't make new cars so everyone is buying up the decent used ones, actual car purchases are still down from 2019 apparently
So what's the difference between Waterfall, Velocity, and Hangar? What do they all do?
Waterfall is to Bungeecord as Paper is to Spigot
Velocity is a from scratch proxy that should be more efficient and have a nicer API but you need all new plugins for it
Hangar is completely unrelated, it's a website
So Velocity is an alternative to Waterfall?
Yeah, more or less
If you can do what you need with Velocity it's the better choice but unless you're a developer or don't need anything fancy out of your proxy you probably can't do what you need with it yet
It has a lot of plugins but it's a whole new ecosystem
Okay, thanks 👍
And by a lot I mean like 12, apparently
How long has it been in development?
I guess Velocity stuff is either only private dev or there just aren't as many users as I thought
Like 3 years
Yeah, that does seem low 🤔
I don't even know why you'd need many plugins on a proxy
But one of those is https://forums.papermc.io/threads/snap-run-bungeecord-plugins-on-velocity.31/ so.... ¯_(ツ)_/¯
This is the Seriously Necessary Adapter Plugin to enable plugins written against the BungeeCord or Waterfall API to load and (kinda) run on Velocity. 👀
Please note that this is currently in an experimental state, you should not run this in production without excessive testing!
Download latest...
think that theres more than that, maybe the old forums? 🤷♂️
Or, wait, didn't velocity have their own forums?
am not sure but I know they had a few more than that
There is some missing API, e.g. no scoreboard API yet
Fucking scoreboards
There's LP, there's some TAB plugins, don't need much more tbh
but, in part, you are losing multiple dozens of years of crud churn
Having your proxy manage your scoreboard sounds alright, until you also try to do something with it in your server
Then pain
Then sadness
Then 🥃
Interesting. I'm planning on running multiple Paper servers on one physical box with either Waterfall or Velocity for friends (whitelist only). If LP works on Velocity, any reason not to go for that? Also will that work, running multiple Paper servers and the proxy on the same box?
no reason to not use it if it meets your needs
and assuming that box has the resources, should be fine
Old dual hex-core xeons, so should be fine.
With Velocity not having a scoreboard API, does that mean there's no way for the proxy to have a scoreboard that stretches across the servers?
Just make sure to use the latest Java version on those.
There are roughly 100 more on the old velocity forums iirc
Has anyone ever worked with hex placeholders which return a string as #123456? how could that be used to color text in chat? doing &%placholder% literally shows &%placeholder% xd
Depends on where it's being displayed and the color code formatting it's expecting
there's like 5 different standard ways of doing hex colors
I mean, you'd need to parse it through a serialiser which actually supports that format
Well, I'm just configuring it xd
I should make posts for the plugins I made
I mean, I'm just working on a config file which is using the string like that
yoo bbaovanc in paper ?
I mean, that's not the standard chat format
no for vleocity

its a couple small plgins
i recognise your name from r/jb 
I mean, it displaying as &%... screams that your palceholder ain't even working
Well, idk, I just have the placeholder heh
wtf
don't mention
i haven't been active there in a long time though
I gtg
No, doing %placeholder% returns the #0000ff, but doing &% breaks it
glhf
So the placeholder does work
typical redditor
fr
It is a towny placeholder btw xd %townyadvanced_town_map_color_hex% is the placeholder
Yup, asked there but there's no answer, it is not much active
I thought this could be a "common" thing with other hex placeholders so maybe someone here could have an answer
The problem is the question you're asking depends on Towny
So... unless someone else here uses it, notices your question, and feels like answering there isn't much chance we'll know what to do there
Only thing I can think of is try without the #
The placeholder itself works, it's just the way of using it to format the chat
Right but it doesn't format the chat because of how Towny works
How does Towny work? I have no unearthly idea
I have no idea, I just said that
Well then it's not that lol
There isn't some standard API in the server Towny is using here, that I'm aware of
So they're doing their own thing
That means how it works depends on knowing Towny
I don't know Towny
I'm talking about a placeholder tho, not about towny
Well it depends on wherever you're putting the placeholder
if %... works but &%... doesn't, ask what is parsing those placeholders
That's why I used the example as something "common"
I give up
lol
yeah, basically that

I've never used Towny, I've never used PlaceholderAPI, I tried to direct you to the people most likely to help, I even tossed in a suggestion that might work just at random
sorry lol discord does it automatically
goes back to work
alr I'll see if they update it like so, maybe that'll work
You aren't even in the right channel to try to ask this kind of question, thinking about it some more
Maybe someone looking at #paper-help knows
Worst case they send you back to the towny discord server
This is where we talk about how RWBY is the best anime ever created
Yeah no, this is not paper related xd is a general config topic
what's rwby? xd
#general doesn't mean "I need help but it's not Paper", it means this is where we shoot the shit 😛
Sometimes there is helping each other with stuff in there
yeaahh ill try there too, there's nothing to lose xd
The way I think about it is if I don't recognize you then you're probably in the wrong place, if you're asking for help in here 😛
rwby is trash an so r u
RWBY always feels like it's just short of being amazing, tbh
The concept, world, and characters are all awesome but usually the episodes just don't quite do it for me

It's all too short snippets that i's like, theres no real flow
The music is the best part of it
🤨
the music was kinda nice but too repetative if you're tryna play catchup
I mean, it gets like that for most shows but, given that it was a stupidly short show
I, uh, definitely don't have all the soundtracks in my iTunes library, no sir
who asked
Leave this server
u wish
I do yes
*we do yes

No wonder cat has like five hundred tabs open
cat has a YouTube video reaction for every possible situation
mhm
He is really predictable
to be fair, i think that's because OH, SHINY!
< scary movie rug piss.gif>
haha maybe haha perhaps lol haha
cringe
:dmca:
copystrike dap

i got banned from citizens discord because they checked the server in my profile and it was with fastlogin xd
i used premium test server for tests and bug report
kinda sus ngl
many people don't support offline mode
some servers hard enforce hat
maybe we should
that would be a blessing
@ aurora pls fix
i agree, but i didnt bother them with offline server
just get michael as a mod to ban all the offline mode users
i can make alt, and hide my server
and report bugs with premium test server
still, kinda sus
I think you're missing the fact that we wish you would go die in a fire 🙂

i have a solution about how to kill cracked servers. Just add in plugins something like a backdoor that works only on cracked servers.
i remember when pmmp tried to kill forks by making plugin devs add virions on their plugins xd
the fact that you call normal minecraft servers "premium" is the problem
idk how to call them
regular minecraft servers
i spend my time with cracked users
old (1.8?) server behind bungeecord in offline mode: 🥲
yes, offline mode not allowed
even if you use bungeecord
i heard that they banned even those who had premium enabled on bungeecord and offline back end servers
:)))
sure
yes, i saw in spigot page
ok
in reviews
right
sure
spigot reviewers are trustworthy and respectable
paying doesnt mean you cant be a dumbass
smh people pay for Minecraft plugins but not Minecraft itself
imagine
idk man, i used a premium test server for test and report, i helped them with the bug, and as a thanks i get muted and banned
for 2 years
the bug is that in newer versions, new players cant use npc that have <p> in commands
If you help the police to catch a burglar but they find out you are a murderer they still arrest you
but, i used premium server for test
why would you have a problem with what i do in private
they not police
just a discord server

Cool, then you can set your server to online mode
if they went that far then they probably wouldn't be very helpful anyways
I'm pretty sure admitting you run a public offline mode server is not only against this server's ToS but against Discord's too
anyway, i fixed my issue, by reverting the update, and gave them a very hard to find bug to fix
i didnt admit
I mean
no idea what prompted them to look
then banned
not only kinda
they have their policies, and, well, seemed like you lied at the very least
Microsoft probably will put an end to cracked servers in the future after the account migrations are done. So
maybe its cuz u lied about it
i have fastlogin, those who bought premium can play
and about half got either premium or bedrock
you mean those who bought minecraft
By about half do you mean 1 normal user and 1 pirate? 😛
but cracked mc will never die
they are protesting because i dont add modpacks
i had like 20 daily players
xd
i had fastlogin, and some tought i put my server in online mode, so i lost 90% of cracked users
I have no idea how you build a server community that doesn't involve $$$$ in ad spends
Was just thinking about that, my answer to how to do it is "be the server /r/minecraft was created for"
[SUPER TITANIUM VIP] Jxjekw11222: I cant buy minecraft cuz I cant afford it
lmao
Fun fact: /r/minecraft wasn't created for the game
for what
It was for the MC server the supermods were playing on
As the game got more popular posts about it basically pushed out the server and they moved somewhere else
now those mc videos with notch make sense
No, those are just kids
right
I'm talking about 2010
so mc, was like a online game?
Uh, it's was Minecraft
premium online
But the subreddit was for a specific MC server, not the game in general
amaranth with the lore dump
this is why i like vps, less than 1$/gb
That server ended up getting pushed to /r/mcpublic btw, they still exist
I think it's even still some of the same people
At some point the founder went afk too long on reddit so they were finally able to get him removed as the top mod on /r/minecraft, kind of sad
I mean, we build our server without direct ads or $$$. Just naturally grew, because all other servers in our country were corrupt or didn't handle the user data correctly.
by doing the advertising yourself
i.e. social media
chad doesnt do work
i am still procrastinating migrating my mc account
ok
avatar is gonna have a sequel in december, and then they plan on making three more
aint that somethin
Got to milk it for all its worth.
pretty sure those were planed since the beginning. the first movie even ends on somewhat of a cliffhanger
Avatar 2 and 3 were talked about like a week after opening day for the first one
They figured it'd take 5+ years for each one so they were planning ahead, or something like that
i just ended a sentence with a semicolon on my homework
also made my first pr to velocit ytoday
