I thiiiink that was cos they kept advertising broadband in the area but it wasn't available yet, and so they gave her that as a concession before we got broadband a year or two later or something

vernal moth
#

I don't remember dealing with dialup

#

I think I wasn't allowed to use the internet at that age, just played games with my dad

#

I think we already had broadband tho too, like we moved when I was 5, I don't remember much before that, but at that house pretty sure we always had "broadband", this was 2002

magic river
#

I think we still had dialup when I got XP, I remember downloading it a couple months before it released

#

That classic "leaked" (I think it was an MSDN release) gold master enterprise edition and key

#

That was around the same time I was using free dialup ISPs in the US that were basically a custom dialer and web browser in one app that would show you ads on the side the whole time you were connected

#

I figured out how to get the phone numbers and auth details out of them so I could just use a Windows DUN connection, no ads

vernal moth
#

Wait the web had ads that early?

magic river
#

Although one of them would then disconnect you every 30 minutes if you did that so I always used download managers (or, you know, kazaa or direct connect or whatever) so I could resume downloads

#

Opera was a big deal back then because it had a popup blocker

#

Most ads then were popup ads or big gaudy images

golden gust
#

I mean, once shit started taking off people had to get cash from it somehow

magic river
#

Google was the one that showed you could make bank on simple text ads although they didn't stick with that for long after they took over...

golden gust
#

and, space which is basically always there is a bit of a steal especially as advertising was stupidly cheap back in those days

magic river
#

Oh, that reminds me, amusingly enough the reason Google was so plain and simple and their ads were too was because Larry and Sergey didn't know HTML

#

They learned enough to slap together their product (which, I remind you, is basically a giant HTML parser...) and make something functional

#

TIL PageRank was originally meant to be an algorithm to determine how useful a research paper is by looking at how often and in what manner it was cited in other papers

wide chasm
#

iirc because Google's web page was so simple, people that used Google initially would just wait and stare at their screen because they thought the page wasn't done loading yet.

Do you remember that you used AOL trial CDs to get free internet minutes?
https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/87291/youve-got-mail-history-aols-free-trial-cds

That was probably my first internet contact.

My Windows history:
95, 98, (NT), 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10

Sad that I did not start with 3.1

AOL's free trial CDs may have been a nuisance throughout the '90s, but they paved the way for an internet boom.

golden gust
#

I skipped vista and was kinda phasing out away from windows at the time of 10, never used NT as that was really just a business thing (but, did toy with it in a few VMs years ago just cos)

magic river
golden gust
#

I mean, we had them over here

#

their CDs weren't as thrown around over here as much but I've come across a CD or two

#

Kinda weird that places like AOL are still around

magic river
#

Nothing on their wiki pages suggests they were an ISP anywhere but the US

#

Wouldn't be surprised if some of their floppies or CDs got over there though

golden gust
#

part of the talktalk group

#

Well...

magic river
#

TIL AOL had a spinoff in the UK doing DSL

#

They had 100,000 customers in the UK

golden gust
#

Yea, I don't remember them being big

#

Like, everybody I knew was with telewest back in those days, before they became virgin media

magic river
#

Huh, and all of their dialup connections went to Dulles, Virginia

#

Which probably made it very convenient for No Such Agency to look at

#

This shit just got a major rewrite in 2021 and is actively being developed, last update was on the 25th

#

It apparently still looks like that

#

That is 9.8.2 but version 11 (the rewrite) is supposed to keep mostly the same look and features

#

That's a Chrome skin πŸ˜›

how do you have enough time to both be on discord and work on paper?

He's trying to usurp my grumpy old man role

Although iirc he does still do PR review

dapper pumice

cat once mentioned that he want to take a step away from discord to have more time πŸ˜„

#

Amar a guy told me to start making plugins before properly learning java and now I'm spending far too much time on a simple problem

worn crest
#

More time for paper is good πŸ˜… support can do a lot of other ppl but not so a high level like cat

magic river
#

I dunno, if you just close out communication it's hard to keep motivated

dapper pumice
#

imagine... discord without cat.. Anarchy!

void void
#

i should reevaluate my decisions

magic river

On the other hand that communication can be very distracting

golden gust
#

I remember the days of starting to work on paper

#

it was fun, especially as it was a small project which allowed I with like, 2-3 years or so of experience with java a shot

#

Now, I hardly have time to code

Like, these days I deal more with the politics and review of stuff and internal discussions rather than actually working on stuff

I only learned how to even compile it in July 2011, did some plugin dev for a few months, then after like one PR to the project I ended up as one of the core devs in I think March 2012

I learned how to compile it a day after I learned how to read and somewhat write it by decompiling the CraftBukkit jar to find and 'fix' a bug, had a fix but didn't know how to put it back in to a jar πŸ˜„

Dude when I get up to get something to drink in the middle of a work day I end up back at my desk maybe 30 minutes later after having taken the trash out, gone to the bathroom, got the robot vacuum started, fed the cat, etc

I really wanna get into the habit of closing discord more often

magic river
#

Weird, I guess the wiki page for them is just awful

#

It only mentions they even offered broadband in a statement about them raising dialup prices to the same as broadband to try to get people to switch and only mentions anything outside the US in a statement about selling AOL UK

dapper pumice
#

Aol was also a pretty huge isp in Germany, besides telekom

proud lance
#

Excuse me it's America Online not Germany Online

magic river

I suppose that's why they just went by AOL over there πŸ˜›

This isn't really a support question so I'll ask here instead. Is there a comparison between the performance of Spigot VS PaperMC somewhere someone has made?

foggy silo
#

I mean, tbh it’s pretty easy to test yourself because there is QUITE a difference.

warm anchor
#

It was a joke notlikerie

golden gust
#

I mean, basically, nothing done by anybody who knows what they're doing

#

benchmarking logic which is heavily Math.random() would be stupid

warm anchor
#

I mean the difference is pretty noticeable but no one is gonna bother to do a proper benchmark style report because it cannot be done

solid pine
#

It doesn't have to be precise, though. Just an average from one test comparing the two would do. And I'd rather not do it myself since I'm quite busy at the moment and don't really think it's worth doing a performance test myself just for my own curiosity

golden gust
#

and then spigot basically stops ticking entities and such if they take too long to pretend that "all is fine"

foggy silo
#

If you want you can look at certain parts, like the lighting engine, which is totally rewritten in Paper (starlight)

warm anchor
#

If it doesn’t tick it doesn’t lag PMA

foggy silo
#

There are benchmarks on that on the official starlight repo (iirc)

vernal moth
#

For starters, paper load chunks async

#

That's a giant improvement

solid pine
#

I'm fully aware that Paper is much, much faster, at least in my experience. I was just looking for an "easy answer" but it sounds like it's a lot more complicated than that, which I should have expected tbh

vernal moth
#

Putting numbers to this is impossible, but like, there's a reason 85% of the community uses paper

#

And there is no reason to use spigot

warm anchor
#

69% of numbers are made up @solid pine EmaBkr

vernal moth
solid pine
#

Spigot updates first though, right? So for cutting edge purposes I suppose Spigot has it's uses.

vernal moth
#

Just so the people see that my numbers aren't made up, lol

#

Paper updated within hours

#

We just think it's irresponsible to release builds, for people who want to test they can build the branch, since all work is open, always

golden gust
#

well, we base off spigot, so, given that they don't release anything until their ready, we're kinda stuck in the mud on that front

#

but, we do plan to break away from them

solid pine
golden gust
#

Yes

#

There was like one "fun" issue which needs to be looked into before we're ready to release afaik

solid pine
# golden gust Yes

Color me impressed, then. Speaking of that, where is the 1.18.2 branch located? I searched for it today but couldn't find it.

#

But, god knows

ashen cliff
#

So, why haven't you fixed it yet Cat?

golden gust

cos my brain is poop and the area where the issue falls into is a nightmare of overengineering and stupid decisions

Imagine, if you will, that you rush to finish a feature request that already came in late for the release cycle. This feature basically boils down to deleing a record but there is a bit more to it and we had to build a UI for it in the iPad too. Then, the day before release they decide they want it to only delete 7 days after someone pushes the button so that the iPad can have its UI changed to not ask for confirmation since someone can just push the button again to undelete it. Oh, and this needs to be in the release still.

open sourcing that is just handing over a primary asset to your competaters

as for open source, it's overrated

read up on mythical man month

magic river
#

The server is the valuable thing for Minecraft, you can replace the client as a one man project in not too much time

golden gust
#

people often think that open sourcing an app, especially one which is old af, magically fixes stuff

#

Like, all you do is introduce more toes to step on

simple karma
golden gust
#

you get into the point where you have to consider "am I gonna fuck over 1/2 the PR queue if I do this",etc

then you end up introducing more work as now you've gotta have people to work on the queue, which detracts from the stuff which actually pulls in cash

local vars aren't mapped

golden gust

The mappings don't include parameter names or local variable names

neon bramble

I see I see

golden gust
#

Not really

#

Like, have you seen the communities tooling?

magic river
#

Those are usually not hard to guess when you have everything else although that assume the code is sanely designed πŸ˜›

golden gust
#

Like, if you're not using a mod loader you're generally being stupid

magic river
#

Forge tooling adds those names and adds javadoc to things

neon bramble
golden gust
#

and, things like forge already have a project which has decomp fixes, etc

magic river
#

MC doesn't even have javadoc for those things in their actual source code πŸ˜„

golden gust
#

Like, people think that open sourcing the server would magically improve stuff

#

But, I mean, the modding ecosystem is practically there without mojangs hand

magic river

Unless they made it a community project it wouldn't change anything, really

neon bramble

bro πŸ’€ dudes hacked nvidia and told them to open source their drivers

neon bramble
#

yup

magic river
#

Like, unless I can get async chunk loading PR'ed to the official server source there is no benefit to having source code vs quilt and a patch file

neon bramble
#

they need to decide tommorow

magic river
#

nvidia isn't open sourcing shit

neon bramble
#

true

#

even if they leak that stuff

#

noone can really make it

#

and considering amd reported guy from intel that wanted to leak them secret stuff

magic river
#

Those people hacked nvidia for ransom, nvidia decided they could afford to deal with the fallout so told the hackers to fuck off, the hackers are pretending they've got a noble cause as they make good on their threats bit by bit hoping nvidia will cave

neon bramble
#

amd won't use it either

simple karma
neon bramble

but nvidia is really asshole too

I wish it was only screentearing

#

I usually update my packages when I start my pc

#

and everytime i update even something remotely related to nvidia drivers

#

I cannot start a game until next reboot

little frost
#

you have to reboot after, that's just how it works

neon bramble
#

That's how it exactly shouldn't work on Linux

little frost
#

that's exactly how it does work

neon bramble
#

it does

golden gust
#

I mean, depends on much stuff

neon bramble
#

and that's why I hate those drivers

#

Updating them at runtime works fine on windows

golden gust
#

firefox for example can shit the bed if you update the app while it's running

#

they even made it tell you off

neon bramble
#

I use chrome, yes I use chrome on linux, not chromium, chrome

#

I'm a normie

golden gust
#

un/loading kernel modules at runtime can be a PITA

little frost
#

good luck updating anything after updating the kernel and not rebooting

golden gust
#

I'd imagine that they just didn't care enough to wanna deal with the whole shebang on linux

neon bramble
#

yeah

#

but amd drivers work way better, that's the thing

golden gust
#

even on windows they still recommend that you reboot, just, sometimes you can get away with it

neon bramble
#

So my next GPU won't be Nvidia ℒ️

magic river
#

You can't reload the kernel module that is driving your display, iirc

#

You'd have to first close everything using it

neon bramble
#

idk, what I've heard amd drivers manage this

#

or manage to update without breaking your session

magic river
#

AMD drivers don't change their userspace ABI every update

neon bramble
#

and that's ok

magic river
#

They aren't allowed to, Linus would reject the patches

half escarp
#

only uses it for like all online players or get offline player etc

lilac moon
magic river
#

I don't think AMD even makes a separate kernel driver anymore

lilac moon
#

Can't open a terminal because kitty uses opengl!

neon bramble
magic river
#

I think they do ship one as a DKMS thing so they can backport stuff to old kernels, for their "pro" drivers

lilac moon
#

It seems to work fine on other distros

neon bramble
magic river
#

But even their closed source userspace stuff just uses the open source kernel driver

neon bramble
lilac moon
magic river
#

DKMS has nothing to do with whether you can reload the module πŸ˜›

neon bramble
lilac moon
#

No

#

I used to use st but st is from sucky software

magic river
#

GPU accelerated text rendering if you don't have a hidpi screen is a bad idea

neon bramble
#

idk I use most of the apps available in the KDE toolset

magic river
#

Efficiently rendering on a GPU basically requires no subpixel antialiasing (aka no cleartype)

lilac moon
#

st is AFAIK the fastest and most responsive terminal though. Just it's so barebones because those suckless guys suck

neon bramble
#

With KDE it is usually hit or miss, some of their apps are great and some are garbage

I have considered going to gnome

Apple hardware is kinda trash, but macOS is miles ahead of Windows tbh

For laptops unless you were buying ones that didn't solder in the RAM and SSD you haven't really been able to get something better for less (or not that much less) for a while

With the M1 versions you literally can't get a laptop better, no matter how much money you want to spend

neon bramble

well, back then there was stuff like MS office

plucky sparrow

About 900$/1000$

neon bramble
native wolf
magic river

Like, I went with my XPS 13 instead of a 2020 13" MBP because the MBP was $1000 more but that's only because I could put a different SSD in the XPS

golden gust

random other proprietry apps, etc

magic river

If I tried to get the spec I actually wanted from both the MBP was only like $300 more iirc

neon bramble
golden gust

wasn't an option

neon bramble

Fortunately, I do not work at all, which would require me to use unrunnable software

#

And school is the same

golden gust
#

google docs back then was somewhat bleh still

neon bramble
#

Yeah

magic river
#

Now with the M1 and M1P/M1X versions they still overcharge for RAM and storage (like everyone else...) but they also sell the fastest and most power efficient laptops you can buy so...

neon bramble

In the quarantine times, it has gone a long way

libreoffice would literally mangle documents to all shit when passed over to office, etc

neon bramble

magic river

No, ARM has almost nothing to do with it

neon bramble
#

I created a single slideshow in libreoffice

golden gust
#

apple like every company have a premium on their stuff

magic river
#

They could have made something about as good that was x86, if Intel and AMD would let them

golden gust
#

apples premium has often been much more than others

neon bramble
#

and it completely fucked up with the 2009 powerpoint we have at school

#

since then I am only using the g suite

magic river
#

They have a completely custom CPU design, it just speaks ARM at the top level

neon bramble
#

whatever

#

I probably won't get apple product soon anyway

#

so idc

magic river
#

And it even speaks a custom version of ARM that has support for an x86 feature to accelerate their emulation for old apps

golden gust
#

Well, hey

#

I heard intel was gonna deliver on their power/thermal ratings

#

one day

#

runs

neon bramble
#

I am very hyped for the new amd cpus

magic river
#

Alder Lake is faster and/or more efficient than AMD in the laptop world

warm anchor
magic river
#

AMD wins at the low end though, once you allow them both to use enough wattage to get anywhere close to their advertised performance numbers Intel wins on perf and perf/W though

neon bramble
#

And this screen

neon bramble
#

They were available here pretty much all the time and not really with inflated price

#

but I've waited a year for a gpu

ashen cliff
#

Yeah, we didn't have issues with CPU supply in the EU.

neon bramble
#

yup

magic river
#

Yeah that's actually the video I was thinking of, pretty sure

neon bramble
#

r9 5900x for 600€ go brrrrr

magic river
#

Where they show Intel wins except at the lower wattage levels

neon bramble
#

And the performance is still meh

golden gust
#

and only took AMD many years to catch up kek

neon bramble
#

yup

#

I hope it will continue, because this competition brings huge improvements

magic river
#

Ryzen is on what is supposed to be a better node too

neon bramble
#

like when Intel was in leadership, there were pretty small improvements over generations

#

Now it is like 30% per core for generation?

magic river
#

Most of that Intel stalling everyone points to was just 10nm failure

neon bramble
#

And not even mentioning the core count increasing pretty fast

magic river
#

Before that they were doing 10-15% a year improvements

lilac moon
#

All I know.about amd is my friends complaining about stability and bugs

neon bramble
ashen cliff
#

Just make sure to exclude Broadwell from the charts.

magic river
#

They spent like 6 years stuck on 14nm selling small variants of Skylake

neon bramble
#

For a simple reason

#

no competition -> no reason

magic river
#

No

neon bramble
#

that's why I hope this situation isn't going to end

magic river
#

The reason was their 10nm node was a failure

ashen cliff
#

Hey, remember the flagship i7 5775C?
kekwhyper

neon bramble
magic river
#

It took way too long and underperformed. They wanted to make faster and more efficient things, they would have had to change their entire business model and become just another TSMC customer to do so

#

Except TSMC doesn't have room for them

neon bramble
#

on a completely side note

#

do you think that the chip foundries in taiwan have something like self destruct button in case china invades them?

golden gust
#

don't need a self destruct button

magic river
#

I think they've hinted they do in fact have something like that and Taiwan's military has some ordinance pointed at them

neon bramble
#

?

golden gust
#

just walk in with a pillow full of feathers and rip it open

neon bramble
#

yup

#

but you know

#

just to be sure

ashen cliff
#

Or just remove the water filters.

#

ASML will be happy either way.

neon bramble
#

it would be great if TMSC were to open some foundries in europe

#

having it all on taiwan just seems like a very bad idea to me

ashen cliff
#

Nope. Stay TF away from our water.

neon bramble
#

Why?

magic river
#

btw if Intel did become a TSMC customer TSMC would have to drop like half their existing customers to fit them in

neon bramble
#

yup

magic river
#

So yeah, Intel spent years stuck with a broken node

#

They did finally backport some of their 10nm designs to 14nm, I think one of them even got released

#

It was an impressive performance boost but the power usage was awful

#

Rocket Lake, I think

neon bramble
#

yupp

#

wasn't that like 200W+ TDP?

ashen cliff
magic river
#

With Alder Lake Intel has retaken the efficiency crown from AMD at the idle/low usage level and at the full blast level

neon bramble
#

well I think that is going to change very soon

magic river
#

AMD only wins if you heavily limit maximum power usage and need full performance

neon bramble
#

isn't that really the case with ntbs?

magic river
#

Non-tariff barriers to trade?

neon bramble
#

XEOMEGALULN

magic river
#

Well, sure, in the server space you have a ton of cores all operating in that in between range where AMD performs better

ashen cliff
#

It's close tho.

magic river
#

Alder Lake lets Intel win at the low end due to the little/efficiency cores and they win in perf/W (and raw performance) against AMD on the high end of the frequency curve with their big/performance cores but in a server you have a bunch of the performance cores but all of them are heavily throttled

neon bramble
#

I mean

#

aren't xeon cpus like 3 times more expensive? (per core)

magic river
#

I dunno, EPYC's have gotten pretty spendy afaik

#

They probably still win but I don't think it's as big of a gap as the first EPYC

ashen cliff
#

Price is about the same, but you get way more PCIe and memory support.
But you give up on Pmem.

if you have no budget you don't need to prepare for 50k ccu either

Cause ewwww php

Would need to find a way to change the theme on the fly, is that possible?

you'd have to change the users theme based on the preference, which would need a reload

can't dynamically swap

On load, check prefers dark media query, if yes, change window.location to that

magic river
#

btw it looks like the WG position on that feature is "no, this is dumb" πŸ˜›

#

The base problem of this proposal is the exposure of user state rather than client capabilities of user preference media features. This allows user state handling on the server side which can lead to race conditions and undesired error state and user experience. One that doesn't exist today with media features which are evaluated and handled on the client side. This is not a safe pattern and should be avoided.

the API is basically just a library like any other, learn the basics of the basics in Bukkit's wiki which is still around and then just navigate through the javadocs

#

and and look at forums

no need for Minecraft courses lmfao

Once you know Java doing plugins isn't too hard to figure out

Ok so after digging in a little more it looks like this Redmi Note 9T is now a paperweight in the US

#

Hmm, well, maybe if I get a one month T-Mobile SIM... will have to check that

#

You can't even put a new AT&T sim in to it to use only for SMS and data, they won't activate it

magic river
#

Nope, T-Mobile told me to fuck off too

Supposedly everyone is a bit shit at implemented VoLTE so they need to certify all of them actually work

#

Europe seems to do okay though

#

Then again I think I'm looking at a post about a German telco doing the same certification whitelisting so...

#

Oh they're actually Dutch

vernal moth
#

VoLTE sometimes even is a paid addon

magic river
#

the GSMA (A mobile telco lobby organisation who don’t allow MVNO’s to be a member), maintain the NSX database with operator settings including for VoLTE and VoWiFi, which handset makers could use but don’t. Apple and Samsung flat out refuse.

#

Seems both sides are jerks about it

#

Sounds like regulator needs to step in, lol

magic river
#

The big problem is that they apparently don't have a good enough test suite for VoLTE and VoWifi so they're all subtly incompatible

vernal moth
#

Standards, woooo

quick obsidian
magic river
#

It's up to Qualcomm, Mediatek, Android, Apple, the carriers, etc to work together to sort all that shit out but both sides seem to be lazy, cheap, or view it as a means to control/upsell things

#

the 3GPP was only mentioned as the organisation that chose the wrong VoLTE implementation (out of six proposals?) Other than that the 3GPP appears to play no role here.. (Weird in my opinion that we have a global standard, that no one agrees on, rough consensus and running code is not a thing here it seems.) The story I heard was that everybody kind of forgot to standardize VoLTE, because they thought another 3GPP working group would do it. But you know, that is just as good as 6 ideas and the wrong one chosen.

#

TIL GSM started as Europe deciding this shit needed to be interoperable and 13 countries agreeing to enforce that

vernal moth
#

I mean, that's how most standards started

magic river
#

I'm used to the internet πŸ˜›

vernal moth
#

In Europe stuff is much closer connected so interoperability is way more important

magic river
#

Most standards in the real world are "Germany thinks of thing, documents the shit out of it, everyone just copies that" πŸ˜„

vernal moth
#

Well internet was military, we don't do that here

magic river
#

I think that's legitimately how things like building codes work

#

A country, state, city, etc might tweak things a bit or add things but they all start with the German version as a base

#

all I wanna do is

#

is wack mini with a DIN rail

magic river
#

GSM started outside of ETSI though, it didn't start as "we should try to come up with some kind of standards here" and then regulators enforced usage of it later. The regulators started out deciding everyone was going to use the same thing, started work on the standard, then transferred it to ETSI.

#

Maybe that's normal in Europe, dunno

#

It sure isn't over here

vernal moth
#

Still angry that EVs didn't standardized one plug, ccs, and now everybody also needs to deal with chademo

magic river
#

Our regulators are pretty much always reactionary and either wait for the various incompatible things to start working together or for their to be a clear winner
