I fucking hate spigots site

void void
#

they're all abandoned it looks like except one or two

#

Like, idk wtf it is, but their cloudflare setup just shits the bed like, once a week

#

(at minimum)

ashen cliff
#

Cuz U A Bot.

void void
#

also I don't know why they're all against adding api for direct download of plugins

golden gust
#

md has been entirely against automated access for years

ashen cliff
#

Because even they know that we can't trust plugin devs.

golden gust
#

The newer API was basically a consession for the fact that the other version API thing was kinda dying afaik

#

so, people where more and more depending on spiget

#

noting that md has threatened IT many times over her website

void void
#

md can do shit about spiget kekw

#

he can only try making downloads harder but inventivetalent will find another way of bypassing this kekw

golden gust
#

i mean, he's not a PHP dev, otherwise limiting that stuff would be somewhat trivial in a sense

ashen cliff
#

To be fair, that whole štik with Spiget broke a lot of other setups... so that's nice.

void void
#

???

#

explain for dum

ashen cliff
#

You used to be able to wget/curl without Cloudflare complaining, but just the /download parts.
Not anymore.

golden gust
#

md tried to basically harden up stuff over the past god knows how long

#

e.g. the fact that you literally can't even access the site much without CF doing a scan

#

md is pretty darn fucking hostile towards automated access to the point where he's more than willing to make much else assery over stuff

ashen cliff
#

So, now I, with the best internet possible, have to download a 10MB jar and suffer for 3 minutes while it uploads to my server.

void void
#

what does assery mean

#

hangar coming soon™️ right?

#

if it's not gonna have another rewrite

Yea, it's a WIP, but, mini is much happier with the tech stack now

thx kenny

btw

#

Why you don't run your IntelliJ normally? (Like you're using some different app for it)

something like a vm idk

It's normal IntelliJ, just inside of wslg to not have to wait a minute for the patch process because Windows

I'm gonna take a look at it, thanks so much

I somehow forgot that this a thing, I need to setup that as well, WSL is so slow

Just let other people do the patching zoop

@meager tusk did you manage to dismantle that virus?

why is NPM such a mess

I just want, when locally, vite to auto update dependencies from a 1st party package I have locally

but the whole dependency module seems to make that impossible

I never really liked how npm does its dep tree stuff but i honestly wouldnt know how they could do it better

not touching JS seems to be a good solution tho blaze

Economy system plugin reccomendation? there's too much available

formal void
#

dumb question: where’d the name “paper” come from?

worthy geode
#

people mean different things when saying "economy plugin". Some just want money, some also expect stuff like shops etc

brave mountain
void geyser
#

Thats just it, i don't want to make my servers pay to win, You can't get coin with real money

worthy geode
#

that would be against the EULA

void geyser
#

wdym?

#

what i mean by "money" is like the in game money

#

i changed the money to "coins" to avoid confusions

#

in the Vaults Spigot there is a list of Economy system, but everything in there seems old

golden gust
#

I mean

#

it's an eco plugin

#

they're very darn simple outside of the ones which try to add a lot of extra unneeded fluff

#

and, very few other than those wanting to just add fluff bother creating eco plugins these days

#

find a maintained fork of craftconomy is the general recommendation these days

quasi valley
#

Unneeded fluff like UUID support? kappapride

void geyser
#

yeah so, your recommendation that's still maintained at least?

#

I don't want to use like 7 years old plugin

golden gust
#

yes, that's my recommendation

#

it's either that or go hire a dev

void geyser
#

does that still works tho?

golden gust
#

-.-

#

maintained fork

#

maintained

wet storm
#

-.-

void geyser
#

turns out EssentialX is enough

#

bruh

golden gust
#

well, yea, essentials comes with essentialsecon built in

twin lagoon
#

still impressive how no one has built a proper economy plugin

golden gust
#

in a world with vault, yea...

#

Like, if you wanna make a replacement eco plugin, these days, you really need to replace vault

#

replacing vault you either gotta provide a bridge for vault or convince people to support your new fancy thing

#

then you gotta like, deal with actually creating the new eco plugin

hi guys. is there any plugin to add a fee for entering end or nether portals?
i want my players to pay to go the end.

damn it

#

like, whats the use of that?

#

well at least that need a perm

#

i should've test it without op permission

ashen cliff
#

Depends on your server I guess.
There is a lot of things that can be done with negative balance, but again, depends on you.

#

Could just make the player totally bankrupt and make them pay debt. kekwhyper

void geyser
#

Send him to gulag

magic river
#

There is a whole server type for that

ashen cliff
#

Also seen that done. If you go below lets say 100, you get send to a jail where you have to cut wood and sell it, till you have enough money to get out.

#

Or escape...

and get banned twice.

#

Going wildly offtopic from #paper-dev so moving here, whatever happened to all the people who would sell you a plugin to add X+1 features to version X? Did ViaVersion kill the market since people mostly just wanted the protocol compat and not all the new features?

#

There were like 2 or 3 updates where people were selling plugins or forks of CraftBukkit where they patched in protocol support and new blocks and crap

golden gust
#

viaversion killed it especially as more stuff became dependent on new chunk gen anyways

#

I don't really recall the plugin to do that surviving all too far, tbqh

#

biggest thing people wanted was to avoid losing players who didn't know how to use the launcher to select a version, people can live without extra features for a few weeks and is a better alternative than them just not being able to connect

magic river
#

I know for one release md5 put out a spigot build that added protocol support just to spite those people 😛

golden gust
#

Yea, but then there was a plugin which added the missing blocks for him 😄

#

that was basically in the middle of the DMCA drama

worn ember
#

Someone just made an issue about RTP "endlessly generating new chunk" in a void world...

#

I wonder why

magic river
#

TIL PNG is meant to be pronounced "ping" and was originally called PING for "PING Is Not GIF"

#

PNG is pronounced "ping".

little frost
#

and they called it ping because they saw how ambiguous gif was so they thought "there's no way PNG is ambiguous and can't be pronounced in any way other than ping"

#

except I've only ever heard P-N-G

magic river
#

"PNG" is always spelled* "PNG" (or "Portable Network Graphics") and always pronounced "ping" in English, not "pinj" or "pee en gee" or any other multi-syllabic disaster.

vernal moth

#

any other multi-syllabic disaster.

Okay, gimme a second, I am gonna put together a meme server.

#

Time to generate 200 legacy plugins lets go

wet storm
rare python
#

I am not joking by the way.

#

I am being serious

rare python
worthy geode
#

oh no

rare python
#

So in about half an hour? There will be a server with 666 plugins, you will know who that is.

#

Maybe I should increase the count?

neon bramble
rare python
#

maybe 66666?

neon bramble
#

420666

rare python
#

My computer cant handle more then 6 didgets.

neon bramble
#

Or 42069

#

Too many options

rare python
#

I can't open the plugins folder in my file manager.

#

It causes it to lag out or crash.

#

Its too many plugins

#

There is also the question if the server can handle it.

wet storm
#

btw, what do you think, what is the most legacy component in Bukkit API?

rare python
#

As in the oldest?

#

Umm.

#

mv cant move the plugins

#

There is too many

#

Uhhhh

#

I guess I will have to generate them in place.

Torture.

oh my God

Ever wondered what a braindead amount of plugins looks like?

66666 Legacy Plugins

What does it do?

But what?

#

I wonder if the server is playable.

native wolf

# rare python But what?

some Material / ItemsStack conversions, really weird NMS interact with World / Blocks etc. and it contains int IDs of all legacy materials

#

Imagine people using it cuz "int is faster than Strings or NamespacedKeys"...

rare python
#

Sadly the timings report for the server won't load.

#

Wonder why?

golden gust
#

mfw

#

it uses php, said script times out after some time

Just display plugins in the tablist.

The question is, how many of the actual legacy plugins are just plugins that don't specify an API version.

vernal moth
ashen cliff
#

Can't be having that.

#

It's nice that they probably also added a new dupe method. Thank you for another entity with storage. kekwhyper

rare python
#

Time to stay on 1.18.2 forever.

Shutting down this server with 66666 plugins takes a very long time.

Did you at least unregister them? kekwhyper

im worried

#

i got an email from work that I should come to their office for an "evaluation"

#

what does that even mean?!

#

im worried

#

was i a bad worker?

#

i dont know anything

#

im worried

#

it doesnt feel good at all

#

i dont know what to do

vernal moth
#

I have an "evaluation" every 3 months, lol

void void
#

im worried

#

what did i mess up that they are calling me to the office?

magic river
#

I'm supposed to, seems people only care about the end of year one

vernal moth
#

its the formal meeting where my boss tells me am doing great and sometimes gives me more money, lol

magic river
#

Well, and the goal setting one which isn't really an eval

void void
#

i dont want to go their office

#

i want them to stay as far away as possible from me

magic river
#

How long have you worked there?

void void
#

i just want to go to work and make money

#

1 month

#

i have barely even started working here and they already call me to their office

magic river
#

Could just be to see how you're doing

#

You work remote but are close enough to be called in to the office?

void void
#

they could do that on the phone or on email

#

i dont want them calling me to their office

#

like what the heck

magic river
#

Face to face they can be more personable, see if you're lying about being okay with things, etc

void void
#

i probably made too many mistakes and now they might tell me bye bye

magic river
#

Maybe introduce you to people

void void
magic river
#

Or, yeah, they could be telling you this was a trial period and it's not going to work out

void void
#

i am nervous around people

#

especially in a formal setting

void void
#

noooo

#

what will i do then?

magic river
#

Normally trial period would be 3 months but maybe you're really obviously bad at your job

void void
#

noooo

#

what will i do

magic river
#

1 month I'd expect it's more of just a "how are you doing getting up to speed?" and such

void void
#

i need this job

#

nooo

#

no one else gets an "evaluation" meeting

#

fuck

#

i wanna cry

#

shit

#

no

magic river
#

Are you bad at your job?

void void
#

i have probably made too many mistakes

magic river
#

You can't tell?

hexed dragon
#

Never counted.

void void
#

to me it seemed like they arent too many but what do i know

magic river
#

If you can't think of anything you've done obviously wrong like swearing at the customers or skipping work half the week then it's probably just them trying to be friendly and make sure you aren't having any troubles

void void
#

but i did make a lot of mistakes one time

magic river
#

Or it's them bringing you to to teach you the things they think you're having trouble with

void void
#

and i've probably made a decent amount of mistakes afterwards

magic river
#

The only time I've ever seen someone get fired after a month it was because they missed 1-3 days of work every week

hexed dragon
#

This doesn't sound that bad.

golden gust
#

companies know that the first few months of hiring a dev is generally wasted time

#

unless you really fucked up it's probs just seeing how it's going, march reviews, etc

magic river
#

Like, you have to really screw up to get fired after a month unless the place you're working for is awful

void void
#

i probably did

magic river
#

No, it would be very obvious if you screwed up like that

#

void void
#

#

they dont necessarily need to get rid of me

#

they have the option of making me work at a lower position

omg i hate md_5 why did he put so much cloudflare into spigot

i click on "Insert quotes" and i get a cloudflare error -_-

"so much cloudflare"

It's a proxy, it sits in front of the whole site

He isn't doing some extra integration or something

It's on or off

im fairly sure he does some voodoo magic in the site's settings in cloudflare

i mean im in the site and i click on "Inset quotes" and I get a cloudflare error like wtf dude

Was the cloudflare error something like "the server didn't respond"? LULW

void void
golden gust
#

You can configure how hard CF goes

#

and generally these days he has CF configured kinda hard

magic river
#

Clicking that button apparently made a network request

#

Which means cloudflare because it's all through cloudflare

void void
#

yes i know what 429 means it means too many requests

#

ratelimited

magic river
#

Are you botting the forums or something? 😛

void void
#

wtf no

#

it is common to get these since like 2-3 weeks or sth

magic river
#

It's not really "because of cloudflare", it just does what md5 told it to 😛

void void
#

im fairly sure he set a ratelimit of 1 request per 5 seconds or something like that

#

20 requests per min or sth

#

i did ratelimits once in my life and it was a painful experience

magic river

I just jumped around threads pretty hard, worked fine

So it must not be that low

void void
#

so you redirected requests to different threads

#

oh wait nvm i thought we're on java topic now

i have so many shit in my head

I don't think cloudflare has any kind of social credit system where you look fishy so you get a lower limit

void void
# worn ember tell me why they should care about a 0.01% userbase?

here's the loophole: people can't realize there's a better OS than windows: linux, but even if they do realize it's better they won't switch because there aren't many mainstream apps supporting linux and there aren't more mainstream apps supporting linux because linux doesn't have much userbase currently

people aren't gonna generally care to screw around with a free alternative for something which they need for work, etc

so people want to pay 100$ to that dogshit company microsoft instead of using an OS for free

sadly, the only variant of Wine where MS Office works normally is CrossOver, which is paid and proprietary

100$ is fuck all for something which works

most people will either have a windows copy included with their computer and then you also have people who just buy sketchy keys for $7

alternatively they just use a github activation script PepeLa

And for enterprise, I mean, 100 dollars is nothing to them

Like, at the end of the day, people expect shit to work

yeah linux still doesn't excel in good user experiences (not that windows or apple do either, but they're still better)

to be fair, most desktop distros today include a GUI installer that installs packages in similar fashion to MSI installers

How often do you see a profile such as RoostersEatYou

the GUI installer only works for stuff in there

and for cases where the OS has a standardised package type which venders offer

void void

@golden gust sorry but I have to ping you, chat became messy. So you tell me searching in google, downloading a .msi or .exe file from a shady website is safer than using a package manager (be it from the terminal or a gui installer, such as pop shop)

I think that, even if you give the average user a working environment that has everything they need with fancy GUIs and stuff, the user will not understand why this is different to just using Windows.

Anyways, back to lurking/schoolwork. 👋

Productivity wise macOS is by far the best (imo), gaming wise windows rocks it unfortunately

To some extent, if you have to read the GUI is probably not very well designed.

You have to remember that computers and the web are, in the scheme of things, a recent thing

many websites are also just badly designed

yeah turning up frequency would boost how far you can use the internet

?

or something idk

2.4GHz is longer range than 5GHz

Its something

#

buying a faster computer wont get you faster internet will it

#

only if it's being overwhelmed

#

different channe

#

channel

#

and im pretty sure using a different one signifigantly increases range

#

but effects with other more important channels

#

idk how it works exactly

lower frequency travels further but has a lower transmission rate

raven basin
#

thats not what I mean

magic river
#

It's waves, lower frequency the waves are more spread out so it takes longer to read N of them

lilac moon
#

it could increase signal quality if youre switching from a congested channel to an empty one

#

which in a way equals more speed because less failures and retries

raven basin
#

not past your max bandwidth tho

magic river
#

Those are 5GHz wifi channels?

lilac moon
#

some of those are 2.4 GHz

#

but yeah

#

but the higher you go, the lower range but faster rate

magic river
#

Pretty sure 2.4GHz channel 7 is legal in the US so I don't think so...

lilac moon
#

oh wait i only read the one that said like 12

#

yeah 1-11 is legal

magic river
#

Plus it says 4.9-5.825 on the top 😛

raven basin
#

Idk

lilac moon
#

close enough
