00:10 Sokomine aerozoic: afaik krock ran his server for quite some time on an old laptop. it worked fine. a pi might be sufficient for a creative server with not too many complex mods
00:20 aerozoic Watching with the top command, my server is bouncing between 5 and 30% with an i7 4.0ghz cpu.

08:32 IcyDiamond joined #minetest-hub
08:32 tenplus1 hi diamond :P
08:33 tenplus1 PigIron updated to 0.4: Bronze and Steel tool_capabilities switched since steel is much stronger irl
08:33 IcyDiamond hey tenplus1
08:33 IcyDiamond my server had decided it wants to reboot overnight
08:33 IcyDiamond xD
08:33 tenplus1 ouch, did your server have an autostart script ?
08:33 IcyDiamond no
08:34 tenplus1 double ouch
08:34 IcyDiamond fsr my services didn't start
08:34 IcyDiamond so i couldn't even access my server
08:34 IcyDiamond cuz i run the dns on it
08:34 IcyDiamond had to look up the ip
08:34 IcyDiamond XD
08:37 tenplus1 in need of a little fiddling for services to startup next time :PP
10:31 tenplus1 hi raven

10:38 CWz Ello
10:38 tenplus1 updated PigIron mod, bronze and steel tools have switched strengths since steel is much stronger irl :P
10:51 twoelk joined #minetest-hub
10:52 tenplus1 hi twoelk
10:52 twoelk o/
10:53 tenplus1 o/===   <-- holding pizza box
10:54 twoelk am just trying to figure out a batch to reset the source origin of folders full of github clones that have since fled github  :-P
10:55 tenplus1 ahh
10:56 tenplus1 a task in itself
10:56 twoelk for mod collections now on different git services this is not much fun
10:56 tenplus1 all of mine are on notabug.org, so you would only have to replace github.com to notabug.org in the git clone section
11:00 twoelk yeah, luckily I indeeed do have a tenplus1 folder from which I will then copy individuall mods to other locations
11:02 twoelk I guess for individuall mod collections I'll just have to invest more time - the time you spend do keep kids/players happy
11:02 tenplus1 still think it'd be handy for all git sites to be able to fork/link to one another
11:03 twoelk don't know how that would work though, might need a central name/nick database to avoid duplicates
11:04 tenplus1 true
11:05 tenplus1 coffee time :P
11:08 * twoelk tries to drink more water than coffee on hot days
11:08 tenplus1 drinking a warm.hot drink cools you down more ;D
11:16 twoelk except the amount one drinks on hot days might be a tad too much coffein :-D
11:17 twoelk I guess I do drink too much coffee in relation to any other liquid anyways
11:17 tenplus1 cause coffee rocks :DD
11:18 twoelk hmm, chewing roasted coffee beans - I love to do that
11:18 tenplus1 ooh, choccy covered coffee beans are nice
11:22 tenplus1 hrm, might add those to farming redo actually :D
11:27 entuland ===   ===
11:27 entuland \o/
11:27 entuland two pizzas
11:27 tenplus1 hi entuland
11:27 tenplus1 ooh, expert level :D
11:27 entuland :)
11:29 twoelk what effect would choco coffee beans have? bouncing around instead of walking?
11:29 tenplus1 lol, slight speed boost and lower fov due to concentration on the spot
11:33 tenplus1 could add pova support and add .01 speed for a minute :D
11:37 Krock joined #minetest-hub
11:37 tenplus1 hi Krock
11:37 Krock hi tenplus1
11:37 tenplus1 o/
11:37 tenplus1 got the bronze <-> steel tools to switch capabilities ok :P
11:38 Krock already seen the forum post
11:38 tenplus1 ehehe
11:39 tenplus1 good to know almost anything can be overriden on startup
11:40 aerozoic joined #minetest-hub
11:40 tenplus1 hi aerozoic
11:42 tenplus1 what sorta things will be backported from 0.5 to 0.4.16-3 ?
11:42 aerozoic hi tenplus1
11:58 Krock huh? this seems incorrect https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?p=326743#p326743
11:59 Krock they're not "next to each other". it's a different mentality
11:59 IhrFussel joined #minetest-hub
11:59 tenplus1 hi fussel
12:00 tenplus1 and yeah Krock, something seem soff
12:00 tenplus1 *seems off
12:00 Krock however, that image is from wikipedia
12:00 tenplus1 lol, wiki isn't always right
12:01 IhrFussel Hi there^^ Don't you go a bit too far on xanadu regarding banning of players for silly/no reasons? From what I read in the forum post the player shares their IP with a sibling and got banned for "multi account use" with no way of proving they are separate people
12:02 tenplus1 fussel, what you read on the forum isnt always what happens, admin ban/limit people for a reason
12:03 IhrFussel For a silly reason often...this is not the first time I saw someone complaining about your rules
12:03 IhrFussel Maybe you should consider to be more fair towardas players
12:03 IhrFussel towards*
12:04 IhrFussel Or the admin rather
12:05 IhrFussel He already joined my server once and said "who are you to tell me how to run my server" pretty immature statement
12:05 tenplus1 Shinji'a word is final, he owns server
12:05 IhrFussel No IRC, no forum account, no way of contacting him outside the game it seems...bad practice IMO
12:06 tenplus1 he doesn't want anyone contacting him
12:06 IhrFussel Then he is bad admin
12:06 tenplus1 forum is there which I check daily if anything crops up
12:07 tenplus1 and you will find that players tend to complain even after there was justified reason to kick/ban them
12:07 IhrFussel That's normal but sometimes his reasoning is beyond ridiculous
12:07 tenplus1 you can look back in the forum and find people pleading innocence until many ppl believe them, then the actual screenshots of what they said/did crop up and they disappear...
12:07 IhrFussel Quite a few people already told me how he hadnles certain cases
12:08 IhrFussel handles*
12:09 IhrFussel My players mostly say good things about you, but not about the server owner
12:10 tenplus1 he plays on server but doesnt suffer fools...
12:12 IhrFussel He acts like a child at times
12:12 IhrFussel From what stories I hear
12:12 tenplus1 he's really an ok guy, just doesnt like players complaining/arguing
12:13 IhrFussel Of course he is *allowed* to act however he wants but then he must live with the backlash
12:14 IhrFussel And you don't find it weird that the server owners avoids any kind of communication outside the game? No way to send a complaint about something?
12:14 IhrFussel owner*
12:15 tenplus1 he has a busy life fussel and can't always be into the game itself, that's why I'm here
12:16 IhrFussel My question is why is he the owner of a server but only appears on his server and neither on IRC/forums/xanadu website (if exists)
12:17 IhrFussel To me it looks like "if i ban someone then i don't wanna deal with complaints no matter tzhe ban reason"
12:17 IhrFussel "everything i do is right and the world has to accept what i say because it is just right"
12:18 tenplus1 the fact he runs a server and keeps it up and running connected to a ups is more than enough, and I'm here to deal with everything else
12:19 IhrFussel NO, it takes more than keeping a server running to be a good server owner...he is a joke in my eyes no matter how long he paid for the server, he doesn't take responsibility for it
12:20 ThomasMonroe who are we talking about?
12:20 tenplus1 hi thomas
12:20 ThomasMonroe o/
12:21 IhrFussel ThomasMonroe, Mr server owner of xanadu
12:24 IhrFussel To be clear: I don't expect from a "good server owner" to be online daily and talk to every player about everything ... but accepting critique/suggestions/complaints is required if you want to offer a public server...don't just put up a MT instance and do wahtever you want, that is NOT how you run a good server
12:25 IcyDiamond i cant start minetest server
12:25 IcyDiamond ./bin/minetestserver: /lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.8' not found (required by ./bin/minetestserver)
12:25 IhrFussel I avoid ANY server that has something along the lines of "what staff says is final, don't try to fight it"
12:25 IcyDiamond although it built just fine
12:25 tenplus1 IcyDiamond: did you try:   minetest --server
12:26 IcyDiamond i dont have minetest binary cuz i built just server
12:26 tenplus1 ohh, 0.5 or 0.4.17?
12:26 IcyDiamond 5.0
12:27 tenplus1 the scarey build
12:27 Krock are you sure that you didn't do a distro upgrade in between?
12:27 IcyDiamond i just built it..
12:28 Krock https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23494103/version-cxxabi-1-3-8-not-found-required-by/23494975#23494975
12:32 Krock maybe the cmake params are outdated
12:43 CWz Ello
12:43 tenplus1 o/
12:47 xerox123 o/ o/
12:51 tenplus1 hi xerox
12:52 Krock hi CWz. xerox123
12:55 sfan5 IcyDiamond: your minetest binary expects a different version of libstdc++ that you have installed
12:55 sfan5 which pretty much only happens if you downgrade packages after building or transfer a built binary from a different machine
12:56 BillyS \o/
12:56 tenplus1 hi sfan, hey billy
13:00 BillyS hi tenplus1
13:00 BillyS My mod is a success!
13:00 BillyS https://github.com/Billy-S/knockout
13:02 tenplus1 omg! lol, that is so funny :) knocking out players and carrying them around like a handbag :D
13:02 BillyS yep. xD
13:02 Calinou be sure to add a license :)
13:02 Calinou https://choosealicense.com/
13:02 BillyS It took a lot of messing with entities to get it to work
13:02 BillyS Imma go with the Apache 2.0
13:03 Calinou most mods use the MIT license now
13:03 Calinou (it is compatible with Minetest's license, unlike Apache 2)
13:03 BillyS ah
13:05 BillyS hmmm
13:06 BillyS maybe GNU General Public License v2?
13:06 Calinou if you want to pick the same license as Minetest, use the LGPLv2.1 or later
13:06 Calinou https://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-2.1.html
13:06 BillyS Nah, I'm just trying to find a licsense I like
13:07 tenplus1 how about: WTFPL
13:07 Calinou (make sure to add an "or later" clause in the license notice, which you should add at the top of all your source files)
13:07 BillyS lol
13:07 BillyS Heck, Ill just got with MIT
13:08 tenplus1 :P
13:09 BillyS I don't want people stealing my code and making it propritary
13:09 BillyS That's my main reason I don't like WTFPL
13:09 tenplus1 I tend to use MIT for things like that
13:10 BillyS Hmmm
13:10 BillyS My knockout mod should have some was to jail players
13:10 BillyS It's ment for PK, after all
13:10 BillyS But I'd have to make it so that the player can escape somehow
13:13 rubenwardy There are potential issues with GPL for mods
13:13 tenplus1 there are ?
13:13 rubenwardy Another mod can't depend on it without being GPL itself
13:13 rubenwardy Potentially
13:14 rubenwardy Not sure if that counts as linking
13:15 rubenwardy Yeah, quick Google looks like people agree
13:15 rubenwardy There's also the issue of a GPL mod polluting the minetest namespace
13:15 BillyS ah bleh
13:16 BillyS Everyone should agree on one license to use
13:17 * tenplus1 always uses MIT license now
13:17 rubenwardy LGPLv2.1+
13:17 rubenwardy Well
13:17 rubenwardy Or MIT

13:49 rud0lf nice
13:49 rud0lf "Strange creature found near coal mines!"
13:49 rud0lf "Citizens are thrilled to let kids play alone!"
13:49 tenplus1 for a survival world it's great how players work together to make things like this, and public farms etc
13:49 Krock "life found on mars. it's sam"

14:01 Krock ree
14:02 Krock no idea why it happened but my system froze completely
14:02 tenplus1 winblows or linux ???
14:04 IhrFussel entities still get removed when the attached player logs off ... for cars with 2 seats even if just the passenger loses connection the car is gone
14:04 tenplus1 ouch
14:06 entuland 60MPH on rough gravel... tough landing
14:06 IhrFussel Happened in 0.4 backport from Dec already and now in 0.4.17.1 ... can someone check on other servers? Just join, enter a cart (or other attachable entity) and reconnect, then see if the entity is gone
14:07 Krock tenplus1: linux. it experienced a crash when I fired the computer up from sleep mode
14:08 Krock all apps were closed anyway.. a bit suspicious
14:08 tenplus1 ahh, something not enabling properly from sleep
14:10 Krock xorg had a crash, then ubuntu said something about "oopsie whoopsie a crash happened". however, I could compile most of Minetest until it froze
14:11 tenplus1 I uninstall whoopsie and the crash handler... is more annoying than anything
14:18 IhrFussel What the heck happens on my server right now...player count went from 15 to 45 in matter of minutes
14:19 tenplus1 rush hour
14:20 Krock classes finished
14:20 tenplus1 Shara: are abritorches suppose to be hot / able to start fires ???
14:20 xerox123 oh shit, IhrFussel. are they all guests?
14:20 Krock The Great Rush Of Kids
14:20 tenplus1 Guest007 :P dun du dun dun dun dun dun
14:20 xerox123 just noticed the rush of guests that tried to join
14:21 xerox123 on my server ^
14:22 DI3HARD139 Good sir. Is the wonderful tool of yours public?
14:22 DI3HARD139 this*
14:22 Krock indeed a flood of guests
14:23 xerox123 DI3HARD139: yeah, mod called no_guests, but I added another regex pattern I saw in the forum thread and a Krock tweak to exempt myself from the pattern
14:23 tenplus1 good idea
14:23 DI3HARD139 No I mean the web control panel
14:24 xerox123 o
14:28 ANAND Is it possible to rotate a wield-item to make it point forward?
14:29 Krock rotate the inventory image
14:30 IhrFussel Map loads slow again, no stalling (yet)
14:30 ANAND Krock, do you mean the wield_image? I specified different inventory and wield images :)
14:30 Krock increase your simultaneous block sends
14:31 Krock ah, wield image then
14:31 ANAND ok thanks!
14:33 IhrFussel Is 10 not enough?

14:41 ANAND The position field of an HUD element can take values from 0 to 1. So to centre an element on the screen, should I go with {x = 0.5, y = 0.5}?
14:42 tenplus1 yeh
14:42 ANAND Alright, I'll try it out
14:43 ANAND It works :D
14:43 tenplus1 yay
14:44 ANAND Is it possible to hide all the hud elements by removing them one-by-one using :hud_remove() with their IDs?
14:45 tenplus1 I think HUD has an actual visible flag
14:45 ANAND I'm planning on displaying one HUD element and hiding the rest while it's visible
14:47 ANAND So I could manually get the defs of all the other hud elements using :hud_get()
14:47 ANAND Store them, and then :hud_remove() them
14:48 ANAND But where do I get the IDs of all of a player's hud elements? :S
14:49 ANAND Whoa, the Travis-CI build was running for 26 minutes! Is it just me or is Travis taking way too long nowadays?
14:50 tenplus1 so much has been added prolly
14:51 tenplus1 ANAND: https://rubenwardy.com/minetest_modding_book/en/players/hud.html

14:55 rubenwardy Why do you need to?
14:55 ANAND I'm planning on displaying one HUD element and hiding the others while it's visible
14:56 tenplus1 check out wuzzy's hudbars for information on usage and how to hide

15:05 rubenwardy !book hud

15:05 rubenwardy There we are
15:05 tumeninodes I was just looking over all the license threads popping up
15:06 tenplus1 scarey huh
15:06 tumeninodes unfortunately many do not seem to understand licensing in the first place
15:06 ANAND Aha, I guess just hiding the default hud bars and hot-bar is enough for me... ;)
15:07 ANAND rubenwardy: I see an extra '/' in the URL :)
15:07 tumeninodes then come the radical this ways, and the radical that ways
15:08 rubenwardy Yeah, can't fix this cleanly now
15:09 rubenwardy !title https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=47&amp;t=20578
15:09 MinetestBot rubenwardy: The use of GPL mods - Minetest Forums
15:11 tumeninodes existential GPL
15:12 tumeninodes so from now on, when node defs are modified, have a popup screen which rolls credits :D
15:13 tumeninodes but do it like star wars opening with scrolling text and bg music
15:15 tenplus1 lol
15:16 Fixer joined #minetest-hub
15:17 tenplus1 hi fixer
15:17 Fixer hi
15:26 Calinou rubenwardy: I would argue that it's akin to dynamic linking since the user is able to replace the other part
15:26 Calinou the LGPL *does* allow static linking to proprietary software, but the user needs to be able to replace the library.
15:26 rubenwardy Does GPL actually have a dynamic linking exception?
15:26 rubenwardy This isn't about LGPL
15:26 rubenwardy That's obviously fine
15:26 Calinou there are two ways to achieve this: 1) distribute the object code (.o) files, 2) release the source (even under a restrictive license)
15:31 tumeninodes just add a sub license
15:32 Fixer Jeeez
15:32 Fixer debian has apt now?
15:33 tumeninodes A sub license can be granted to a third party to extend usage exceptions, even under an NC license
15:33 Fixer it was apt-get, then aptitude, then it was kinda WTF, and then it is apt?

15:34 tenplus1 hi benrob0329
15:34 tenplus1 ehehe, we had a tardis competition on xanadu earlier :D
15:35 tumeninodes pimp my tardis?
15:35 tenplus1 yup
15:35 tumeninodes haha
15:35 benrob0329 Oh cool, wish I could've been there :D
15:35 tenplus1 got some blue carpet and a homedecor cube light and made an awesome one with a toilet inside D
15:36 benrob0329 I think I might have been able to impress, I have some experience :P
15:36 tumeninodes should've used the lava lamp
15:36 tenplus1 hah yeah
15:36 tenplus1 wait, we dont have that... ahaha, homedecor mod we run is LITE
15:36 tumeninodes a little poo-zen

15:53 * Sokomine melts away due to the heat and searches for an ice biome
15:55 tumeninodes hi Sokomine. Freezers make nice ice biomes
15:56 * Sokomine climbs into one and closes the door behind her
15:56 tumeninodes So, my comments about sub license has nothing to do with what rubenwardy and Calinou were talking about btw :D
15:58 tumeninodes I think, IMO, NC-type licenses could be allowed, as long as they offer a sub license, which is specific
15:59 tumeninodes meaning to grant permissions to use the works for the purposes of related youtube reviews on a monetized channel
16:00 tumeninodes basically the license holder is paying a small advertising fee to the reviewer (usually, extremely small fee under youtubes' payout scale)
16:02 tumeninodes MT/MTG related 'commercial use' mostly falls under works shown on youtube anyway. And the basis of NC still stands in any usage, outside of that factor
16:03 tumeninodes ND though, does not fit into the entire MT/MTG environment, so I strongly agree with that being disallowed
16:04 Sokomine trouble is that the distinction between "commercial" and "non-commercial" as applied by courts does not reflect what one might commonly expect
16:05 tumeninodes There is nothing wrong with an individual wishing to protect from others using their work for a substantial, capital gain
16:05 tumeninodes but a court does have to follow the wording of a license
16:06 Sokomine yes. but substantial, capital gain..that's not what courts seem to think of
16:06 tumeninodes but the wording has to be put in use in a proper manner
16:09 tumeninodes The license holder only need state a use exception. But to be quite specific
16:09 tumeninodes other than that exception, the NC clause holds firm
16:11 Calinou tumeninodes: that's not what sublicensing is about
16:11 Calinou sublicensing is allowed by permissive licenses, but is not allowed by copyleft licenses
16:11 Calinou by the way, the NC clause has many exceptions that most people don't seem to be aware of :)
16:12 Calinou for instance, it's allowed to sell a NC-licensed work to cover the costs of distribution/shipping/handling
16:12 Calinou (as long as the cost only does that, and is not intended to create a profit)
16:12 Calinou recent versions (4.0 especially) have more exceptions than older ones
16:12 tumeninodes sub license - a license or contract granted to a third party by a licensee for specified rights or uses of a product, brand name, logo, etc.
16:14 tumeninodes that is my understanding of the definition of sun license
16:14 tumeninodes it gives the license holder, power to grant special rights, for specific usage
16:15 Sokomine as long as it's your own work you can grant diffrent licenses to diffrent people the way you want
16:16 tumeninodes but, this is why I feel NC licenses should actually be allowed.
16:16 tumeninodes ND has no place in the community though,
16:18 tumeninodes Calinou, I know you definitely have a better grasp on licensing, than myself. It would be nice if you would take a moment and make a post related to the topic. As it seems licensing concerns are popping up all over lately
16:20 tumeninodes Sokomine, I don;t believe you can grant a diff license to various people, only exceptions within the chosen license
16:22 ANAND joined #minetest-hub
16:22 tumeninodes but wait..., ALL CC licenses are 'copyleft'
16:22 sfan5 rubenwardy: the server list uses 2 worker threads
16:23 sfan5 the code starts a separate thread to handle announces though, so request don't (shouldn't) block
16:23 sfan5 requests*
16:24 tumeninodes sorry, only the SA are copyleft, my bad
16:26 rubenwardy Pretty sure you can sublicense a GPL work, if you own all the rights
16:26 Krock joined #minetest-hub
16:26 rubenwardy Like, license to someone under something other than GPL
16:26 tumeninodes SO, a BY-NC-SA, is not allowed to have exceptions? Even if they are related only to the NC clause?
16:27 tumeninodes rubenwardy, that sounds like it could cause some confusion/complications down the road.
16:27 rubenwardy Probably
16:28 tumeninodes So if you have a work under GPL, yet you release it to someone else, under a different license
16:28 rubenwardy I'm pretty sure there are some projects that do this - use a copyleft license but then offer a permissive license to be purchased
16:28 tumeninodes now there are two of the same work under two licenses...
16:29 rubenwardy That's what sublicensing is though?
16:29 tumeninodes well yeh, but that is normally used as a gimmick
16:29 Sokomine we could need something that covers what you want. it's not too dissimilar from what i'd like. just something like that (yes, people using it on servers is no problem, even when asking for donations, youtubers are no problem in general, normal webpages are not...but if a more significant amount of money is gained with it it isn't ok anymore)
16:29 tumeninodes though I am not sure offering a free trial which is a portion of a licensed work is the same thing
16:31 tumeninodes Sokomine, those are 'exceptions'
16:31 tumeninodes But I think Calinou is saying they are not allowed when SA clause is involved as well?
16:32 tumeninodes which honestly does not make sense to me but...
16:33 tumeninodes my cousin is a lawyer for a huge company, I'll have to ask him to look into this next time I see him
16:36 Sokomine when NC is involved, people may still ask you for a more permissive license. wasn't there something about people abusing that some time ago?
16:37 tumeninodes SA itself is non-negotiable, I think. But NC is allowed exceptions, as stated. If exceptions are allowed for NC, then that means they are still allowed, even when combined with the SA clause
16:38 tumeninodes More permissive 'exceptions' would be more appropriate
16:38 tumeninodes not entirely relicensing
16:40 tumeninodes and... while on the topic... ALL work under CC-BY-SA 3.0 should be updated to 4.0. WHich is allowed as it is only upgrading to the latest version, I do not believe permission is required by original authors
16:40 twoelk I guess choosing the right license will have to become the first course in any creativity teaching in the future
16:40 tumeninodes the license, itself is not being changed, just the updated
16:40 tumeninodes twoelk... it really should be part of the curriculum
16:41 twoelk want to become an artist? go to law school first
16:41 tumeninodes ha
16:42 paramat joined #minetest-hub
16:43 twoelk inb4 all schools start with a year of law first
16:44 tumeninodes paramat, what do you think? Wanna go through and update all the CC-BY-SA 3.0 to 4.0? :D
16:45 paramat no :D
16:45 tumeninodes party pooper
16:45 twoelk it really is somewhat difficult telling kids that they may not create any derivates of their favorite heroes or storys or random toys once they start to get creative
16:46 tumeninodes it's easy..., well if you enjoy watching kids cry... which I do, so...
16:46 tumeninodes "D
16:47 twoelk minetest mods are actually full of fan art - big grey zone out there
16:47 tumeninodes very true
16:48 tumeninodes well I gotta go get ready for an appointment \o
16:48 tumeninodes left #minetest-hub
16:51 twoelk my nephews once added some yellow minion related nodes to our private mt-game aka Apfelschorle. When I challanged them to add something original they had to think up themselves they went somewhat ... blank. their point wasn't coding something cool but simply adding minions. coding was just the way to get it done
17:06 paramat > "I avoid ANY server that has something along the lines of "what staff says is final, don't try to fight it"" i would avoid any server without that. that rule is essential to avoid endless KGM-type tantrums, just look at the forum threads. only server owners can have the final decision, no-one else can
17:07 Calinou any license can be negotiated with its copyright holder(s) :)
17:08 sfan5 paramat: why isn't he avoiding the forums then?
17:11 paramat well, actually i mean 'reduce' not 'avoid'
17:11 AndroBuilder joined #minetest-hub
17:15 paramat and i mean 'on server', the forum is just an example of how bad the arguing is :)
17:16 rubenwardy He doesn't do much of that on my server
17:16 IhrFussel Every server owner should give players the option to "file a complaint" when they think they have been punished for a wrong/no reason
17:16 rubenwardy Just joins to spam his broken cheat
17:17 IhrFussel The implementation of that can vary from server to server...PM in forum, message in IRC, email etc
17:18 paramat file a complaint to who though? the admins who just decided? EU court of human rights? :)
17:18 rubenwardy A moderator could have made the decision
17:21 paramat yeah. but players usually already have a way to dispute a decision
17:22 paramat as said, tenplus is there for that
17:28 twoelk still IhrFussel at some point there is a final decision and no quarantee that the player in distress accepts it - some will just go on fighting
17:28 paramat so then the moderator and admin will discuss and the admin will reassess and make a final decision, and we're back to the same rule again :)
17:28 paramat yep
17:30 paramat the impression i get is that Ihr is actually a worse server admin than most for being too soft, but also preaches a lot about others being worse :)
17:30 IhrFussel You should provide the player simply a way to let you know "hey i think i was punished in error" then you should re-read what happened (in case it wasn't you (owner)) and decide whether or not the ban was fine
17:30 Shara Every so often someone joins #minetest moaning that x server banned them but boohoo they are innocent and the admin/moderator/goldfish who happened to have the ban priv is evil and mean
17:31 Shara It's happened with RC bans before... and the player is asking for the IRC channel which is invite only... so they can try and join and spam us out
17:32 IhrFussel That's not what I mean Shara ... I'm not talking about those crybabies that just can't accept that they broke rules and got punished for it...I'm talking about cases where it may not be as black and white and the staff/violating player need to meet somewhere in the middle
17:32 Shara And I am pretty sure there are people who have believed those players and they now think that I / my moderators / my non-existent pet goldfish are evil and mean
17:32 Shara Fussel, it is exactly what you mean even if you can't say it.
17:32 Shara see*
17:33 Shara You are choosing to think the player is truthful and the admin is not.
17:36 IhrFussel No, I respect every player and I thought that's the general opinion with server owners...and if I respect every player then every player got the equal rights on my server and staff is *not* above players so if staff did something wrong then I of course reconsider what the staff did and might undo the punishment
17:37 * twoelk has a second identity on quite a few servers just to get himself out of protected holes he fell into in the dark
17:39 twoelk and I do often share an IP with others -  most don't have an individuell router for everyone in every house or place they go online at
17:40 Shara Fussel: ultimate issue is no one can police the admin (unless they do something that is actually illegal... and then the police can :P)
17:41 Shara You can decide what you think player rights on all servers should be, but actually it's the server owner who decide what a player's rights are (again, so long as it's not literally illegal somehow)
17:41 Shara decides*
17:43 IhrFussel twoelk, and would you be fine with being banned cause "you have more than 1 account" without any way to give some sort of feedback or get the chance to prove that you're separate persons?
17:44 IhrFussel my issue with the xanadu server owner is mainly that he doesn't give banned players a way to talk to him about what happened...cause he has no forum account, no (known) IRC account, no website...nothing
17:44 IhrFussel He is basically isolated from the world in his xanadu bubble
17:47 twoelk he has a tenplus1 :-D
17:48 Shara Does that make it okay to constantly insult how someone else's server is managed?
17:50 sofar can we keep the server/admin drama on each respective server, perhaps?
17:51 paramat Ihr tenplus deals with that and can talk to the owner, and probably does, why imply otherwise?
17:53 IhrFussel So you don't see what's wrong with no direct way of communication between players and server owners...then it#s no use to discuss any further with you...seems like our views are galaxies apart
17:54 Shara Got to agree with sofar really... (hi sofar!)
17:57 paramat Ihr i just said, there is tenplus who probably talks with the owner about situations. you're implying a lot
17:59 paramat erm, talking generally, i think it's fine for a server owner to not want to communicate with anyone except other admin. personally i couldn't cope with ranting kids :)
18:09 twoelk after all - minimal admin interaction servers have been a quite popular experiment and some managed quite well - for some time at least
18:10 sfan5 i count at least 3 anarchy servers
18:11 twoelk well, anarchy isn't the only form and by far not the best
18:11 IhrFussel 1 more message regardung this topic: Shinji_Ikari in case you read the IRC logs I invite you to my server and then we can discuss how you handle/manage your server and how I handle/manage mine
18:11 IhrFussel regarding*
18:11 paramat i was actually contacted privately by a player on Ihr's server who told me that Ihr is too soft on troublemakers and this was affecting other player's enjoyment ;)
18:11 twoelk oops
18:13 twoelk I di think though IhrFussel  can manage his server just as he pleases and in turn has to accept that others may also do exactly that
18:13 IhrFussel You cannot please everybody, but I rather act nice and reasonable than being an asshole towards my players and punishing them (too heavy) for something they might not even have done in the first place
18:14 twoelk be carefull with all the being nice to players that you don't act like an ... to fellow server admins :-D
18:15 IhrFussel My server got a /feedback and a /report ... I really offer MANY ways to communicate with me... offline messages exist too and mailboxes for books...players can tell me their opinion as much as they like
18:15 twoelk giving interesting advice on difficult issues is nice but don't become a fanatic missionary
18:16 IhrFussel Players may critize my actions or suggest changes...that is no crime on my server and encouraged
18:16 Sokomine paramat: ihrfussel is a fine server admin and does well :-) so does shara. and vanessea of course has proven to be a very good server admin for a long time
18:17 * twoelk desperately needs some time to do some extensive server touring again
18:17 shivajiva having a reputation as a pushover is as bad as having a reputation for being over zealous, both attract different kinds of trolls and different levels of damage. Is this some kind of competition?
18:17 garywhite joined #minetest-hub
18:17 Sokomine Shara: ah, well, i'm afraid the earth would be heavily overpopulated if all those claimed siblings that are blamed with having done griefing (back in mc days) would actually exist :-)
18:18 Shara Sokomine: yup :)
18:18 IhrFussel I never said that I'm on some kind of "mission" to convince server owners to change/be like me... All I did was kinda ranting about a certain server owner who is unreachable for the average player and instead sends tenplus1 to deal with the complaints
18:19 shivajiva you should join Xanadu and have a conversation with shinji rather than disrespect someone not present to defend themselves imo
18:20 * twoelk largest group visit to a mt server, some 3 years ago was 7 players, all sitting at the same table, was fun, though hard on the connection
18:20 shivajiva that's what I did
18:20 Sokomine IhrFussel: no :-) your views are close together. at least as far as what you consider "right". you just want a formal law
18:20 IhrFussel Do you actually really think that he would DISCUSS with another server owner who critizises him for his actions?
18:21 IhrFussel He resides in his bubble for a reason and I thought that was obvious
18:21 twoelk you would have to change some of your tone
18:22 shivajiva that's my point, don't criticize before you have the facts, you lost the ability to have a discourse because you didn't go ask Shinji before making a fuss
18:23 Sokomine twoelk: server touring is a lot of fun. there are diffrent mods to explore and diffrent textures to build with. that's why i'm so often not on those servers where i like the way of administration most. just...curiosity
18:23 IhrFussel I offered him indirectly earlier to come to my server where nobody gets kicked/banned for critique ... there's nothing else I can do..either he accepts my invitation or he ignores it
18:23 shivajiva how magnanimous of you
18:23 benrob0329 To be honest, I dont find long-term builds and survival runs fun
18:24 benrob0329 But something like, that Tardis building contest Xanadu had would have been fun
18:24 paramat after all the preaching i doubt anyone would want to discuss server management with you ;)
18:24 Sokomine IhrFussel: it's not bad for xanandu if tenplus1 does the communication with the rest of the world. i don't know if and to what degree he does. i think shinji could profit from talking to other server admins from time to time (as we all can) but maybe he doesn't have the time
18:27 twoelk IhrFussel: could you really accept if he just sticks to his ways? I fear you would keep on argueing until you get annoying
18:27 Sokomine i've even myself accidently rollbacked a player on one of vanessaes servers. his actions looked like griefing...but he was just a child :-(. we're all prone to errors
18:28 * twoelk remembers that one
18:29 IhrFussel paramat, you don't even play on my server you have absolutely NO CLUE what work I've done on my server whatsoever... you also have no clue about the "level of respect" my players pay me ... I can manage my server just fine and if yu don't believe it I'm sorry, but I want to show the strict server owners that it's NOT required for a server owner to be an asshole
18:30 IhrFussel You can earn respect in other ways than being GOD
18:30 sofar stop it
18:30 * benrob0329 feels that this may be going on a bit long now
18:31 sofar that's enough already
18:31 sofar next topic, please
18:33 * twoelk is now going to test looping through folders with git remote set-url origin https://notabug.org/tenplus1/%.git
18:34 twoelk lol, that wasn't suposed to become a link in irc
18:34 * Sokomine secretly feels happy about there beeing so many server owners who do the work and take it seriously and secretly tries to convince sofar that less jumping might be better :)
18:34 twoelk no, serverhopping is cool ;-P
18:35 * twoelk should really try another box
18:35 Sokomine my update-git script gets stuck now in some repros as those have been moved. sometimes it's a simple replacement, but sometimes more hidden
18:36 benrob0329 Inb4 clustergit
18:36 paramat !next
18:36 MinetestBot Another satisfied customer. Next!
18:38 twoelk that was unfair paramat :-D updating git clones has become quite an issue
18:41 benrob0329 https://github.com/mnagel/clustergit
18:44 twoelk hm, not really a solution
18:48 * twoelk moves his batchfile out of the testing zone

18:53 tenplus1 hi peeps
18:53 tenplus1 :P
18:53 Shara Hi tenplus1
18:54 tenplus1 hey shara :)
18:54 tenplus1 quick question, are abritorches meant to burn ? as in cause fires ?
18:54 Shara Hmm, not really.
18:54 tenplus1 was wondering, cause they are mostly crystal based
18:54 twoelk yay I just updated all my tenplus1 mods in one go
18:54 tenplus1 hi twoelk
18:55 twoelk o/
18:55 Shara At least for the "correct" version (when using them with CRL...) they are meant to be kind of magical in nature
18:55 tenplus1 a player was using them and they melted ice/snow... had no idea they were meant to do that :D
18:56 twoelk now I just need to sort my hundreds of cloned mods according to the git-hosts they fled to
18:56 * tenplus1 calls in Esther Ranson to track down lost git-hosts
18:57 Shara Maybe something in groups?
18:57 tenplus1 could be the torch=1 group
18:58 tenplus1 makes abms think it's a normal torch :)
18:58 Shara Yea, probably you have something deciding that means things melt
19:03 BillyS I have a very wierd issue
19:03 BillyS My mod registers a globalstep, which displays a formspec to a player every second
19:04 BillyS But it doesn't display it if the player's hp is <= 0
19:04 BillyS However, when the player dies, they don't get the "You died" message
19:04 BillyS They just sortta get turned into a ghost
19:04 tenplus1 weird
19:05 BillyS If I remove the line that shows the formspec, it all works just fine ...
19:05 twoelk if anybody wants to do some batch comand to git folders this might be usefull -> https://pastebin.com/FZnFnvwK

19:09 tenplus1 Shara: updated ethereal, was using group:torch and told it not to :D
19:10 tenplus1 also toolrank support for crystal sword now :D
19:11 Shara Ohhhh
19:11 Shara I still want toolranks to add more than durability :D
19:12 tenplus1 oh it will, in 0.5.0 since we can dynamically change tool capabilities :)
19:12 tenplus1 we already have a tinkers mod like in mc to try it out :0
19:14 Shara Nice
19:15 Shara I really want something where you have a crafting skill level, and depending on that you can get modifiers on things you craft with different effects
19:18 tenplus1 I'd be happy with an enchanting table being able to finally change a tool specs live :)
