14:18 VanessaE so is this chan officially dead?  time to kick-ban everyone? :)
14:48 shivajiva lol
14:51 shivajiva the channel was a collab between celeron55 and Shara, I expect that they both have a say in it's continuation/demise
14:56 shivajiva not that anything much happens here, it's hardly a hub of activity =)
14:57 MTDiscord <W​arr1024> It was supposed to be "#minetest but with less noise" or something, right?  I suppose if #minetest ever gets enough noise again then it could be useful...
14:58 scorps44 joined #minetest-hub
14:59 shivajiva it was meant to be a channel where the more mature members collaborated with development, without the noise of the kids fighting
14:59 scorps44 joined #minetest-hub
15:00 scorps44 joined #minetest-hub
15:00 shivajiva server owners and modders alike in a friendly channel where some social etiquette was maintained
15:02 MTDiscord <W​arr1024> Presumably then you could treat this place like a bomb shelter; hang out in #minetest under normal conditions, and only retreat in here if things start to get bad there...
15:04 shivajiva most of the people in this channel do exactly that afaik
15:06 aerozoic joined #minetest-hub
15:20 MTDiscord <J​ordach> It’s basically -dev without the suits and business wear
15:21 MTDiscord <J​ordach> This is the jeans and popped collars channel by comparison
15:25 MTDiscord <J​ordach> That said I’m glad hub exists because fuck roblox kiddies and Minecraft kiddies
15:31 shivajiva lmao
15:35 Jordach joined #minetest-hub
15:35 shivajiva I'd be happy to see more content here but if it's not serving a purpose then it's a waste of resources.
15:42 shivajiva server owners need a place to report shenanigans that's not broadcast, so there is a sense of community to the mostly thankless task, -hub no longer seems to fulfil that function
15:56 celeron55 it still goes to discord, that should be fixed
15:56 shivajiva indeedly
15:59 celeron55 well, anyway, one option for this channel is to drop discord from here
15:59 celeron55 then the function of this channel is to be the channel that isn't on discord
15:59 celeron55 might be nonsense
15:59 celeron55 i.e. one more reason to not use this for anything
16:09 shivajiva the restriction of needing voice is designed to impart community, you have to join and ask. We expect to see active community present and participating in the common passion. It's supposed to break down the barriers, the perceived divisions between the skill levels of development, running a public facing server to test the code and the modders who provide content
16:10 shivajiva that was the reason it was -hub
16:14 shivajiva as an instigator I have a pretty clear perception of what it was supposed to be
16:16 shivajiva the question is as an organisation, does this ethos have a place, and is it fulfilled elsewhere
16:18 shivajiva if not then I suggest you leave it be and cultivate it as much as possible
16:22 celeron55 let's try to keep this as the "no noob questions, that way the devs have time to read this and everyone can get stuff done" channel
16:23 shivajiva even if that's elsewhere, you need to have a community so it's a sound ethos, progress is unstoppable but the human side remains :)
16:23 celeron55 +"and no offtopic"
16:24 shivajiva shit, all my questions are noob questions on some level xD
16:25 shivajiva but yea makes sense if that's what's making this channel less not more
16:26 celeron55 "less is more"
16:26 celeron55 as can be said
16:28 shivajiva as I said if this can be fulfilled elsewhere and makes more sense, providing the management is less, giving more time, as that's what's applicable
16:28 shivajiva then it should be so
16:30 shivajiva *mutters proprietary shit under his breath*
16:34 twoelk joined #minetest-hub
16:40 MTDiscord <t​woelk> hub always seemed more server-business focussed than other channels even with some off-topic talk now and then that often inspired stuff created for servers
16:43 shivajiva quite natural considering the mix of dev, server admins and modders present
16:46 shivajiva raylib disco channel is buzz, it's got some momentum, wish mt had that sort of buzz around it
16:58 Conradish006 joined #minetest-hub
17:19 homthack joined #minetest-hub
17:46 Conradish006 joined #minetest-hub
17:50 MTDiscord <G​reenXenith> I can always role-lock access to this channel from Discord, if people would prefer
18:00 Sokomine wouldn't it make more sense to have discord on #minetest in general? using this channel here for an experiment in that regard is fine, but its purpose was mostly to bring core devs, server owners and modders together (with server owners observing what their players need and acting as an interface layer between devs and players). at least that was what i thought of it
18:01 Sokomine would be a pity to have it closed although there has definitely been less talk here lately...
18:03 MTDiscord <G​reenXenith> What do you mean by "discord on #minetest in general"?
18:05 rubenwardy discord is already in #minetest, Sokomine
18:11 Conradish006 joined #minetest-hub
18:19 shivajiva I don't care for the disconnection to the audience that the discord bot creates, I prefer to see my audience as it were, know who I'm addressing
18:20 shivajiva for that I need to be in 2 places, right
18:22 MTDiscord <J​ordach> @GreenXenith you can also user lock this channel too
18:22 Sokomine rubenwardy: oh. thanks for the info, rubenwardy. then that fits i think
18:23 MTDiscord <G​reenXenith> @Jordach wit no brim I could but role locking is easier
18:23 MTDiscord <J​ordach> per user is a better choice here imo as this should obey the +v to users that already exist
18:23 Sokomine it's not about user-locking as such. it's about discord as such on my part...
18:24 Jordach people can already come in and read it with any IRC client so [off] to the bridge is a pointless endeavour
18:24 aerozoic joined #minetest-hub
18:24 Jordach that and irc.minetest.net exists
18:24 Jordach sans [off]
18:25 Jordach they just can't talk
18:29 shivajiva you know who is present when you use [off] it served it's purpose without losing it's worth
18:30 Jordach spose so
18:33 shivajiva feels like control is lost to some degree here now, better make sure channel users know their conversation is being used as management see fit and not contained to the premise of irc if the disco bot stay in this channel, and every channel it's present in
18:34 Jordach Krock, got time to review #10360
18:34 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/10360 -- Fix/Add First Person Attachments by Jordach
18:35 Krock _._
18:35 Jordach don't have to do it today
18:35 Krock time is my least concern
18:35 Jordach i did test player:set_attach(..., true) and the player stays invisible due to the culling mode
18:40 shivajiva Q. will the player inventory be backported for the small number of 0.4 servers or are we happy to leave the flaw present
18:40 shivajiva player inventory fix*
18:41 Krock there are multiple flags btw
18:41 Krock *flaws
18:42 Krock also no, 0.4.x is not supported since 5.0.0
18:42 Krock backports yet only happened for 0.4.17, and that's a very exceptional situation
18:43 rubenwardy yet only?
18:44 rubenwardy There was 5.0.1 and 5.1.1
18:44 shivajiva if I'm not mistaken the code can be cherry picked and dropped in 0.4.17 anyway to gain the protection
18:45 homthack joined #minetest-hub
18:45 rubenwardy yeah, there may not be any conflicts
18:46 Krock do you think they would suddenly update if there were a backport release?
18:47 Krock honestly I doubt it. who knows how many of those servers are still actively maintained
18:47 shivajiva as soon as they became aware of the fact, those maintained would is my guess
18:48 rubenwardy having security vulnerabilities is a risk of running an outdated version
18:48 rubenwardy at least it's not a remote execution vulnerability
18:49 Jordach if we did have an RCE some random server owner would bitch that you're removing it
18:51 Krock you mean the worldedit leak?
18:52 MTDiscord <J​ordach> If there was a proper one that broke the Lua sandbox a server owner would probably complain
18:52 ssieb joined #minetest-hub
18:53 rubenwardy more server owners than you'd expect disable mod security, which means that worldedit was that
18:54 shivajiva it's the easy option when you don't have the patience or knowledge and want something to work
18:55 shivajiva chaining consequences isn't a high priority on the steep part of the learning curve
18:57 rubenwardy there are enough warnings when it comes to disabling it. Ultimately, it's the user's choice to accept the risk
18:57 rubenwardy it would be more of a problem if mods and other people told users to disable mod security
19:01 shivajiva yea, that's policed in the forum as far as possible :)

20:52 Krock https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&amp;t=25310  pretty cool. I wonder whether there's another mod that might have mesecons support
20:52 Krock (sarcasm)
21:39 MTDiscord <J​onathon> its based on boost cart if i read it right
21:40 sfan5 huh a better carts mod
21:41 Sokomine hm. is it me or did mapgen get faster?
21:42 shivajiva every one is 'better' than the last when it comes to vehicles
