03:25 MTDiscord      <Jordach> wtf
03:25 MTDiscord      <Jordach> minetest can't create worlds from the terminal anymore?
04:18 MTDiscord      <Jordach> nevermind
10:36 BuckarooBanzai VanessaE: about your dreambuilder_game: why didn't you use git-submodules and some kind of auto-update bot (renovate in gitlabs case) for the various mods? this should be supported by the cdb ;)
10:44 VanessaE       because submodules suck.
10:44 VanessaE       been there, done that, won't touch them again
12:07 BuckarooBanzai too bad, i've been using them for games and server-mod-collections (https://github.com/pandorabox-io/pandorabox-mods/ for example), they need some getting used to but are an effective tool for the purpose IMO. Plus: the history is clean and if you have some kind of cicd pipeline you see if all the mods are actually working together.
12:28 rubenwardy     Submodules are easy to mess up, but for modpacks they're pretty perfect
12:28 rubenwardy     Modpacks and games which are basically modpacks
12:28 VanessaE       nope, never again
12:29 VanessaE       submodules need to be dragged through a fire ant nest, shot, stabbed, keel-hauled, dipped in acid, burnt at the stake, and then really REALLY hurt.
12:29 VanessaE       :P
12:29 MTDiscord      <y5nw> Afaik there are also git-subtrees
12:30 VanessaE       take off and nuke that feature from orbit.
12:30 MTDiscord      <y5nw> sees the Earth gone with git-submodules
12:34 rubenwardy     Submodules work well if you remember to use the commands rather than clone, and never plan on switching branches
12:34 VanessaE       translation:  if https://xkcd.com/1597/ doesn't apply :)
12:34 rubenwardy     It's much easier to git pull than to have to clone again and delete .git
12:35 MTDiscord      <y5nw> I would consider using subtrees if I don't have to use submodules
15:23 MTDiscord      <Jordach> One takes a few minutes on a somewhat fast network connection
15:23 MTDiscord      <Jordach> The other takes tens of hours of trying and stackoverflow tabs
15:25 MTDiscord      <Jordach> One of them hurts less on the invested time index that I value from minimum wage
20:27 LoneWolfHT     submodules aren't too bad, still feel clunky though
20:27 MTDiscord      <y5nw> Git-subtree FTW
20:28 VanessaE       no, they are bad, and you should be ashamed for using them :)
20:28 MTDiscord      <y5nw> From what I know subtrees are easier to manage than submodules
