00:00 dafull97 ShadowNinja, ^
00:00 ritchie joined #minetest
00:05 Taoki joined #minetest
00:05 dafull97 VanessaE, you can do clustering with Ethernet alone?
00:06 VanessaE yes
00:06 VanessaE it's unideal, but possible.
00:08 dafull97 what do you normally use?
00:11 VanessaE well I don't cluster, but I just have gigE between the two PCs
00:11 VanessaE I used to use distcc if that matters :
00:11 VanessaE :P
00:12 dafull97 English please? hahaha, explain
00:12 dafull97 =) please
00:12 VanessaE gigE:  gigabit ethernet.  distcc:  distributed C compiler, for using multiple PCs to compile stuff
00:13 dafull97 ok, thanks... havnt used alot of C/C++ and i thought gigE meant that, wasnt sure
00:14 VanessaE sure
00:14 dafull97 will python be good for networking and all, im wanting to be network admin or Network Engineer when i get out of high school and college
00:15 OldCoder dafull97, Yes
00:15 OldCoder dafull97, You must learn several other languages too
00:16 OldCoder dafull97, Perl PHP5 Python HTML5 CSS3 JS some Java and a few others
00:16 OldCoder Many are very similar
00:16 dafull97 yes, i am working on it
00:16 OldCoder Good
00:16 kahrl network admin in a unix environment? bash is probably what you'll be encountering most
00:16 dafull97 Oldcoder you know about clustering and you in networking
00:16 kahrl or some other shell
00:17 dafull97 OldCoder, ^^
00:23 * dafull97 is going afk for a few mins
00:23 Renoki joined #minetest
00:26 Miner_48er joined #minetest
00:30 dafull97 joined #minetest
00:30 dafull97 ok im back
00:31 dafull97 VanessaE, can you do me a favor
00:32 VanessaE hm?
00:33 dafull97 will you tell me the last board i was talking about? i got on a different computer
00:35 VanessaE https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/A20/A20-OLinuXino-MICRO/open-source-hardware
00:35 VanessaE you were leaning toward that one over the RPi.
00:35 dafull97 thanks, yes i know
00:35 dafull97 i couldnt remember the name totally
00:35 Menche you can look at the chat history at http://irc.minetest.ru/minetest/today
00:36 dafull97 ohh, yea i forgot that
00:42 dafull97 VanessaE, Clustering shares video cards? or no?
00:42 Megaf dafull97, Hi there
00:42 Exio4 i hate reallife
00:42 Exio4 why is it so busy
00:43 dafull97 Megaf, what up? got some questions for you... =)
00:43 Megaf ok
00:43 Megaf shoot
00:43 Megaf =)
00:44 dafull97 so your the one with the raspberry pi servers correct?
00:44 Megaf yep
00:44 Megaf dafull97, VanessaE https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=7603
00:45 VanessaE dafull97: it could share video computing resources e.g. GPGPU/OpenCL or whatever it's called, if the clustering software allows for it, but not general video card performance.
00:48 dafull97 so if i conneted a monitor to the master would it have better video performance, such as video memory?
00:49 Megaf dafull97, ok, lets start from the begiining
00:49 Megaf what do you want?
00:49 dafull97 im thinking about getting a board like raspberry pi, https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/A20/A20-OLinuXino-MICRO/open-source-hardware and cluster them together and use as minetest server
00:50 VanessaE dafull97: no, it would not, unless the program you are running is CPU-bound AND capable of full multi-threading.
00:50 dafull97 mpi, would that be one?
00:50 VanessaE but as a minetest server, it would be mostly pointless
00:50 Megaf dafull97, not worth it
00:50 VanessaE the server is not multi-threaded enough to work well under those conditions
00:50 troller dafull97, will ok with 0 players
00:51 dafull97 troller, stop...
00:51 troller stop what?
00:51 Megaf dafull97, use a single Raspberry, it will do really ok with 6 players
00:51 Megaf using the minimal game
00:51 Megaf dafull97, join to my server and see for yourself
00:51 troller i use odroid. ant its ok with lisuid_finite=1 ;)
00:51 dafull97 i cant right at the moment but i will later
00:52 dafull97 Megaf, why would it not be worth clustering?
00:52 EvergreenTree New mod:  https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=7637
00:52 EvergreenTree \o/
00:52 Megaf dafull97, clusters doesnt work like that
00:52 VanessaE dafull97: because the server is not multithreaded enough to work for that.
00:52 Megaf dafull97, and minetest server is not really multithread yet
00:53 dafull97 ok so it would work that good?
00:53 Megaf it depends on what you want
00:53 Megaf whats your objective
00:53 Menche it would probably only be able to use the one master board
00:53 Megaf and if you have an objective
00:53 VanessaE a good cluster needs to have more network bandwidth between its nodes than what any two random processes could possibly want to use to send data to one another, and the program must be fully multithreaded.
00:53 harrison everybody wants to rule the world
00:54 VanessaE Megaf: to run a fast server on minimal hardware.
00:54 Megaf fast is relative,
00:54 Megaf Raspberry Pi is pretty fast for minetest server, really responsive
00:54 Megaf up to 6 players and with the minimal game
00:55 Megaf that the 256 MB of ram version and without overclock
00:55 Menche would probably run minetest-classic even better
00:56 ShadowNinja EvergreenTree: What do you use to generate the bedrock layer? My bedrock mod?
00:57 dafull97 Megaf, idk... i need some time to think... haha
00:57 EvergreenTree Just minetest.register_ore
00:57 EvergreenTree I did it from scratch
00:57 MinetestBot GIT: proller@github.com commited to minetest/minetest: Masterserver show privs and js autoload 4a8a50a2a2 2013-11-03T16:56:39-08:00 http://git.io/xaE44w
00:57 ShadowNinja EvergreenTree: And the screenshot doen't seem to show anything specific to the mod.
00:57 Menche what's the purpose of blocking digging below -1000?
00:57 EvergreenTree There isn't anything specific
00:58 EvergreenTree The sword has a larger wieldview
00:58 ShadowNinja EvergreenTree: Mine is better. :-) It uses the VM. And it generates at -30914, the limit.
00:58 EvergreenTree You can place logs with 6d facedir
00:58 troller Menche, if using indev - more huge caves
00:59 Megaf I little help would be much appreciated on my rpi server to build a castle
00:59 EvergreenTree I'll add something to settings.txt so you can configure how low the layer is
00:59 Menche troller, EvergreenTree's game *blocks* digging below -1000
00:59 EvergreenTree IT's not a game, its a mod
00:59 dafull97 is minecraft multithreaded?
00:59 Megaf dafull97, so you want a server that burns little energy and costs little money
00:59 EvergreenTree And like I said, I'll add a setting for that later
00:59 Megaf thats it?
00:59 dafull97 yea, basically
00:59 VanessaE EvergreenTree: ah so you liked that lib_6d code eh? :)
01:00 EvergreenTree Yep[
01:00 EvergreenTree *Yep
01:00 Megaf dafull97, you can use Raspberry Pi yes,
01:00 VanessaE just saw your 'tweaks' post
01:00 Megaf the one with 512 MB of ram
01:00 dafull97 i was thinking https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/A20/A20-OLinuXino-MICRO/open-source-hardware
01:00 dafull97 1gb ram
01:00 dafull97 and cheaper
01:00 Megaf dafull97, then put a Class 10 SDCard and a fast USB thumb drive
01:01 Megaf dafull97, thats cheap
01:01 dafull97 the board?
01:01 EvergreenTree Anything you dislike about minetest, I'll try and make a fix for it in my mod
01:01 Megaf dafull97, yep
01:01 EvergreenTree *minetest_game
01:01 dafull97 Megaf, ik
01:02 dafull97 Megaf, that why i want it.... and i was gonna get 2 and cluster it
01:02 Megaf well, just forget about cluster
01:02 dafull97 it would help to have experiance too... im wanting to get into networking after college
01:02 harrison EvergreenTree: can you make it raytraced instead of rasterized?
01:03 Megaf if you want cluster, then you need a 64 bit server with gigabit ethernet
01:03 EvergreenTree No, something I can do in a mod.  :P
01:03 dafull97 64-bit? why 64-bit?
01:03 troller btw big help to old hardware = https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/895/files
01:05 Megaf troller, now we just need an easy way to use that
01:05 troller its already here https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=7033
01:10 troller building minetest +minetestserver on odroid x2: real    6m13.652s
01:10 troller
01:10 troller show me pi result 8)
01:19 Peacock pi result http://i500.listal.com/image/1189040/500full.jpg
01:24 EvergreenTree Hey VanessaE, what would you suggest for a mid range CPU?   (less than 130 USD)
01:24 VanessaE I wouldn't know, to be honest.
01:24 VanessaE my Phenom II X6 1055T was inexpensive enough
01:24 VanessaE but I got it as part of a package deal
01:25 EvergreenTree Does it server you pretty well?
01:25 EvergreenTree *serve
01:25 VanessaE oh yes, for the most part quite well
01:25 VanessaE it's only where Minetest is involved that it sometimes lacks a bit :P
01:25 EvergreenTree What problems did you have with it?
01:25 VanessaE best to start at pricewatch,  http://www.pricewatch.com/cpu/
01:26 VanessaE the only problems I ever have are all software-related.  you know, inefficient code and the like :)
01:30 EvergreenTree Would you say an Intel Core i3-3220 would be a good choice?
01:30 VanessaE I'm afraid I couldn't say at all
01:30 EvergreenTree OR would the amd phenom be better?
01:30 EvergreenTree hmm
01:30 EvergreenTree Anyone have an intel core i3?
01:31 * ShadowNinja has a i5.
01:32 ShadowNinja "Phenom" is far too unsecific, some of those will be better than some i7s, some worse than some i3s.
01:32 ShadowNinja (Assuming you've decided on sandy/ivy bridge if you chose intel)
01:33 VanessaE he's comparing to my Phenom II X6 1055T I guess
01:33 troller 20 bots on odroid, ant it still playable
01:33 ShadowNinja Um, I think yours is better...
01:33 Ikkiko joined #minetest
01:34 ShadowNinja troller: Maybe commit the lag redistribution patch?
01:34 troller i'm ready
01:34 EvergreenTree VanessaE, what kind of software problems did you have?
01:35 VanessaE EvergreenTree: nothing I could blame on the hardware.
01:35 EvergreenTree Okay, good
01:35 VanessaE I was trying to make a joke that Minetest tends to be slow in places :)
01:37 EvergreenTree Ah
01:38 troller slowest part now is mapgen
01:39 troller but slill playable if not use fast
01:39 troller who have ipv6 - can try
01:40 troller my server at top 8)
01:40 EvergreenTree sfan5, update your incorrectly formated mod topic
01:40 EvergreenTree *I mean, run your bot that finds incorrectly formated topics and reports them
01:45 ShadowNinja EvergreenTree: +1
01:45 OldCoder R
01:45 OldCoder Sorry I missed his question
01:46 OldCoder I have so many channels I no longer see highlighting
01:46 NekoGloopMkII joined #minetest
01:48 ShadowNinja OldCoder: Use tab view is you aren't already and enable notifications/beeps.
01:48 ShadowNinja if*
01:48 OldCoder Tab View doesn't work for 70 tabs though?
01:48 OldCoder And sound not applicable if come and go from PC
01:49 OldCoder We need an IRC client that displays tabs at the top
01:49 OldCoder based on criteria
01:49 OldCoder Maybe I can patch one
02:21 ecube joined #minetest
02:26 EvergreenTree Lol, I go onto ##hardware and I almost get torn limb from limb by the guy who stole my nick
02:27 VanessaE heh
02:27 MrBeNNy joined #minetest
02:28 VanessaE have you tried complaining to freenode staff?
02:28 VanessaE noting he registered the nick only 20 hours ago
02:29 EvergreenTree They thought I was a troll, and I stole his nick
02:29 EvergreenTree almost got into a flamewar
02:29 EvergreenTree Nah, not really worth it
02:31 EvergreenTree lol, didn't notice OldCoder was on #hardware
02:31 OldCoder Hi!
02:31 OldCoder I am not there
02:32 OldCoder Is there an OldCoder in #hardware?
02:32 * OldCoder is confused
02:32 EvergreenTree Yes
02:32 OldCoder !
02:32 * OldCoder joins #hardware
02:32 OldCoder There is only me
02:32 * OldCoder remains confused
02:34 VanessaE ##
02:35 OldCoder VanessaE, ?
02:35 * OldCoder is even more confused
02:35 VanessaE I believe he means ##hardware
02:35 OldCoder No
02:35 VanessaE two #'s
02:35 OldCoder I see him in #hardware
02:36 VanessaE oh
02:37 OldCoder No you are correct
02:38 OldCoder There is a ##hardware and I see people I know there
02:38 OldCoder But only one of me and I have been online for nearly 10 hours
02:38 OldCoder As the nick is registered, I am not sure how he could have seen "me" there
02:39 * VanessaE shrugs
02:41 VanessaE OldCoder: there are plantlife and farming_plus updates you will need to pull in btw
02:45 OldCoder VanessaE, I will do so with alacrity
02:45 OldCoder Who has farming_plus now, again?
02:46 VanessaE pilzadam does, but somehow I've been elected to maintain it :)
02:46 VanessaE https://github.com/PilzAdam/farming_plus.git
02:46 VanessaE er, maybe you want the ssh link.  git@github.com:PilzAdam/farming_plus.git
02:48 dafull97 joined #minetest
02:48 dafull97 hey
02:49 ShadowNinja https is better for just pulling as no certs are needed.
02:49 VanessaE hi
02:49 ShadowNinja Hello.
02:52 dafull97 Does minecraft support multithread?
02:52 VanessaE no clue; minetest does but only to a limited degree
02:57 sandman joined #minetest
02:58 zat It is dangerous walking around here alone, take one of these: https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/1456625_254627107994426_964071069_n.jpg
02:59 dafull97 VanessaE, clustering would that share RAM usage?
03:00 VanessaE dafull97: to a degree, but just forget about it :)
03:00 VanessaE zat: ha!  are those pokémon at the bottom? :)
03:01 zat yes those are called pokémon lol
03:01 dafull97 nah, im wanting it to use both devices RAM so it would be like 1 machine some what
03:01 VanessaE dafull97: forget it.  it ain't worth the effort.
03:01 dafull97 well im wanting experience in it for later
03:02 dafull97 if i could manage to do that i could have a 2gb ram server for minetest would make awesome performance
03:02 VanessaE it won't work for minetest
03:02 VanessaE it isn't multithreaded enough
03:03 ShadowNinja dafull97: Um, 2gb doesn't mean "awesome performance".
03:04 dafull97 ik, but compared to a 512mg ram
03:04 ShadowNinja dafull97: It might even be slower because of the netio.
03:04 VanessaE indeed not.  I have 16GB on my machine and that doesn't really help the servers much at all
03:04 dafull97 i have 30mbps
03:04 VanessaE (it's helpful for the client though)
03:04 dafull97 i would make with 1gb eth
03:04 VanessaE nope
03:04 VanessaE you need CPU power, and a lot of it.
03:04 ShadowNinja dafull97: That has nothing to do with the connection between nodes, unless they will be in different locations.
03:05 VanessaE that means a single, fast processor perhaps with 2-4 cores.
03:06 ShadowNinja dafull97: Point is: Well... that this is pointless.
03:07 dafull97 why would it be pointless? i honestly dont understand why... not trying sound mean, etc.
03:07 dafull97 just wondering
03:07 ShadowNinja dafull97: Because it won't be faster. In fact it will be slower.
03:09 us_0gb Did I just flash off the network for a bit?
03:09 VanessaE us_0gb: nope
03:10 dafull97 ShadowNinja, can you please explain like why it would be?
03:10 us_0gb Hmm. I seem to have on the other IRC network. I also lost connection to my meeting during a critical argument.
03:10 ShadowNinja dafull97: I cannot parse that sentence.
03:11 VanessaE ShadowNinja: why would it be slower with a cluster, he means.
03:11 dafull97 yes ^^
03:11 ShadowNinja dafull97: Because of NetIO.
03:14 dafull97 true, but it would give it more RAM, and it would still be processing on the master?
03:15 VanessaE it doesn't work like that.
03:15 VanessaE programs have to send data to one another and to RAM, and that takes upwards of hundreds of megabytes/second to a few gigs a second.
03:15 VanessaE that's something a network device just can't do.
03:15 us_0gb There's this thing called a bottle neck. If one part of the system is too limiting, it doesn't matter how well the rest of the system works.
03:16 dafull97 ohhh, ok i see so not enoguh cpu power to do that effiently?
03:16 us_0gb Lots of RAM, no way to send enough data to it to actually make use of the RAM.
03:17 dafull97 efficiently*
03:17 VanessaE dafull97: not enough network bandwidt
03:17 us_0gb I don't know the situation, but I don't think it has to do with the CPU.
03:17 VanessaE gig ethernet can only sustain 100MB/sec and that's if you can keep it full.
03:18 dafull97 really??? i tohught it could contain 1gb... since it is a gig eth, hahaha.... welll that is odd
03:19 VanessaE gigaBIT.  not gigabyte.
03:19 dafull97 ohhh, hahaha i always wondered what the difference was
03:19 VanessaE the rule of thumb is 10 bits to one byte (including network overhead)
03:19 dafull97 ok...
03:20 VanessaE (though on modern networks it's very close to 8:1)
03:20 dafull97 so it isnt worth if you jsut do 2 clustered together
03:20 VanessaE nope
03:20 VanessaE even if you had 10 of them it wouldn't be worth it.
03:20 us_0gb It could be a fun experiment though, if you just want to learn to cluster.
03:21 dafull97 idk about that VanessaE, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLJuJw1eN94
03:21 VanessaE clustering is intended for applications where all processes being spawned consume roughly equal resources - say a rendering job.
03:21 ShadowNinja But Minetest isn't a good app to test it with.
03:21 VanessaE "three node supercomputer"
03:21 VanessaE hah
03:21 us_0gb Yeah, probably not Minetest.
03:21 VanessaE no.
03:22 dafull97 they named it that becasue they now have over 60
03:22 dafull97 that was a project they worked on
03:22 dafull97 look at the performance differance between 1 and 3
03:23 VanessaE no need.
03:23 VanessaE supercomputing/clustering only works well for applications designed for it,
03:23 dafull97 ok, so it wouldnt share ram?
03:23 VanessaE that's why Pixar runs a render "farm".  they have a bunch of PC's running the same software, all of them clustered together to get the job done much faster
03:23 VanessaE no.
03:24 VanessaE I forget, how big is their farm now?
03:24 VanessaE 12,500 CPU cores.
03:25 dafull97 wow!
03:25 dafull97 dang
03:25 VanessaE uh huh.  and they run software that's designed to scale like that
03:25 dafull97 so what is clustering used for mostly now
03:25 VanessaE so it takes full advantage.
03:25 VanessaE stuff like that ^^^^, or folding@home, or compiling, etc.
03:27 VanessaE almost anything where you can divide a job up into discrete units that don't depend on one another and don't require a lot of cross-communication could benefit.  Minetest is not one of those things.
03:28 dafull97 so it would be best just to stick with buying one with suffient ram itself
03:28 VanessaE you could hand off a thousand frames of a movie to a thousand separate cores, for example, and let each core render that frame, then collate the results.  Keep feeding frames to cores as they become idle.
03:28 VanessaE you need CPU power, not RAM.
03:28 VanessaE 512MB is enough,
03:29 VanessaE what you need is a single, very fast CPU with 2 or so cores.
03:29 dafull97 would a Raspberry pi or  * https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/A20/A20-OLinuXino-MICRO/open-source-hardware *
03:29 dafull97 be faster and better for minetest/minecraft server
03:30 VanessaE buy both and see which performs better?
03:31 VanessaE turn the other into a router or something :P
03:32 Exio4 VanessaE: about the threaded part, there are a lot of things that could be "threadized" but the job for doing that is.. way too big
03:32 VanessaE yep I know
03:32 VanessaE the eternal problem with SMP :-/
03:32 Exio4 nope
03:32 VanessaE nope?
03:33 Exio4 it is because the program wasn't thought was a "multithreaded one"
03:33 VanessaE eh, well maybe
03:33 Menche would making it perform better on more cores make it perform worse on a single core machine?
03:33 dafull97 yea i might, Megaf raspberry pi performs nicely im on his server now
03:33 VanessaE but some problems just can't be divided up reasonably.
03:33 VanessaE Menche: probably not enough to become visible
03:33 VanessaE modern OS's are pretty good at delegating processes to cores
03:33 Exio4 Menche: the overhead would be too small
03:33 VanessaE (or to one core)
03:36 Exio4 i'm pretty c55 never thought about minetest being played for more than two guys in nonwhere that he knew
03:36 Exio4 pretty sure*
03:36 VanessaE haha
03:36 Exio4 no? :P
03:36 VanessaE no. :)
03:37 Exio4 did he say, some time ago, "I will make the minecraft-like game, with modding support and in C++!"?
03:38 VanessaE idk, I wasn't here :)
03:38 VanessaE but I'm pretty sure he had some idea that people would use it :)
03:38 Exio4 was k4hrl the one that coded the lua-support?
03:38 * VanessaE pokes kahrl
03:38 Exio4 nah
03:38 Exio4 bad girl, it was just curiosity and lazyness from my side :P
03:39 Exio4 for not looking around
03:39 VanessaE hah
03:39 VanessaE I ain't afraid to ping him.  He has the option of not answering :)
03:41 kahrl nah, c55 coded it, I just moved over the crafting recipes
03:42 Exio4 really?
03:43 kahrl almost :p
03:48 kahrl I did code the whole itemdef/craftdef manager and stuff like that but adding the lua interpreter was c55
03:49 OldCoder VanessaE, It look like I'm using Zeg9's farming plus ATM. Will things break if I continue to use that one?
03:49 Exio4 ah
03:50 Peacock farming ATM... money that grows on trees? wicked! :D
03:50 OldCoder Heh
03:54 VanessaE yes, things will break.
03:54 VanessaE use pilzadam's.
03:55 Peacock but be sure to buy him dinner and a movie before using him :P
03:55 VanessaE a function it depends on was changed in minetest_game's farming.  pilzadam's has the fix, zeg9's does not.
03:55 VanessaE haha
03:56 OldCoder VanessaE, t y
03:56 us_0gb Does anyone here know how Minetest weather works?
03:57 * VanessaE pokes troller
03:57 VanessaE he does ;)
03:57 Peacock black magic i suspect :p
03:57 us_0gb Okay, thanks! I'll make a note to ask him next time I see him.
03:58 us_0gb Peacock: More specifically, I need to know what to do about weather, and how to make use of it. Not the literal method in which it works.
03:58 us_0gb Most computers run using black magic. That's common knowledge.
03:58 Peacock i think you need to have finite on
03:59 VanessaE us_0gb: and magic smoke ;)
03:59 dafull97 VanessaE, i may go ahead and get 2 boards and cluster them and use them for several things
03:59 us_0gb Finite? As in finite liquid? Drats. No weather for me then.
03:59 dafull97 then build them up to i get like 30, haha
03:59 VanessaE us_0gb: at any rate it depends on an extra mod, and yes finite lquids I think.
03:59 dafull97 maybe host one as a router/DCHP
04:00 Peacock no need for router/dchp, IP-over-pidgeon is the wave of the future
04:00 us_0gb VanessaE: I'm writing the modules though. Most of the ones I'm using. Needing extra code won't be an issue if I know what needs to be added.
04:01 us_0gb Any idea why weather would depend on liquid finateness? It seems to involve freezing and melting.
04:01 VanessaE https://github.com/proller/minetest-mod-weather/tree/weather
04:01 VanessaE you need that
04:01 VanessaE plus the engine patches
04:02 VanessaE and you have to turn it on in your config also
04:02 VanessaE (the feature, not the mod)
04:02 us_0gb The copy I'm developing on is from sometime today, though not the latest.
04:03 VanessaE probably best to use proller's "next" fork
04:03 VanessaE https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=7033
04:04 * dafull97 is about to goto sleep
04:04 us_0gb Hmm. I'm trying to make something that will be used on main Minetest. Would developing with a fork be helpful to that?
04:04 Peacock goto's are not permitted
04:04 us_0gb Good night, dafull97.
04:04 OldCoder dafull97, Night. dafull97 You had a question for me earlier?
04:04 OldCoder VanessaE, Zeg9 suggests his craft guide is much improved over others. But he notes...
04:05 OldCoder that it will leave unknown blocks
04:05 VanessaE us_0gb: it might, because his patches will probably go into mainline sooner or later, though when is uncertain.
04:05 OldCoder Is there consensus about whether or not to use Zeg9 craft guide?
04:05 VanessaE OldCoder: well I use Unified Inventory, which has a crafting guide also
04:05 Peacock which craft guide works da best?
04:05 dafull97 OldCoder, i did, are you in networking
04:06 us_0gb Cloud hight? That's settable? I need to fix my cosmic module then, it assumes the default height.
04:06 VanessaE us_0gb: idk, is it?
04:06 VanessaE last I knew that was a client-side feature only?
04:07 us_0gb THat module you linked me to uses it. THough then again, that doesn't make it a real setting, necessarily.
04:07 VanessaE hm, maybe it works now :)
04:07 OldCoder dafull97, I have done a lot of networking projects
04:07 OldCoder And I am working on a Cloud Service presently
04:08 OldCoder I started in networking, technically, about 37 years ago
04:08 us_0gb VanessaE: According to the example conf, yeah, it's a client setting. I don't know why a server module would be using it.
04:08 VanessaE maybe proller implemented it
04:08 dafull97 OldCoder, really? could you help me in networking? i asked VanessaE already but the more help the better
04:08 OldCoder dafull97, what is it that you need?
04:08 OldCoder A basic understanding? Not too difficult
04:09 OldCoder I believe you can code network scripts in Lua
04:09 OldCoder as well as Perl and Python
04:09 dafull97 OldCoder, well, in overall just assistance if i need it
04:10 VanessaE OldCoder:  he wants help with outside-of-minetest network e.g. hardware/driver level
04:10 OldCoder Driver level? Huh
04:10 dafull97 yes, and coding networks itself... =D
04:10 OldCoder All the way down to registers?
04:11 us_0gb It doesn't make sense to use that setting though, as a single client/server machine could want different settings.
04:11 OldCoder dafull97, Big field. Ask questions later on if they occur to you.
04:11 VanessaE OldCoder: he wants to cluster two or more Raspberry Pis together
04:11 OldCoder Ah!
04:11 us_0gb Client settings should not interfere with what the server is doing.
04:11 OldCoder I will not be much use with that
04:11 OldCoder But dafull97 feel free to ask about TCP/IP and server client in general
04:11 VanessaE us_0gb: I can see an argument for it:  different planet, different limit to cloud altitude, ergo different actual placement of them
04:12 dafull97 OldCoder what is your input on 2 pi clustered together to make RAM usage shared?
04:12 us_0gb VanessaE: Yes, but that should be a separate setting.
04:12 VanessaE I'd like to see an option to disable clouds entirely and replace them with a moving image of some kind
04:13 Menche don't only specially made programs benefit from clusters
04:13 VanessaE (e.g. a static image that is slowly scrolled over the sky, e.g. a rendering of clouds rather than blocky clouds)
04:13 us_0gb For example, cloud_hight and server_cloud_hight.
04:13 VanessaE Menche: yes, generally.
04:13 Peacock you can disable clouds, tho not replace them
04:14 OldCoder dafull97, I know little of portable devices. THis is off-topic but there are others who will comment. PM please.
04:15 OldCoder dafull97, I have PMd
04:22 us_0gb Hmm. Whether isn't what it seemed to be. I think I'll leave it out.
04:23 Peacock *weather
04:23 Peacock :P
04:23 Peacock (i get the two mixed up as well XD)
04:23 us_0gb Nothing can freezemelt at 0 degrees? That's odd, considering that's water's freezemelt temperature.
04:24 us_0gb Peacock: My apologies. Spell check doesn't catch when I spell the wrong word but I spell it correctly.
04:24 Peacock thats why i often get it wrong too lol
04:25 us_0gb Ha ha, nice.
04:25 us_0gb I've always had issues with spelling. About a year ago though, I learned why.
04:25 Peacock lysdexic?
04:25 us_0gb We tactile learners are just naturally bad at spelling.
04:26 us_0gb I'm slightly dyslexic as well, but that's a separate issue for me.
04:26 Peacock im more photographic than oral learner
04:27 Peacock takes me a tenth of the time to learn something reading about it that sitting in a classroom
04:27 us_0gb If I recall, my oral learning scores were low.
04:27 Peacock i also detested anything to do with languages or the arts lol
04:28 Peacock which, let's face it, leads to a career of teaching languages or the arts lol
04:28 us_0gb Everything is an art. Even science is an art.
04:28 Peacock well art is pretty suggestive, but in science, every question only has 1 answer
04:28 Peacock *subjective
04:28 Peacock not suggestive lol
04:29 us_0gb Well, some art is pretty suggestive. Have you seen the Greek sculptures?
04:29 Peacock yeah but that's pron lol
04:29 us_0gb Technically, no.
04:29 Peacock i meant to say art can be interpreted many different ways lol
04:30 us_0gb It's just the beauty of the human body, in stone form.
04:30 Peacock yeah ive seen pics of it, never been to greece tho
04:30 Peacock seems to guys were last in line when god was handing out the equipment lol
04:30 Peacock *those
04:31 * dafull97 is going to bed...
04:31 us_0gb *Zeus
04:33 Peacock in any case the notion that you can grade someone's art or their interpretation of it seemed ridiculous to me in school, thats why i hated it lol
04:33 Peacock at most, you can grade someone on their knowledge of art history
04:35 OldCoder Peacock, Representational art...
04:35 OldCoder They graded based on the ability to follow conventional rules
04:36 OldCoder So not Art really per se but mechanics
04:36 Peacock well i dont know how that would work with modern and postmodern art lol
04:36 us_0gb Postmodern? That sounds like future art.
04:36 Peacock postmodern art started around the 70s
04:37 OldCoder It would not work
04:38 OldCoder Too limiting
04:38 OldCoder And every era believes that it is post-modern
04:38 OldCoder We are always the cutting edge; the ones who are different and special
04:39 Peacock since when have artists not self-aggrandized lol
04:39 us_0gb No one is special. We all are replaceable, and will be replaced when they inevitably die.
04:40 Peacock you could say everyone is unique, but special implies better than the rest
04:41 Peacock tho treating every kid as special since the 90s' firmly convinced me not to have any lol
04:42 * Menche wonders what will come after "postmodern"
04:43 Peacock depends what state society's in
04:44 us_0gb Menche: Post-postmodern.
04:44 Peacock bedpostmodern lol
04:44 us_0gb Peacock: No children? Nice, me neither, but mostly for other reasons.
04:44 Peacock interesting read if you ignore the source: http://www.atlassociety.org/why_art_became_ugly
04:45 Menche who names "eras" anyway... and who decides how long eras are, lol
04:45 us_0gb As an asexual, the process of child creating ... is more than I want to deal with.
04:45 Peacock could still adopt, though i dont know what youre chances would be being single
04:45 us_0gb Slim, yeah.
04:46 Peacock i just dont want any kids lol
04:46 Peacock even if you raise em right, they'd still pick up the habits of all the other kids
04:47 OldCoder us_0gb, But we tell ourselves that we are special
04:47 us_0gb I sort of want children, to raise them right and better the world, but it seems like it would be such a hassle. I think I'll be happier without them.
04:48 us_0gb OldCoder: Yes, most people tell themselves they're special, but that doesn't make it true.
04:48 Peacock well the way the world is going, they might resent you for it lol
04:48 OldCoder us_0gb, Of course. That is the point.
04:49 us_0gb The children would resent me for raising them?
04:49 * OldCoder looks forward to upgrading more worlds soon
04:49 OldCoder g2g
04:49 Peacock no for bringing them into the world lol
04:50 Peacock they'll probably be working longer, earning less, paying more for everything, and paying high taxes
04:50 Peacock *higher
04:50 Peacock yeah i can get a cheaper TV made in china than what my parents could back in the day, but on the flipside, i'll be paying a heckuvalot more for a house to put it in
04:53 Peacock and while our parents could keep the same appliances for 20 years, we're lucky now if they last the warranty lol
04:55 paramat joined #minetest
04:56 paramat Peacock, new commit with perlin-varied size and persistence, ores still very simple https://github.com/paramat/asteroid
04:56 Peacock are you gonna make more changes? if so i should wait
04:57 paramat yes more changes coming
04:57 paramat no more SNOOFF, but a new parameter ICET heh
04:58 Peacock ICET sounds like isset :P
04:58 paramat http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice-T
05:00 Peacock sweet, i love law and order lol
05:02 paramat i renamed dust to 'regolith', also, it now completely covers the stone, instead of being patchy
05:03 Peacock well im gonna have to change a few things anyhow, which is why im thinking of modularizing the whole thing at my end
05:03 Peacock so all i need to swap out in the ongen module
05:04 us_0gb Peacock: I am unable to bring them into the world, I can only (maybe) adopt.
05:04 ShadowNinja paramat: 1) Use proper git commits, not just v1, v2, v3, etc. 2) Use the LVM, 0.4.8 will be released soon and it will take time to learn.
05:04 * paramat also doesnt want kids
05:05 Peacock cuz i use the asteroid dust for two things: in the kiln for terracotta, and smelting to obtain silica and then kiln glass with it
05:08 paramat ShadowNinja, i thought commit messages could be anything, are version numbers not allowed? Also, i have already learnt LVM and new perlin map functions, just waiting for 0.4.8 stable :)
05:09 ShadowNinja paramat: Commits are designed for individual concepts, eg, "Cache settings". Tags are designed for versions and the like.
05:10 us_0gb paramat: I'm holding off too, though I want to use that Settings() feature pretty badly. Even if not for its intended purpose.
05:10 ShadowNinja Git *works* with commits like that. But that isn't really the way it's designed to be used.
05:11 paramat okay thanks, still a git newbie
05:11 Peacock dont worry, 3 years and i still have no clue how it works lol
05:11 ShadowNinja us_0gb: What Settings() abuse do you have in mind?
05:12 us_0gb ShadowNinja: I use it to parse some information out of map_meta.txt. Chunk size, water level, and I think one other thing.
05:13 ShadowNinja paramat: The docs at git-scm.com and the "Pro Git" book on it are helpfull.
05:13 us_0gb Information I need to know to set my modules correctly.
05:13 ShadowNinja us_0gb: Ah, that should be fine.
05:14 us_0gb Yeah, I'm not using it maliciously, just not for its intended purpose of module-based configuration files.
05:14 paramat thanks SN
05:15 ShadowNinja YW.
05:15 us_0gb ShadowNinja: I might also use it to store player currency, and some other non-configuration things.
05:15 us_0gb Just because it would be easier.
05:16 Leoneof joined #minetest
05:16 ShadowNinja us_0gb: minetest.serialize, or serialize_json(if we get it) sounds better for that. -- If it doesn't need to be human-readable that is.
05:17 reactor joined #minetest
05:17 ShadowNinja That way you can add other data like tables.
05:17 us_0gb Better how? And no, it probably does not need to be human readable.
05:18 us_0gb The amount of money player ShadowNinja has doesn't need to be represented as a table.
05:19 us_0gb I wouldn't know how to represent it that way if I tried. THough I could put it in a table, I guess.
05:19 ShadowNinja Yes, but you can later store data other than money in the file.
05:32 paramat Peacock, possibly useful ... see my 'spacetime' mod for code that sets and fixes time to midnight, hopefully custom skies come in 0.4.8 and you wont need it
05:32 Peacock what i did was easier: /set -n time_speed 0 and /time 0
05:32 reactor paramat: there is already a setting that fixes time.
05:33 reactor Yes, that, Peacock.
05:33 reactor Orthogonality is good.
05:33 Peacock aiight, i got a smelter for seperating ores, a forge for making ingots, an assembler (5x5 workbench) and a kiln for making glass/terracota... anything missing? lol
05:34 paramat wow cool
05:34 Peacock probably a protein/chemical synthesizer, ill need that for chemical lights and batteries
05:35 reactor Protein batteries? That's something new.
05:35 Peacock and an algea-pod for making food (algea paste)
05:35 Peacock chemical batteries :P
05:35 Peacock sortof star-trekish replicator, cuz there's no other way i can think of coming up with chemicals
05:35 paramat i want to make 'air' nodes drownable and have moonrealm-mod type breathable atmosphere nodes
05:35 Peacock i dont want pools of liquid in asteroids lol the mess and all
05:36 reactor I still wonder why people still use non-reghargeable batteries.
05:36 reactor s/still w/w/
05:36 reactor s/gh/ch/
05:36 Peacock i was thinking of making the air drownable too, tho im saving that for last since historically, the airgen bit was the trickiest
05:36 reactor Does space mod also remove gravity?
05:36 paramat certainly was :/
05:37 Peacock havent touched gravity or air genning yet, still working out the resource tree heh
05:37 Peacock asteroids you get 4 basic resources: dust, stone, ice, and ores... and i have to find a way to make everything with that lol
05:37 Peacock hence the abundance of machines
05:37 reactor Free_move would probably be enough.
05:37 paramat i have a mod for custom gravities 'multigrav'
05:37 reactor but need to force it on
05:37 Peacock yeah i downloaded the first and latest multigrav, haven't tested it yet tho
05:37 reactor How are you gonna model the Earth?
05:37 Peacock no earth
05:37 reactor Oh, you're not orbiting anything?
05:38 Peacock game is Deep Space, just asteroids
05:38 Peacock ive pretty much gutted default of everything
05:38 reactor I was thinking about replicating ISS in MT.
05:38 Peacock re ISS, i was thining of making an inflatable pod for my tek mod in the game
05:39 Peacock so you could assemble a station with the modules
05:40 us_0gb I thought about making air drownable too. Or making it hurt you like lava. Or both.
05:40 Peacock drowning makes more sense cuz of the air bubbles
05:40 paramat ... in 'asteroid' mod i will extract oxygen from local materials, and craft air generators
05:41 reactor fill the rest of the map with water.
05:41 reactor oh.
05:41 reactor no
05:41 reactor bad
05:42 reactor or why not
05:42 reactor do it
05:42 reactor but replace water texture with transparency
05:42 Peacock well ill just go with pure air gen machines, underwater extraction makes more sense
05:42 Peacock but with normal liquids in the state they are, i haven't bothered with the waterworld map in weeks
05:43 khor joined #minetest
05:43 paramat ah i wondered how waterworld was going / not going
05:44 Peacock well the normal liquids take ten minutes to flow, air holes take longer to fill up
05:44 Peacock im glad i dont have to deal with liquids at all in the asteroid map lol
05:52 paramat im gonna keep asteroid mod mapgen-orientated with just very simple items / crafting / machines, just basic airgen. i prefer to leave developing that stuff to others who can build on my mods mapgen

06:10 OldCoder reactor, Hi!
06:10 OldCoder reactor, I am actually trying to run mcedit now
06:10 reactor o/
06:10 reactor Good.
06:10 OldCoder I will let you know
06:10 OldCoder retrying setup
06:11 OldCoder Could not get dependencies earlier
06:11 reactor Mkay.
06:11 reactor What OS, again?
06:14 OldCoder My Linux distro
06:14 OldCoder working on this now; will report back soon
06:15 reactor What package manager?
06:15 reactor And which package repository do you use?
06:15 OldCoder Heh
06:15 OldCoder I said... *my* Linux distro :-)
06:15 OldCoder As in, me
06:15 reactor Also, how come? You got disappointed in all Linux distros?
06:15 OldCoder I created it
06:15 OldCoder Ah
06:15 OldCoder I will link you to the story
06:15 OldCoder You can glance at it while I try to get mcedit up
06:16 reactor You would probably like to try FreeBSD.
06:16 OldCoder Heh
06:16 OldCoder reactor I was there when BSD was created
06:16 OldCoder I was one of the guinea pigs :-)
06:16 OldCoder
06:16 OldCoder http://oldcoder.org/distro/distrohistory.html
06:16 OldCoder
06:16 OldCoder 20 years ago
06:16 OldCoder I tried to get CSRG to move the free BSD variations along
06:17 OldCoder They were afraid of AT&T
06:17 OldCoder and decided to wait
06:17 OldCoder Linus stepped in and filled the void
06:17 OldCoder The link above is the answer to your question
06:17 OldCoder Hope it is interesting
06:17 OldCoder
06:18 OldCoder easy_install is building a bunch of dependencies. This will take a few minutes.
06:18 OldCoder Others, this is about converting MC maps to MT
06:19 reactor I see.
06:19 reactor Well, eh.
06:19 reactor Linux was a substitute for UNIX in the days it was undergoing relicensing.
06:20 OldCoder More than that
06:20 OldCoder The time was right...
06:20 reactor I don't see any reason to be sticking with a clone when you have the original OS for free now.
06:20 OldCoder There was going to be a Free PC UNIX
06:20 OldCoder Heh
06:20 OldCoder It is not a "clone"
06:20 reactor It's a badly written one.
06:20 OldCoder It is *my* OS and does as I wish
06:20 OldCoder Hm?
06:20 reactor The Linux kernel is.
06:20 OldCoder As I said, this is *my* version
06:20 OldCoder It does what I wish it to
06:21 OldCoder Here is a little white paper:
06:21 reactor I see. I'm talking specifically about the kernel.
06:21 OldCoder http://oldcoder.org/distro/distronotes.html
06:21 OldCoder Yes
06:21 OldCoder Linux and distros are not the same
06:21 OldCoder
06:21 OldCoder Hmm
06:21 OldCoder Running mcedit
06:21 OldCoder ImportError: No module named pymclevel.minecraft_server
06:21 reactor By the way. Nice site. Text-only-browser friendly.
06:21 OldCoder Yes
06:21 OldCoder Not mobile friendly yet
06:21 OldCoder It is sort of a 2003 layout
06:21 reactor Oh. Hang on. I used to get the same error.
06:22 reactor Well, screw mobile.
06:22 OldCoder reactor, mcedit needs MC?
06:22 reactor No.
06:22 OldCoder It is OK
06:22 reactor I only use my mobile to SSH into my system, to use links(1) from there :D
06:22 OldCoder That is sensible
06:22 reactor s/, to/, and/
06:22 OldCoder Should I google about the error?
06:22 reactor Mobile browsers are awful pieces of shit.
06:22 OldCoder Heh
06:22 reactor Googling didn't tell me anything.
06:22 OldCoder They are finicky this is true
06:22 OldCoder What did you do?
06:23 reactor I had to solve it myself.
06:23 reactor I can't seem to recall it. That happens a lot :(
06:23 reactor Need to think.
06:23 * OldCoder chuckles
06:23 OldCoder OK
06:23 reactor Probably my attempts at voluntary forgetting.
06:23 OldCoder Oh my
06:24 reactor pymclevel... Uh.
06:24 OldCoder Hmm
06:24 OldCoder A JAR file?
06:24 reactor No.
06:24 reactor you probably haven't got something.
06:24 reactor check the depends again
06:24 reactor I remember I had to fidget with dependencies.
06:24 OldCoder Ah
06:24 OldCoder Missing folder
06:24 reactor Got something?
06:24 OldCoder No
06:24 OldCoder I have all the depends
06:25 OldCoder It looks like the tarball omits something at GitHub
06:25 OldCoder Reviewing
06:25 reactor Yes.
06:25 reactor try and update from git
06:25 OldCoder Yes
06:25 OldCoder https://github.com/mcedit/pymclevel/archive/master.zip
06:25 OldCoder Probably this
06:25 reactor Oh. I see. I recall I had to download something separately... was it pymclevel?
06:25 OldCoder Probably
06:26 OldCoder Ugh, as the kids say...
06:26 OldCoder ImportError: No module named Cython.Distutils
06:26 OldCoder OK So I need Cython...
06:26 OldCoder I shall add Cython
06:27 reactor Cython?
06:27 reactor Something to do with C in Python?
06:27 OldCoder It is needed by pymclevel
06:27 OldCoder yes
06:27 OldCoder Building Cython now
06:28 OldCoder I want my distro to have all of this anyway
06:28 OldCoder Hmm... any way to make setup.py use multicore?
06:28 OldCoder I am pegging just one CPU
06:29 reactor Mcedit is really a bitch to handle with tiling WM.
06:29 OldCoder We will see
06:29 reactor idk hmm
06:29 OldCoder Coming along
06:29 reactor probably need threaded python
06:29 OldCoder Yep
06:29 OldCoder OK Cython built
06:29 reactor That's why I like to set all ports options myself.

06:31 reactor Oh. I wanted to ask.
06:31 OldCoder Hm?

06:32 OldCoder Explain briefly
06:33 OldCoder 60,000 hits for that error message
06:33 OldCoder That is not promising!
06:33 reactor I wouldn't like to spend a decade or more working with a bad OS.
06:34 reactor Am I safe from it if I stick to theoretical physics?
06:34 OldCoder OH
06:34 OldCoder You mean jobs as in employment?!
06:34 reactor Yes.
06:34 OldCoder Wait; let me consider
06:34 reactor I would really lose my mojo and become bald if I had to work with that shit.
06:34 OldCoder reactor, That is silly... there will be UNIX jobs in many fields
06:34 OldCoder Heh
06:35 OldCoder Here is what I did
06:35 OldCoder In September my Windows 7 laptop got virused
06:35 OldCoder They could not fix it
06:35 OldCoder The MANUFACTURER came out and said we do not know what to do
06:35 OldCoder Even they could not fix it
06:35 OldCoder Some type of firmware Windows problem
06:35 OldCoder I.T. reformatted the disk
06:35 OldCoder STILL could not fix it
06:36 OldCoder I was without a PC for a week
06:36 reactor Aha. The virus had flashed it.
06:36 OldCoder I said, never again
06:36 OldCoder Possibly... not even sure malware
06:36 OldCoder But probably
06:36 OldCoder So when the machine was rebuilt
06:36 OldCoder I VM'd the damn thing
06:36 reactor Oh.
06:36 OldCoder I now run MY LINUX distro
06:36 reactor That might work.
06:36 OldCoder and Windows is just another... Window :-)
06:36 OldCoder Windows and all the software is just a big file
06:37 OldCoder Works great!
06:37 reactor Yes, with hardware virtualisation and stuff that might be a solution.
06:37 OldCoder Yes
06:37 reactor But eh.
06:37 OldCoder I am reviewing the OpenGL issue...
06:37 reactor I wouldn't like to even touch it.
06:37 reactor Even from a virtual machine.
06:37 OldCoder Eh back... tradeoffs
06:37 reactor Because heck, it's nasty to work with, that's it.
06:37 OldCoder Well, be a webdev
06:37 reactor I can't get anything done under it.
06:37 OldCoder Lots of work and you can set up Debian VPSes for people
06:38 reactor Oh. Probably.
06:38 OldCoder Hang on. I need to look at this mcedit issue. May not be solvable.
06:38 reactor Or... I could install and adminster BSD on my friend's hosting.
06:39 reactor What kind of issue?
06:39 OldCoder TypeError("No array-type handler for type <class 'ctypes.c_ulong'> (value: c_ulong(0L))
06:39 OldCoder That type
06:40 OldCoder 60,000 hits in Google and no fix
06:40 OldCoder It is some type of OpenGL wrapper issue
06:41 reactor I haven't encountered it here.
06:41 OldCoder Yep
06:41 OldCoder It may be Xorg dependent
06:41 reactor Hell, I am confused now.
06:41 reactor I think... I'll port it myself, and meanwhile... shall I give you the incomplete thing, to try it out?
06:42 OldCoder Yes; I think I can't handle it. Sorry.
06:42 OldCoder I gave it a shot.
06:42 reactor No problem, at least you've tried.
06:42 OldCoder Ah
06:42 OldCoder Other people DO have this issue specifically with mcedit...
06:42 OldCoder Moment...
06:43 reactor Brb, my WM has had a fritz.
06:44 reactor joined #minetest
06:44 reactor I'm back.
06:44 OldCoder Hi
06:45 OldCoder Sorry, this one is beyond me
06:45 OldCoder It is a weird OpenGL wrapper issue
06:45 reactor mk
06:45 OldCoder If you can convert, I can host
06:45 reactor mk
06:45 reactor meanwhle, would you like to see the map in MT?
06:45 OldCoder Looking further at traceback
06:45 OldCoder Sure
06:45 reactor ok, I'll start the server, brb
06:46 Hunterz joined #minetest
06:47 reactor While I'm starting it, OldCoder, could you show me the multiworld setup?
06:47 reactor I have it, too, but mine is kludgey.
06:47 OldCoder reactor, I did not plan to run a client tonight...
06:47 OldCoder When a map is available, I'll put it up myself... regarding multi world...
06:47 OldCoder falling asleep but basic setup goes like this
06:48 OldCoder /opt/minetest047/... is tree
06:48 OldCoder Standard not in place setup
06:48 OldCoder Until yesterday
06:48 OldCoder I had separate games per world in the share/minetest/games folder
06:48 OldCoder Dropping back to minetest_game
06:48 OldCoder With about 100 mods in share/mods
06:48 OldCoder mod selection set by configuration lines in world.mt
06:49 OldCoder Each world is run in a script by a line like this:
06:49 OldCoder $P zegaton      minetest       30015
06:49 OldCoder The full set looks like this:
06:49 OldCoder $P angelfury    same       30000
06:49 OldCoder $P tuxworld     same       30001
06:49 OldCoder $P skyblock     same       30002
06:49 OldCoder $P calinou      same       30003
06:49 OldCoder $P octuteam     same       30004

06:50 reactor Oh.
06:50 OldCoder Um hi?
06:50 OldCoder The bot does not like long text :-)
06:51 reactor Yes.
06:51 OldCoder reactor, I had best prepare the scripts for you separately
06:51 OldCoder But basically
06:51 OldCoder each line invokes a Bash subroutine
06:51 OldCoder Which runs a loop
06:51 OldCoder The loop restarts an instance of the MT server
06:51 OldCoder With a number of parameters and using a per world configuration file
06:51 OldCoder There is code to handle damage caused by aborted runs
06:52 OldCoder For example, damaged player configuration files are repaired
06:52 OldCoder If a world crashes there is an auto-restart
06:52 OldCoder and there are a number of other tweaks
06:52 OldCoder There is also a shutdown script
06:52 reactor Oh. I have a simpler setup. An rc script calls a shell script that spawns all servers in a certain directory in a loop. But it doesn't allow for restarting servers by one, only all of them.
06:52 OldCoder That makes an attempt to close all running worlds down gracefully
06:52 OldCoder So we have similar scripts and you may review mine
06:52 OldCoder But things are in transition
06:53 OldCoder I am now falling asleep
06:53 reactor Good night?
06:53 OldCoder Just as you did about 11 hours ago
06:53 OldCoder Pretty close to it
06:53 reactor Where are you from?
06:53 OldCoder Nice talking to you

06:53 reactor Oh.
06:53 OldCoder In a specific sense
06:53 OldCoder

06:53 OldCoder Ah
06:53 OldCoder I am half Slavic
06:53 reactor Opposite sides of the Earth :D
06:53 OldCoder Not so far
06:53 OldCoder PM
06:53 reactor Idk who I am.
06:56 Miner_48er OldCoder may I see those scripts as well?
06:57 OldCoder Yes of course you may
06:57 OldCoder And I will help set up new servers
06:57 OldCoder Including such Linuxes as CentOS
06:57 OldCoder But one step at a time

15:13 reactor Bitcoin is waste of coal.
15:14 reactor Literally, you make money not by mining for some valuable material, but by heating the Universe.
15:15 reactor They could at least use not just functions for bitcoin mining, but useful computations like protein folding.
15:18 sfan5 hi everyone
15:20 reactor o/
15:21 harrison no, they couldn't. your point has been addressed before by others, so i will just add a new thought: the "uselessness" of the computation bitcoin requires is the point, and this has an analogy in ethology. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signalling_theory
15:22 harrison http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handicap_principle
15:23 harrison The theory predicts that a sexual ornament, or any other signal, must be costly if it is to accurately advertise a trait of relevance to an individual with conflicting interests. Typical examples of handicapped signals include bird songs, the peacock's tail, courtship dances, bowerbird's bowers, or even possibly jewellery and humor. Jared Diamond has proposed that certain risky human behaviours, such as bungee jumping, may be expressions o
15:23 harrison instincts that have evolved through the operation of the handicap principle. Zahavi has invoked the potlatch ceremony as a human example of the handicap principle in action. This interpretation of potlatch can be traced to Thorstein Veblen's use of the ceremony in his book Theory of the Leisure Class as an example of "conspicuous consumption".[30]
15:23 iqualfragile joined #minetest
15:23 harrison The application to bitcoin is left as a trivial exercise.

15:25 reactor harrison: that still doesn't resolve the problem
15:25 reactor harrison: we're only wasting resources, not producing anything.
15:25 reactor I mean, they're.
15:25 reactor OldCoder: mk
15:26 reactor Where do you work?
15:26 harrison http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/5617/why-are-bitcoin-calculation-useless
15:26 harrison Why don't we use calculations that are also useful for some other purpose?
15:26 harrison To provide security for the Bitcoin network, the calculations involved need to have some very specific features. These features are incompatible with leveraging the computation for other purposes.
15:27 reactor YEs.
15:27 reactor s/YE/Ye/
15:27 OldCoder reactor, East Bay Area in Silicon Valley. About half an hour to drive. 45 minutes to an hour in heavy traffic.
15:27 reactor That means, bitcoin is useless and can nto be cured.
15:27 reactor s/nto/not/
15:27 OldCoder I am told that Bitcoin will fade now because of GPUs...
15:27 OldCoder Ordinary computers can't compete
15:28 harrison i agree, it is so useless in fact that i don't want any bitcoins, but i am such an altruist that you can get rid of any bitcoins that you have by sending them to me
15:28 reactor I still would like it if someone proposed currency based on useful computation.
15:29 harrison why is establishing a cryptocurrency "useless"?
15:29 reactor Because you only waste electricity this way.
15:29 reactor When you mine gold, you produce it.
15:29 reactor When you calculate crypto functions for bitcoin, nothing is produced.
15:29 harrison why is establishing a cryptocurrency "useless"?
15:29 reactor But electricity is wasted.
15:29 reactor Because you produce nothing.
15:29 reactor Nothing. Zero.

15:41 OldCoder reactor, you do not need to trim anything and harrison come on in the water is fine
15:41 OldCoder reactor, you should only "trim" the parts you consider to be unneeded and uninteresting

15:43 harrison anyway, would you post a server address?
15:43 OldCoder harrison, there is one world up presently out of about 20
15:44 OldCoder I am in the process of upgrading
15:44 OldCoder Here is a compatible Windows client:

15:44 OldCoder It is for others who may observe this interactiont oo
15:44 reactor :D
15:44 OldCoder The Windows client is for both 32 and 64 bits
15:45 OldCoder I have not built Linux clients
15:45 OldCoder The worlds, 20 of them, are at server minetest.org
15:45 OldCoder When they are running - which is NOT today
15:45 OldCoder The ports are 30000 to about 30015 to 30020
15:46 OldCoder Right now only 30015 is up and it is out of sync... I will shut it down and restart with different mods this morning
15:46 OldCoder
15:46 OldCoder There are screenshots of all the worlds but I need to rejigger them

15:53 OldCoder If you get in, save a copy of it
15:54 OldCoder harrison, I will restart this world in 1 to 4 hours with a different set of mods
15:54 OldCoder Therefore you will be interrupted
15:54 OldCoder But ultimately a number of worlds will be running

16:24 Jordach https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/981
16:24 Jordach thexyz, we don't have cmd at sixth form
16:24 Jordach os.execute works in almost the same way
16:25 sfan5 what if I write an os that uses | to seperate paths
16:26 Jordach sfan5, detectable too
16:26 Jordach elseif package.config:sub(1,1) == "|" then
16:26 sfan5 what if I run lua on an os without a filesystem?
16:26 Jordach sfan5, impossibru
16:26 sfan5 nope
16:27 sfan5 that is entirely possible
16:27 Jordach wait, embedded systems
16:27 Jordach uhm, we would even be able to run the code in that case :P
16:27 sfan5 embedded systems usually use linux
16:27 Jordach Windows CE
16:27 Jordach OH SHIT
16:28 Jordach btw, that issue was found on the sky server

16:54 kaeza Jordach, it's a bad idea to use until command ~= nil
16:54 kaeza nil is used for EOF :P
16:55 sapier joined #minetest
16:55 Jordach kaeza, command is assigned nil until it has data into it
16:55 VanessaE hi all
16:56 kaeza Jordach, if you redirect stdin from a file, and somehow you reach EOF, that loop will keep executing indefinitely until you kill the interpreter
16:56 Jordach kaeza, i = 0
16:56 Jordach start up sets i = 1, because that's how the double repeat works
16:57 kaeza https://gist.github.com/Jordach/6932906#file-luaterminal-lua-L27
16:58 Jordach kaeza, some users might just press enter

18:33 Jordach :P
18:34 RealBadAngel i just pushed some changes to shaders, wanted him to check if hes still having errors
18:34 Menche Jordach uses Windows NT?
18:35 Jordach Menche, i cannot detect individual windows versions
18:35 Jordach but then again all windows are now decendants of NT
18:35 Menche yeah i know :P
18:35 Jordach i used a tiny trick in Lua to find if it's UNIX or Windows
18:37 Menche can determine if it's Windows NT as opposed to Windows 3.1x or Windows 9x?
18:38 Warr1024 that shouldn't be too hard
18:38 Warr1024 will minetest even run on 3.1?
18:43 * Menche has a Fedora Core 2 cd, wonder if that will run minetest.
18:43 Calinou probably doesn't have recent enough irrlicht
18:47 kaeza no love for DOS 5.0?
18:47 kaeza :<
18:48 Menche contest to see how old of an OS you can get minetest running on!
18:48 Warr1024 could be tricky to get djgpp to compile irrilicht, mt, etc. in an environment with no opengl...
18:49 kaeza Warr1024, there's OpenGL for DOS :P
18:49 kaeza well, Mesa
18:49 kaeza or whatever
18:49 Warr1024 hm,
18:49 OldCoder kaeza, Hi

18:52 Warr1024 I don't see why not
18:52 Warr1024 if you can find a decent compiler
18:52 vitto on XBLA?
18:52 Warr1024 vitto: wouldn't you have to basically rewrite it in .NET for that to happen?
18:55 Jordach nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope
18:55 Jordach C and C++ are usually used on XBLA
18:55 Warr1024 ah, cool
18:56 Jordach !plz Adam :D
18:56 TheLastProject XBLA =/= XNA
18:56 Warr1024 then I guess it would depend on whether irrilicht can be built for XBLA?
18:56 Jordach should be
18:56 Jordach XBOX 360 uses D3D8
18:56 Jordach afaik
18:56 * Calinou hooves^Whands TheLastProject a ≠ sign
18:56 Calinou or !=
18:56 TheLastProject I'd prefer !=
18:56 Warr1024 y'all both wrong.  ~=

18:57 Warr1024 I know, I don't like it either.
18:57 Calinou :þ
18:57 Warr1024 it always bugs me switching between languages that use different != operators.
18:57 Warr1024 at least it beats the old <>
18:57 JackGruff at least it beats PHP :)
18:58 Menche -ne
18:58 Menche ^ bash inequality operator
18:58 Warr1024 ha
18:58 Warr1024 perl uses != for numerical/ordinal inequality, and ne for string inequality.
18:58 Menche well, for integers. != is for strings.
18:59 Warr1024 oh, yeah, that's awesome, perl and sh are backwards.

21:06 Peacock though i still prefer xchat to hexchat, hexchat has to be configured to use system colors :/
21:07 thexyz but it's cool
21:07 thexyz it can run on anything
21:07 thexyz and at the same time it's convenient to use
21:07 Peacock yeah but ...OCD lol can't have a bunch of apps with different visual styles lol
21:07 thexyz so I don't see anything wrong with it being "written to run on a terminal for old VGA screens"
21:08 Peacock like walking into a neighbourhood with semi-detached, bungalows, 2-stories and mcmansions all on the same narrow street lol
21:08 thexyz (I don't think it's true to start with)
21:08 thexyz well, I wasn't talking about xchat or hexchat
21:08 Peacock well i think the slogan could be something else, looking at screenshots it doesn't feel like the client of the future
21:09 thexyz hah
21:09 thexyz judging programs by screenshots is totally unnice
21:09 Peacock well its the first thing people do, that or look up it's wiki page
21:09 thexyz this doesn't mean it's the right thing to do
21:09 thexyz people do many crazy things
21:10 Peacock that's what the removal of safety labels is for - population control XD
21:12 Peacock well in Europe its the lack of speed limits, but it amounts to the same lol
21:12 thexyz we should deprecate irc and use xmpp
21:13 Peacock isn't that a linux music player?
21:13 thexyz (we as in "humanity")
21:13 thexyz nice joke but it's "Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol"
21:13 sfan5 !g irc vs xmpp
21:13 MinetestBot sfan5: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4149380/whats-the-best-open-protocol-for-chat-room-software
21:13 Warr1024 xmpp "chatrooms" aren't really as mature/stable/full-featured as irc's.
21:14 Warr1024 xmpp's better for point-to-point than multicast
21:14 Peacock xmms, acronyms, keeping track of them is a fulltime job lol

21:16 Peacock anyone heard the joke around 99' about the Millenial Year Assembly Software Suite?
21:17 Peacock slightly different version here: http://www.joke-archives.com/Y2k/newsoft.html
21:18 thexyz Warr1024: well, yeah; still it's got nice features IRC will never have
21:18 thexyz like decentralization
21:19 Peacock so netsplits dont happen?
21:20 thexyz of course something like this could happen if a big jabber server goes offline for some reason
21:21 thexyz not just "could", it happens; it's impossible to live without netsplits
21:22 thexyz but decentralization is good because you don't need multiple accounts, i.e. one at freenode, one at rizon, etc, etc
21:22 Warr1024 thexyz: you mean it's technically infeasible not to have them, or do you mean that you can't imagine the travesty that life would be without glorious netsplits?
21:23 Menche joined #minetest
21:23 thexyz Warr1024: the former
21:23 thexyz and you don't have hacks like "chanserv" or "nickserv"
21:24 thexyz because it's built into the protocol
21:24 sfan5 good night
21:25 Megaf joined #minetest
21:27 thexyz Warr1024: but the latter is somehow true too
21:27 thexyz because the only way to eliminate netsplits is to destroy the internet
21:27 thexyz and then all PCs

22:28 dafull97 kaeza, got a few questions
22:29 kaeza ...and?
22:29 kaeza do not ask to ask; just ask
22:29 dafull97 what happend to the low end server?
22:30 kaeza what server?
22:31 dafull97 mcbride.homelinux.net
22:31 kaeza !up mcbride.homelinux.net
22:31 MinetestBot mcbride.homelinux.net:30000 seems to be down
22:31 kaeza :?
22:31 kaeza the server's up though
22:32 kaeza kizeren must be having DNS issues again
22:32 Peacock my ISP's dns sucks even more, i use googles' now lol
22:33 Peacock for a long time i couldn't figure out why system updates weren't downloading until i changed dns's lol
22:34 VanessaE holy crap, I just tried out 0.3.3 just to check something...  IT IS INSANELY FAST compared to 0.4.x
22:34 Peacock isn't that what i said about mt classic? :P
22:35 Peacock and people say the old mapgen was slower (poppycock)
22:35 VanessaE I mean the rendering engine
22:35 VanessaE it's insanely fast
22:35 VanessaE it never drops below 60 fps even in situations that would make 0.4.x chokle
22:35 Peacock well do you have all the same mods you run on the latest version?
22:35 VanessaE choke*
22:35 dafull97 left #minetest
22:35 VanessaE I'm talking about open land with just dirt and trees, 0.4.x can't even begin to keep up with this
22:35 Peacock there were some 0.4.x versions where i got 60 FPS, but most of the versions, it's averaged around 20
22:35 VanessaE wtf went wrong?
22:35 dafull97 joined #minetest
22:36 Peacock either 0.4.3 or 0.4.4 was really fast for me
22:36 Peacock 0.4.5 no, 0.4.6 yes
22:36 Peacock which is why it took me a long time to update from 0.4.6 lol
22:37 Peacock as for what went wrong, who knows? lol try tracking down which new feature caused what lol
22:38 Peacock liquids (normal and not normal) are a major source of game lag for me now

23:54 Peacock actually i dont mind, but also, those infinite stacks are driving me nuts when im testing machines lol
23:55 ShadowNinja Yes, I use UI and creative so I get infinitestacks of 99.
23:55 ShadowNinja +' '
23:55 Peacock normally i have my fork of UI too, but my new space game is totally from scratch, and just noticed how infinite stacks are annoying lol
23:56 Peacock id rather creative stacks were like 1K instead of 99
23:58 kaeza https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?pid=117080#p117080 is this guy teaching paramat how to mapgen?
23:58 kaeza lol
23:58 Peacock he doesn't need help with the actual mapgen bits :P
23:58 Peacock though he could save alot of time by modularising certain bits he uses in all his mods (i noticed)
23:59 Peacock like how some mods are voxnipples and others use regular ongen
23:59 kaeza I've seen many mods containing stuff that could be useful to other mods as well, but is not "exported"
