10:39 Atomic3c3d  hey, can somebody tell me what exactly minetest.org is? (not minetest.net)
10:39 Fuchs       Atomic3c3d: a website I highly recommend you do not visit
10:40 loganrun    what is the correct way to initilize a variable in a .lua module. do I just put myvar=nil on the first line?
10:40 Fuchs       Atomic3c3d: it's a former minetest related person who holds a grudge against some of the devs (and various other people) and uses that website to spread accusations agains them. Also reads logs, extracts IPs and tries to get real information of people so he can pester them in real life as well
10:41 loganrun    that sounds bad
10:42 Atomic3c3d  I see. Well, that's what I thought.
10:42 loganrun    what was his gripe about
10:43 Atomic3c3d  I mean, yesterday I accidentally visited that site and almost instantly got pm on minetest.net forums with something about child pornography
10:43 Atomic3c3d  So I was kinda worried, maybe somebody hacked official website, etc
10:44 Fuchs       Atomic3c3d: that sounds very much like him, yes
10:44 Fuchs       hence: do not visit that page
10:46 loganrun    that is an example of a good case for why surfing the web anonymously should be a viable option for people
10:49 loganrun    unfortunately as far as I know it is not
10:50 Atomic3c3d  Well, there is a site, called browserleaks.com
10:50 Atomic3c3d  Unfortunately, it's impossible to implement full protection against fingerprinting technologies presented there
10:51 Atomic3c3d  Even with tor browser, tons of addons that blocks various firefox apis, etc
11:06 AntumDeluge Wow! That is a serious grudge.
11:07 AntumDeluge Maybe we should all put in a review/rating at WOT: https://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/minetest.org
11:08 loganrun    yeah, I mean they would still have your IP address etc
11:08 loganrun    no browser leak protection can solve that
11:09 loganrun    wonder why the dude go so pissed off
11:10 Taose       IP addresses are easy enough with a VPN :)
11:10 AntumDeluge I remember reading some kind of conversation that sounded a lot like this. I'm guessing that it was the same person. But I forgot the link.
11:10 loganrun    well it will still have the IP of the VPN server
11:11 Taose       Fine by me XD
11:11 loganrun    perhaps that is good enough but it is not anonymity
11:12 Taose       Anonymous enough
11:12 Atomic3c3d  Well it's not like he can do much with your ip
11:12 loganrun    if you have access to a 3rd party server and you are satisfied with that
11:13 loganrun    it is ultimately traceability, geographic location etc.
11:13 loganrun    but that guy maybe not, but a bigger fish perhaps
11:13 Atomic3c3d  If he's so consistent about breaking laws and would do some kind of attack directly, most likely your router dont have any port forwards and doesnt respond to anything from wan
11:14 Atomic3c3d  and, again, most likely you have dynamic ip which changes with every new session
11:14 loganrun    most providers don't change ip very often anymore is my understanding
11:14 Atomic3c3d  and, ip is not very geographically correct - mine, for example, points to a NAT of my provider in another city
11:15 loganrun    Atomic3c3d: so for example he could probably find you on irc by searching for your IP
11:15 Atomic3c3d  No that's not possible
11:15 loganrun    irc shows your ip
11:16 loganrun    try whois on yourself
11:16 Atomic3c3d  I know, it's just still not enough to identify anything
11:16 AntumDeluge Jeez, what a lame life he must have if his only purpose is to harrass Minetest devs.
11:16 AntumDeluge whois AntumDeluge
11:16 AntumDeluge oop
11:17 AntumDeluge oops, lol
11:17 Atomic3c3d  My name is different on every device, right now I'm from a mobile network behind a nat and every time I loose my connection my ip changes
11:18 Raven262    whois Raven262
11:18 Raven262    well
11:18 Raven262    seems it needs a /
11:19 loganrun    Atomic3c3d: well, the nat behind the modbile network won't help since it is still the network node ip that is visible, but I suspect mobile conections change IP periodically
11:21 Atomic3c3d  yeah, I wish I could use tor on permanent basis but with all these corrupted nodes and ssl stripping
11:22 loganrun    the issue I have with tor is that it is obvious that you are connecting to the tor network
11:22 loganrun    so you are automatically targeted by state players
11:23 loganrun    it is almost like saying please watch what I am doing
11:23 loganrun    not that I do anything that i care that anyone watches,but it just seems odd
11:24 Raven262    Why? Your ISP can track anything you do on the internet.
11:24 loganrun    huh
11:26 loganrun    just saying that the Internet is not set up for people to be anonymous and there ar e a few instances where that could be helpful
11:26 Atomic3c3d  the internet changed fast
11:27 Atomic3c3d  In 2007, I couldnt even imagine that there would be worldwide Orwell's 1984-like condition
11:29 Atomic3c3d  I live in Russia, and since 2013 we had crazy amount of anti-constitutional laws, targeted to eliminate any privacy
11:30 Atomic3c3d  like, all services are forced to give encryption keys, provide full physical access, isps have to store unecrypted traffic for 6 months, amount of blacklisted sites is overwhelming, everything in russian social networks is being monitored, etc
11:31 Atomic3c3d  vpns and anonymizing services are prohibited
11:33 Atomic3c3d  and that's just the tip of iceberg, we have phone number authorization in messengers, now they want to force gamedevs to add phone auth
11:33 Atomic3c3d  etc etc
11:33 Atomic3c3d  in one sentence: a circus
11:33 Atomic3c3d  anyway enough, it doesnt look like a minetest conversation
11:48 Taose       Your ISP can't track anything if you're on a VPN. All they can see is that you're connecting to the VPN server. That's it.
11:50 AntumDeluge That guy is a sicko obsessed with tormenting Vanessa it sounds like.
11:50 Atomic3c3d  and they are banning vpn providers
11:50 Taose       Have you considered...moving?
11:51 Atomic3c3d  of course
11:51 Atomic3c3d  Sadly, I don't have enough money
11:51 Atomic3c3d  rub to $ course is really low now, for example, my month salary is around 350$ if converted to $
11:52 Taose       Yah
11:52 Atomic3c3d  its normal money in rub, but in $, obviously, its not mucb
11:52 Taose       but Mongolia is not an expensive place
12:28 yusf        Can an entity be made to emit light?
13:05 Surfer2010  hi
13:05 Taose       Hi ^-^
13:07 Surfer2010  sry i missed IhrFussel about the Chat-log Mod which does not work on my server
13:07 Surfer2010  and the other question is, can i use a single player world and copy it to a Multiplayer Server?
13:08 Surfer2010  and can i ask new People logging in or every time one logs in, he/she has to answer questions and depending on the answer (or a passw) he/she will be teleported to some different place and this will be automatic the new home point?
13:22 kilbith_    I'll be in London on the 24th-27th Jan. at the Bett Show 2018 for presenting a commercial fork of Minetest. Anyone who wish to come?
13:23 Taose       >.>
13:23 Taose       that defeats the point of Minetest
13:24 Taose       and I'm afraid I can't support a project which pretty much tries to make a profit on everything the developers for Minetest have given away pretty much freely for so long.
13:27 kilbith_    then you're against the philosophy of open-source
13:28 red-001     what's your fork?
13:29 kilbith_    Kidscode
13:31 Taose       I'm a huge fan of: Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International not so much Attribution 4.0 International
13:32 Taose       Now if you want to take your experiences from contributing to such a project and create entirely your own material, then that's fine by me. I don't think sponging off other peoples work is in the spirit of open source imo.
13:34 red-001     and I'm a fan of MIT Expat
13:37 Taose       See my issue is that I believe a coder should be paid for their work if its used commercially. Unless they've been paid and are donating re-use of their work to the public good. Don't get me wrong, but I don't think celeron55 has been paid at all...
13:38 Taose       That's where I'd support MIT Expat for example with Ruby-on-Rails
13:38 Taose       Those staff members got paid
14:45 loganrun    If I have a function in a module that gets called every time a certain type of block is clicked on, what happens if multiple players are clicking on the blocks, is it run sequentially or handled some other way
14:50 sfan5       loganrun: in whichever order the server happens to process these
14:51 sfan5       (certainly now multi-threaded however)
14:51 sfan5       not*
14:51 loganrun    well can the function be execution at the same time on two different threads?
14:51 sfan5       no
14:52 Fixer       kinda sucks
14:52 loganrun    o.k. then it occurs sequentially basically then
14:53 loganrun    ?
14:53 jas_        good luck kilbith
14:54 sfan5       loganrun: yes
14:54 loganrun    if I to do something to a block in say 10 seconds how do I queue this up since I can't pause the function for 10 seconds without stopping everything
14:55 sfan5       minetest.after
14:56 jas_        !mod warps
14:56 MinetestBot jas_: Warps [warps] (portal&#124;warp&#124;teleport) by sofar - https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=12005
14:56 jas_        this one handles timing using minetest.after for example.  there's also minetest.register_globalstep, but i'm not sure about it
14:56 loganrun    sfan5: thanks
14:59 loganrun    is minetest.get_content_id("default:cloud") the correct identity of cloud blocks. it seems like this kind of block I can't go through but real clouds I can
15:00 sfan5       the cloud blocks are unrelated to the clouds you see ingame
15:01 loganrun    do they have a content id ?
15:01 sfan5       nope
15:01 loganrun    so that I can generate them
15:01 sfan5       they don't exist in the world as blocks
15:01 sfan5       also purely client-side
15:01 loganrun    ahh ok
15:02 sfan5       if you absolutely want you could emulate the effect of clouds with nodes and then place those
15:02 loganrun    wanted something that would not block a player from walking through it
15:02 sy          sfan5: are clouds the same on all clients?
15:02 sfan5       no idea
15:05 Peppy       Hi, I have trouble with moretrees mod, is this the right place to ask for help ?
15:05 sfan5       somewhat
15:06 Peppy       works with 0.4.16 installed from PPA on latest  Xubuntu, but won't work with 0.4.16 installed from backport on latest Debian
15:06 sfan5       sounds like debian broke something
15:07 Peppy       mod loads fine anyway
15:08 Peppy       mapgen wouldn't generate trees but works if planting seed from creative inventory
15:12 Peppy       one more thing : minetest-server form Debian but minetest --server from Xubuntu
15:17 Surfer2010  anyone using the Chat-Log Mod? it's not working on my Server, it is not creating a file at all
15:17 Surfer2010  can i use a single player world and copy it to a Multiplayer Server?
15:18 Surfer2010  and can i ask new People logging in or every time one logs in, he/she has to answer questions and depending on the answer (or a passw) he/she will be teleported to some different place and this will be automatic the new home point?
15:19 Surfer2010  sfan5: allready answered me my last question is possible but has to be put into a mod/programmed
15:19 Taose       Does the application have the necessary permissions to create said file?
15:20 Surfer2010  mh good q. :) i'll check
15:21 Taose       It's probably not what's wrong, but it's permissions that always screw me up
15:22 Surfer2010  drwxr-xr-x  2 pi pi 4096 Dec  9 09:44 chatlog    and server is run by the user pi so it should be fine
15:23 Taose       now... what happens if you do drwxy-wxr-x?
15:23 Taose       oops
15:23 Taose       drwxr-wxr-x
15:24 Taose       Isn't that one to many reads?
15:24 Taose       I am very much guilty of chmod 777...
15:30 Surfer2010  no not changing anything

16:01 loganrun    I am calling minetest.after(3, self.myfunky,99), and function myfunky(index) has index==nil when it is called
16:01 loganrun    does anyone know why
16:01 rubenwardy  is that the actual code?
16:02 jas_        it's not connected to self? (*knows nothing about `self'*)
16:02 loganrun    should I change self to the actual module name?
16:02 Taose       Looks like it's wrapped up into a...
16:03 jas_        try it without self.
16:03 jas_        i dunno what that even is, *mind blown* or that setmeta command i see sometimes.  whoa, i should print out that PIL book
16:05 jas_        setmetatable
16:05 loganrun    Undeclared global variable "myfunk" accessed
16:05 loganrun    I defined function as myModule:myfunk(index)
16:06 jas_        oh yeah that happened to me a lot, i had to make it a global :'( and still dunno why.  but i see in that warps mod, sofar calls a local function with it
16:10 loganrun    jas: so how do I get the parameter passed in, also tried  minetest.after(3, self.myfunky(99),99)
16:10 jas_        i always did it in a function
16:11 jas_        minetest.after(time, function() do stuff here ... ; ; ;; ; end)
16:11 jas_        but i recently learned about this: minetest.after(dur, method, args1, args2, args3) thing which is sweet
16:11 jas_        or function, or whatever it's called
16:11 jas_        i dunno about things that have the colon, like self:do_stuff() :O
16:11 loganrun    yeah that is what I am trying to do, but it doesn't work
16:12 Taose       ... okay, can you guys stop talking in Eldritch runes pls.
16:12 jas_        i see.  well try making it a global variable like i did haha, yeah i got nothing
16:12 loganrun    not sure what the colon does either
16:12 loganrun    just saw it as example
16:13 loganrun    in the examples they embedded the function code, so maybe that is the only way it works
16:19 loganrun    if I do  minetest.after(3, self.myfunky,99,98) seems like it gets the value 98, no clue what happens to the 99
16:20 jas_        that's the second arg to function(arg1, arg2)
16:20 jas_        minetest.after(3, funky, 99, 98) => funky(99, 98) after 3 seconds.
16:20 jas_        i dunno what self is.
16:21 loganrun    yeah but funky only takes 1 argument
16:21 jas_        i dunno, got a paste of it?
16:22 Taose       Self is the object that minetest.after() is being run inside of
16:22 jas_        no kidding
16:22 jas_        wait, do you mean ObjectRef?  or object like the method or function itself ? in lua
16:22 Taose       Do we need to know what the object itself is?
16:23 Taose       When I talk about objects I usually mean class.
16:23 jas_        oh ok cool
16:23 jas_        thx
16:23 Taose       As for lua
16:24 * Taose     grabs a can of petroleum
16:24 * jas_      raises an eyebrow
16:24 * Taose     isn't a fan
16:24 jas_        oh i like it, you do c++?
16:24 Taose       used to, got side tracked by life >.>
16:25 jas_        i would love to learn it for minetest, but not a clue and like you said... life.  lua and minetest modding has been fun though.
16:25 jas_        i'm using a bindable mouse button pr but it has bugs and i haven't even looked at it ha
16:26 jas_        the author said they'd look into generic key presses or something, which sounds great
16:26 jas_        personally, i'd like to see more stuff in player_controls.  like aux1
16:27 jas_        would love to say, in a mod, make this action "aux1" or "name2" or whatever, and allow playing to bind a key to it, and make it do thus and so
16:27 jas_        in quake, for example, you could do "alias t echo 1; echo 2" and then "bind <key> vstr t" or something
16:27 jas_        (it's been a while)
16:28 jas_        and zoom was an alias like that, that adjusted fov
16:28 jas_        now zoom is hardcoded in minetest to the binoculars item, 45 degrees
16:29 jas_        ugh
16:29 jas_        i mean, 15... i do 45.
16:29 jas_        but if a CSM mod or some minetest feature allowed client to adjust FOV in game without restart, it wouldn't matter
16:29 loganrun    jas_: just changed it to an embedded function that called my function, that seems to work. it is something with the period operator I think
16:29 jas_        ah
16:30 jas_        self.funky instead of self:funky?

18:55 crazyR      can anyone explain how "minetest.get_mod_storage"  reads data... does it read/write everytime a StorageRef methid is used. or does it cache data in a tabled where possible?
18:56 crazyR      *method
19:06 swift110    hey crazyR
19:11 Krock       m_mod_storage_save_timer = g_settings->getFloat("server_map_save_interval");
19:11 Krock       ^ crazyR, that's the interval when it saves
19:11 Krock       of course, save only occurs when there have changes been made
19:12 Krock       the stuff is stored in an unordered map - so kinda a lua table with C function call delays
19:13 crazyR      thats sounds good. just wanted to make sure that freequent calls wouldnt make a drastic performance diffrence
19:14 crazyR      hi swift110
19:52 crazyR      on mapgen v7 what the right settings to stop caverns reaching the surface? does anyone know? i still want to keep caverns and caves but i want them to stay under ground

23:40 AntumDeluge Posted a review of minetest.org on WOT: https://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/minetest.org :)
23:55 sofar       I can definitely encourage others to do this too if you feel like it.
