00:03 cheapie     It's always kind of interesting coming across buildings that, after accounting for time on most MT servers running 72x the speed of real-life time, are over 300 years old.

08:51 epoch       minetest uri scheme?
08:53 epoch       I'm thinking minetest://server:port/?version=server-version-number
08:56 epoch       guess I could open an issue on master-server repo and let people argue about it there.
08:57 epoch       I think I read somewhere that query string shouldn't be used for protocol version though..
09:22 sfan5       why would you include the protocol version in there?
09:23 epoch       because I have a 0.4 and a 5 minetest client installed
09:23 epoch       it'd be better to have a program that just checks instead of including it in the url though
09:25 epoch       but yeah, version in query string is a bad idea though.
09:25 epoch       s/ though/derp/
09:27 epoch       is there any itty bitty program that can just check the minetest server version? I guess like something nmap scripting engine mine use.
09:27 epoch       might*
09:27 epoch       (which also uses lua)
09:29 sfan5       surely possible but I don't really see why this is needed, just pick any Minetest client and let it try to connect and if it works that's good
09:30 sfan5       specificially connecting to 0.4 servers is going to become less relevant over time
09:30 sfan5       for the same reason you wouldn't make sure the url scheme can support 0.3
09:30 epoch       but there's still going to be breaking network changes in the future anyway, right?
09:31 sfan5       at some point, most likely
09:33 epoch       the server list already knows the server version and including that information in the url was just the easiest way to do it at the time I thought of doing this.

21:13 Nigel       Hi. my server is getting lag spikes as players attempt to connect and d/l the media files. Is there any sane documentation as to how to set up a curl media server to offload the traffic?  I cant use the ones I've found as my apache is serving a mission critical website for a customer, so the curl connects would need to share.
21:14 Nigel       or is it source code dive time ;-)
21:15 * Nigel     afk, will watch the logs in case anyone can help
22:56 epoch       https://github.com/minetest/master-server/pull/31
23:58 epoch       x/y/z in a minetest url might also be handy to attempt to autorun /teleport x,y,z upon connection
23:59 epoch       and minetest map programs could have a "go to here in minetest" button that launches that minetest url
