18:45 Ingar it's oh so still
18:46 Copenhagen_Bram joined #minetest
18:47 SwissalpS that is a good sign Ingar, things are working :)
18:48 Ingar SwissalpS: it's actually a reply to twoelk's oh so still ;)
18:49 twoelk Shh shh
18:49 twoelk You're all alone
18:50 twoelk Shh shh
18:50 Ingar I just discovered Betty Hutton's version
18:50 twoelk And so peaceful until
18:51 twoelk yep quite old it is ...  and Betty Hutton was quite an entertainer
18:51 Ingar apparently that's not the original either
18:54 twoelk https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It's_Oh_So_Quiet
18:54 twoelk Und jetzt ist es still
18:55 Ingar I don't like the original that much though ;)
18:57 twoelk other times other styles
18:58 twoelk though once you heard Björks version everything else fades away :D
18:59 Ingar need to copy Post to my phone again

19:34 jonadab Hmm.  What are the odds either boat or minecart performance will some day get to the point where you can spend more time going forward than backward?
19:49 Pie-jacker875 joined #minetest
19:52 nepugia joined #minetest
19:58 Krock jonadab: the minecart will always drive forward
19:59 Krock unless you count that 1% of the cases where it's too slow uphill, and begins to turn
20:03 VanessaE like I ran into a few times when building a roller coaster :)_
20:04 BurningPrincess joined #minetest
20:04 dabbill joined #minetest
20:07 jonadab Krock: The "too slow" thing can, rarely, actually happen _on powered rail_, when the performance problem is bad enough; typically this will only be when the number of times you have to traverse each section of track before moving on, climbs into double digits.
20:08 jonadab But yes, that (reversing direction permanently and actually going back hundreds or thousands of blocks to the previous station / stopping point) only happens when going uphill, or occasionally on brakerail while punching to move foreward.
20:09 Krock going back from your perspective. the cart almost always faces forwards
20:09 Krock F7 player model rotation confirms
20:10 jonadab But when I said "moving backwards", I was referring to going back and re-traversing the same section(s) of track again and again.
20:11 jonadab Or the same section of ocean, in the case of boats.
20:12 jonadab As in, "See that island off in the distance up ahead?  I passed it thirty seconds ago, and thirty seconds before that, and twenty seconds before that, and..."
20:12 jonadab (And yes, I really need to migrate Minetest off my Windows Ten laptop and onto a computer with better hardware and a real OS.)
20:13 jonadab (One of these days.)
20:18 Krock (Pentium T2xxx is enough for 11 FPS)
20:34 jonadab I think the amount of RAM is more likely the problem with that laptop.  And being I/O bound a lot.  Windows Ten performs VERY badly when I/O bound.
20:35 jonadab I should run _at least_ the server, and probably the client as well, on one of my Devuan systems.
20:36 sfan5 windows and i/o is a terrible story in general
20:41 BurningPrincess1 My new computer is great.,  mimetest does not even use most of the CPU and RAM unlikle on my old one
20:41 jonadab sfan5: Phone/Eight/Ten is markedly worse in this regard than NT.
20:41 erlehmann ok now tell me what kind of computer and settings you use
20:41 erlehmann because i use debian on a thinkpad t60
20:41 erlehmann and minetest is quite okay there
20:42 erlehmann though looking at a lot of fire or leaves slows it down immensely
20:42 erlehmann no idea why though
20:42 erlehmann maybe the transparency part?
20:42 sfan5 yeah I think that's it
20:42 jonadab Yeah, the Linux virtual memory manager is reasonably good.  It can handle the occasional page swap without grinding to a halt for five minutes solid.
20:42 erlehmann sfan5, leaves are not transparent on my computer, still it slows down noticeably when i look at them.
20:42 Krock shaders?
20:42 erlehmann jonadab, i have been saying for years linux makes for a better gaming system.
20:43 erlehmann i disabled shaders, of course
20:43 BurningPrincess1 Minetest runs well for me, even when I had some crappy cpu and 2 GB of RAM
20:44 erlehmann BurningPrincess1 hey are you me?
20:44 jonadab erlehmann:  Linux makes a great gaming system for open-source games.  Not so good for closed-source binary-only ones (this is in no way game-specific; binary-only software in general is terrible on Linux).
20:44 jonadab But yeah, I knew Minetest was open-source when I downloaded it, and I stupidly went, "Oh, it's a game, I should put it on the Ten laptop."  Dumb.
20:45 erlehmann jonadab, binary-only software in general is terrible on anything. signed, someone who got binary software from a vendor that sells very expensive devices and had to write some entirely new code to make it work as it should because the binary was buggy.
20:45 jonadab Fair enough.
20:46 erlehmann yeah took us some time
20:47 erlehmann jonadab, btw binary only software works well on linux, see dosbox and a lot of dos games.
20:49 jonadab Things old enough to be emulated easily on modern hardware are a special case.
20:49 erlehmann jonadab, not entirely, palette switching animations are shitty. see old xcom games.
