13:10 celeron55 kind of interesting
13:30 pgimeno thanks for the heads-up
13:39 celeron55 doesn't seem like a good sign for github's longevity as a trusted platform, but we'll see
14:03 kilbith joined #minetest-dev
14:03 nrz we said that 5 years ago when microsoft bought it, and we are always on it
14:07 Noisytoot joined #minetest-dev
14:11 MTDiscord <ROllerozxa> how is github being proactive with their security if keys get accidentally made public a bad sign for github's longevity as a trusted platform?
14:16 celeron55 i'm currently expecting github will become irrelevant to active open source projects in about 2030...2035
14:31 MTDiscord <Jonathon> can we expect the forum to become irrelevant faster due to low maintenance and terrible performance?
14:32 sfan5 whats wrong with the performance
14:33 MTDiscord <Jonathon> it takes forever to load anything, more so when you trying to load more than one page.
14:35 MTDiscord <Jonathon> at least barely working is better than when it use to 50* code fairly regularly a while back 🤷
14:35 celeron55 as long as you're staying on the loaded page at least a few seconds the next will load fast. the rate limit is set to the sweet spot where crawlers don't ruin performance for everyone
14:36 celeron55 i browse the forum personally too, at least every week. i know how it performs
14:37 MTDiscord <kimapr> what do you mean forums are super fast
14:39 MTDiscord <Jonathon> sometimes a single page will load fast, but any time you try to open up multiple tabs to read through all the new posts, it slows way down. also when it has more viewers it slows down
14:39 celeron55 and, if that was a serious question: i don't think the current performance has a large effect on the forum becoming irrelevant. it can have a small effect, but simply forums becoming more and more outdated as a medium has a bigger effect
14:40 rubenwardy I've seen quite a few people say that the forums being so slow is why they stopped using them
14:40 celeron55 at that time the forum was _actually_ slow
14:41 MTDiscord <Jonathon> concur with ruben
14:41 pgimeno turns out the cert change in github didn't impact me in any way after all
14:41 celeron55 besides... free filtering by attention span. what's not to enjoy
14:42 celeron55 i'm not saying i'm not planning to do anything but i'm saying the moaning is greatly exaggerated at the moment
14:46 MTDiscord <Jonathon> its not really filtering by attention span, additionally, according to you its greatly exaggerated, but if people are actually stopping using it due to performance, should speak volumes
14:48 MTDiscord <Jonathon> to elaborate on not filtering by attention span, loading pages, then reading through doesnt fit supposed "staying on the loaded page at least a few seconds the next will load fast"
14:52 celeron55 what load times are you getting in practice?
14:52 celeron55 if you now click a navigation link on the forum after a few seconds
14:54 celeron55 looking at the mariadb load graph it looks like for the entirety of a week about a week ago there looks to have been some sort of crawling happening
14:54 celeron55 this is the main problem
14:55 celeron55 with the current set-up, that is. it works fine usually, but any unusual crawling activity gets it down to unreasonably bad performance
14:56 celeron55 and that is exactly why i need better hardware and that's why i'm planning to get just that
14:56 celeron55 ...now, if only i had infinite time and no life and no other projects
14:57 MTDiscord <Jonathon> load the forum main page, few seconds. testing worst case of multiple pages, so opening general/feature/mods/games takes 17s with cache busted
14:57 MTDiscord <Jonathon> curious what the php timeout is set to?
14:59 celeron55 well, opening 4 tabs at the same time is not fair for this potato of a server
15:04 MTDiscord <Jonathon> 2023, using more than one tab should be banned (sarcasm)
15:06 MTDiscord <Jonathon> outside of just catching up, there is the usecase of <insert search engine choice> opening multiple forum pages when looking at forks of a mod/answers on how to do something with minetest
15:12 celeron55 i mean i really don't care how many tabs you or anyone else opens. it's just that there's a reality to the current situation
15:12 celeron55 and yes i need to solve it
15:12 celeron55 it's really just that i still have web admin stuff
15:12 celeron55 hate*
15:12 celeron55 lol
15:13 Kimapr just closed 50 tabs
15:16 celeron55 and, delegating the handling of these servers with their important data to someone else has always had either a suboptimal or a really bad end result. the first time, after i was hosting punbb and then handed hosting to the someone-else, a few years after it came back to me as phpbb. the next time the data ended up with don't-say-who and that's how he still hosts old versions of the official data
15:17 celeron55 under .org
15:17 celeron55 i don't even want to know what happens the next time i hand the forum data to someone

15:52 lhofhansl Hey.. Quick reminder for #13314 Quite helpful for tuning the network/queuing settings for large view ranges.
15:52 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/13314 -- Add some instrumentation by lhofhansl
15:53 lhofhansl Also #13277 . Without it large viewing ranges are fairly useless as the blocks will take forever to sent to the client.
15:53 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/13277 -- Restart map-send cycle if visible blocks are soon to be unloaded. by lhofhansl
15:54 lhofhansl I had that one on for the past three weeks.
16:25 Jon[m]1 I was curious if anyone has been utilizing gpt for minetest code, figured to ask you folks
16:25 Jon[m]1 I asked gpt if it's minetest Lua context aware and had a field day with it
16:26 rubenwardy modding discussion should go in #minetest but: https://blog.rubenwardy.com/2022/06/22/gpt-3-minetest-modding/
16:43 Desour joined #minetest-dev
17:01 nrz interesting blog article, that can help modding, but yeah some drawbacks of code quality
17:05 nrz shit, just got a mail from google play that we are using unauthorized copyrighted content in the app
17:05 nrz it has been suspended
17:05 nrz DCMA
17:05 rubenwardy ffs
17:06 rubenwardy nrz, staff channel
17:06 nrz which staff channel ? i think i'm not in it
17:06 MTDiscord <ROllerozxa> oh dear
17:06 nrz (i may have miss the info, and my matterbridge is not bound on it)
17:06 rubenwardy check your PMs
17:07 nrz on IRC you mean ?
17:07 rubenwardy yes
17:07 Noisytoot joined #minetest-dev
17:07 nrz grml i will miss it, the bridge is not creating PM data on my discord 😄
17:07 nrz on MT discord there is bridge with irc staff channel ?
17:07 rubenwardy no ofc not
17:08 MTDiscord <Benrob> You're just going to have to get on IRC the old fashioned way
17:08 nrz Lindsey Oregon from AppDetext and they represent Mojang
17:08 nrz ...
17:09 nrz i should gather children, i look how to add staff channel on the bridge when i come back
17:15 rubenwardy hey, maybe we should discuss how to deal with it internally before revealing partial information publicly and causing unnecessary speculation
17:17 sfan5 free speculation: we accidentally shipped mineclone in the apk and this caused it
17:17 sfan5 am i doing this right
17:18 rubenwardy also, to the community: do not contact appdetex or the mentioned person, you're likely to make things worse
17:19 nrz This Is not spéculation on my side. I just read you the dcma
17:20 nrz And this company Is just a patent one
17:21 Desour sfan5: no, you're not using enough panic. more something like: THIS IS THE END! AI has found us. minetest will cease to exist
17:22 nrz Haha
