13:55 [MTMatrix] <Zughy> 👀
14:00 Krock that were long 10 minutes but let's do it anyway

18:26 [MTMatrix] <Zughy> hey staff, I've created an internal discussion for the new name. Please vote :D
18:44 Krock is there an option for "Minetest"?
18:44 * Krock runs
20:23 Mantar every name I've heard suggested sounds terrible to me
20:32 MTDiscord <exe_virus> More terrible than Minetest?
20:32 sfan5 Testmine
20:33 MTDiscord <luatic> this sounds vaguely lewd lol
20:33 MTDiscord <exe_virus> Mining is a piece of some games, sure. Testing sadly is very accurate 95% of the time though...   OldBlockyEngineTestThingy?
20:33 celeron55_ celeron55game
20:34 MTDiscord <exe_virus> Lol
20:34 MTDiscord <luatic> back when i wanted to write my own voxel game i wanted to call it "dig'n'build" lol
20:35 MTDiscord <exe_virus> I mean, if I were serious: it's a sandbox, you can be creative and share it with friends everywhere, for free (open source and all that).   OpenBlocks?
20:36 Mantar yeah, a test is a challenge after all, and MT with it's 32k depth has more in-depth (ha!) mining than other competing voxel games. Minetest sucks as a name, but I've heard a lot of really bad suggestions
20:37 MTDiscord <exe_virus> Or "Foundation", something that means the base engine or that effect. "bedrock" 😉
20:37 Mantar :D
20:39 MTDiscord <exe_virus> Random happy word: "Vibrant" Best acronym: Miae (Minetest is an Engine)
20:40 MTDiscord <josiah_wi> Meseworld
20:40 MTDiscord <josiah_wi> The thing is, that sounds a lot more like a name for a game than for an engine.
20:41 MTDiscord <josiah_wi> Chunkinator
20:41 Mantar Vibrant sounds okay if entirely generic and uninformative. But I prefer Emacsbrant personally
20:42 celeron55_ i read that as Embarrasment and thought that's perfect
20:42 Mantar whoo, new name chosen!
20:42 celeron55_ reverse psychology always works
20:42 MTDiscord <josiah_wi> Discord got away with its name.
20:42 Mantar and a lot more besides
20:42 MTDiscord <bastrabun> If you pronounce "mese" like "messy", then I'd be happy with that name.
20:42 MTDiscord <exe_virus> Embarrassment is too long
20:43 MTDiscord <exe_virus> Mese by itself ain't horrible.
20:43 Mantar So we name it Cringe
20:43 MTDiscord <exe_virus> Can it run Crisis? Can it run Cringe?
20:44 MTDiscord <bastrabun> Put "blockchain" and "AI" into the name, if you want investors
20:45 MTDiscord <exe_virus> I'd love for a VC to back a Minetest fork for a month to see what they'd try lol
20:50 sfan5 Mesechain AI
20:55 [MTMatrix] <Zughy> 2.0
20:55 Krock Mesechain AI 2.0 XT Super
20:55 [MTMatrix] <Zughy> LIMITED
20:56 Niklp *should be "Super+" ;-)

22:39 * mtvisitor need more cups of ice water. ;-)
22:39 mtvisitor 🧊
22:39 MTDiscord <warr1024> There are basically only two options for Minetest's name anyway: either "Minetest" or "whatever (formerly Minetest)".  Everytime I see a twitter/X link it makes me like any "formerly" option less...
23:05 Eragon joined #minetest-dev
23:27 celeron55_ @warr1024 it still is a temporary state though, even though it will last for years
23:28 MTDiscord <warr1024> If we end up renaming Minetest to something else, and then renaming it back, we'll have to call it "Minetest (formerly formerly Minetest)"
23:53 book` joined #minetest-dev
23:55 nekobit Would there be any interest or approval to create an ncurses mod/curl interface for servers?
23:56 nekobit and updater, etc
23:57 MTDiscord <wsor4035> to do what? minetest supports ncurses if it exists, and has the http interface for mods
23:57 nekobit You can't really update or download mods, change settings easily, through terminal (which is how i access my servers)
23:57 nekobit or change mod settings
23:58 MTDiscord <wsor4035> seems that much better done via git tbh
23:58 nekobit hm?
23:58 MTDiscord <warr1024> If I need to change settings at runtime, I'll use szutil_consocket and connect to the server console that way, but most settings I can't meaningfully change at runtime anyway.
23:58 nekobit oh, you mean like mirroring a repo from my own computer
23:58 nekobit If not, then i could just make a separate program to do these things (which is certainly possible). However, embedding it into the minetest command would be convenient
23:59 MTDiscord <warr1024> For updating mods, I wouldn't do that manually anyway.
23:59 MTDiscord <wsor4035> see for example https://github.com/BlockySurvival/bls_mods, https://github.com/pandorabox-io/pandorabox-mods, etc
23:59 nekobit for example, enable/disabling mods requires prodding the world.mt file, but its hard to tell how to enable all of the mods
23:59 nekobit for a modpack
23:59 MTDiscord <wsor4035> tbh, just use worldmods on the server
23:59 nekobit usually, i just open my own local minetest, enable a mod, then copy the world.mt
