00:09 paramat afaik it's ok for water because that is a different Irrlicht 'material' or something ..
00:09 paramat still buggy for water though in some situations

01:28 Tmanyo joined #minetest-hub
01:29 rdococ (disclaimer: source has unknown reliability)
01:30 ANAND Bitter-sweet rivalry :)
01:31 rdococ I also found this: https://savannah.nongnu.org/
01:31 rdococ Also, https://github.com/upend/IF_MS_BUYS_GITHUB_IMMA_OUT exploded in popularity
01:33 rdococ https://git.scuttlebot.io/ appears to be a decentralized github alternative, unsure though
01:40 rdococ This seems of interest: https://peers.community/
02:00 Jordach lmaoooooo
02:00 Jordach satya's microsoft != ballmer's microsoft
02:02 benrob0329 rdococ: you do realize that scuttlebutt doesn't support multiple devices, right?
02:02 benrob0329 and if you loose your profile you're done
02:02 rdococ again, unsure
02:02 EvergreenTree joined #minetest-hub
02:02 benrob0329 I'd just self-host Git if I was that worried
02:02 rdococ Jordach: We have no idea what satya will do, I wasn't even aware of a change in CEO
02:03 Jordach rdococ: satya loves the cloud and open source
02:03 Jordach it's why microsoft has gone azure instead of windows focused under ballmer
02:03 Jordach hell, ms' build tools are crazy these days
02:04 rdococ Jordach: windows 10 makes me skeptical
02:04 rdococ well, it's not just that ofc
02:04 Jordach rdococ: when in rome, do as the googlers do
02:04 rdococ I don't use google but okay
02:04 Jordach you still get the idea
02:04 rdococ "Satya is the Sanskrit word for truth."
02:08 Jordach rdococ: yet Windows Subsystem for Linux
02:09 Jordach you can run Ubuntu or Red Hat inside windows natively, and have instant bash
02:10 rdococ I need a more up to date source of news, lol
02:10 Jordach less phoronix then
02:10 Jordach :^)
02:12 rdococ I checked, nadella was CEO when MS acquired YKW
02:12 rdococ it was his first major acquisition as CEO too
02:12 rdococ I wonder if he'll eventually release it as OSS

12:51 nerzhul nice, you can make money if you make bread on trees :D
12:51 nerzhul what is that ?
12:52 Krock that's stapled bread .. on a tree. nothing special
12:54 nerzhul it's a new core engine feature, a bug or a mod ?
12:58 Krock a new core feature of course. 0.6.0-dev only. lol, no. it's just a fun mod

14:19 cx384 joined #minetest-hub
14:32 cx384 I just noticed Microsoft acquired GitHub. :'(
14:36 rdococ <Microsoft> Yay, I can see your private repos!
15:05 Fixer HOOOOLD ONNNN TOOO IITTT #vaporwave #github
15:51 BillyS Is there some way to make node metadata be preserved even when the node is broken?
15:52 rdococ swap_node?
15:52 BillyS Ah, the "preserve_metadata" callbakc is what I'm looking for
15:52 BillyS *callback
15:59 * rdococ calls BillyS back
16:02 BillyS yay
16:02 * BillyS says yay and bounces off again
16:02 * rdococ yays, turning BillyS into a yay
16:03 * BillyS fiddles with os.date
16:03 * rdococ glitches lua and accidentally acquires it
16:06 BillyS rdococ, what does get_meta return on failure?
16:07 BillyS nil, I suppose
16:07 * rdococ gives BillyS the holy book of lua_api.txt
16:08 BillyS heh
16:08 rdococ "And c55 said, "let there be nodes.""
16:08 Krock BillyS, which meta? player or node?
16:09 Krock or itemstack?
16:10 BillyS I got confused
16:10 BillyS Krock: I was actaully taking about meta:get_string()
16:10 Krock the player meta returns nil. itemstack will throw an error (either Lua or segfault). and the node meta always returns something
16:11 Krock ah. yes, string returns empty string.
16:11 BillyS I thought so. thx.
16:13 BillyS Hmm . . does the "preserve_metadata" callback only work on later versions of minetest?
16:13 Krock check git blame
16:14 Krock #6604  Dec 2017
16:14 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/6604 -- Preserve node metadata as item metadata. by ashtrayoz
16:14 BillyS So, thats a yes. (I think(
16:14 BillyS *)
16:14 BillyS rats,
16:15 Krock that a yesn't because it's already contained in Minetest 0.5.0-dev
16:15 BillyS Hmm
16:15 rdococ yesn't is another word for no
16:15 Krock consider bookmarking the stable-0.4 version of the lua_api.txt file when you're targetting on 0.4.x compat
16:16 rdococ it's basically "not yes"
16:16 BillyS That's . . . problomatic
16:16 Krock rdococ, yes.
16:16 BillyS I'm trying to make a node which preserves its infotext
16:16 BillyS But apparently that it's possible (yet)
16:17 BillyS Not without some "hacks"
16:18 * rdococ hacks the yay, and yays
16:19 BillyS Maybe I could do some horrific thing involving player metadata
16:19 Krock BillyS, you can still adapt that 0.5.0-dev change into your mod by changing the core.node_dig() function
16:20 BillyS Erm, how do I do that? xD
16:21 rdococ a "0.5.0 hax" mod for 0.4.17 to incorporate some 0.5.0-dev features very hackily
16:21 rdococ would be cool... I think
16:22 Krock rdococ, would be awful to maintain .... I think
16:22 BillyS Well, the server is being hosted by DI3, but I'm not sure what MT version he uses
16:23 BillyS Ah, I found the core.node_dig function

16:45 RichardTheTurd joined #minetest-hub
17:21 rdococ I'm kinda sad that the minetest repo wasn't moved to notabug.org...
17:26 xerox123 I'll believe the need to change when something breaks with github, until then it's pointless imo
17:27 BillyS ^
17:27 BillyS Minetest is open-source anyways, so who cares if Megastupid gets it?
17:28 rdococ Microsoft does have a large incentive not to fuck up GitHub (otherwise even more people will flee from it, resulting in hopefully less profit)
17:33 rdococ also, people aren't just leaving due to Microsoft...

17:48 aerozoic joined #minetest-hub
18:29 rdococ I remember my idea of an ingame cryptocurrency
18:35 Krock joined #minetest-hub
18:49 Fixer lol, $5
18:49 shivajiva github lost $66 million last quarter and has never turned a profit, this is about pr and what it brings to azure afaik
18:49 Fixer shivajiva: source?
18:50 Fixer shivajiva: their finstatements are closed from public
18:50 shivajiva all businesses have to file, let me see if I can find the source article
18:54 shivajiva https://thenextweb.com/dd/2018/06/04/what-github-and-microsoft-have-to-gain-from-the-acquisition/
18:54 shivajiva seems I'm mistaken it was the first 9 months of 2016 they lost $66 million
18:55 shivajiva but I don't believe they have turned a dime of profit since then
18:56 Fixer shivajiva: seems like they are private entity that do not disclose that info, 66 million was a leak, there is only speculations about their revenues/profits
18:57 shivajiva as with all businesses a small fee will get you the filed accounts
18:58 shivajiva duty of care means investors need to see how the business is performing
19:02 Fixer " privately held companies are not generally required to publish their financial statements" (for US according to wikipedia)
19:11 shivajiva yea, I can't see a way to acquire their tax returns either so only leaked info as the source as you pointed out
19:13 shivajiva Fixer: do you believe they have turned a profit?
19:13 Fixer no idea
19:14 Fixer i have not researched it, i will let someone do it :}
19:15 Fixer shivajiva: MS probably needs to disclose the figures, but not sure if github will be listed as separate department
19:18 shivajiva Fixer: depends how they are required to list losses lmao
19:19 Fixer i mean their yearly statements
19:19 Fixer or quarterly
19:19 shivajiva I know, I was being facetious ;)
19:20 longerstaff13 o/
19:20 shivajiva Hi longer
19:20 longerstaff13 Ello shiva, long time no speak
19:20 rdococ Helloyays.
19:21 longerstaff13 Hi rdococ
19:21 shivajiva you never write, you never call... :D
19:57 rubenwardy why doesn't gitlab allow you to only import repos on your own repo
19:57 rubenwardy rather than all that you have write to
19:57 rubenwardy this is silly
19:58 entuland joined #minetest-hub
19:58 rdococ rubenwardyay
19:59 rubenwardy :PO
19:59 rubenwardy clicked all of them individually
19:59 rubenwardy it also doesn't sync the public/private status
20:00 rdococ hm, it'd be fun to have a procedurally generated game
20:12 Fixer rdococ: roguelike minetest game
20:12 Fixer but without some attributes, like step-like moves
20:12 rdococ I'm working on a simple specification for procedural ore *type* generation
20:12 rdococ some ores would make good swords, some good pickaxes
20:12 Fixer sigh
20:14 RichardTheTurd joined #minetest-hub
20:14 Fixer it is like someone waits to force me to learn that lua that I don't want to learn and make that builder friendly wands mod
20:14 Fixer with visualisation via entities
20:15 rubenwardy L E A R N   I T
20:15 rdococ I think I have a memory problem
20:16 rdococ I'd do more lua but my keyboard is partially broken so I have to keep some letters (n and b) in the clipboard to type well
20:16 Fixer don't get me wrong, programming can be fun, but ones I do smth I then... never finish apart from writing a test function in python
20:17 DI3HARD139 joined #minetest-hub
20:17 Fixer i can reuse some code though, to move faster
20:17 Fixer 1) chunk visualisator 2) builder wands (replacer wands too)
20:18 Fixer maybe some year
20:19 Fixer good thing people finally started to code some AE-like mods
20:19 Fixer minetest handling of storage is not horrible, it is very horrible
20:19 rdococ AE>
20:19 rdococ ?
20:21 RichardTheTurd joined #minetest-hub
20:21 rdococ I'd like some form of procedurally generated technology where, rather than set progression stages such as circuitry, each world would have its own research tree
20:22 Fixer applied energistics
20:22 Fixer stuff like hard discs, terminals, crafting gruids, pipes, moving items
20:22 Fixer very good stuff
20:22 rdococ rubenwardy: you need a stone cutter to make a stone cutter, how will that work out in capitalism_game?
20:22 Fixer accessing blocks
20:22 rubenwardy \o/
20:23 rubenwardy undecided
20:23 rdococ to be honest I like the idea of a game element you start with one of, and must replicate to get more
20:24 rdococ maybe there should be a tedious, slow way to get a stone cutter that doesn't need one, then you can use it to speed up the process
20:24 rdococ not too tedious, though. actually I really like this idea of "slow way to get something first, then you can speed it up (and eventually automate it)"
20:28 rubenwardy my idea is they would buy them from shops
20:28 rubenwardy but maybe is should be possible but very expensive to make it another way
20:31 rdococ stock_market mod :P
20:39 Ruslan1 joined #minetest-hub
20:50 rubenwardy argh
20:50 rubenwardy need some fancy issue tracker for contentdb
20:50 rubenwardy automatically makes issues on an error, links multiple instances of the same error together
20:50 rubenwardy similar to crashlytics
21:01 IhrFussel What happens when I set those 2 settings different? Like active_block_range = 1 active_object_send_range_blocks = 2
21:04 rubenwardy The MTBI will knock down your door
21:07 rdococ ā
21:08 IhrFussel I mean will the first/second overwrite the other one?
21:21 rdococ I want to create something like a "totem of undying", but if I use a hp change modifier to do it then it might get a non-final modifier and thinks you're going to die when you don't
21:22 rdococ and if I use a normal callback the death screen pops up before it can intervene
21:30 aerozoic O_O M$ is acquiring github?
21:31 * aerozoic starts looking for a new git host
21:31 rubenwardy gitlab.com seems to be a good choice
21:31 rdococ there's gitlab... there's also notabug
21:31 rubenwardy expect that it's by a company
21:31 rubenwardy instead there's notabug.org
21:31 rubenwardy it's ran by some foss advercates
21:31 rubenwardy *advocates
21:31 rubenwardy I don't really trust them with my code though, I'd rather self host
21:33 nerzhul yeah gogs is nice for selfhost only currently, not for a big and serious project, like MT
21:33 nerzhul if debian and gnome choose gitlab CE it's not without good reason and study
21:33 nerzhul and we already have build pipelines for MT on gitlab :)
21:35 rubenwardy gitlab is better than I remembered
21:35 rubenwardy guess that's development for you
21:36 nerzhul gitlab release a version per month
21:36 nerzhul whereas GH releases when they want and it's generally 1 per 3 months
21:36 nerzhul gitlab changelog is clear , GH is just dicsover it by yourself
21:36 nerzhul they added a issue template menu on GH, but i never see a communication about this
21:36 * rubenwardy just used try/finally for the first time
21:36 rubenwardy feel like I'm doing something wrong
21:37 nerzhul see that: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/new/choose
21:37 nerzhul they never communicate about this user menu
21:37 nerzhul (which use the .github in the repo
21:52 tumeninodes joined #minetest-hub
21:53 tumeninodes strange thing I notice after upgrade to 0.4.17, inner and outer stairs are not in the inv or in the code but, the models are in the models folder. did I miss something? they were merged quite a while ago
21:59 tumeninodes or, are they only going in for 0.5.0? I'm a bit confused here

22:46 paramat in the MTG backports branch the stairs mod only has the 'stair' model,  no others
22:46 paramat tumeninodes
22:47 paramat in 0.5dev the models have been removed, we now use nodeboxes instead for all
22:47 paramat maybe a mistake in the build you use?
22:57 tumeninodes hmmm IDK, I updated to 0.4.17 and there are no inner or outer at all in inventory or the code but, the models are in the models folder. on my 0.5.0 build in another directory the inner and outer stairs are there
23:01 paramat but where did you get your 0.4.17 from? the code in the repo differs from what you have
23:02 tumeninodes i just updated via linux mint repo
23:06 tumeninodes strange the obsidian glass pane does not seem to be in this build either. this is quite odd
23:06 tumeninodes seems some things in the update to the repo may have gotten messed up somehow
23:08 tumeninodes yep, no obsidian xpanes, yet the texture for obsidian edge is there, but no others we worked on
23:08 tumeninodes and obsidian glass pane does not exist in code or inv
23:11 tumeninodes ... and the desert cobble is back to the orig pink morter colour. haha... wtf?
23:12 tumeninodes sum-ting-wong
23:33 * benrob0329 does not trust MS still, but feels a knee-jerk move would be a bad idea
23:33 benrob0329 its also funny seeing all the Memes on Masto about this
23:34 * rdococ runs from MS screaming
23:34 tumeninodes just set youself up with a backup plan that's all. and continue to use github unless some drastic changes make that a non-option
23:34 paramat mint repo probably has 0.4.16 stable or earlier
23:34 benrob0329 I moved most of my stuff (the little I have) to Gitlab anyways a while ago
23:35 benrob0329 found them to be a better platform, but I'd probably self-host in the future
23:35 rubenwardy CDB no longer treats github specially (except OAuth2)   -   any git repo will allow importing of meta, screenshots, and releases now
23:36 rubenwardy there's also a [Create] link on topics on your profile page, allowing you to easily add packages from forum topics
23:36 * benrob0329 "oh dang"s KDE's update menu in the systray, it doesn't require any extra app to open (On OpenSUSE anyways)
23:38 tumeninodes when did you switch to OpenSuse?? eeeeek
23:40 benrob0329 Because it seems the least broken (not lacking packages)
23:40 tumeninodes :/
23:41 benrob0329 I mean, Kubuntu ships Akregator that segmentation faults on starup
23:41 benrob0329 and Debian is just old enough to lack features I need in stuff, while Testing is just new enough to break CUDA
23:41 benrob0329 'SUSE seems like a nice mix, currently running tumbleweed
23:42 tumeninodes it does seem some of the spins of main distros have been lacking/slacking as of late
