14:57 BuckarooBanzai can somebody help me: i'm having a serious lag problem on my server. spikes 10s of seconds long at busy times. i nailed down the laggy function to a global timer but i can't find an issue with it: https://github.com/pandorabox-io/beacon/blob/02334b6458cbc1e201604b4741e81ac9d02395a5/effects.lua#L283

15:47 IhrFussel Is github stupid? It doesn't allow me to upload a .png file
15:47 rubenwardy To what?
15:47 IhrFussel It doesn't even list it under "supported files" but I downloaded it from Google Drive
15:49 IhrFussel I want to add a .png file as attachment
15:49 Fixer IhrFussel: open PNG in your image viewer/editor, CTRL+C, open your github message, add cursor, CTRL+V
15:51 IhrFussel Fixer, Doesn't work...drag&drop also doesn't work...
15:51 IhrFussel "We don't support that file type."
15:51 Fixer IhrFussel: do you have noscript installed?
15:52 Fixer IhrFussel:  make sure JS is enabled on github (except googlespyware)
15:52 IhrFussel Google Drive gave me the file without .png extension it seems
15:55 IhrFussel It works now after renaming and adding ".png"
16:02 IhrFussel Is 16px the default font size for Android?
16:06 IhrFussel Looks like it's 16 on every platform...at least on my phone 16 is wayy too big (as you can see in the screenshot here https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/7784#issuecomment-429910192)
16:38 * Fuchs prods ShadowBot with a piece of Toblerone
16:38 Fuchs err
16:38 * Fuchs prods Shara with a piece of Toblerone
17:04 GreenDimond joined #minetest-hub
17:06 Shara Fuchs: I just got home and now from a whole day of logs there is only one word in this channel I can make myself read.
17:06 Krock joined #minetest-hub
17:07 Fixer wat?
17:08 Shara Toblerone, Fixer. Only us poor fools in the UK can probably understand...
17:08 GreenDimond Toblerone is nice
17:08 Shara Yes, yes it is. Massively so. And they broke it here.
17:08 GreenDimond Oof :(
17:09 GreenDimond Well
17:09 GreenDimond How should I go about converting a palette index into a colorstring?
17:09 Shara I don't know, and even if I usually would (which I doubt), right now I can only think about chocolate.
17:10 GreenDimond lol
17:11 GreenDimond I am getting the node param2 and paramtype2, and was hoping minetset.strip_param2_color would return a colorstring, but it just returns the palette index
17:11 GreenDimond minetest*
17:19 Fixer_ joined #minetest-hub
18:03 Fuchs Shara: I'll bring you some :)  May I query?
18:04 Shara Of course you may :)
18:04 Fuchs or are you tired / busy? It's not urgent at all
18:04 Shara I'm good :)
18:06 rubenwardy Toblerones are good
18:06 rubenwardy Sad they're smaller now

18:25 Krock rubenwardy: regarding the open-source statement: Sure, in the common case Open Source means free/libre software. Although publishing the source does not directly mean that it's free (commercial, for example)
18:25 T4im rubenwardy: toblerones are still the normal size in europe :x
18:27 Krock T4im: question is whether also the amount of chocolate is still the same. Didn't check for years, though.
18:27 T4im afaik they mostly cut down the british version
18:28 T4im but who knows /o\
18:30 Shara Yes, was just the UK that suffered this, from what I know.
18:34 benrob0329 I've seen some recently, looks about the same here in the US
18:35 T4im https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5976571/Toblerone-bar-return-original-shape-public-outcry.html
18:36 T4im apparently after the press coverage they decided to go with price increase instead now :p
18:36 Shara Hmm, have not seen any like the old ones here though. (Maybe because they like to sell us old stock :P)
18:37 Shara Perhaps I need to go hunting again.
18:41 benrob0329 If there were any more ads or embedded videos and links, it'd cover the article completely
18:41 T4im no malware blocker installed in your browser?
18:41 Krock benrob0329: noscript & adblock plus do the trick
18:42 Krock T4im: didn't you mean "advert blocker" by any chance?
18:42 GreenDimond uBlock > ABP
18:42 T4im Krock: same thing
18:42 GreenDimond Very different
18:42 benrob0329 uBlock doesn't work very well on mobile
18:42 Fixer GreenDimond: uBlock Origin
18:42 * Fixer uses ad blocking for decades
18:42 GreenDimond oh, on mobile I wouldnt know :P
18:43 T4im i always refer to things like ublock as malware blocker, as they are the primary way to block advertisment network distributed malware
18:43 Krock T4im: malware damages your computer or the network - I don't think the embedded stuff on that website does that
18:43 T4im plus it makes it clear, that they are still a good idea to be used even if you are willing to look at ads
18:44 garywhite joined #minetest-hub
18:44 benrob0329 Krock: besides, some sites will just show a white page without JS
18:44 T4im Krock: those are content distribution networks; used by advertisments and malware alike
18:45 T4im Krock: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malvertising
18:45 Krock oh. you meant malware *advertising*
18:45 T4im i don't mean advertising malware, but spreading malware via advertisment
18:46 Krock all clear now. thanks for explaining :)
18:46 T4im thus malware blockers, because even if i understand the economical need to display ads on some sites, i will not accept displaying that stuff, because it puts my computer at risk
18:47 Fixer malwaretising is so cancerous
18:47 GreenDimond quick question; on_place how do I return a continue place?
18:47 benrob0329 >JS crypto miners
18:48 Krock benrob0329: indeed, they cannot exist without javascript sometimes. Glad that it's usually enough to allow scripts from the main website only
18:48 Krock GreenDimond: minetest.item_place
18:48 Krock i.e.  return minetest.item_place(func, args, here)
18:49 Krock maybe item_place_node when you don't want to pass param2
18:49 GreenDimond Ah, thankyou
18:49 Krock !next
18:49 MinetestBot Another satisfied customer. Next!
18:54 GreenDimond Is there a reason `placer` in on_place would return nil when I am 99% certain it should exist?
18:55 Shara The missing 1%?
18:55 GreenDimond ugh, clearly :|
18:55 Shara :P
18:55 GreenDimond I have a `if not placer or not placer:is_player() then return end` at the beginning of my on_place function.. and it always returns
18:56 Shara What are you getting placer from?
18:57 GreenDimond `on_place = function(itemstack, placer, pointed_thing)`
18:58 Krock so is it nil or is it not a player?
18:58 GreenDimond It's nil
18:59 Krock print(debug.traceback())
18:59 Krock maybe the on_place call already went through another function
18:59 Krock instead of being directly called from C++
19:00 Krock not sure if it requires a mod security exception
19:00 GreenDimond wat
19:00 GreenDimond Why would..
19:00 T4im do you have some code to look at?
19:00 GreenDimond what
19:01 GreenDimond oh
19:01 T4im using debug might need mod_security
19:01 GreenDimond derp yeah I get it now
19:01 Krock unfortunate sentence wording from my side
19:03 T4im how do you place the item?
19:04 GreenDimond the normal way
19:04 GreenDimond me (the player) placing the block
19:04 T4im :/
19:04 GreenDimond So somehow my if statement after the placer check runs first
19:05 GreenDimond which doesnt make any sense
19:06 GreenDimond or
19:06 GreenDimond what
19:07 GreenDimond I dont even know. If I uncomment my if statement, it gets a nil placer before getting to the statement. placer is fed through fine if statement commented.
19:13 longerstaff13 o/ GreenDimond
19:18 GreenDimond Hello longerstaff13 :)
19:18 GreenDimond So I switched to using on_rightclick, it suited my needs better anyway.. still no idea why on_place wasnt working though
19:19 garywhite hello all
19:24 benrob0329 Hello

20:12 shivajiva ERROR[CurlFetch]: servers.minetest.net/announce not found (Couldn't resolve host name) (response code 0)
20:14 sfan5 I can reproduce what you're seeing but I don't know why this is happening
20:15 shivajiva just checking you was aware :)
20:16 sfan5 hm, resolving normally does work but dig doesn't seen to want go any further than the CNAME
20:17 sfan5 that seems to be a feature
20:17 sfan5 correction: I can't reproduce your issue
20:17 shivajiva I'll try a restart
20:23 shivajiva well that's odd, mt server restart and error still reported. VPS restart same same
20:24 sfan5 what's your dns server?
20:27 T4im try "dig servers.minetest.net" vs "dig @orsn-ns01.first-colo.de servers.minetest.net" on the vps
20:29 shivajiva ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 40351
20:30 T4im NOERRROR for both?
20:30 shivajiva yep
20:32 T4im any chance the firewall is blocking the access for the user running minetest?
20:33 shivajiva everything has worked on this setup for years, ~2 hrs ago this started happening in the log
20:34 T4im is minetest running in a container?
20:35 shivajiva it's started with a shell script in a vanilla ubuntu server, nothing special
20:37 shivajiva the server will run and you can connect without issue, it simply can't contact servers.minetest.net to announce itself
20:38 T4im yea, it's just odd if it sais it can't resolve, while you can resolve manually yourself without problems
20:38 T4im did you compile anew recently? system updates?
20:39 shivajiva nope, as I said this was working until ~2 hrs ago, nothing has changed
