11:56 BuckarooBanzai   Hi all, is there anything i can configure/tune to get rid of the digged blocks appearing and placed blocks disappeareing for a short moment or is that a RTT/Latency thing?
12:03 clavi            BuckarooBanzai: I think that's due to a slow and/or high-latency server
12:03 clavi            I've seen it on servers in the US (I'm in europe)
12:04 * BuckarooBanzai needs test that on some foreign servers...
12:04 BuckarooBanzai   *to
12:11 clavi            if you're running your server with PostgreSQL, you might want to check out this little test I did:
12:11 clavi            https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=22695
12:12 Krock            OwO
12:12 clavi            heh
12:12 Krock            nice chart
12:15 clavi            related https://github.com/facebook/zstd/issues/466
12:15 clavi            lower zstd levels can really have better results than higher ones with specific type of data
12:15 BuckarooBanzai   clavi: thx but i do my backups with LVM-snapshots :)
12:15 clavi            apparently, a MT map in postgres is one of these cases
12:19 clavi            BuckarooBanzai: what backend are you using?
12:25 BuckarooBanzai   clavi: postgres
12:27 BuckarooBanzai   anyhow: i don't compress the backups, i don't have a storage-shortage because i'm transferring them offsite while backuping...
16:17 IhrFussel        Realtalk: I find it kinda shitty of the Multicraft devs to first use OUR servers for their ad-infested version of MT and now create their own servers just to evade the upgrade to version 5.X (in case those servers are official)
16:47 IhrFussel        Also: Could I probably simulate a bolder HUD text by simply printing it twice but 1 time with a slight offset?
17:19 IhrFussel        It looks okay with exactly 1px offset in x and y
17:31 Krock            there should be an option in freetype to render it
17:33 Calinou          you need a second font for that, and we don't have multiple font support in Minetest (other than supporting a main font and a mono font for the console)
17:33 Calinou          and yeah, the bold workaround is good enough at small sizes
17:33 Calinou          (or for some pixel fonts)
17:43 tumeninodes      rubenwardy, I have yet again forgotten how to update a mod on contentDB :/
17:44 tumeninodes      hold on, I think I remember now
17:48 tumeninodes      nope. Where do I update the mod on contentDB? it still shows a May 2018 build, and there is a newer one from November 2018. There used to be a line to add the latest commit version, now I do not see it?
17:51 tumeninodes      found it... there should be a far easier way to point to doing an update
17:53 IhrFussel        if key_meta:get_string("secret") == "" then
17:53 IhrFussel        >> key_meta:set_string("secret", minetest.parse_json(itemstack:get_metadata()).secret)
17:53 IhrFussel        << itemstack:set_metadata("") end 2nd line crashed my server...known bug in 0.4.17.1?
17:54 IhrFussel        It says attempt to index nil value... what's nil there? itemstack:get_metadata()).secret?
17:56 Krock            you know that itemstack:get_metadata()  is translated to  itemstack.get_metadata(itemstack)?
17:56 Krock            itemstack is nil
17:56 Krock            that, or I'll need the full code snippet
17:57 Krock            hint: *et_metadata() should no longer be used
17:57 Krock            consider *_et_string("" ,..)
17:58 IhrFussel        https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/blob/stable-0.4/mods/default/nodes.lua#L1913
17:59 rubenwardy       parse_json reutnred null
17:59 Krock            empty or invalid itemstack metadata
17:59 Krock            s/null/nil
17:59 IhrFussel        one-liner to fix?
18:00 Krock            if key_meta:get_string("secret") == "" and itemstack:get_metadata() ~= "" thne
18:00 Krock            *then
18:38 Krock            will merge https://github.com/minetest-mods/technic/pull/498 https://github.com/minetest-mods/nightandday/pull/1  https://github.com/minetest-mods/quartz/pull/11 and https://github.com/minetest-mods/xdecor/pull/106 in 10 minutes
18:48 Krock            merging..
18:50 Krock            gone
18:51 Krock            or done. whatever. Too bad some PR authors are already gone
19:30 tumeninodes      how long does it take for a mod update to be approved on contentDB? Just wondering
19:47 Krock            depending on how often you ping rubenwardy
19:47 Krock            intended ping btw
19:48 tumeninodes      haha, I wasn't sure if he had a notifications system set up for it
19:48 Krock            dunno where to find a list of "moderators", which could do the same
19:48 Krock            he for sure has one in case the service is no longer reachable
19:48 tumeninodes      I think it is only he and Shara, not sure though
19:49 Krock            > contentdb feature request: show list of moderators
19:50 tumeninodes      two thumbs up
20:31 rubenwardy       When you're logged in, go to /usersl

20:32 rubenwardy       It's me, sofa, Shara, and GreenDimond
20:37 tumeninodes      wow, Im not even a trusted member... huh
20:43 tumeninodes      How does one gain that rank?
20:43 Krock            manual verification, maybe?
20:48 tumeninodes      Don't know. I would have thought Id have met the qualifications by now... oh well
23:13 rubenwardy       Krock: https://content.minetest.net/users/
23:13 rubenwardy       this is now public
23:22 rubenwardy       what do people think about removing all feature requests from Github, especially the non-technical ones, and using another website to track feature requests?
23:22 rubenwardy       one which would allow voting and such
23:22 rubenwardy       this could make issues much easier to manage
23:23 rubenwardy       technical discussion should remain on github, so a core dev could opt to open a technical issue for it on the tracker
23:23 rubenwardy       idk
23:23 rubenwardy       I wonder how many of the issues are actually features
23:23 rubenwardy       would be good if GH could just do this for us
