14:54 est "so if you want to get money to a organisation that does good, give it to the eff. the fsf is full of crazy biggered people"
14:54 est he said a organisation, not an
14:57 technomancy he's not a native english speaker
14:58 technomancy he's pretty notorious anyway for ad-homenims at people he disagrees with; in this case they got off pretty lightly
14:58 technomancy compared to his typical verbal abuse
14:58 * Krock thinks about porting the english language.. an abstract idea
14:59 est english is already ported to alot of media
14:59 technomancy finnish is actually a pretty logical language, so it's understandable that he doesn't have time for all the nonsense of english
14:59 est thanks to abstraction layers like unicode or ascii
14:59 est you can treat it as simple bits and bytes
14:59 est and of course, thanks to writing systems
14:59 technomancy english is the C++ of human languages.
15:00 Krock thanks ASCII for 13375P34K

15:55 Calinou the picture I sent you is a scan of a 1996 magazine
15:55 technomancy I think my mod is basically ready https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=12705
15:56 xenkey How do I use remote media again?
15:57 technomancy anyone up for some crazy in-game programming?
15:57 jin_xi fork bombs?
15:58 technomancy if you like =)
15:58 technomancy I haven't implemented pre-empting yet, but it's on my list
15:59 jin_xi your mod looks neat in any case
15:59 technomancy jin_xi: thanks =)
15:59 technomancy jin_xi: do I recognize your name from the turtle mod?
16:00 * jin_xi hangs head in shame
16:00 xenkey http://www.bitx.pw/ is this right?
16:00 jin_xi yes i did some turtle mod, but there are others and much better around. nore did one i believe
16:00 technomancy jin_xi: I keep kicking myself for not having tried it out yet. I am a huge fan of logo; seymour papert is a hero of mine. =)
16:00 jin_xi its not logo tho
16:00 technomancy well
16:01 technomancy "logo" is kind of a broad term, bigger than just the language.
16:01 jin_xi uses weird forth to skip l-systems in treegen originally
16:01 technomancy it has more to do with exploring computational geometry through exploratory programming, which can take many forms
16:01 xenkey Right
16:02 xenkey I have a big decision to make
16:02 jin_xi but i have given up on that and later versions used lua to generate turtle programs...
16:02 xenkey I might host a server for the first time with mesecons added
16:02 technomancy I am also a forth fan; I built a keyboard that runs forth on its internal microcontroller, but I think in this case sticking with lua makes sense =)
16:03 jin_xi i found lua quite sucky to do a little DSL
16:03 jin_xi too much syntax
16:03 technomancy jin_xi: even with setfenv?
16:03 jin_xi oh well, its probably not lua but my lacking skills then... :)
16:04 technomancy I mean, with setfenv you can say "run this code, but run it in the context where the things in this table are available as globals"
16:04 jin_xi can't say i tried to hard, but a single simple macro could have done it
16:04 technomancy so you can have easy access to turtly things in scripts without polluting globals for all mods running
16:04 jin_xi yes that sounds useful i was looking to use it to do something alike js with statement
16:04 xenkey technomancy: is that ingame programming offer still open?
16:05 * technomancy nods
16:05 xenkey Where do I sign?
16:05 technomancy xenkey: are you running a public server?
16:05 jin_xi but i just dont want to type it all out. Along comes the security patch... and then i stopped caring
16:05 xenkey technomancy: I sure am
16:05 technomancy xenkey: this is really unsuitable for that unfortunately
16:05 xenkey I have zero players
16:05 xenkey i think we can give it a shot
16:06 technomancy xenkey: at this stage I haven't added any security in beyond basic sandboxing; it is trivially easy to bring down the game with a malicious script and possibly even possible to steal admin privs
16:06 xenkey right
16:06 technomancy but if you want to live on the wild side: https://github.com/technomancy/calandria/blob/master/Readme.md
16:07 xenkey_ joined #minetest
16:07 xenkey_ hm
16:07 xenkey_ you could make an OVH api and connect the placed node to a live server
16:08 xenkey_ Now that would be crazy
16:08 technomancy you could probably prevent stealing admin privs by commenting out line 63 of server.lua since the chat command stuff is pretty half-baked, undocumented, and lightly tested anyway
16:08 xenkey_ What about integrating this with docker
16:08 technomancy so then you'd just be worrying about DOS and allowing anyone to log into any server as any user
16:09 xenkey_ should i add mesecons to my server?
16:09 technomancy xenkey_: not the craziest idea. but I think adding security wouldn't be all that difficult; I just haven't gotten around to it yet
16:09 technomancy yessss mesecons is awesome
16:09 xenkey_ but it's so
16:09 xenkey_ big
16:09 xenkey_ is there a smaller version?
16:09 xenkey_ Last time I put it on a live server I spend hours slimming down the textures and code
16:10 technomancy I've only ever played on LAN

19:58 sloantothebone Hello
20:00 sloantothebone How do you specify things to be done client-side in lua?
20:01 Calinou you can't currently.
20:01 Sokomine er, in general you don't? mods run on the server. part of the menu system is also lua...that you can change locally. but i don't know if that's what you want (rather unlikely)
20:01 xenkey https://sr.ht/3d55.txt The time doesn't seem to be shown
20:02 xenkey https://sr.ht/aec3.png layout is like so
20:02 sloantothebone Well they should implement client side stuff. Then you could make boats less laggy and whatnot
20:02 Calinou they...
20:02 Calinou spooky they...
20:02 Sokomine probably. in general, boats work quite well
20:03 xenkey Anyone want to do some digiline with me?
20:03 Sokomine if you just want to get from a to b, a teleportation mod might be the best choice. else...some funny, slightly buggy handling is not so bad
20:03 Sokomine xenkey: sorry, never did much there and can't really help you
20:03 Cryterion joined #minetest
20:03 xenkey Okay
20:03 xenkey I'm loving the mesecons though
20:04 xenkey First time using them and they're so straightforeward
20:05 Cryterion try out the digilines then
20:05 xenkey I'm using them
20:14 xenkey https://sr.ht/e51d.png
20:16 xenkey Oh god people can change the channel
20:21 xenkey Is there any way to avoid this?

20:36 xenkey sqrt(a^a) == a right?
20:38 xenkey https://sr.ht/2c4a.txt
20:38 xenkey Thoughts?
20:39 xenkey I could make a mod which gives players a factorisation puzzle
20:44 Robert_Zenz joined #minetest
20:52 xenkey https://sr.ht/e2b6.png
21:08 sfan5 xenkey: do you only want math majors on your server?
21:08 xenkey math majors
21:08 xenkey im sure 14 year olds can solve these
21:09 xenkey i did quadratics at 14
21:09 xenkey But I'll leave it at a really simple logic puzzle
21:11 sfan5 xenkey: is the value for sqrt in radians or degrees
21:11 sfan5 there are many ways to get that wrong
21:11 xenkey uh
21:11 sfan5 especially for younger players
21:11 xenkey sqrt(a^2) = a, it's quite obvious
21:12 TheWild sqrt(a^a) is actually abs(a)
21:12 xenkey a^2
21:12 sfan5 ohhh
21:12 sfan5 wait
21:12 sfan5 nvm
21:12 TheWild oops, right I meant a^2
21:13 sfan5 sqrt is not sin
21:13 xenkey lol
21:13 sfan5 but i still think math questions of this level are not suited to prevent bots
21:13 sfan5 or whatever you want to prevent
21:14 xenkey I want to prevent illiterate 8 year olds
21:14 xenkey Math and english go hand in hand usually
21:14 sfan5 but not square roots
21:15 xenkey But I think you'll agree it's extremely good for deterring griefers
21:15 xenkey And it's a concept I've not seen anywhere before

22:10 Sokomine LinuxGuy2020: the mod WorldEdit will help you
22:10 Sokomine you can also try to use my handle_schematics mod, but that's not finished yet
22:12 LinuxGuy2020 Sokomine: So Im correct in assuming thats what the save/load thing I saw was for?
