"gdb minetest" I'm guessing? 11:50 sfan5 ye 11:50 sfan5 then "r" and when it crashes "bt 11:50 sfan5 " 11:53 jordan4ibanez https://pastebin.com/raw/NME2Tkq6 11:53 jordan4ibanez Science stuff right there 11:55 jordan4ibanez Running nvidia 384.90 on a gt730 11:59 sfan5 your graphics driver might be broken 11:59 sfan5 have you tried turning it off and on again 11:59 jordan4ibanez It's running fine, I just got done playing sauerbraten and serious sam so it's working in 64 and 32 bit, I'm stumped 12:00 sfan5 nvidia 384.69-2 with a gtx950 here and everything works fine 12:00 sfan5 try compiling mt from source perhaps 12:01 deltasquared jordan4ibanez: arch linux huh? I'm usually hiding on #archlinux, let's see now 12:02 jordan4ibanez I will do that now, and deltasquared, I tried turning it off and on again hahaha 12:02 deltasquared "Bus error" usually means that a program has incorrectly accessed memory relating to a mapping that has changed size. 12:02 deltasquared it's distinct from a segfault in that it can occur with mmap'd stuff, like for example graphics buffers 12:03 deltasquared so, the fact that your stack trace points out libnvidia-glcore would suggest you've hit a driver bug 12:03 deltasquared jordan4ibanez: so all that said, I would think that the "bus error" is not related ;) 12:04 jordan4ibanez deltasquared, yeah I'm still trying to get everything worked out, now I have pamac giving me invalid packages etc etc etc 12:06 deltasquared jordan4ibanez: just out of interest, did #archlinux direct you here? 12:06 deltasquared ... 12:06 deltasquared sfan5: they never stick around *facepalm* 12:07 deltasquared welcome to my life on #archlinux 12:07 sfan5 j4i should know better 12:07 sfan5 probably just rebooting 12:09 Taose >.> 12:09 Taose Damned archlinux 12:09 Taose why can't everyone just use Debian 12:09 sfan5 ｏｕｔｄａｔｅｄ ｓｏｆｔｗａｒｅ 12:10 Taose yet allegedly, it doesn't actually break down that often 12:10 deltasquared Taose: my arch install hasn't blown up in 3 years. 12:10 sfan5 it doesn't actually 12:10 sfan5 however just yesterday the update to linux 4.13 broke usb3.0 on my machine 12:11 Taose o.O 12:11 deltasquared wat 12:11 * deltasquared tests 12:11 sfan5 and then when downgrading linux i forgot to downgrade the lib32 package for nvidia which made me wonder for hours why steam wouldn't start up 12:11 sfan5 ;_; 12:11 Taose ah yes Nvidia 12:11 deltasquared steam, nvidia... you're got quite the handful there 12:11 Taose the worst graphic card to use for linux 12:11 sfan5 best* 12:11 Taose pfft 12:11 deltasquared if you can get it working, sure... 12:11 sfan5 apparently fcitx has a clipboard manager on ctrl+shift+, 🤔 12:12 Taose I've always found Radeon to to be the more stable 12:12 Taose (stability for me is more valuable) 12:12 deltasquared intel GPU is pretty good for stability, though for actual gaming use it's a bit anemic. 12:12 Taose Which is why I prefer Minetest over Terasology 12:13 deltasquared Terasology... I distinctly remember a *lot* of shader effects 12:13 Taose Graphically it was very nice, but it's built on Java 12:13 deltasquared eww 12:13 Taose exactly 12:14 deltasquared GC pauses do not belong in a game thanks :P 12:14 deltasquared that said, I wonder how often MT has to lua GC internally 12:14 deltasquared I haven't seen anything in the profiler to track it 12:14 Taose Mod idea... 12:14 Taose Sitting benches 12:14 Taose or do we have those? 12:14 * Taose checks 12:15 deltasquared I seem to remember having seating of some description 12:15 deltasquared *shrug* 12:15 deltasquared my brain is unable to process how that would work right now 12:15 sfan5 !mod bench 12:15 MinetestBot sfan5: Workbench - 3x3 4x4 5x5 [workbench] by cornernote - https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=3275 12:15 sfan5 !mod benches 12:15 MinetestBot sfan5: Could not find anything. 12:15 sfan5 hmm no 12:15 deltasquared workbench? that looks cool anyway 12:16 deltasquared man, I love just being able to git clone something when I want a litle thing here and there 12:16 Taose I'm sure there's something, it's probably tied into another mod 12:16 Taose Me too! 12:16 deltasquared hah, apparently you can use minetest.register_craft just fine with 4x4 recipes or beyond, you'll just need a bigger grid 12:17 Taose yep 12:17 deltasquared I'm pleasantly suprised that just works 12:17 Taose Though I wouldn't advise much over a 6x6 12:18 deltasquared raw.githubusercontent.com appears to still be borked by my ISP 12:19 deltasquared jordan4ibanez: any luck yet? 12:20 jordan4ibanez deltasquared, Right now I'm trying to learn to regenerate my fstab to auto mount my usb as swap, I did it, but now I have a whole bunch of duplication warnings on boot 12:20 jordan4ibanez Also minetest starts 12:21 sfan5 sound like you're having fun ;) 12:22 Taose Or at least he will be after he installs all the appropriate mods 12:23 jordan4ibanez sfan5, https://i.imgur.com/6MjfKgu.jpg I got it looking pretty but I just gotta get the hang of it after being on debian for 2 years bleh 12:24 jordan4ibanez I could release it as a distro and then get sd'd by apple hahaha 12:24 sfan5 is that xfce? 12:24 deltasquared jordan4ibanez: "auto mount as swap" that's a bit mangled, I'd refer to #archlinux with help if you need it 12:24 jordan4ibanez Lxde 12:25 sfan5 do you need it to be *that* light on resources? :P 12:25 Taose O.o a dabber in the Darch Arts? 12:25 deltasquared well personally I always say that if I'm not looking at it I don't expect it to take any resources if possible 12:25 jordan4ibanez Yes, amd 3 core, 4gb ddr2, gt730, it's poop 12:25 sfan5 xfce should run fine on anything that's not from 2009 12:26 jordan4ibanez I need MOAR resources yo 12:26 * deltasquared sits here with a tiling WM and no visible UI elements at all 12:27 deltasquared 3 xorg sessions, minetest running idle in one, few terminals, hexchat... 900MB RAM. I think I'm good :P 12:27 deltasquared though, I suspect this is starting to become a "I raise you X MB" contest 12:28 sfan5 jordan4ibanez: https://i.imgur.com/xl3npLm.png ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 12:28 jordan4ibanez I'm gonna take out the ram and wire in 15mb of dram 12:28 sfan5 1.7GiB ram use at present 12:28 jordan4ibanez Yay boobs 12:29 sfan5 :P 12:29 deltasquared do I see... HERESY! 12:29 sfan5 ａｒｔ 12:29 jordan4ibanez 1.43gb with 7 tabs in google chrome and compiling peazip yo 12:29 deltasquared sfan5: the other block game, how dare you :P 12:30 sfan5 deltasquared: i barely play it 12:30 sfan5 haven't touched it in months 12:30 deltasquared always cool to, uh, "borrow" ideas from though maybe? 12:30 deltasquared hmm. 12:30 deltasquared speaking of ideas, implementing multipart blocks using entities... hmm 12:31 deltasquared sfan5: I'm thinking of forge multipart in particular. I suspect that putting such a thing in the engine would be *waaaay* to complex 12:31 sfan5 idk how that works never heard of it 12:32 deltasquared sfan5: multiple "things" can be occupy a block space, say multiple torches. or project:red wires, for instance 12:32 sfan5 sounds fancy 12:32 deltasquared if MT had such a thing, for example, the moreblocks panels etc. could share a space 12:32 deltasquared no idea how one would give it node sounds though, among many other caveats. 12:33 jordan4ibanez sfan5, is mesecons outdated af? 12:33 sfan5 not it still works 12:33 sfan5 development has been slow but it's not like there's anything to replace it 12:33 jordan4ibanez Well still works and being optimized hmmmmmm 12:34 jordan4ibanez I'mma give it a try and probably fail woooo 12:34 deltasquared sfan5: I've looked into mesecons and my head hurted. I don't think it's going to be replaced by some upstart anytime soon :P 12:34 deltasquared ActionQueue... oh dear 12:35 deltasquared I'll say one thing though, if I ever had to do something like that, I'd be bringing along a certain red-coloured ore from the other game ;) 12:37 Taose Who even plays minecraft nowadays 12:38 Taose They must have not have heard of minetest 12:39 deltasquared I've been trying to encourage my brother to play MT. he was rebuilding an old house from memory, he wasn't really doing anything that required MC in particular (bar perhaps textures) 12:39 Taose :) 12:39 deltasquared younger relatives too, but alas MC is the "cool thing" the kids want to play it seems 12:40 Taose XD 12:40 deltasquared it's not a case of they want to play a block game, they want to play *minecraft* with all it's context so they can talk/waste time over it etc. 12:43 Taose ah 12:43 Taose I think half of it is more to do with their friends not being there 12:43 deltasquared that too, the network effect etc. 12:45 Taose Do we have an NPC mod that allows NPCs to be programmed in game? I.e place a "person" crafted from Feathers and Honey then being able to select options in an ingame menu? 12:45 Taose (Nothing to complex just a few inbuilt scripts) 12:46 deltasquared Taose: I dunno about programmability, though I did consider writing a lib to produce a fake player object that would try to "look" as convincing as possible 12:47 deltasquared that said, it would be a table, not a userdata, so if you looked closely enough, it'd fall down 12:47 Taose keke 12:47 Taose I'm just thinking about easy routes to make interact-able stuff 12:48 Taose I'm building a village and have almost gotten to the stage where I want to start populating it. 12:48 deltasquared do me a favour, don't make them squidwards 12:49 deltasquared for the love of god 12:49 deltasquared no more "hmm"s 12:49 Taose ? 12:50 deltasquared Taose: I'm referring to the MC villagers 12:50 deltasquared *shudders* 12:50 Taose >.< 12:50 deltasquared now he gets it :P 12:50 Taose I haven't ever played MC 12:51 deltasquared Taose: good thing then. let's just say that the MC villagers have a habit of driving people insane 12:51 Taose Mine probably won't be saying much 12:52 Taose Just inhabiting their houses 12:52 Taose they might go and bash the same tree without actually cutting it down day after day... 12:52 Taose or they might work in the mine 12:52 Taose day after day not actually mining anything 12:53 deltasquared AI systems would be intriguing, but beyond my capacity right now 12:53 Taose Yeah I've got no desire for actual AI at the moment 12:54 Taose (I refer to AI as being code that makes decisions based on input) 12:54 deltasquared "game AI" then, people get what you mean there 12:54 Taose ah okay 12:57 deltasquared Taose: hmm, this kinda puts it into context https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHIImfiokOU 12:58 Taose >.> 12:58 Taose lmfao 12:58 deltasquared it gets REALLY ANNOYING over time 12:58 deltasquared it was bad enough that they resemble squidward with those noses 12:58 Taose XD 12:59 Taose I was thinking text tbf 12:59 deltasquared there was an old mod that replaced villager's with steve's model (the default player skin), and made iron golems (guard type things that walk around villages) look like skyrim guards 12:59 deltasquared in a blocky way, of course 12:59 Taose XD 13:01 Taose I can imagine how that'd get very annoying very quickly 13:01 Taose I wonder if I could get away with Dragon Naturally Speaking voices... 13:17 deltasquared Taose: perhaps https://lyrebird.ai ? 13:17 deltasquared I'm actually wanting to try that on myself now 13:18 Calinou "double-facepalm" :-) 13:18 deltasquared Calinou: huh? 13:18 Calinou (some custom Xonotic player models use espeak voices, one of the taunts is "double facepalm" said using espeak) 13:18 Raven262 lol 13:19 deltasquared indeed 13:22 Taose Lyrebird or mockingjay...hmmm 13:22 deltasquared Taose: actually IIRC the actually talking ones were called jabberjays 13:23 Taose that is true 13:24 Calinou https://media.hugo.pro/minetest.png 13:24 Calinou about adding NPCs to Minetest :P 13:24 sfan5 you forgot the last one 13:25 sfan5 "implementing mobile players as NPCs" 13:25 Calinou oh, yes 13:25 Calinou we could acheve very high levels of realism for that one, it'd be Turing-complete 13:25 Taose XD 13:25 Taose Nah I'm only interested in something very basic 13:30 rubenwardy a turing machine from actual mobile players would be hilarious 13:30 rubenwardy EVE-level beginner extortion 13:30 rubenwardy doubt it's possible 13:31 Krock I hope you've all seen the Turing machine in PowerPoint: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNjxe8ShM-8 13:31 rubenwardy yes :D 13:32 Taose O.o 13:32 Taose must be that time of day 13:32 * Taose puts the kettle on 13:32 sfan5 !title 13:32 MinetestBot sfan5: On The Turing Completeness of PowerPoint (SIGBOVIK) - YouTube 13:33 deltasquared rubenwardy: "EVE-level", so it was a common thing on that game to exploit new users? 13:34 rubenwardy yeah, big players would exploit new users to make loads of money for them at low cost 13:35 Taose That's damned impressive... 13:40 deltasquared turing machine in powerpoint... I'm fscking done 13:44 Taose /dev/sda1 fsck failed. Disk failure. 13:45 sfan5 should've used btrfs, it has no fsck so nothing can fail 13:45 sfan5 :P 13:45 Taose XD 13:46 Taose Turns out Ubuntu doesn't like the suspend feature 13:46 Taose Tends to lead to corruption on the hdd... 13:47 XeonSquared even more fun is a brainf--k interpreter in excel 13:47 Taose O.o 13:47 XeonSquared got bored one day at work and did that 13:48 XeonSquared excel does not like loops 13:48 deltasquared sfan5: I was just lucking at the facedir axis values... is there a particular reason that they're the values that they are? 13:48 deltasquared is there a special trick to say flip it to face exactly the opposite way 13:48 sfan5 deltasquared: prob no 13:49 Krock https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CQqGzPXUwAAVUOd.jpg 13:50 deltasquared right, so I'm still going to need some kind of flip function. darn. 13:50 Krock (if the "feature" answer isn't enough) 13:50 Calinou Taose: suspend on Linux is still pretty unreliable today 13:50 Calinou on the proprietary NVIDIA driver, it's pretty much unusable 13:51 sfan5 you mean suspend to disk surely? 13:51 Calinou on open source drivers, it's mostly okay… at best 13:51 Calinou no, to RAM 13:51 Calinou to disk is probably even worse 13:51 sfan5 works perfectly on my laptop 13:51 Calinou on my laptop, suspending worked, but Bluetooth sometimes didn't restore 13:51 Calinou (only a reboot could solve it) 13:53 Krock I tried to suspend to RAM too, that was two days ago. But each attempt to do so failed, as it kept starting up again, getting back to the login screen. This even when trying to shut down from the login screen itself :/ 13:53 Krock hard exit solved it 13:54 Krock i.e. 5s death-knob pressing or cable out 13:57 Taose Yeah that's pretty much what I've found 13:57 Taose I usually find it makes my main disk read only on restore 14:12 Taose Paramat, does your weather mod water the ground? 14:13 paramat for farming? 14:14 paramat no 14:14 paramat good idea though 14:15 paramat some have forked the mod and made changes to do with how it acts when the player is undercover 14:16 paramat as that behaviour is obviously controversial 14:17 Taose Hm 14:18 Taose In that case I have two issues 14:18 Taose one the crops aren't growing beyond stage 1 14:18 Taose 2 the water can isn't watering 14:18 Taose 3 the soil isn't drying out? 14:18 Taose Was the water's range increased? 14:19 Taose As for how it acts when undercover, I'm okay with how it is ^-^ 14:29 paramat i don't know what is causing your issues 14:43 Taose Yeah neither do I >.> 14:43 Taose I had it before I believe. 14:50 Taose I think I've figured it out 14:50 Taose Sofar, your watering can doesn't work 14:55 Taose and now the crops are growing again 15:21 swift110 hey all 16:11 habeangur Minetest is Freenode sponser?how? 16:17 Taose With what money? 16:18 Taose Or is Celeron being overly generous again? 16:19 rubenwardy habeangur, exhibitor 16:19 rubenwardy "sponsors and exhibitors" the title is called, I believe 16:19 rubenwardy context: freenode.live 17:39 Taose Paramat, apparently being under glass doesn't count 17:40 paramat because sunlight propagates, so light level is still 15 under glass 17:41 Taose Ah I see so it's using the same system as sunlight? 17:44 paramat snowdrift mod determines 'being under open sky' by detecting the maximum light level which is 15 17:52 Taose Well not a huge issue at any rate 18:09 rdococ Want to know my favorite planet? 18:12 Raven262 Yes, rdococ, tell us. 18:13 rdococ Uranus :P 18:13 Raven262 Ah 18:13 Raven262 That wasn't even a fun joke 18:13 rdococ This computer, the one I'm using right now, has a web filter. 18:13 rdococ I've set it not to bother me, but every while or so it fails somehow and has to redownload the settings. 18:14 rdococ For some reason, I can access every website, but I can't enter a Roblox game. 18:14 Raven262 Awww, even better than my magically disappearing ublock origin. 18:14 rdococ Ugh, god damn it. 18:15 rdococ I'm tempted to restart. 18:17 rdococ Right, that's it, I'm restarting. Can't take this any longer. 18:21 rdococ Well, I'm back. 18:21 rdococ The web filter is still initializing. 18:21 deltasquared as am I. *waves* 18:21 rdococ Whatever the heck that means. 18:22 rdococ I sincerely wish I would know more about what it's actually doing during this time. 18:22 deltasquared "we're just setting things up for you" 18:22 rdococ Because, last time I checked, downloading a few files from the internet didn't take more than 15 minutes. 18:23 rdococ Seriously, is it just wasting my time? 18:23 deltasquared no idea 18:23 deltasquared I don't know the product/software in question 18:23 rdococ I managed to get on a website. It hasn't fully loaded, though. 18:24 rdococ The product is Netintelligence, and it's a pain in the ass on what is meant to be a home computer. 18:24 rdococ Intelligent my ass. 18:24 deltasquared doesn't work quite right? sounds like an "antivirus" if you know what I mean 18:24 rdococ It shipped with the computer, and attempts to remove it failed. 18:25 rdococ I don't think it's rogue, though. 18:27 Taose Web filter? 18:27 deltasquared any idea how it works? DNS? connection intercept 18:27 deltasquared *shudder* local SSL MiTM? 18:28 Taose Just format the damn thing and run linux :) 18:28 deltasquared sky's "broadband shield" is a mere DNS redirector, so it's fairly easy to skip over 18:28 rdococ I don't know how Netintelligence works. 18:29 deltasquared I'm just wondering if "not-so-netintelligence" applies to how it supposedly does it's filtering 18:29 rdococ I really don't think it's rogue, though. 18:30 Taose https://kb.stonegroup.co.uk/index.php?View=entry&EntryID=299 18:30 Taose I suggest you remove it 18:30 deltasquared eh, it'll probably be one of those things you'll want to throw out the window eventually if it interferes with stuff 18:30 Taose and by that I mean... a nice hard format 18:30 rdococ Taose, I can't connect to that page. 18:30 deltasquared phahaha 18:30 Taose -_- 18:30 rdococ Can you send a screenshot? 18:30 Taose Which image sites can you access? 18:31 rdococ ...Wait, that won't work either. Crap. 18:31 Taose XD 18:31 rdococ Taose, what's odd is that I was able to go on every website just before I had to restart. 18:31 rdococ Is it actually rogue?! 18:31 Taose No 18:31 rdococ Okay, it loads now. 18:31 Taose Netintelligence is a parental net lock thingy 18:31 Taose Netintelligence is an internet parental control designed to help parents monitor and if required, restrict their children's Internet activity. It allows you to: 18:31 Taose Determine which types of web sites you doand do notwant your family to visit. 18:31 Taose Keep an eye on the length of time spent on the computer by your family and what they are doing. 18:31 Taose The following list shows the type of websites that are blocked by default. The categories can be added or removed for each user account. Gaming websites can also be added to the blocked list, but is not enabled as default. 18:31 Taose In then goes on to list... 18:32 rdococ I also don't know the username or password. 18:32 Taose Adult, Gambling, Threats, Drugs, Hate, Gaming 18:32 Taose so... 18:32 Taose everything 18:32 Taose Do you have a usb stick? 18:32 deltasquared "anonymous file sharing" in sky broadband shield's case blocks web.archive.org. fuck you. 18:32 deltasquared ... 18:32 deltasquared err, fsck? damn 18:32 * deltasquared hides 18:32 Taose ? 18:33 rdococ I did, however, while I knew the login details, configure the settings not to block anything. 18:33 deltasquared Taose: I got advised not to use profanity to liberally on here is all 18:33 deltasquared *too 18:33 Taose Probably a good idea. 18:33 Taose However using fsck instead of the more vulgar term, is actually still profanity. 18:34 rdococ My mother likes forgetting things like manuals that come with stuff. 18:34 rdococ It's really annoying. 18:34 deltasquared Taose: huh, I always thought using the term for filesystem check would go under the radar 18:35 Taose It's never the word that matters, it's the intent ^-^ 18:35 deltasquared intent my foot 18:35 Taose See, profanity right there ;) 18:35 * deltasquared strangles Taose 18:35 rdococ Intent my banana. 18:35 Taose As for getting rid of netintelligence 18:35 rdococ Remember, kids! Profanity is when you feel a negative emotion! 18:36 rdococ How would I get rid of it without trying to log in? 18:36 Taose Pretty much the only way you can do it now is a format, you'll otherwise need the details. 18:36 rdococ God damn it. 18:36 Taose and don't install it when you boot re-load. 18:36 Taose In the mean time, grab a usb-stick and run linux through it 18:36 deltasquared best way I have of copying files between two devices still: netcat or tarpipes 18:40 Taose >.> 18:40 Taose To be fair I just snail mail anything over 5gb 18:41 Taose O.o 18:41 Taose Netintelligence warning: 18:41 Taose Please Note: You will not be able to 'surf' the Internet using Google Chrome as it is not compatible with Netintelligence. Google Chrome should not be installed on your PC / notebook. 18:42 rdococ Netintelligence is honestly crap. 18:43 rdococ I'm considering installing Tor browser. 18:44 rdococ I can go on every website, but I can't enter a Roblox game. 18:44 rdococ Why the hell is it being so selective? 18:44 Taose >.> 18:44 rdococ Sometimes I begin to think that everything is actually put into place by an evil god to torture me. 18:44 Taose have you tried Minetest, I hear it's awesome 18:44 deltasquared I guess it blocks everything it doesn't have a backdoor to 18:45 rdococ It doesn't block IRC at all, deltasquared. Even when it's busy "downloading settings" for 20 flipping minutes. 18:45 rdococ And it better not start, either. 18:45 rdococ I'm considering contacting support, but it doesn't even say. 18:48 rdococ Okay, great, now even LESS is working. 18:49 rdococ I swear to flipping God 18:49 rdococ I fucking swear to God. 18:50 Taose Get a usb stick... 18:50 Taose Download manjaro... 18:50 rdococ Manjaro? 18:50 rdococ What the heck is that? 18:50 Taose Linux distro 18:50 rdococ I can't even do that right now. 18:50 Taose it's actually pretty good at running from a usb 18:50 Taose >.> someone email him a copy 18:50 rdococ I don't have another computer to download it. 18:50 Taose -_- 18:51 rdococ I probably can't even access email. 18:51 Taose Okay 18:51 rdococ This software is plain fucking cruel to me. 18:51 Taose your only option is to reformat the machine 18:51 rdococ (that being Netintelligence) 18:51 rdococ My only option at the moment is to get a fucking hammer. 18:52 Taose We'll see you when you get a new computer? 18:52 rdococ Maybe. 18:53 rdococ It's literally impossible to vent your anger out in a world like this. One small thing will hurt you even more. 18:54 rdococ Fuck it, I'm getting the Tor browser. 18:55 rdococ I hope it will help to bypass this crappy filtering software I don't even want. 18:56 rdococ LOL - it broke Windows's crappy SmartScreen thing. 18:56 rdococ I'm going to show Netintellistupid - that stupid piece of fucking shit - who's boss. 18:57 assadf minetest needs a pubg style subgame 18:57 rdococ pubg? 18:57 assadf playerunknown's battlegrounds 18:58 assadf hey wouldn't it make really good sense for a minetest server to make use of ipfs 19:00 rubenwardy !g ipfs 19:01 sfan5 >ipfs meme 19:01 rubenwardy ~g ipfs 19:01 ShadowBot rubenwardy: Home | IPFS Corporation - To ensure ipfs.com is always performing to the highest standards, we regularly perform system maintenance from Saturday 9:00 PM Central Time to Sunday 8:00 AM Central ... , GitHub - ipfs/ipfs: IPFS - The Permanent Web - IPFS (the InterPlanetary File System) is a new hypermedia distribution protocol, (5 more messages) 19:01 sfan5 rubenwardy: tl;dr the "web" but it's a distributed filesystem 19:01 rubenwardy MinetestBot! 19:01 MinetestBot rubenwardy! 19:01 rdococ Had to get a bridge. 19:01 rdococ But I think it's up and running now. 19:01 sfan5 assadf: how exactly would ipfs help minetest? 19:03 assadf instead of loading data from a central server players in the same geographical location could pull data from each other's machines thereby shaving precious ms in latency 19:03 assadf if i understand it correctly 19:03 assadf say what you will about the ipfs meme but their irc is several times more active than yours js 19:04 sfan5 okay cool 19:04 sfan5 assadf: i only see this working out for media files or (with several complications) world data 19:04 * Krock has flashbacks of an issue about distributed game content, which slowly died in inactivity 19:04 sfan5 however both of those are not latency-relevant 19:05 sfan5 latency matters when interacting with other players or the environment, not during data download 19:05 sfan5 besides ~60% of minetest players are on mobile platforms which will guaranteedly not run ipfs 19:05 rdococ Couldn't a machine send incorrect data, though? 19:06 assadf so you are telling me that when I walk to an area cached on my buddy sitting next to me's machine that the latency wouldn't matter between getting it from his comp and getting it from the server 19:06 rdococ (Though that could easily be prevented using SHA checksums.) 19:06 assadf actually android has an ipfs alpha client already available 19:06 Krock rdococ, that's another issue. never trust clients. 19:06 assadf everything is hashed and signed on ipfs 19:07 rdococ Krock: A machine could send incorrect data, sure. However, if the server and machine only exchange checksums to ensure that the data is correct, then I don't see the problem. 19:07 sfan5 assadf: correct 19:07 rdococ It wouldn't cause too much latency - I hope, anyway. 19:07 sfan5 it does not matter if you get a 16KiB block of data from your mate @ 2ms or from the server which is at worst 300ms away 19:08 sfan5 the android thing i mention wasn't about support, it was about whether people would actually use it 19:08 assadf i beg to differ 19:08 assadf try it and see 19:09 sfan5 why would i go out of my way just to prove what you said? 19:09 assadf no im saying the difference would be noticeable 19:10 sfan5 certainly, but i'm saying the difference does not matter 19:11 assadf im thinking that it might enable people in china to play with people in america on the same server and actually enjoy the experience 19:11 sfan5 even if latency did matter, map data is way too dynamic to be stored distributed in an useful manner 19:12 assadf surely you must be joking 19:12 sfan5 no 19:12 sfan5 can ipfs distribute map updates several times a second faster than directly sending data to each client? 19:14 assadf what exactly do you mean 19:14 rdococ Ugh, I am seriously annoyed by this web filter. It still manages to be a pain even though I've configured it not to filter anything. 19:14 rdococ I had to restart the computer earlier, and now I can't access any website normally. 19:15 rdococ I had to install Tor browser, and even use a bridge or two. 19:16 sfan5 assadf: map data can change several times a second, can ipfs handle that and provide the newest "version" to clients in a timely manner? 19:17 assadf a core philosophy of its design is to introduce zero adoption friction. I would assume, though I am not intimately familiar with its inner workings, that it could in fact handle the task you describe 19:19 sfan5 even if it could, i seriously doubt that would be faster (latency-wise) than just sending map updates to each client individually 19:21 assadf so you think it is faster for one machine to continually update several machines on map data rather than several machines working together to keep each other updated. I think it is the other way around. It seems we have reached an impasse in our discussion and further scientific inquiry is required to ascertain the truth 19:21 sfan5 possibly 19:22 sfan5 if ipfs does turn out to be magically faster than what we have been using for years you would still need to find a developer to implement it 19:22 ClockGen is it possible to give player custom velocity in lua? 19:22 sfan5 and i can guarantee you that adoption rate would be very low 19:22 sfan5 ClockGen: no 19:23 sfan5 ClockGen: this feature has been requiested for some time but it's not implemented yet 19:23 sfan5 maybe you can find the relevant issue if you search on github 19:25 paramat map data changes very many times a second 19:26 rdococ That's it, I refuse to believe that Netintelligence isn't malware. 19:37 Angry hey 19:38 Angry anyone alive 19:38 deltasquared maybe? 19:38 rdococ https://www.xkcd.com/231/ 19:38 rubenwardy not sure 19:39 Angry well you people arent dead rubenwardy deltasquared 19:39 rubenwardy how'd you know? 19:39 rubenwardy I feel like it 19:39 rdococ I think I might be alive, but I don't know for sure :/ 19:39 rdococ I'm battling with a broken web filter 19:39 Angry sounds hard rdococ 19:40 rdococ I'm considering booting into safe mode to boot the web filter out. 19:40 deltasquared might work, hopefully that'll disable whatever it's using to protect itself 19:41 rdococ I wonder how it even does that, though. 19:41 rdococ I've found at least one source which actually claims the filter to be malware, but the source doesn't seem too trustworthy itself. 19:41 deltasquared I dunno re self-protection, but antiviruses do it too 19:42 deltasquared that said, software which I can't remove on a system I should control, and acts against my interest, qualifies as malware in my book ;) 19:42 rdococ I had to install Tor browser, because it wouldn't allow me to access very many websites for whatever reason. 19:43 rdococ Once I emailed the bridges email bot with 'get bridges', I was able to connect to Tor and access the internet, unrestricted, through that. 19:44 rdococ Though I'm not even sure I can access Safe Mode on this laptop. It's Windows 8.1. 19:44 rdococ Also, I think the vendor has tampered with the boot screen. 19:45 deltasquared sounds like a typical day in the life of a windows user to me :P 19:45 rdococ Heh. 19:46 rdococ When I get my laptop back - hopefully tomorrow - I'd forgo all this shit and install Linux, if not for the fact that I still have a lingering feeling for Roblox. 19:46 rdococ I really don't know what to do. 19:46 rdococ My plan was originally to only use Roblox here on this laptop, but the shitty web filter has broken everything. 19:46 rdococ I'm installing Malwarebytes as we speak to see if it classifies Netintelligence as malware. 19:47 deltasquared Roblox? eh, I can't really judge on that one owing to a lack of exposure to it. 19:48 rdococ Well, it's proprietary and it REALLY likes money, so it's become sort of a guilty pleasure. 19:49 rdococ Yay, Malwarebytes can't download the latest updates and stuff. 19:51 deltasquared I would just gently point out that there might be a point where it's either that software or preserving your sanity 19:51 rdococ Honestly, I'd have to agree with you. 19:51 rdococ But I'm already insane anyway - and if I wasn't, school would make me go insane. 19:52 rdococ I self-regularly slap my own head at the sides. One time, it was hard enough that I swore I went deaf in my right ear for a few moments, or at least my sense of hearing was diminished there. Note that I was still able to balance and walk fine, though. 20:01 rdococ I do agree with you though, deltasquared. Netintelligence is software that is acting against my interests, and resisting removal even with Autoruns.exe. That is what both of us call malware. 20:04 rdococ What the... 20:04 rdococ I just disconnected from all three networks. 20:04 rdococ I managed to reconnect to two other than Freenode, and then one of them - Inchra - disconnected again. 20:04 rdococ But it's back to normal now... if with a high ping. 20:05 deltasquared right, must go, because my current X11 session can't seem to undock from my monitor properly. RIP> 20:14 rdococ I've decided to fuck it; I'm just going to see if Netstupidence is going to block Minetest servers too. 20:14 rdococ Seems not. 20:14 Taose yaaay 20:15 rdococ Yay! 20:16 rdococ Hmm, which server to go on. 20:16 rubenwardy redcat creative 20:16 rubenwardy :) 20:16 rdococ lol, I'm connecting to VE-C atm 20:16 rubenwardy :'( 20:17 rdococ I got on to VE-Basic fairly easily, though, so I believe the broken web filter doesn't block Minetest servers. 20:17 rdococ I am eternally grateful that Minetest uses different ports. 20:25 rdococ My nutso web filter filters http://192.168.0.1:80/ because it hasn't, and never SEEMS to, get the proper settings. 20:26 Taose Isn't 192.168 a local server? 20:26 Taose i.e you 20:26 Krock not directly you but a device in your local network 20:27 Krock .0.1 and .1.1 are common router IPs 20:31 rdococ yeah, 192.168.0.1 connects to the control panel for my router 20:31 rdococ yet this dumbass web filter blocks it because it "has invalid settings" and must "download settings" (which takes an indefinite amount of time); 20:33 Taose Yeah there's this command called Fdisk 20:33 Taose It'll solve your problem instantly 20:33 Taose I'd back up all your data that you want to keep though 20:34 rdococ Would the operating system be formatted, though? 20:34 rdococ See, I'm kind of confused. 20:35 rdococ 'Formatting' a disk would leave nothing on that disk, right? 20:35 Taose mhm 20:35 rdococ What would happen if I then tried to boot the computer without an external flash drive? 20:35 Taose Not a lot 20:35 rdococ What /would/ happen, though? 20:36 Taose Well assuming that you didn't have an OS to reinstall...very very little 20:36 Taose as in, you wouldn't get past the bios screen 20:37 rdococ Is there a way to wipe everything, but keep the OS itself and essential components such as Internet Explorer, so I can reinstall Firefox? 20:38 Taose Did you get a disk with your computer? 20:38 Taose i.e a windows disk 20:38 rdococ Don't think so. 20:38 rdococ Even if I did, my mother probably would have thrown it away. 20:40 Taose http://mywindowshub.com/reinstall-windows-8/ ? 20:40 Taose ... 20:40 Taose hang on 20:40 Taose Steps to reinstall Windows 8 without the disk 20:40 Taose 1. First of all you need to go to the computer settings, to do so press Windows + C keys to view the start menu startbar, click on Settings. 20:40 Taose 2. Over there you find a “Change PC Settings” option, click it. 20:40 Krock > essential components 20:40 Krock > Internet Explorer 20:40 Taose 3. Now, a PC Settings window opens, over there navigate to General Settings, scroll down and you will find three options 20:41 Taose “1st-Refresh Your PC without affecting your files” 20:41 Taose “2nd-Remove everything and reinstall windows” 20:41 Taose “3rd-Advanced Startup” 20:41 Taose The 1st option is for reinstalling windows 8 without affecting your files the 2nd is to delete all files and reinstall windows 8 and the 3rd option gives you the options for installing windows from USB drive/DVD or other options. 20:41 Taose IE isn't essential anymore, I think that's Edge nowadays 20:41 rdococ Krock: yeah I didn't think that through 20:42 rdococ My mother uses the first option regularly for some reason. It temporarily keeps the broken web filter at bay. 20:42 Taose You need the second 20:42 rdococ ah. 20:43 rdococ should I do it now? 20:43 Taose I recommend backing up your data just in case but sure you can try it 20:43 Taose I'd personally recommend trying to get a small linux distro 20:43 Taose I wonder if you can use ftp? 20:44 Taose (i.e. using something other than the 80 port to get data) 20:44 rdococ My mother has lots of files on here, but I'm not sure about the whole backupping thing. 20:44 Taose If you're using tor, that should enable you to download an ISO 20:45 rdococ well, my mother did say I could do whatever with this 20:45 rdococ so for now I might go for the second option 20:45 Taose Go for it 20:49 rdococ_ K. 20:50 rdococ_ I sincerely hope this works. 20:51 rdococ_ gonna mess around on this iPad thing. 20:58 rdococ_ Ugh, I wish this thing had better multitasking. 21:06 Taose >.> 21:09 rdococ_ <.< 21:10 rdococ_ 'were setting things up for you' 21:10 rdococ_ 'We're'? 21:10 rdococ_ Wow, there must be tiny people in my computer making it work. /s 21:11 rdococ_ "Don't turn off your -- fuck, netintelligence is still there 21:12 rdococ_ the only shit it even deleted was shit I care about 21:12 rdococ_ like Firefox and Hexchat 21:21 sofar !mod warps 21:21 MinetestBot sofar: Warps [0.2][warps] by madchicken13 - https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=2775 21:22 Lone-Star i stopped running windows long time ago, except in a vm for programs that only run in windows 21:23 rdococ_ I would run Linux but I'm using my parents computer rn 21:24 Lone-Star what are you running to require port 80? 21:24 rdococ_ You mean 192.168.0.1? 21:25 rdococ_ thats the routers control panel 21:25 rdococ_ it uses port 80 21:33 MinetestBot 02[git] 04paramat -> 03minetest/minetest: Stratum ore: Allow use with no noise for simple horizontal strata 13e2afcf8 https://git.io/vdnRd (152017-10-01T21:31:44Z) 21:39 rdococ hi rdococ_ 22:18 rdococ I love it when my internet breaks.
