Time Nick Message 00:55 meff are irrlicht's edit boxes used for the boxes in the minetest menus? 01:00 onlyabyte so.. what do we think about discord? :P 01:00 onlyabyte oh and hiya! 01:09 adfeno onlyabyte: XMPP is better at least for one-to-one talks ;) 01:10 adfeno (if each person has Jingle (voice/video) enabled) 01:39 onlyabyte adfeno: agreed 01:45 meff I've resisted discord 01:45 meff IRC and Mumble reskins seem to be all the rage 01:46 meff XMPP on the phone is a sure way to suck your battery to 0 01:49 onlyabyte when you say that: "reskins", it all makes sense. it is a shame that lot of communities and even programs are using Discord though - I guess we all must resist 01:51 adfeno meff: There is a good news: 01:52 adfeno Some XMPP service providers have a XMPP extension (XEP) that enables Push notifications, which consumes less battery. 01:53 adfeno I think this also became one of the recommended XEPs by the XMPP standards groups. 01:58 meff yeah I saw that XEP, but idk if XMPP is gonna have the momentum to go on with Matrix becoming a thing 01:58 * nepugia <-bridged agrees 01:58 meff onlyabyte: I know folks who work at Discord, and apparently their onboarding process is to throw new employees onto their codebase and they get fired if they take too long to understand it 01:58 meff some part of me is a bit anguished that a company that reskins IRC thinks of themselves so highly that they can do that 01:58 meff but 02:04 adfeno Matrix is agood solution but still relies solely on matrix.org 02:05 adfeno the lack of free/libre software to connect to it in usable state also worries me. 02:10 nepugia >Matrix is agood solution but still relies solely on matrix.org 02:10 nepugia how so? 02:11 nepugia if you meen for the specs... well yes, they made the specs... 02:12 adfeno nepugia: Sorry, indeed you're right, it doesn't relly only on matrix.org. I just got conformation in other channel, they have a federated standard. ;) 02:12 adfeno But the client issue remains ;) 02:12 nepugia matrix is federated per default, sure, a large number of users are on matrix.org currently 02:13 nepugia usable clients are subjective imo 02:13 nepugia i am using quaternion 99% of the time and it is working great for me 02:13 onlyabyte well discord is simply a slack rip-off, i mean just look at both of them 02:14 * nepugia didnt look at either of them 02:14 onlyabyte I hope for Riot to improve their UX and UI 02:15 onlyabyte It's fine for people who are technically inclined but for the newbie, it isn't a good first impression. 02:15 nepugia lol 02:16 onlyabyte And, I find it hilarious that people take open-source tools and software and turn it into their cluster of proprietary mess (aka Discord) 02:17 nepugia i really dont see a correlation between technically inclined people and riot 02:17 adfeno onlyabyte: You are with me here, this is why I help at #fsf and do community oriented GPL enforcement (visit #fsf to know what it is, otherwise it getss offtopic) ;) 02:17 nepugia some UI issues need to be adressed sure, still its clearly more targeted at newbies 02:18 onlyabyte the FSF have their own channel here on freenode? 02:18 adfeno onlyabyte: Yep 02:18 onlyabyte Sweet 02:18 onlyabyte Is there like a channel to discuss privacy-related things? 02:19 adfeno Not staff-only, people from all-around go there, even non-members. 02:19 onlyabyte Oh nice, I'll be sure to check it out 02:19 adfeno I'm glad you like it ;) 02:24 onlyabyte adfeno: what distro do you use if you don't mind me asking.. :P 02:25 adfeno I use Trisquel 7, and also I contribute to GNU Guix (package manager) by using it weekly to install some packages I need to keep updated. 02:26 adfeno I use and contribute to Trisquel by the wayy ;) 02:26 onlyabyte niice :D 02:26 onlyabyte you got anything librebooted/corebooted? 02:26 adfeno Hehehe... not yet, it's my dream though.... :) 02:27 onlyabyte then hopefully you get one! 02:27 onlyabyte what do you have currently? 02:29 onlyabyte I'd want to get a librebooted device too but the X200 is pretty slow when it comes to bloated software of today. 02:34 adfeno I have this one: https://h-node.org/notebooks/view/en/1600/VAIO-VPCEG17FB 02:36 onlyabyte pretty nice! 02:36 adfeno Yay! Been enduring my battles since 2011 ;) 02:36 onlyabyte I wish I could replace my wifi card. Its not a problem but it uses proprietary drivers. 02:37 onlyabyte Like the problem is not compatibility but rather the driver being proprietary ;)) 02:38 adfeno Actually, my mother stays with it until 2013, with Windows and all non-free software. Then after that I turn into a free/libre software user, and in 2016 an activist. ;) 02:38 adfeno onlyabyte: Do you have a spare USB port? 02:38 onlyabyte Yeah 02:39 onlyabyte I could use a dongle but it's the silly BIOS whitelisting the cards 02:39 onlyabyte I was considering a corebooted X230 for a while and run me_cleaner on it 02:39 onlyabyte I have a ThinkPad X131e btw :) 02:40 adfeno Oh... *that* whitelist 02:40 onlyabyte yeah 02:40 onlyabyte you need to have a specific FRU 02:40 adfeno Digital Handcuff/Defective by Design... at its best :S 02:41 onlyabyte haha yeah 02:42 onlyabyte Might consider those System76 laptops but I'm not sure about the build quality on those. 02:42 onlyabyte Btw, I am greatful that this project (minetest) didn't go the proprietary chat route like LMMS did. 02:44 adfeno Oh... that one is disappointing indeed. 02:45 adfeno As my friend in contemporary economics says: keep the federation ;) 02:45 adfeno .. if you break it, all the end-users loose in some way. 02:46 onlyabyte Out of curiosity, what web browser do you use? 02:49 onlyabyte I feel that Firefox has got out of hand but it seems to be the only main-stream browser. 02:49 onlyabyte There is Pale Moon and of course Tor Browser too I suppose. 02:50 adfeno I'm a happy user of GNU IceCat, with either NoScript or GNU LibreJS enabled. Sometimes I also use EWW if I want to get more lightweight. ;) 02:50 adfeno EWW is another browser by the way. 02:51 onlyabyte Ah, I forgot about IceCat 02:51 onlyabyte I better check that one out 02:53 nepugia @adfeno, have you tried any matrix clients yet btw? most arent ready yet for most users, but if you have a bit tecnical knowledge good enough for daily use (well, good enough for my daily use anyway :3) 02:54 shangul rubenwardy, may I pm you? 02:54 rubenwardy sure 02:55 adfeno nepugia: I'm somewhat in the middle of non-tech and tech. 02:56 adfeno nepugia: But the issues I described are far from usability. 02:58 adfeno At #fsf we just "finished" a discussion about it (in quotes because discussions are never finished between mates, there is always room for revisiting something) 02:58 nepugia i was reffering to 02:58 nepugia >the lack of free/libre software to connect to it in usable state also worries me. 02:58 nepugia maybe define usable state then, since i think there are several that are already very usable, may need some polishing some have som ui issues, but in generall severall exist that can used nicely already 05:00 swift110-phone_ Hey guys 05:17 nepugia hello there 05:44 swift110-phone_ How are you nepugia 08:47 MinetestBot 02[git] 04lhofhansl -> 03minetest/minetest: Revert "Add an active object step time budget #6721" 13fad263d https://git.io/vNZ5l (152018-01-13T07:47:39Z) 09:17 dansndbx why is minetest dead on reddit? 09:37 lumberJ seems to be several current conversations, but maybe less so because it has its own forum? don't know 09:42 dansndbx could be, i was wondering cause the last "announcement" is 4 months old and there are not many comments at the last posted links. But it could have to do with the content ofc :D 09:44 lumberJ about 0.5? 09:45 lumberJ yeah, maybe. the minetest forums tend to be pretty active though 09:45 dansndbx yeah i checked them out yesterday 09:46 dansndbx its just this: every community has its own communication culture. i just need to fiure out the one fore minetest 09:46 lumberJ well, you more or less have. its mostly irc and the forums. 09:48 lumberJ this is the general discussion channel. most of the core developer/major mod discussions happen on #minetest-hub 09:54 dansndbx i see 09:54 dansndbx i cut my next video now :) 09:55 lumberJ dan11? 10:14 frostsnow Hmm is it me or are my pine saplings failing to grow because the dirt under them is becoming dirt_with_snow? 10:17 pgimeno_ I'd guess pines can grow on dirt_with_snow 10:20 frostsnow It's been weird ever since 0.4.16, some just refuse to grow. 10:21 frostsnow Bluh, looking at minetest_game/mods/default/nodes.lua it isn't in the 'soil' group, which is what 'can_grow' checks. 10:21 pgimeno_ (I haven't tried myself, it's just a guess) 10:21 pgimeno_ uh 10:22 lumberJ you may be right, frostnow 10:22 pgimeno_ so, you have snowy pine forests, but you can't make a sapling grow there... 10:22 lumberJ what version are you playing on? 10:23 frostsnow You *can*, but if the dirt changes to dirt_with_snow before the pine tree grows you're screwed. 10:23 frostsnow You have to dig the dirt and re-plant the sapling and hope the issue doesn't happen again. 10:23 frostsnow lumberJ: 0.4.16, as I said. 10:23 frostsnow I'll open a bug in GitHub 10:23 frostsnow I'm not seeing it in here oddly 10:24 frostsnow I find pine trees are the best for wood :) 10:26 dansndbx depends on what you want to build, frotnow :) 10:27 lumberJ it looks like possibly they just forgot to add the soil group 10:27 lumberJ since it is in all the other "dirt_with" nodes 10:27 dansndbx but if it comes down to cost/result i think jungle is better (cause bigger tree) 10:29 frostsnow dansndbx: You might actually be right, though that few I've harvested (not in a jungly area) were fairly short... thoguh you don't need to worry about snow killing the sapling (which can be worked-around by harvesting all the way up) 10:29 frostsnow lumberJ: It makes sense that regular and jungle trees wouldn't grow on snowy dirt, though. 10:30 lumberJ true 10:30 dansndbx or at least grow "slower" depending on the ground? 10:31 CWz for some reason my server no longer shows up on the server list 10:31 frostsnow I have a hard time imagining jungle trees growing on snowy soil at all :P 10:31 pgimeno_ for better realism, each kind of sapling could depend on temperature 10:31 lumberJ are you sure your router's ports are opened, CWz? 10:32 CWz my server has been on for over a year and routers aren't an issue since it hosted 10:32 lumberJ i see. have you messed with your minetest.conf at all recently? 10:33 CWz no 10:35 lumberJ hosted as in someone hosts it for you or you have it on a vps that you have full access to? 10:39 CWz I restarted the server which fixed the issue 10:40 lumberJ got you 10:45 dansndbx next video almost done :) 10:47 dansndbx Its up: https://youtu.be/IhNc33VlG7Y - I hope you like it!

First we had an outstanding conversation regarding whether to abort or clean (guess you were OK with cleaning), and second I didn’t realize you squashed, so I thought the messy history was included, but it wasn’t. 19:42 Hawk777 So it’s fine. 19:43 Hawk777 As long as you’re fine with cleaning instead of aborting. 19:43 numzero I’m fine with keeping cleaning for now 19:43 numzero because it was the way it worked before 19:44 Hawk777 Cool, thanks for the merge then! 20:19 stormchaser3000 yes i have made minecraft videos 20:19 stormchaser3000 oops 20:19 stormchaser3000 wrong channel 20:20 t20kdc Hawk777, numzero: \o/ less explodable stuff, finally! 21:00 Hawk777 It’s still explodable. Really that commit only fixed some easy stuff. Better though! 21:07 dansndbx I uploaded a minetest video: https://youtu.be/IhNc33VlG7Y - if u like it please leave a comment :)! 21:10 stormchaser3000 is there a way that i can change the fog colour when at or under a certain y position 21:10 stormchaser3000 ? 21:24 paramat well .. 21:25 paramat fog takes on the colour of the sky, and you can set a custom skybox 21:25 paramat not sure if you can only change fog without changing the skybox, possibly 21:26 paramat see the mods that alter the skybox 21:26 paramat there are a few that alter per-player it according to y position 21:27 paramat *alter it per-player 21:38 paramat maybe setting a plain colour skybox with alpha set to transparent will alter fog colour, just a guess 21:40 rubenwardy no 21:41 rubenwardy well, I doubt it 21:41 rubenwardy fog is rendered on top of things to fade them out 21:41 rubenwardy so changing the skybox will cause things to go to the fog color then to the sky box 21:46 paramat i doubt it too
