00:26 Sven_vB nah, not sufficiently motivated atm
00:30 Sven_vB well, those CSM are useless for my usecase atm because my favorite server requests to disable CSM. overriding that would go in a grey area.
00:46 specing > <Sven_vB> we can then make MT a distributed computing platform, and maybe even add a block chain.
00:47 specing imagine the lag when all your actions have to be confirmed by a few mined blocks
00:47 erlehmann <Sven_vB> well, those CSM are useless for my usecase atm because my favorite server requests to disable CSM. overriding that would go in a grey area.
00:47 erlehmann lol
00:48 erlehmann Sven_vB disabling assistive technologies is a courtesy at most
00:49 Sven_vB it's all about how reasonable people are. if I were entirely reasonable, I just wouldn't play there. :D
00:52 calcul0n__ joined #minetest
00:54 erlehmann Sven_vB why would anyone ask people to turn CSMs off?
00:54 erlehmann i think waspsaliva contains an autoclicker for laggy servers
00:55 erlehmann it just clicks on the items until you get them
00:55 erlehmann not sure though
01:01 Sven_vB erlehmann, dunno, I don't fully understand their views and considerations. I just adapt to them to the extent that my motivation and time allow.
01:03 erlehmann Sven_vB, just use waspsaliva
01:07 Verticen joined #minetest
01:09 Sven_vB I might consider it another day
01:10 Sven_vB problem is, whenever I'm in a reasonable enough mood to try waspaliva, it goes far enough as to not play MT but do more productive things. =)

09:15 independent56 I can't wait until someone confuses "i am running a server" with "i am running a supercomputer".
09:16 Noclip[m] Who doesn't have a supercomputer in their basement?
09:17 independent56 i knowwww! imgaine not having the budget to do so!
09:17 Noclip[m] Poor losers I guess.
09:18 independent56 But seriously, i would pu my supercomputer outside, and build a shelter for it. Like most datacentres do.
09:19 independent56 And imagine being so cheap you use a 32 bit underpowered computer as your server XD (totallynotme)
09:22 Noclip[m] independent56: Imagine building a computer outside without a shelter xD
09:22 Noclip[m] s/computer/supercomputer
09:22 independent56 Welll, you build the supercomputer, and then build a warehouse around it. Which explains why google's datacentres are in california.
09:24 Noclip[m] I'd probably start with the warehouse and add the computer after that ...
09:27 independent56 What if you build it with feet instead of metres? you need to build the compuiter first then size the warehouse for it.
09:27 Noclip[m] What if it rains?
09:28 independent56 You check the weather first, obviously
09:29 Noclip[m] And then at that day weather predictions turn out to be wrong, lol.
09:29 independent56 I guess you make the computer waterproof
09:30 Noclip[m] "Hey, look at our super expensive supercomputer, it's swimming over there ..."
09:30 Noclip[m] independent56: I thought that would be the job of the warehouse, lol.
09:31 independent56 Which is why you build the warehouse. The order in which you buildboth is debateable.
09:31 independent56 i still haven't built adedicated warehouse for my server.
09:31 Noclip[m] First the warehouse and then the supercomputer ...
09:32 independent56 What if you run out of budget building the warehouse?
09:32 Noclip[m] You usually also build first your house and then put stuff into it, not the other way around!
09:32 independent56 Well a house and computer are entirely different
09:33 independent56 its like comparing a tree and houseplant. the tree is waterproof and can go outside.
09:34 Noclip[m] Which plants are not waterproof?
09:36 independent56 It depends on what you define as water. If you define water as a clear liquid, then plants are not waterproof
09:36 Noclip[m] I define water as water?!
09:38 Noclip[m] H2O
09:39 independent56 Well, it depends on purity. Pure water is actually quite dangerous
09:39 Noclip[m] independent56: You know, this thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water
09:40 independent56 And of course, if the water is boiling, it could easily kill a plant
09:40 Noclip[m] Not sure where you live that it rains boiling water ...
09:41 Noclip[m] Which apparently also doesn't seem to make that much sense.
09:41 independent56 We aren't talking about rain; that's wheatherproofinh
09:42 Noclip[m] I was initially talking about rain ...
09:43 independent56 eh, i still think my server is fine without a warehous
09:43 longerstaff13 joined #minetest
09:43 Noclip[m] Your server is weatherproof then?
09:45 independent56 Yes. Somehow, it stays underneath the router in my didning room and rain has no effect on it.
09:46 Noclip[m] Because it's not outside?!
09:47 Noclip[m] "Well, it depends on purity. Pure water is actually quite dangerous"
09:47 Noclip[m] independent56: No, it's not.
09:47 independent56 Again, it depends onwhat you define as outside. My server is exposed to air, and there is air ojutside. Thus, it's outside
09:47 independent56 Impure water is even more dangerous
09:48 Noclip[m] Depends on what you mean by impure.
09:48 Noclip[m] Also stop pretending you wouldn't understand what I mean ...
09:51 independent56 I do understand what you mean. It depends on what you define as understand.
09:51 Noclip[m] You know exactly what I mean with "outside" ...
09:52 independent56 And yeah, i think a server should be inside a warehouse. Waterproofing dosnen't always work,and i wouldn't trust these IRC logs to some waterproofed datacentre
09:52 Noclip[m] independent56: I see, you're trying to troll me ...
09:52 independent56 I am taking advantage of ambiguities within the english language and a depenence on context.
09:53 independent56 I think that's what happened to homeland. The server corrupted due to inneficent weatherproofing
09:54 Noclip[m] Most parts of non-formal languages aren't defined properly if at all.
09:54 independent56 I guess we all have to speak lawerspeak.
09:55 Noclip[m] They're still using our non-formal languages.
09:55 Noclip[m] Examples for formal languages are math and computer languages.
09:58 independent56 i guess we allhave to speak lobjan
10:02 Noclip[m] independent56: You mean lojban? That doesn't seem to be a formal language either.
10:02 independent56 Well it has no ambiguity
10:02 independent56 close enough
10:04 Noclip[m] Actually there might be fairly good definitions for most words of most languages but they are encoded in some sort of weird proprietary format inside the human brain.
10:05 Noclip[m] And while we humans seem to be able to work somewhat sufficiently with those definitions we aren't really able to export them in a clean way.
10:13 independent56 I think we should focus less on the hardware and more  on the software - how does this webserver goso quickly? How is this minetest server able to run so quick? Why does this server have extremely slow mapblock load times?
10:14 independent56 Actually reject that, i was wrong. Most of these are down to hardware

14:32 erlehmann sfan5 is there any way to tell a node to please run its run-always-on-load LBM specifically?
14:32 sfan5 for a single node?
14:32 erlehmann use case: i use a vmanip to take nodes from a location and put them somewhere else
14:32 sfan5 ah I think you mentioned this before
14:32 erlehmann yes for a single node or the whole area
14:32 erlehmann it breaks on nodes that generate accompanying entities
14:33 erlehmann like, uh, mineclone2 chests
14:33 erlehmann but also prob enchantment tables
14:33 erlehmann the book on the table is an entity
14:33 sfan5 look into minetest.registered_lbms and call the ones that match
14:33 erlehmann banners too have a node and the banner entity is generated
14:33 erlehmann oh hmm good idea
14:33 erlehmann thank you!
14:34 erlehmann sfan5 i can just … call them? without any ill effects?
14:34 sfan5 basically yes
14:34 sfan5 you can do that with almost all things, just provide it the arguments it expects

19:35 independent_ If i were to repalce my server with a desktop compiter, wouldtht be better?
19:41 Krock yes sure because upright shapes can run faster than flat, laid down ones
19:41 Krock (this is sarcasm btw)
19:44 independent_ Well, my server is a 32 bit, decade old webbook. And a desktop ould be relitively modern
19:51 specing why not replace it with a pentium 32-bit desktop?
19:54 longerstaff13 joined #minetest
19:54 MTDiscord <Warr1024> I've had good luck just buying refurb office desktop machines for like $150 to $200 on amazon.  They run solidly enough for servers, though part of why I like them is because it's easy to expand the fleet with commodity hardware like that.
19:59 Krock ^ this. take a semi-recent office PC and throw a mid-tier GPU and PSU in, and you're good to go. Avoid Dell though.
20:00 specing_ joined #minetest
20:00 independent_ Why no dell??
20:01 Krock their office PCs are likely to have proprietary cabling and connectors
20:02 independent_ Ah, so it's not failure issues. That's why my grandmother reccomends dell (she used a dell for a decade!)
20:02 MTDiscord <Jordach> do avoid dell
20:02 MTDiscord <Jordach> me and rubenwardy can tell you this
20:03 Krock add me in
20:03 MTDiscord <Jordach> my XPS 15's display has now died just after free servicing period ended
20:03 independent_ wow
20:04 independent_ Well, time to go desktop shopping!
20:04 independent_ What site do you reccomend?
20:04 jonadab Eh, Dell is pretty typical of large OEMs.
20:05 MTDiscord <Jordach> their laptops are arse
20:05 jonadab Granted, if you want all off-the-shelf components, large OEMs are not usually the way to go.
20:05 MTDiscord <Jordach> hell if you want a decent cheap desktop with bang for buck the M1 Mac Mini is that way
20:05 jonadab I heard a rumor that there's a company trying to make a fully standardized laptop out of all standard components.
20:05 MTDiscord <Jordach> you mean Clevo
20:06 MTDiscord <Jordach> Clevo makes those desktop replacement chassis
20:06 MTDiscord <Jordach> battery life does take a nose dive like football players
20:07 independent_ Now i think of it, all memories of desktop computers had the dell logo (except for the stone computer desktops)
20:07 kamdard_ joined #minetest
20:12 independent_ Maybe i shouldn't take computer advice from my grandmother
20:23 rubenwardy I'm happy with my Dell laptop apart from the fact that it needed to be serviced 5 times, due to manufacturing errors. They don't do much QA
20:24 rubenwardy A pretty big "apart from"
20:24 jonadab Laptops in general are pants, though needing to have one serviced five times under warranty sounds worse than average.
20:26 rubenwardy It was for the same issue
20:26 rubenwardy Finally was fixed
20:26 rubenwardy Looks like the original motherboard and the first replacement motherboard were broken
20:27 rubenwardy But the second replacement worked...
20:29 independent_ My ASUS absolutely sucks. It used to creak a lot, and it's fan was on the hook. Now there is a loosenes on the bottom of the screen.
20:30 rubenwardy I got a Dell XPS 9370, their latest flagship laptop at the time
20:31 rubenwardy They sell them to businesses, I imagine they get better QA
20:31 independent_ But it works as a computer. And it performs better then mum's old one (When she commented about it when she used it forsome workas her computer would not connect tothe internet on the ferry)
