12:26 sfan5 erlehmann: here's a fun one you should be glad Minetest doesn't have https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2021/12/minecraft-and-other-apps-face-serious-threat-from-new-code-execution-bug
12:27 sfan5 "fun"
12:27 MTDiscord <Sublayer plank> oh man
12:33 tech_exorcist joined #minetest

12:38 erlehmann sfan5 i already told my coworkers hours ago. i do not work on fridays, they to. fun times!
12:38 erlehmann (for values of “fun” that dwarf fortress players would accept, but no one else.)
12:40 tech_exorcist joined #minetest
12:41 erlehmann sfan5, to paraphrase you: I don't think we want knobs to turn off random features. Especially not because of the whole "artistic direction in exploits" thing, if the game/mod author wants the game exploitable it's not up to the server to ignore that.
12:41 erlehmann https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/11848#issuecomment-989820773 ;)
12:41 erlehmann the code execution thing is actually a feature of log4j. why minecraft authors left it on? no idea lol
12:43 erlehmann apparently even icloud left it on
12:44 erlehmann i meant “i do not work on fridays, they do.“
12:45 erlehmann anyone has christmas chest textures to donate? otherwise i make my own

18:05 MTDiscord <twoelk> just learnt some more excel formulas to calculate dates  and now nows his first homepage went online 23 years 2 months and 5 days ago
18:06 erlehmann oh yes, excel, that one that often things that something is a date
18:07 erlehmann be sure to not confuse it with incel (also often assuming something is a date)
18:16 MTDiscord <twoelk> yeah, had often entries destroyed/converted because excel asumed something and autochanged the format without asking
18:17 erlehmann for date calculations, i would use python btw.
18:19 erlehmann In [1]: from datetime import datetime, timedelta
18:19 erlehmann In [2]: print(datetime.now() - datetime(year=2020, month=2, day=20))
18:19 erlehmann 659 days, 19:19:40.708933
18:24 MTDiscord <twoelk> nah, just making excel templates for use with our crm at office
18:25 erlehmann oof
18:25 MTDiscord <twoelk> looks a lot sleeker though
18:26 MTDiscord <twoelk> would have thought ms had something better intigrated into it's office flagships
18:26 MTDiscord <twoelk> I mean yours looks sleeker
18:30 turtleman joined #minetest
18:31 Fleckenstein joined #minetest
18:34 erlehmann twoelk its not about look, but about how fast i get to results
18:59 MTDiscord <twoelk> code is not about looks?

19:24 erlehmann does anyone here know how to talk to websocket from a mod?
19:25 erlehmann if you can teach me, i make a game for the game jam
19:25 erlehmann a very minimal one
19:32 MTDiscord <Warr1024> I know how to get as far as using luasockets to talk to an external program via TCP or unix-domain sockets; if you did that, then to talk to a websocket you'd need that external thing to act as a proxy.
19:32 MTDiscord <Benrob0329> There is probably a websocket module on Luarocks
19:32 MTDiscord <Warr1024> There's an HTTP fetch library that's build into MT and available with MUCH less messing around, but I think you'd probably have to use long-polling to make that work.
19:33 MTDiscord <Warr1024> There's no "zero config" option, but the best you could do is probably with long-polling where you'd only need to add the mod to the HTTP allow-list.
19:33 erlehmann well i want to connect minetest to intiface
19:33 erlehmann and intiface speaks websocket only AFAIK
19:33 MTDiscord <Warr1024> ha
19:33 MTDiscord <Benrob0329> You'll need either a websocket library or a proxy then
19:33 MTDiscord <Warr1024> to do long-polling then you'd probably need to make a proxy or something.
19:34 erlehmann like i want to make a masochist mod where the vibrator vibes whenever you take damage in game
19:34 erlehmann and a sadist mod
19:34 erlehmann and a griefer mod where it vibes whenever you light a tnt
19:34 erlehmann :D
19:35 erlehmann well i think some mods do actually speak websocket, do they all have proxies?
19:35 erlehmann like isn't discord websocket?
19:35 MTDiscord <Warr1024> you should really file a bug report with intiface.  Assuming that websockets are usable through any reverse proxy is probably something that today's internet is not yet ready for; they should provide a fallback.
19:36 erlehmann websockets are very usable
19:36 MTDiscord <Benrob0329> I think this might break CDB policy, but hey thats not my jurisdiction-
19:36 erlehmann i have literally controlled someones vibe via tor
19:36 MTDiscord <Warr1024> Stuff that's designed to be self-hosted usually comes with a long-polling option because not all reverse proxies do websockets.  Stuff that's proprietary may not though because they assume they control both endpoints.
19:36 erlehmann Benrob0329 intiface is just a thing to add rumble support to stuff. you can connect xbox-controllers to it.
19:37 MTDiscord <Benrob0329> Ah
19:37 MTDiscord <Benrob0329> Sorry, I've heard of...other libraries
19:37 erlehmann no no, you are thinking right. it is part of the buttplug.io community
19:38 MTDiscord <Benrob0329> Oh
19:38 erlehmann but the thing is, it's not particular about what you connect to it
19:38 tech_exorcist joined #minetest
19:38 MTDiscord <Benrob0329> Anyways, I'm gonna go..literally anywhere else now
19:39 erlehmann actually, intiface is probably the easiest way to add rumble support to minetest
19:39 MTDiscord <Warr1024> Is this a one-way protocol?  Because when you talk about controller rumble, it makes me think of INPUT devices that have force-feedback, which last I checked, things that plug into you aren't normally.  Unless now they are?
19:40 MTDiscord <Warr1024> It's relevant because it makes me wonder why they would need websockets if the device doesn't need to generate input events.
19:40 MTDiscord <Warr1024> And it also suggests that if there IS input capability then you could come up with a pretty innovative control interface for your game.
19:40 MTDiscord <Warr1024> MT's keybinding options have always been a little lackluster.
19:41 erlehmann intiface is, as far as i know, only „vibrate device x with power y“ or “rotate actuator by z degrees”
19:42 erlehmann so the existing rumble experiments i have had were literally just sending out how much power went into the vibrating motor and then sleep()
19:42 erlehmann oh you need websockets to know if the device is still on
19:43 erlehmann and get sensor data maybe?
19:43 erlehmann but i have no idea
19:43 erlehmann let me look it up
19:43 MTDiscord <Warr1024> Holding the sneak key to avoid falling off the edge of a platform is fine and all, but what your talking about would provide a much more intuitive input for it.
19:43 erlehmann clenching your butt to prevent falling off a high ledge? xD
19:44 erlehmann well if you have any supported device, try https://github.com/intiface/intiface-desktop
19:45 MTDiscord <Warr1024> Haha, I don't even remotely have a supported device :-D
19:45 MTDiscord <Warr1024> I had to google it, and I was surprised at how extensive of an ecosystem there is around this.
19:45 erlehmann this is what is known as the long tail lol
19:46 MTDiscord <Warr1024> XD
19:46 erlehmann oh btw, did you know google has only ever a few hundred search results?
19:46 ronoaldo joined #minetest
19:46 erlehmann it shocked me when i found out a few days ago
19:46 erlehmann like they say they have millions
19:46 erlehmann try to go to page 20 or so of the search results
19:46 erlehmann it turns out for any query they only show like a few hundred
19:46 erlehmann and also most of them are SEO spam
19:47 erlehmann the long tail of google search results literally does not exist
19:47 MTDiscord <Warr1024> https://xkcd.com/1334/
19:47 erlehmann oh it is different
19:48 erlehmann i am not enraged about that it is useless
19:48 erlehmann but that they lied to me
19:48 erlehmann like minetest lied to me about tool uses!
19:48 erlehmann i had a wooden axe and it said it had 33 uses, but I COULD MINE 34 nodes with it!!!
19:48 erlehmann the engine is committing literal fraud at this point (yeah i know, it has been fixed)
19:49 MTDiscord <Warr1024> IIRC Wuzzy has a PR open for that, but it's so damn complex that everyone's scared to review it.
19:49 sys4 joined #minetest
19:50 MTDiscord <Warr1024> Oh, did that get merged finally?  I though I was watching it but didn't get a notification of changes
19:50 erlehmann the problem is that we still need a function to calculate the number of tool uses
19:50 erlehmann a friend of mine called the axe
19:51 erlehmann bresenham's axe
19:51 erlehmann bc that's literally wuzzy's solution to this
19:51 erlehmann like bresenham line drawing
19:53 MTDiscord <Warr1024> sounds about right
