Time Nick Message 01:12 MTDiscord Is there any existing CDN infrastructure hosting minetest stuff? 01:28 MTDiscord Hmm no *buntu series 22.10 on stable ppa yet 01:51 diceLibrarian I have just done something horrifying 02:19 ball diceLibrarian: Jolly good. 03:05 rubenwardy @paradust: GitHub Pages is used for the website and blog 03:29 muurkha hmm, do you think entrusting Minetest's hosting to the vendor of Minecraft might be a bad idea? 03:32 MTDiscord It'd be hilarious if it actually made a difference 03:43 muurkha I'm thinking about FTDI's driver for their USB-to-serial converter chips which included malicious code to brick compatible clone chips made by competing companies, often built into devices whose makers thought they were buying FTDI chips 03:44 muurkha and the satellite TV broadcasters that inserted malicious code into their data stream to vandalize the equipment of people decoding their signal without their permission 03:46 muurkha DirecTV's Black Sunday Kill: https://blog.codinghorror.com/revisiting-the-black-sunday-hack/ 03:48 muurkha if at some point Microsoft decides that Minetest infringes some kind of exclusive rights of theirs, they could send cease and desist letters, or file a lawsuit, but if they're actually hosting the official Minetest codebase they wouldn't have to; they could just insert code into the distributed binary that erases all your worlds at a predetermined date and time 03:50 muurkha or uploads them to a Microsoft server to be scanned for "illegal content", or uploads the IPs of all the Minetest players so they can be blacklisted from Xbox Online 09:31 MTDiscord I think there's a higher chance that Microsoft will release Github Desktop for Linux than that, I mean, you see the kind of anomalies copilot dumps into your programs? 09:32 MTDiscord github desktop already exists for linux 09:32 MTDiscord it's literally just an electron app 09:33 MTDiscord Shiftkey's repo patches are not stock, I'm talking about going to that main page and seeing a Linux download section just like you have for vscode 13:10 MTDiscord It's literally just bloat 14:34 MTDiscord It’s litterally just chrome 20:54 epoch Hi 20:54 epoch I made a thing 20:55 epoch https://thebackupbox.net/~epoch/minetest.html 20:57 epoch I recently made it work all client-side so anyone can host it wherever they want 20:58 epoch no javascript libraries 21:00 epoch if the server list could update quicker, I could add a method to detect if clicking the "connect" button actually worked 21:00 epoch similar to how roblox does it 21:00 epoch but testing showed it took a couple minutes to update 21:02 MTDiscord do you have some kind of glue script for a minetest:// protocol that can launch minetest with --go, directly from the site? 21:03 MTDiscord You'd also need a way to input username and password... 21:07 epoch unless we're launching minetest URIs in a javascript port of minetest, it'd be better handled OS-side than in-browser 21:07 epoch on my computer I have my browser set to run a script for minetest links 21:08 epoch and that script asks for the username and password 21:08 epoch but yeah, I need to put a box for username in the server-list 21:08 epoch which would also help detect when the person is actually connected to the server.. 21:08 MTDiscord I just have my script create *.desktop entries so that they end up in my menu, and I have the username/password baked into each one for the particular server. 21:09 epoch I use $USER and it grabs the password from the secret-service that linux has. 21:10 ALIAS_MISSING hello? 21:10 epoch Hi
