04:35 DeepT another benefit of rolling release distros, no horribly "cutesy" release names
04:35 DeepT i hate that crap so much, idk and i dont wanna know wtf "jammy jellyfish" is
04:35 DeepT version numbers are rational, stupid names are not
04:35 DeepT thank you for attending my ted talk

06:15 DeepT apparently manually editing /etc/apt/sources.list to add the newest ubuntu version repos is ~ to do-release-upgrade
06:18 lissobone I have to come out of the closet.
06:26 MTDiscord <luatic> DeepT: I doubt that

08:35 DeepT <luatic> DeepT: I doubt that
08:35 DeepT tell that to my working ubuntu upgrade
08:36 DeepT for various reasons of china's fault it was the only way
08:41 MTDiscord <luatic> DeepT: It seems to be how Debian folks usually upgrade their OS's, but the do-release-upgrade tool does more.
08:41 MTDiscord <luatic> Not sure if "more" necessarily is "better" though. It definitely breaks stuff often.
08:42 DeepT from a glance at the source code it doesnt do much that id want/need
08:42 DeepT ...like most of ubuntu
08:42 DeepT or debian for that matter :P
08:53 hmmmm joined #minetest
08:54 MTDiscord <luatic> Honestly I think like 2/3 times I did do-release-upgrade I regretted it lol
08:54 MTDiscord <luatic> But I think the last time it half-worked?

16:53 MTDiscord <cora> nah debian people just have "testing" as the release and run apt upgrade
16:54 MTDiscord <cora> i guess they would do that in the rare cases they run stable though
16:54 MTDiscord <cora> but you can simply put stable as well
16:55 MTDiscord <cora> and it should work
16:55 MTDiscord <cora> in theory no editing of sources.list is ever required hehe
17:03 kabou just put "sid" in your sources.list
17:04 kabou i think it's been more than 20 years ago since they last broke libc
17:04 kabou that was fun
17:05 definitelya_ joined #minetest
17:16 DeepT i started with an old broken as hell banana pi w2 image
17:16 DeepT getting it into a working, updated system  was a fun expereince
17:18 MTDiscord <paradust> Looking for advice how to fix this the right way. For minetest web, I need a way to launch the client, create a new world, and start the game, in one shot. The command-line --gameid <game> --go doesn't work unless there's an existing world. So I added a bit of code to directly create the world in this situation:
17:18 MTDiscord <paradust> https://github.com/paradust7/minetest/commit/62e885147dc07dc09cb45d0f6c8940be616f1715?diff=split#diff-ea7e5163c3659f6bf4bce96c4d955d28c454191010572cce541f8f3fab11887a
17:20 MTDiscord <paradust> This works in most cases, but since it completely bypasses the builtin menu, there's a problem with the configuration option allowed_mapgens, which is only ever read by the main menu code.
17:24 debiankaios joined #minetest
17:28 MTDiscord <paradust> For example, nonsensical_skyblock, which requires singlenode, ends up using the wrong mapgen

19:48 FavoritoHJS How I can be optimist about the future when even our saviors are influenced by the same people who are killing us? I fear efforts are best spent not on saving mankind now, but accepting we're completely fucked and ensuring that after the end times we can return to "not fucked" in decades and not centuries.
19:49 MTDiscord <luatic> who is killing you? you seem very much alive to me
19:50 FavoritoHJS nothing right now, but climate change, authoritarianism, et al will in the future
19:50 MTDiscord <luatic> the end is already a decade late - wasn't it supposed to be in 2012 or something?
19:50 MTDiscord <luatic> again Favorito, you're massively exaggerating the current state of affairs here
19:50 MTDiscord <luatic> we're not at all "completely fucked"
19:51 FavoritoHJS i would... if we would do shit
19:51 FavoritoHJS we won't
19:51 FavoritoHJS there's no money here, and there won't be until it won't matter anymore
19:51 MTDiscord <luatic> No.
19:52 FavoritoHJS welcome to the denial phase of grief
19:53 MTDiscord <luatic> hah
19:53 muurkha well, each of us will die
19:54 MTDiscord <luatic> Your line of thought is not new; we've been there already: People calling for an apocalypse hoping that it might serve as a catharsis for mankind
19:54 muurkha not clear that the death rate under authoritarianism is higher
19:54 MTDiscord <luatic> This attitude is a self-fulfilling prophecy
19:54 MTDiscord <luatic> (Favorito's attitude that is)
19:55 MTDiscord <luatic> FavoritoHJS: If you tried to base your statements on facts, you'd quickly see how it all fades away in uncertainity
19:56 muurkha maybe in a marginal sense: conceivably we could abolish death if we work hard enough on it, which is unlikely to happen if we regard the effort as futile
19:56 muurkha but almost everyone born has already died
19:56 FavoritoHJS ok, how many of the tecnologies, policies, peoples that will save us are sponsored by self-serving plutocrats?
19:57 muurkha and the effort to abolish death seems like a bit of a long shot even if it's prioritized
19:57 muurkha climate change would be a pretty bad problem if we kept burning fossil fuels and not doing geoengineering, but that's not the direction we'll go
19:58 Krock me burning coal in the furnace actually causes CO2 emissions
19:58 muurkha the self-serving plutocrats are investing in massive wind farms, solar power plants, and perhaps most importantly, advances in PV panel manufacturing
19:58 MTDiscord <luatic> muurkha: Even considering the worst case of "humans act as dumb as possible", it's a problem that would ultimately solve itself due to the negative feedback loop ;)
19:59 muurkha yeah, I think that's what FavoritoHJS is worried about ;)
19:59 muurkha also it might end up solving itself the way it did on Venus, where negative feedback stabilized the climate at a much higher temperature
19:59 Niklp joined #minetest
19:59 MTDiscord <luatic> Worst case might indeed be a drastic decline of the population, but anyone who speaks of "the end" or "extinction" is just laughable; such scenarios are far from plausible, even considering the absolute worst case
20:00 FavoritoHJS thus why I said "I fear efforts are best spent not on saving mankind now, but accepting we're completely fucked and ensuring that after the end times we can return to "not fucked" in decades and not centuries."
20:00 muurkha There are lots of possible human extinction scenarios, but climate change probably isn't one of them.
20:00 FavoritoHJS but it will kill modern civilization dead in the water
20:01 MTDiscord <luatic> What a bold claim
20:01 FavoritoHJS global shipping chains, anyone?
20:01 FavoritoHJS do you remember how badly they broke down under covid?
20:01 FavoritoHJS Imagine that, but even worse
20:01 MTDiscord <luatic> Why? I suppose rising sea levels should aid shipping ;)
20:02 muurkha i do remember.  i'm imagining it.  it didn't produce even a single regional famine
20:02 FavoritoHJS But it will drown all the ports and make most living areas uninhabitable
20:02 MTDiscord <luatic> what
20:02 muurkha Yes, in like 100 years
20:02 MTDiscord <luatic> why would it "drown the ports"
20:02 muurkha Because ports are mostly at sea level, and a few meters of sea level rise are expected
20:02 MTDiscord <luatic> also if living areas become uninhabitable I suppose people will have to find new living areas, gradually
20:03 FavoritoHJS if they can
20:03 FavoritoHJS spoiler: most of the poor won't, and guess who produces our stuff
20:03 MTDiscord <luatic> Not only the poor people produce stuff
20:04 sfan5 paradust: it sounds like this issue would already exist with minetestserver and --world
20:04 muurkha Poor people can walk inland too
20:04 muurkha Mostly rich people produce our stuff
20:04 FavoritoHJS and then live where? plus, it could be too hot as well
20:04 muurkha Sea level rise is 3.7 mm a year: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_level_rise
20:04 sfan5 allowed_mapgens support should either be added to the C++ side, or better some glue code added that allows the C++ to call the "create a world with the right stuff" parts of builtin/mainmenu
20:06 muurkha https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_level_rise#Projections_for_the_21st_century says the projected range of sea level rise by 02100 is 300–1200 mm, or 2400 mm if Antarctica melts
20:06 FavoritoHJS Plus, do you think the chaos that will be produced from a good chunk of the worlds population will bode well for the continued upkeep of production?
20:09 muurkha It's certainly going to be a tumultuous century
20:09 FavoritoHJS They'll revolt due to a lack of resources needed to live, and will revolt harder when they aren't provided -- or worse, diverted elsewhere.
20:09 FavoritoHJS tumultuous will be an understatement
20:09 FavoritoHJS i fear silicon-age collapse will be a better one
20:09 muurkha I might even say fascinating
20:10 muurkha I'm pretty confident in predicting that pretty much everyone born before 01980 will die this century
20:10 muurkha I mean, of those who are still alive!
20:10 muurkha Even without any catastrophes.
20:12 muurkha There will surely be a lot of revolts, as there were in the 20th century, and the 19th century, and the 18th century.
20:13 muurkha Probably some big genocides, too.
20:14 muurkha Hopefully not, of course, but probably so.  The 20th century had the biggest genocides and wars the world had ever seen.  So did the 19th century (though the word "genocide" hadn't been invented yet) until they were eclipsed by those of the 20th.
20:16 muurkha Climate change is a huge problem, but it's not technically unsolvable.  It's "just" a question of coordination.
20:19 FavoritoHJS coordination that doesn't exist, and won't exist until it's too late.
20:24 Niklp joined #minetest
20:27 muurkha Too late for you, but not for civilization.
20:27 Niklp joined #minetest
20:28 muurkha Someone born today would be 76 years old at the turn of the century; they have a better than even chance of being dead by then.

21:05 DeepT <muurkha> Climate change is a huge problem, but it's not technically unsolvable.  It's "just" a question of coordination.
21:06 DeepT you cannot fix climate change, the climate is always changing
21:08 DeepT https://www.climate.gov/sites/default/files/styles/full_width_620_original_image/public/graph-from-scott-wing-620px.png
21:11 DeepT that being said, im not pro pollution. I dont wanna eat microplastics, i dont wanna breathe a bunch of nasty air
21:11 DeepT i just don't see the point in being alarmed by something out of our control
21:17 proller joined #minetest
21:23 DeepT interestingly enough, stopping international trade would reduce global emissions by 20-30% according to WTO's figures
21:25 DeepT id be curious to see also how on-shoring trade would effect other secondary emmissions problems, cause currently we manufacture in countries with worse pollution issues, the % of emissons that could be reduced could be even higher with ending the global economy
21:42 muurkha 'worse pollution issues' generally means conventional pollution, things like perchloroethylene in the river and unburned hydrocarbons in the air, not CO₂
21:42 proller joined #minetest
21:54 DeepT true, id hazard a guess that china/india etc have less stringent emissions requirements than say, the usa or canada
21:54 DeepT i have no data on that though
21:54 muurkha in general it's the opposite, but there's a lot of variation
21:55 muurkha the biggest difference I think, having lived in only one of those four countries, is that in USA and Canada what you can do is determined by official regulations
21:56 FavoritoHJS does a law exist if no-one enforces it?
22:06 muurkha the problem isn't that no one enforces laws in India or China
22:08 DeepT ya which is why we shouldnt manufacture there :P
22:09 DeepT on shore we can oversee env regulation compliance, child labor, etc
22:10 muurkha I doubt you can
22:10 DeepT i mean, it wont be perfect because nothing is, but not having the problem be across the world helps
22:10 DeepT either way, im far too off topic i think :P
22:11 definitelya__ I post-ironically support a Greta New World Order™.
22:11 DeepT lol
22:11 definitelya__ Every culture and nation can do as they please, but a worldwide authority forbids excessive pollution and nuclear warfare.
22:12 definitelya__ Easy right? :(
22:12 DeepT nuclear warfare takes care of excess population efficently though, and as humans drive climate change
22:12 DeepT nukes are a good thing
22:12 DeepT since we are on post irony now
22:12 definitelya__ uhm, let's agree to disagree...
22:13 definitelya__ Oh right
22:14 DeepT <definitelya__> uhm, let's agree to disagree...
22:15 DeepT i don't agree to that whatsoever :P
22:15 definitelya__ Ye
22:17 DeepT i entirely give up on putting wiregaurd on this banana pi
22:17 DeepT stupid thing uses a custom kernel, no kernel headers available
22:18 DeepT im not installing docker to grab an ubuntu 16 build env to build a new kernel with the needed modules, ill install it to my old rasp pi instead
