cisco packet tracer was specifically created to annoy me with the completely random set of functionality it does not implement

Everybody who makes AI agents that try to mimick human behaviour is going to hell along with your shitty fucking robots

when im in a bikeshedding competition and my opponent is freedesktop

minecraft player update: I fucking died because of that radiation accident and it was an enriching experience. 7/10 would experience again

minecraft server update: we had an actual radiation accident

a nice thing about when the internet was a bunch of little sites and servers was that it was a lot harder for governments to pressure "the chat provider everyone uses" to implement age verification. you wanna pressure 300 separate IRC servers? good luck with that. but one company? easy

With @roomy.space every chat space could be on a different server, but doesn't has to be. It works a lot like an ATProto PDS! Each space has a DID, and can be migrated to other hosting just like an ATProto account. And you'll be able to seamlessly join different spaces on different servers.

at this point im convinced the real solution is either extending xmpp to support group chats in the style of discord or some sort of very lightweight protocol designed with the assumption all of the chats for one guild exist on one server

fuck this we're moving to steam chat

can someone please make an xmpp client that doesn't suck

When I was hosting a Minecraft server, I gave a friend operator permsfor a single second in order to hack job something, and within that second she created a Knockback 67 stick called the "Goku Stick" and tried to gaslight the server into thinking it doesn't exist

most cheated items: fully enchanted netherite gear my cheated items:

running a shitty windows game on linux, stored on a network share hosted on a mac mini i stole from work. because fuck you, your load times, and your network card, that's why.

update: people on the server now have creative flight

oh thats fucking awesome someone mail bombed my personal account

modded minecraft is very silly because the server goes from relatively normal to someone building the LHC in their back yard

who decided that ipv4 localhost needs 16 million addresses

i did some off camera mining

Does a kinect strapped to an HMD count as welding goggles

i should bring back my cs2 server now that i've got minecraft stable

i've ran multiple minecraft servers in my life and i finally managed to put together one that doesn't chug on worldgen and didn't require a weeks worth of fixes

minecraft server under qemu kvm pro tip: boot your guest kernel with `nohz=off highres=off` otherwise one core of your host's cpu is gonna be pinned to 100% ask me how i know :)

running a game server off of a machine in your basement has a completely different vibe than doing it with a cloud provider

anyway i got that working now

currently in the middle of hand rolling dynamic dns because i don't want to be editing zone files every time a dynamic IP changes

can't get over how absurdly expensive cloud compute is compared to just getting a cheap pc and throwing some vms on it i'm starting up my game servers again and a mini pc at home is the only way i'm not gonna be spending an absolute fortune

OH: nix-seven

OH: jtagged steam client

i should try incusos out if i ever build a cluster i currently run incus on top of nixos for my homelab and its been extremely reliable as a virtualization and containerization platform

reminder to throw a few bucks toward any open source project you actively use on a daily basis software is very expensive to develop and open source devs could really use all of the support they can get

tailscale.com/blog/absolut... i still think about this blog post from time to time

my pds should now be in a state where its fully running on its own box barring the infra for tls certs to the 7 other people on my pds: thank you for putting up with the periods of downtime while i got this sorted out. should hopefully be the last of it for a while barring kernel updates

eats your color wheel

i have now migrated every single service of mine to upcloud ...except for email

am i right to assume cybersecurity deals with a shit load of acronyms that mean nothing to those outside of the field

really hoping upcloud gets back to me about smtp soon so i can migrate the rest of my infra rn its currently half migrated with tailscale keeping things working on the networking side

another day using my computer with FreeBSD operating system, not L*nux, I Hate L*nux

yeah i ended up deciding to full commit to upcloud and am now migrating everything to it

@upcloud.com's "clicker" promo code still works...

anyone know of a decent cloud provider that doesn't charge for bandwidth currently looking at upcloud but idk if they take USD, and i'll be taking a latency hit if i went with them

ipv6 vs ipv4: ipv6 can't access github ipv6 can't access bluesky conclusion: ipv6 wins

tried to go ipv6 only on my lan again and once again came to the conclusion its better to run dual stack

cisco is the type of company to make really good networking hardware and software and then kneecap it with absurd licensing requirements
