This is confusing. So, Luanti is basically a clone of Minecraft? The docs say how to download the basic platform, and then to download any game.
But where do you start? There’s no recommended or default game or world?

Imagine being so much snowflake that a simple font upsets you. Words fail.
- Comment on When washing, should I turn garments inside out? 2 weeks ago:
Recent studies by consumer organisations indicate that washing at “cold” is just as effective as higher temperatures, for everyday clothing. But it saves a ton of energy and is a lot cheaper.

- Comment on How many virtual machines can you nest? 2 weeks ago:
I’m thinking what if you created a Docker container that contained just Docker. Then you could run that container within itself, recursively. Much easier than starting from zero at every level.

Mr Litch, reading your response was incredibly satisfying. Giving such a wonderful long-form response to a fairly simple question is remarkable. Thank you so much!

Yeah, biggest product feature for me, and when they dropped it I dropped them.
Why can’t we habe nice things? It’s all going to shit. Either because of greedy corpos, or because of bad people (sometimes one is caused by the other).

Just use Notepad++ instead?
- Comment on CopyParty is kind of a great file server 3 weeks ago:
I checked my setup, and webDAV is indeed what I am using. Good that they made it impossible to accidentally use an unsafe method.
Thank you for the explanation!

Isn’t SMB the thing that makes it available to Windows? What’s the issue?
- Comment on How do I not kill my Iomega ZIP drive I just got? (The experiences I've heard of scare me) 3 weeks ago:
Zip drives are known for the “Click of death” sound. If you hear it, it’s dead. You could probably google that term.
- Comment on same shit every day, on god 3 weeks ago:
It only feels odd because that is genuinely an incredibly effective means of generation, and we found it very early on because steam is so fundamental. Nothing wrong with sticking to the best method ever discovered.
- Comment on same shit every day, on god 3 weeks ago:
Yeah but photovoltaic has a yield of less than 50% even for the best panels. Lots of waste there, compared to steam.
- Comment on CopyParty is kind of a great file server 3 weeks ago:
Copyparty was mentioned here just the other day, and I started using it this weekend. There were comments about security risks though, based on being a small project with a LOT of integrations. Hit sure how safe I feel.
Docker path mapping is needed to let Copyparty show the files I want to access. I run my containers on a server next to my NAS that hosts my files; that’s a little complicated.

If only it were mentioned in some article or something…

You clearly didn’t even look at the article. It’s literally the first point they made.
- Comment on Flights disrupted after Airbus discovers intense sun radiation could impact flight control data 3 weeks ago:
The articles I saw mentioned that it would be fixed in software.
- Comment on Flights disrupted after Airbus discovers intense sun radiation could impact flight control data 3 weeks ago:
I work in the software industry and I have a guess regarding what the might do to “fix” the problem.
First, we look for the cause, but in this case it is external: we can’t prevent solar flares. So we will turn to mitigation instead:
Data gets flaky and erratic unter radiation, so what we would do is to double- and triple-check the data bits. By adding more levels of data correction, more bits can be wrong and we can still figure what it was supposed to be.
Adding more corrections means more overhead and slower performance, but it can still be made to work within the given constraints of real-time processing. They will need to find a balance between hardening and usefulness.

I use a retired business laptop. 16GB RAM and Linux, mapped some shares from my NAS. Low power high performance.
- Comment on Self hosted Onedrive alternative 4 weeks ago:
Nextcloud is my nemesis.
It took me ages to even get it running at all. Maybe it’s more complicated as a Docker container, I don’t know, but it needs to run alongside manyther selfhosted services.
And once I finally got it working, it was slow as molasses even on LAN, nevermind access from outside. I never started using it.

Nerves don’t grow back, but the glans becomes more sensitive as the calloused skin heals.
- Comment on [NSFW] ysk: you can restore your foreskin 1 month ago:
Circumcision is abuse. Only rarely is it a medically sane practice. The glans basically becomes calloused, why would anyone want that?
Foreskin restoration is a way to return to a more normal state, with a softer and more sensitive glans. That is the reason people want to restore.

How does one “find their scent”? Just the thought of going to the perfume aisle makes me nauseous… And I can’t tell one from the other anyway.
