Doesn’t Minecraft explicitly support hosting game servers?

I thought that was the whole point of Minecraft

Some people plan out their self hosting. I did not.

I started with a free tier VPS i had no idea what to do with. I think i eventually ran irssi on it but i didn’t know how to use irssi so it was just a trial project that didn’t go anywhere.

Then, my mom wanted to record jeopardy and VHS tapes were getting annoying, so we made her a kodi system that could record it off the air.

Ads were getting annoying, so we made a pihole.

It was annoying having files scattered on all the computers and Google drive, so we made a nextcloud.

Et cetera.

Eventually i ended up with a handful of raspberry pis all doing something, spread sheets and network diagrams trying to keep track, and all plugged into various UPSes, and trying to figure out how to use NUT so they could all safely shut down automatically when the UPS is going down.

So no, i did not plan from day one to be struggling with the complexity of NUT, or any of my complicated bullshit self-hosting bullshit. But kind of like the process of evolution through natural selection, the complexity built up through of series of decisions which call made sense at the time for solving some kind of problem.

The distinction is that before Trump decided to hijack it for political purposes, the US government put a lot of thought and work into official names.

For big things like the gulf of Mexico, or lake Ontario, there shouldn’t be a lot of confusion. But what about the little creek by your house? A series of inlets on a coastline? What if you have dozens of places with the same name; how do you differentiate? What if you have regional local names that differ from the name that outsiders use? What if you have competing names in general parlance? When you type it into a gps, where will it send you?

The U.S. Board of Geographical Names handled all these issues and more, and had been a trusted authority on place names, that mapmakers, businesses, and other governments all trusted to do a good job.

Still today, you can check out the GNIS and find out all kinds of cool stuff. Try searching for “Sugarloaf” to find all the mountains people named after a common thing, or “Denali” or “Washington”; you can find a lot of cool stuff on here, including alternate names for places.

It is disgusting that the republicans are destroying years and years of slowly building trust and doing good work that helps all Americans because (check notes) it would be funny if he decreed the name were stupider?

Yeah, obviously not. It’s all just statistical auto correct.

That’s awesome! Do you have any videos you’d recommend for someone getting into it?

Do you have to see if the application you want to host is supported, or is it pretty compatible?

There are some windows softwares i want to run, but they don’t work in wine.

That the ai could produce text claiming that it has elected a ceo. I don’t know how else to restate it. Throw me a rope here.

No one else imagining holding their hand like that when they see the logo? I think it would hurt :/ kind of a turn off

Which part is confusing?

Typo, fixed

That’s almost surely configurable

But the ai could generate text to that effect, if it was statistically likely.

How does winboat work?

Blender is world class, but the CAD softwares are leagues behind, unfortunately.

I would want it for Google Earth or similar

I’ve got a staff shower at work with no door or curtain, and two drains. It’s in a one person bathroom, with a toilet and sink and place to hang up items.

If anyone takes a shower, there is water all over the floor for the next person… because without a door, the water doesn’t stay in the shower zone.

Does the Japanese one have a shower that can turn into a soaking bath? Because that’s what i want.

Who wants one, and why?

“Get out of here, Stalker! Release the Epstein Files!”

I am an NPC in S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Shadow of Chornobyl (2026 Remaster – (All we did in the remaster was fix the bugs, it is the same game you know and love except for this one NPC now reminds you of the Epstein class criminals!))

They didn’t say it would be a good shine
