What do I need for an online private server?
  • Geyser had some issues lately. I run geyser standalone on a vps on the web, the server itself is in my home. The geyser server would sit at 100% CPU all the time. From what i understand: they had an issue recently that would hackers use geyser to run DDoS attacks. It was fixed but the hackers still try to connect. All the time.

    I don't know if it is released yet (check their Discord) but they quickly released a patched version that would rate limit connection attempts (block the IP after X attempts). This fixed the issue for me.

  • Least Favorite IDE ngl
  • I entered the world of Java a few years ago, there were already memes about eclipse back then, so I was prepared to prefer Intellij.

    I tried both. Intellij is much more polished, it had some annoying bugs too, but the selling point for me was that eclipse was (is) really good at syncing every change directly to wildfly. This is a huge timesaver. The maven to eclipse plugin I think?

    I've tried with jrebel but it's not as quick and reliable as with eclipse.

    I am fully prepared for a solution where Intellij is better so please let me know, but no one in our organisation (which has about 50 devs) has found it.

  • Back then it was a place for us nerds, techies, early adopters.

    Now it's a place dominated by the rest of the world. Including all the bad stuff like politics, big corporations and ads.

    It was nice for a while... We need a new place :-)

  • Whoogle
  • I don't use Whoogle myself, but I've checked the code and seems like Whoogle indeed uses HTTPS when sending your query to Google.

    (And as long as you are on your own private network at home you should be fine using HTTP)

  • Lewis? According to interviews they optimized for racing instead of qualification (and they said something along the lines of "maybe we pushed it a bit too far but we won't be sure until after the race").

    Looking forward to Lewis making up some places :-)

  • Can I use my Nintendo Switch in 20 years from now?
  • LOL phrased oddly? English is not my first language.

    I thought it was common knowledge that paying for something (console) and owning it was not the same these days, so I just want to know what I am buying..

  • Can I use my Nintendo Switch in 20 years from now?

    I am trying to choose between buying a Nintendo Switch or a Nintendo DS.

    This may not be the perfect community to ask - but I can't think of any better place.

    The reason for my question: I don't want to own obsolete hardware in 10 years. Lately most games seem to depend on a "phone home" feature, which is not really an issue for my pc because it is always connected, but a console is something I want to play always and everywhere.

    I already did some searching and found that games can be played offline fine (most of them, some exceptions are there like Multiplayer and Mortal Kombat), but:

    • There is something like the paid Nintendo Online Account. I am not planning on having a paid account. How much of the system depends on the account?
    • Can I have progression in a game (let's say: one of the Zelda franchise) and will my Wife and Kids all have their own progression, without having to pay for X accounts?
    • People who own a Switch, let's take this to extremes, do you feel like in 20 years from now you can still do the same things on your hardware as you can do now? (No multiplayer is fine)

    Also, feel free to rant about "paying is not owning", the state of the gaming industry is horrible.

    edit: Thank you all for the comments! I don't post a lot, so it was kinda overwhelming :)

    For clarity:

    • I meant I want to "buy for life" (not really "life", but, if the hardware survives you can play on pre-internet consoles forever - you can even buy more games if you can find them)
    • I want to buy a physical copy of the games, not download them

    I've decided to go with the Nintendo DS for now (I have a DSi - this week I bought a couple of games, 2nd hand). Reasons:

    • I already had it
    • Joycons on switch. Multiple people mentioned having problems with them. I don't count on being able to buy them new in 10 years, meaning they will have to last.

    Again: thank you all for the useful input!

    what's your strong opinion on what makes a budget setup the best?
  • For my closed headphones, which are most critical for me: something I can save up for.

    For the living room: amp + speakers should be affordable. My living room is not audiophile proof and will never be so getting the best gear is just lost money.

    In-ears: i take these everywhere for calls or some music in transport. So they should be kinda dispensible, so if an audiophile tells me "this is good value for a low price" I'll take it.

    I did not include numbers on purpose, right now I have a good income so €50 is "cheap" but in other times in my life that would have been a big purchase that I would rather spend on things like food or a warm coat :-)

    It is a luxury thing after all.

  • how and where are you playing?

    Just curious... Do you play on a multiplayer server? If yes, what kind of? Do you use a modloader on your client?

    Are you playing vanilla or modded? (I consider QoL mods like MiniHUD or Xaero's Map almost vanilla but ofcourse not everyone agrees)

    I play:

    1. on a whitelisted SMP (I had to look that up.. Survival Multiplayer) which is almost Vanilla (you can use a Vanilla client) - aimed at adult players (25+)
    2. Ocassionally single player just to try out different modded versions or things (I might play create for 2 days and then leave it at that)
    3. Currently playing on a members-only Create server

    Oh yeah, only Java. Never played bedrock. I tried for 5 minutes on my phone and it's not for me.

    moving from cloud to my own network

    Hello,

    I am hosting a shared Minecraft server (10-15 users usually) on dedicated hardware somewhere at OVH. I am considering moving this server to my home. I would save 25$ per month doing this, which would be my main motivation.

    I am aware of other considerations (I'll mention them later) but maybe I am missing something? Is there anyone who did the reverse (hosting a service with multiple users, moving them from your home to a hosting company) and what was your reason

    Things I already considered:

    • when my electricity/connection goes down the server goes down (that's ok it's just a game and my connection has always been very very stable)
    • hosting at home eats bandwidth (I have 50mbit which is way more than I use, I don't stream or download much)
    • electricity costs money too
    • when the server is compromised my home network is compromised (handling servers and networks is my hobby and my job, I think I can make it safe)

    Thank you for your thoughts!

    Hoe eten jullie Whisky Cocktail saus?

    Ik had het nooit gekocht. Mijn kind zei dat ze het lekker vond dus nu hebben we het in huis.

    Waar doe je het op? Brood? "Lekker bij de BBQ" vond ik op internet dus op je half rauwe half verkoolde worstje? Kaas? Pindakaas? Frikandel?

    pterodactyl, mineOS or something else?

    This is a question that was recently answered on the other non-federated thing in admincraft, but it's inaccesible now :-)

    So what's your favorite way to deal with managing your minecraft server?

    I have a very basic paper server with floodgate/geyser, I'm updating everything by hand now, but it would be so nice to have a GUI :-)
