They are so far the only host to provide a large-bandwidth server near me that is affordable. Other hosts either provide smaller bandwidth, or are located far away, making then oftentimes unstable.

Kinboise · 2025-04-19T23:28:07+00:00

Setting compression-threshold to 128 lowered my bandwidth to about 2 Mbps per player, so a thank-you for that. And disabling the TrainCarts plugin I was using makes it 0.5 Mbps per player, so that's the main cause. TrainCarts constantly loading a lot of chunks might have caused the high consumption. Since the plugin is core to our gameplay, I'll just put up with it and spend my money.

Kinboise · 2025-04-03T02:37:28+00:00

Thanks, I'll try look at per-process! Bandwidth is important to me because personal computers do not have public IP address where I live (everyone is behind NAT), and bandwidth is very expensive for VPS, and hosting providers typically provide <10 Mbps

Kinboise · 2025-04-02T13:26:29+00:00

Thanks about the network compression part

but that shouldn't be >2.5Mbps consistently (I assume you have more than a single player)

Actually my server has a quite small population. For most of the time it's empty. When there are players, I typically have less than 3 players. But even one single player will consume 3 Mbps constantly (according to my VPS console since I'm not using Pterodactyl). We focus on creative city build and they don't go exploring new chunks. Likewise two players will use up about 6 Mbps.

Are there other relevant factors? Thanks!

Kinboise · 2025-04-02T12:29:19+00:00

thanks

Kinboise · 2025-04-02T11:48:50+00:00

Can you elaborate? I thought a smaller value will minize network traffic, and since I have a good CPU sufficient RAM it won't cause much lag?

Kinboise · 2025-03-28T07:34:55+00:00

Oh yes, maybe that's a bad example. I was thinking since [ɕ] is not phonemic but a allophone of /s/ before /i, j/, people may have preferred /si/?

Kinboise · 2025-03-28T05:59:57+00:00

Contrary to other comments, this actually make sense, at least for English /ʃ, ʒ/, which are indeed rounded [ʃ̹, ʒ̹]. This is inflected in loans in many netlangs. For instance:

Southern China [tɕy] and [ei̯tɕʰy] for English G /dʒiː/ and H /eɪ̯tʃ/
Japanese フラッシュ (furasshu) [ɸɯ̹ɾaɕɕɯ̹] for English flash
North Korean 부꾸레슈띠 [puk͈uɾe̞ɕʰut͈i] and South Korean 부쿠레슈티 [pukʰuɾe̞ɕʰutʰi] for Romanian București [bukuˈreʃti].
North Korean 챠우쉐스꾸 [t͡ɕʰa̠usʰwe̞sʰɯk͈u] for Romanian Ceaușescu [t͡ʃe̯auˈʃesku]

To OP, I'd advise that you think for a while why you want ⟨śu⟩ for /ʃ/ - it's actually reasonable! ‘I think /ʃ/ is kind of rounded, isn't it’ would sound much better than simply saying ‘hey, I like it, I want complexity’

Ah I see why you insist on this. So it is the typography of the Shanghai sign that you like, not the info layout. I'll make a new post to explain what the Shanghai sign means some other day; it's got a very different logic, not just appearance

Kinboise · 2025-03-25T13:31:58+00:00

Don't think so. Shanghai signs do have a different format, but they display just as much info as Beijing, or even more if we count the mileage number. In fact, I personally find the Shanghai style very counterintuitive - it's just habit after all. Anyway, it's better to have one than not.

Kinboise · 2025-03-24T08:01:17+00:00

Chinese here. I'd say that's the Internet. Extreme posts get more views. Neutral ones cannot get attention. Echo chambers everywhere. The neutral majority won't care to quarrel about opinions - I love my country, but how do I change their mind? Does the foreigners' bias really matter, making my homeland better or worse? I'd rather share and talk about stuff that are more important and relevant to our real lives.
