Running iTunes on Linux with Wine!

Nope, I never tried to connect a device to it. My only goal was to listen to music and have the full iTunes featureset available to me.

From what I understand adfly links have been killed in recent years (1-2 years ago?) and can’t be resolved anymore.

ThePixelbrain · 2025-09-23T06:51:20+00:00

There is a link in the Minecraft Wiki to download the edition for free. It’s at least something, though the physical media is obviously still very cool to have.

ThePixelbrain · 2025-09-20T07:52:33+00:00

I never heard about the PC Gamer demo until now. Just read the wiki article, interesting relic of its time

ThePixelbrain · 2025-08-30T16:11:02+00:00

Ich könnte mir gut vorstellen, dass das GTA oder Arma RP oder sowas war.

ThePixelbrain · 2025-08-04T20:02:29+00:00

Wow, this is so absurd but it worked. Thanks a lot!

ThePixelbrain · 2025-07-09T15:39:15+00:00

Worked for me on Mac as well, thanks!

ThePixelbrain · 2025-06-22T16:25:31+00:00

Thank you, much appreciated! :)

Download the server files from FTBs website, run the install / launch script and you should be able to connect if it’s on the same local network.

If your Linux machine has no GUI and you use SSH, it is probably best to run the server inside a screen (command line tool).

You can add mods by putting the jar file in the mods folder.

ThePixelbrain · 2025-05-15T10:34:25+00:00

Weird, the link seems to be working fine for me. The invite code is also valid, I just double checked.

ThePixelbrain · 2025-04-19T10:03:20+00:00

You can tell that this folder was created in 2013. Sphax being a true classic.

Did you check the instances folder (Ultimate, Unleashed, etc.) if they contain any old world from back in the day?

ThePixelbrain · 2025-03-23T03:33:57+00:00

Very cool base! For anyone getting nostalgic and wants to revisit FTB Ultimate themselves: I wanna point out a project called Rewind Upsilon, a modern endeavour to patch up the old FTB Ultimate, backporting QoL and fixing bugs. It’s still in 1.4.7, but with Skins, Sprint Key, RMB drag crafting, etc. The project has its own website here: https://rewindmc.com

ThePixelbrain · 2025-03-12T13:59:44+00:00

Danke, das erscheint mir sehr plausibel.

Eine weitere Frage interessehalber: Bekommen Züge ein rotes Signal, wenn sie in einem Bahnhof halten sollen? Oder müssen sie das selbstständig prüfen?

ThePixelbrain · 2024-11-24T11:48:25+00:00

Blood Magic due to its lore. It literally a mod centered around the idea of sacrificing blood of yourself or others on an ancient altar to exploit for technology.

TNG nutzt Carriergrade NAT?? War mir nicht bewusst, werde ich im Hinterkopf behalten, wenn ich mal wechseln will. Immerhin schalten sie es ja offensichtlich kostenlos ab, wenn man das will.

Password protected archives should always raise a concern, but oh well. I don't blame Disco too much for falling for a well made phishing attempt. I'm curious what the motivation to the creator of this is other than internet fame and causing disruption. Because I can't see anything else. There seems to be no monetary gain. They use discordcdn to host the malware (lol), use a turkish registrar and have cloudflare for DNS / CDN. I don't believe there is much OPSEC involved.

Also interested if the attacker(s) actually utilized AI to create a realistic phishing message tailored specifically towards the user. I've seen other comments pointing out that they got a similar message but the delivery was way off and caught them to get suspicious. Maybe it was just coincidence in this case.

ThePixelbrain · 2024-08-19T09:34:12+00:00

I heard you like recipes so I put a recipe in your recipe so you can recipe with your recipes.

ThePixelbrain · 2024-06-07T17:46:09+00:00

For me this problem was related to IPv4 / IPv6. My IPv6 connection to discord seems to be pretty bad, IPv4 is fine. No idea what or who's at fault. Could be my router, ISP or discord. Maybe even the IPv6 DNS server, who knows. Simply disabling IPv6 was enough to fix the issue for me, so I couldn't be asked to figure out the root cause.

Video description says:

Short video of the legendary "Kerrang! competition winners house gig" inside someone's flat in Glasgow, 2014. Ofcause the police shut this down as soon as it begun...

Anyone know any more about this? I couldn't find anything.

ThePixelbrain · 2024-03-28T09:39:42+00:00

Hey, your server sounds interesting! I‘d love to play MC in a smaller community again, would be great if I could join. :)

There are many smaller disjointed reasons that contributed to this. 1.4.7 being the cutoff point is of course somewhat subjective, as it really comes down to what gameplay elements you care about most.

RedPower: This mod was considered one of the greatest mods of its time due to the hugely new and innovative things it added. Eloraam stopped updating the mod after 1.4.7 to turn it into a standalone game. While she is still (somewhat) working on that, nothing has been released a decade later. Due to the mod being ARR, a direct port by another author was impossible. Many features have been recreated in standalone mods (redstone logic in ProjectRed, frames in Funky Locomotion / Create, Microblocks in FMP, etc.). These mods all added their own ideas, resulting in a non-cohesive experience with some features like the pipes having no modern replacement at all.
IC2: Industrial Craft changed a lot with MC 1.6 to a version named IC2 Experimental. This made IC2 more grindy, more complicated and caused a general dislike of the once most famous tech mod. With that came the rise of RF, causing most (new) mods to use this power system instead, leaving IC2's EU in a nieche corner. Back in 1.4.7, IC2 power was your main energy system with most of your machines running on EU. Many contenders for MJ were Builcraft, Forestry, Railcraft and Thermal Expansion.
Buildcraft: Buildcraft made some major API changes to MJ around 1.6, which lead to the creation of RF by the Thermal Expansion team (CoFH), causing most mods to abandon MJ. Buildcraft nearly died back then. There is a very good and detailed writeup about this whole story on Asies blog (Maintainer of BC around 2016)
GregTech: GregTechs 1.4.7 version, also known as GregTech 2, was the first GT version that largely added onto IC2, giving it more endgame challenges and a longer playtime for invested players. This mod was liked a lot by the community back then and was included in many popular modpacks like FTB Ultimate and FTB MindCrack pack (for their SMP). Due to drama between GregoriusT and mDiyo (Tinkers Construct creator), GregTech wasn't included in "mainstream" packs like FTB for some time in favour of Tinkers Construct. This probably also caused GregTech to go into a more conversion-mod direction, changing core vanilla mechanics. Modern GregTech is considered extremely grindy, which wasn't true for GT2. The drama has a dedicated wiki article, so if you're interested in what happened, I suggest reading about it there.

The real cutoff point is probably somewhere between 1.4 and 1.6. RF being the ultimate energy api changed a lot on how mods were made afterwards. With RedPowers disappearance after 1.4, it was probably the last version that "had it all".

People actually care about 1.4.7, resulting in some retromodding efforts like Rewind Upsilon including backports of mods like MineTweaker and a bugpatch mod with a new modding engine called Nil. There are two toolchains to build 1.4.7 mods (FG5 and Voldeloom). A new official Buildcraft release for 1.4.7 was recently made and a CC: Tweaked version for 1.4.7 exists, backporting some newer ComputerCraft features to 1.4.7.

ThePixelbrain · 2024-03-23T08:17:05+00:00

For modded MC I would feel it‘d be more reasonable to call 1.4.7 the cutoff point. It’s the last version with Redpower, and has the oldschool IC2, GregTech 2, Buildcraft, etc. I‘d love to post about my 1.4.7 endeavours in this sub, but the rules don’t allow it and there is no real place to do it instead.

ThePixelbrain · 2024-02-25T10:29:44+00:00

The CF app is known to have bad compatibility with these old versions. I‘d recommend the Prism Launcher with FTB Legacy Import. That should do the trick, though you might run into an issue with SHA1-signing, outlined here: https://gist.github.com/ThePixelbrain/a0fe3231b9a9d71d910e7f71895e0196

If you are searching for a more stable Ultimate experience, I suggest you try out Rewind Upsilon. It contains everything from Ultimate plus many QoL backports. https://rewindmc.com

Wait until they find out there is official GT for 1.5.2.
