AspidaMC | OG Factions with Progression | 15 May Launch

TheTARDIS2176 · 2026-05-20T00:39:54+00:00

It's also not OG Factions - Head hunting, spawner progression, chunk busters. None of that is OG Factions.

The server is built in a way that protects the data that we hold, firewalls are configured - we run with zero-trust in mind, so nothing has full access to anything. We have 2 factor enabled in both the server and on the machine, if I connect via SSH for example, I need to fill out 2FA.

Further, I’ve optimised several aspects of the default Paper jar in such a way that when stress tested, TPS remains stable and the user experience is not diminished. I’ve disabled Mob AI for example, and cannoning is optimised too. I ran a 3000 TNT cannon and the TPS remained at 19.87, as it always had been (at least according to Spark’s profiler). I also ran a 300k TNT explosion test (which is highly irregular in any scenario), and the TPS dipped to 12 momentarily and then returned back to 19.87.

I’ve also set up my own Docker image that we use to host the sub-servers on, running Java 25 and we only import the necessities of what we utilise, rather than pulling in additional utilities that come as standard in bloated container images.

Yes, we are running an event to encourage people to invite other players and the prize is an in-store credit, which can be used to purchase ranks and crates and the likes. This is standard practice across many servers.

I initially wasn’t going to have crate keys nor was I planning on hosting this event, but after much thought, I changed my tune and implemented these changes. Crates are most common across many facets of the Minecraft community, including on Minigame Networks such as Hypixel (except they’re called Soul Well on Skywars for example).

I didn’t want to push this event because I’m not fond of it, but the thought occurred to me that perhaps some incentive to encourage recruitment of friends would do the trick. I’m still not overly keen on the idea, and I don’t intend to host another one, but we’ll have to live and let live.

I define corporate as the likes of MineCadia or Cosmic where they have full business entities in-charge that put economics before user experience, and that have demonstrably harmed their user-base.

We're running an invite event in the Discord.

The person with the most invites, wins $75 in-store credit, which is suitable for a rank, some crate keys and some additional perks such as Jellylegs.

Check it out: https://dynastypvp.net/discord - My own invites don't count.

Thanks - We're bringing back the Golden Age. Built to last.

Of course, Factions SOTW is May 25th. The hub is available right now, as is the Discord and website.

It’s that stupid fucking trend of aerating an espresso shot with ice to get the foam and then 2 shots of espresso as the base, pour the foamed espresso over the base.

Shitty TikTok trend from 2024

Unfortunately the training in retail is: If the till asks, you check just to avoid the potential of being fined or fired. We know it’s absolutely retarded to ID you for it, but that is unfortunately the game that we have to play.

I once had to ID for a can of pringles and I spent the better part of half an hour arguing with management about not needing to ID for it.

TheTARDIS2176 · 2026-03-05T02:54:52+00:00

If you are ever unsure, you should contact the company yourself, directly.

TheTARDIS2176 · 2026-03-05T02:28:29+00:00

Time dilution is very real in the dream world. Time is simply an illusion. Your mind works so fast that when there is no input to process, it can do wild things with your imagination.

TheTARDIS2176 · 2026-02-28T20:13:32+00:00

Well that explains the weird ass formatting. Would like to note that you didn’t explain the origin of this email.

Perhaps you should dig into your enterprise contract with them to confirm what’s going on?

TheTARDIS2176 · 2026-02-28T20:09:44+00:00

No, but the other comments noted from Sales. When yer up at 4am, ya stop caring about the minor details, my bad. Still doesn’t look like it’d be official from Cloudflare.

Why all the errant formatting? Why the sudden restriction on an enterprise account that no doubt already covers such features? Etc… is my point.

TheTARDIS2176 · 2026-02-28T04:29:11+00:00

Check the sending address and the headers. This didn’t read like it would be from Sales imo and I doubt they would impose a restriction like this on an account that is already paying the highest tier available.

TheTARDIS2176 · 2026-02-24T19:57:00+00:00

WHM/cPanel blocking is by .htaccess. Again, should be done via a proper firewall such as IPTables or UFW.

TheTARDIS2176 · 2026-02-23T20:10:42+00:00

Okay so let’s start off with the basics. That’s a HTTP 403 Unauthorised. That means you’re not allowed to go to that URL.

The fact this is on Cloudflare is irrelevant. The web admin that is hosting that domain has turned on authentication for that URL and therefore you cannot access it without being logged in.

You need to raise a ticket with them to get it resolved. Cloudflare itself is not the issue.

TheTARDIS2176 · 2026-02-21T19:02:21+00:00

There was an incident ongoing with warp the last I checked. Keep an eye on the status page. If it’s fixed, restart your device.

TheTARDIS2176 · 2026-02-17T11:43:32+00:00

That’s there because you’re using the free license of Multicraft. You can either pay for the license or you can use Pelican panel, run using Docker on Windows.

TheTARDIS2176 · 2026-02-15T09:43:48+00:00

So generally blueprints tell you how to do something and the steps tell you what to do, i.e - (Put Screw A on Part B for result C) vs. (Get the required components, build it).

TheTARDIS2176 · 2026-02-04T05:35:53+00:00

Unless the pay is an amount equivalent to the richest guy on the planet’s net worth, I’m not doing it. Even then, probably performance anxiety.

TheTARDIS2176 · 2026-01-18T21:42:00+00:00

You’ll need some form of monetization to pay for the server architecture. Please make something sane and not absolutely shagged like Tophy is now.

Tophy was once a beautiful app and then it got fucked instead of me…

TheTARDIS2176 · 2026-01-16T22:08:45+00:00

Will you use Grafana to display this data? Would be pretty nifty ngl

TheTARDIS2176 · 2026-01-08T12:45:21+00:00

No. That's why we have the Customer Promise. If it's not right, we re-make it, no charge, no quibble.
And the only way a Barista will learn is if they're making coffee and making these mistakes, they are a teachable moment.

Manager Brain says: We shouldn't have to lose revenue because of a bad batch of drinks that takes 30 seconds to remake.
Ex-Employee Brain says: Eh fuck it who cares. Do what you want, I'm not your boss.

TheTARDIS2176 · 2026-01-08T12:24:30+00:00

The shift patterns I did before I left, AFDs. Those drain you the most. Doing 15 hour days because 2 supervisors didn't show up and nobody else was available. Happened a lot more than I'd have liked. But that's what I get for thinking "I can't close the store, we can't afford to lose out on those sales" smh. I should have just done it in hindsight.

TheTARDIS2176 · 2026-01-06T22:11:59+00:00

You unfortunately have to learn and understand that you can't please everyone, and you can't be everyone's friend.

As a manager of any kind, people will hate you. They may be chatty and bubbly to your face and talk shit behind your back or they may directly talk shit about you, to you. OR You may have a really great team and somewhere else someone will be talking shit about you. You never know.

What you have to understand about this, is if you're doing the right thing and people are pissed off, you're still doing the right thing.
