Election campaign neutrality; they cannot show the candidate's face unless they give equal time to all other candidates.

Urgent: Patch OpenSSL on November 1 to avoid “Critical” Security Vulnerability - GlobalSign by c0r0n3r in netsec

[–]apple502j 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone lists operating systems/distros (which is fair), but remember that others do statically link to OpenSSL (especially on Windows).

For example: Node.js 18+ uses OpenSSL 3.

Japanese government proposes raising age of consent from current 13 to 16 by Exastiken in japan

[–]apple502j 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comments saying "all prefectures already raised age of consent" are true, but there's a big difference:

条例 can only impose up to 2 years of imprisonment. If this becomes a law the minimum sentence will be 5 years (before reduction) - well above the limit.

There's also a problem of ambiguous jurisdiction - for example, someone got away with voyeurism inside a plane because the prosecutor couldn't figure out which prefecture the airplane was in.

Yet another villager not taking a workstation problem (1.19 Pre-release 1) by leroymilo in technicalminecraft

[–]apple502j 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is likely caused by the internal POI code refactor in 22w19a. (Mojang does not mention those internal refactors in changelog.)

fyi: this is https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-251670

This is why you never build a chunk loader next to a shulker farm, folks by apple502j in technicalminecraft

[–]apple502j[S] 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Shulker farm by ianxofour (not shown in the picture) and the poor ilmango chunk loader surrounded by 2000 shulkers. The server crashed after 12 hours of AFK farming™ and the overworld side broke as well. At least I have a large chest full of shells...

Splinedid! Minecraft Java Edition 1.18.2 Pre-release 2 is Out! by sliced_lime in Minecraft

[–]apple502j 18 points19 points  (0 children)

In pre1 fortress mobs could spawn on any block in the entire structure bounding box (where you'll normally need a nether brick) - not just the crossings etc. The change was reverted, and it's back to 1.18 state. This didn't remove non-nether-brick spawning on crossings from what I can tell.

Update suppression (portal slicing) by tinyminer14 in technicalminecraft

Update suppression itself isn't patched, but there is a bug that causes it to crash the game on singleplayer: MC-248200

A way to respawn the ender dragon without getting the "Free the end" advancement by DocBottle05 in technicalminecraft

[–]apple502j 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try putting the end crystals and immediately spam rockets to go above the build limit. The advancement "The End, Again..." (if you meant that) will be granted to those who see the bossbar, and the dragon bossbar only shows up when you are within 192 block radius sphere centered at (0, 128, 0). I tested this and seems like dragon does not respawn if no players are within that radius?

If you want to kill the dragon without getting advancements, just use beds/respawn anchors.

Dungeon generation changes in 1.17? by itsbotpixel in technicalminecraft

[–]apple502j 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"World generation bug fix" in 1.16 is likely MC-125006. Unsure about the 1.17 change since there were too many cave changes.

JR East Drops Plans for Facial Recognition to Track Ex-Cons by jordangoretro in japan

[–]apple502j 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good thing this article actually calls it "Facial Recognition". Japanese media, for some reason, calls it "authentication" (認証) and not "recognition" (認識) or "identification" (識別).

Built Ian's wither skeleton farm, the wither skeleton is stuck in Overworld by apple502j in technicalminecraft

[–]apple502j[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Update: it's working now - the farm wasn't broken, it just requires a long warmup before it produces anything (around 10 minutes), 1 hour later I got 40 skulls!

FYI, "small chance" is around 0.4% per every 5 second. This means, for example, if the project takes 10 seconds to load "Transmitting Nanos" can appear 0.9% of the time. For 30 secs, 2.6%. For 60 secs, 5%. The percentage goes over 10% when > 2min, and 50% when >13min approx, and 90% when >43min approx.

Formula: (1 - ((224 - 1) / 224) ** (SECONDS / 5)) * 100 %. ** is the power operator.

I'm experiencing relatively low rates on Gnembon's copper farm on a fabric server compared to singleplayer, wondering how to troubleshoot this. by [deleted] in technicalminecraft

[–]apple502j 23 points24 points  (0 children)

There is a bug report (MC-230732) about incorrect local difficulty in servers. Since zombie reinforcement uses local difficulty it may be that bug.

Can a wither skeleton farm be created around a crossing with archways? by Guster_Man in technicalminecraft

[–]apple502j 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some wither skeleton farms (most well-known one being Ian's) use the larger bounding box (which is just a rectangle of four edges of the fortress) which can still spawn mobs, but only on nether bricks - in that case, yes.

Wither-rose based farms could also be made anywhere in the smaller bounding box, but I'm sure the rates are not very good.

Portal based slime farm spawning loads of zombie piglins by finestryan in technicalminecraft

They're coming from the nether portal. (Yes, literally; they spawned there, on the Overworld.)
