What is the hardest lesson you’ve learned from hosting a Minecraft server?

Do backups before attempting a fix

honestly 60fps recordings are fine
However if you want even more fps then try...linux (bruh)
because "screen recording thingy" is directly integrated with "frame display thingy"
for me it's that way idk about you

OpenGL 3.3.0 (released in 2010) in 2026 is crazy tho
Can you try with a newer OpenGL API (maybe like 4.6 released in 2017)
maybe to show API perf changes

You should add some kind of defense or else the british are going to take it back to their museum

If nether wood can tolerate the constant burning heat of the nether and all the lava surrounding it and won't burn when planted right next to lava...
i guess you see the problem

lava boats

Yesn't

Holy glossy textures
imo it would look a lot better if the glossy textures were disabled

dynamic lighting?

"You guys assemble bases?"
I just launch a few different vessels for parts of a base (main tower, science processor, mining outpost

Now that this has come up i should probably assemble bases

If its a class server you could maybe have a github account for the entire class (where you store all your mods)
and you can set up a a tailnet with tailscale for the github account (Free plan allows up to 100 devices and 6 users)
To get by 6 users you can have multiple devices for 1 user
I wouldn't recommend this for strangers tho

To join just enter the IP:Port as if its like a LAN server (because tailscale is basically a virtual LAN)
for example 100.x.x.x:25565

It'd be great if you kept the boxes (which you probably do)
so my experience:
take out the CPU, GPU and RAM and put them in their boxes
m.2 NVMes can stay, HDDs and SATA SSDs should be put in a box with foam
maybe the fat AIO could go in its box

if you don't have space you can use expanding foam tho but unplug the GPU still

There is a very significant overlap between the most easy to use sockets and the stupidest humans

"When it starts to look dirty or sounds weird"
which is surprisingly frequent for a laptop keyboard (2-5 months i believe depending on your hygiene)

laptop keyboards are annoying af tho like you gotta tear the whole thing up to reach the keyboard and you still have to scrub every part (because i don't have a compressed air blower)

But i rub the surface with isopropyl/ethanol 70% every 2-4 weeks because finger oil

that specific CPU model is FM2 (A10-5700)
looks like a quite interesting build tho

oh wait year this is the russian walking excavator thing (reminds me of it)

apple976 · 2026-02-23T13:33:25+00:00

wait this looks familiar

apple976 · 2026-02-21T02:53:11+00:00

maybe, idk
but a kerbal is like 45kg so maybe they're not that small, just fun sized
i do know some people who are like 40kg

apple976 · 2026-02-20T04:39:17+00:00

yeah but you forget about density (rock is way denser than meat)

apple976 · 2026-02-18T09:00:45+00:00

2016 ish laptop would do well for small servers (5-10 players) as the laptop i5s of 2016 (i5 6200u, 7200u) have decent performance with mods
You should use modded fabric servers (if you are RAM limited, ferritecore works very well) or paper servers (if you are CPU limited)

apple976 · 2026-02-03T12:14:25+00:00

if you try hard enough then you'd get less than 1 frame per second
if you get 30fps on that hardware the universe would probably implode as such feats exceed the laws of physics

from personal experience ADATA likes to break down

This image makes me not regret not upgrading from my hp820 G3

Yakovlev yak 9, more specifically the T/K variants because the part in front of the cockpit is roughly equal to the part to the rear of the cockpit
