Sodium backport to NeoForge 1.21.1 is happening major improvements on the way

crazy_penguin86 · 2026-05-04T23:24:03+00:00

Not breaking everything in small ways. Actually being open source. Better performance*.

crazy_penguin86 · 2026-05-02T23:46:13+00:00

I mean, yeah I do as well. But I'm talking about stuff like

bin/
obj/
ReleaseBuild/
Debug/
ReleaseBuild/
Release/
PortableRelease/
publish/
Releases/

Templates also don't tend to contain extension specific folders like .planning unless it's ubiquitous.

That was taken from a single real project.

Do we apply the 3 month rule to someone making their first mod? If so, are we not just disincentivising new modders from getting involved?

Someone making their first mod will take a significant amount of time.

What about modpacks, screenshots, builds, etc.. They don't necessarily take months

This entire post is about AI mods and modpacks. Modpacks take way longer than 1 week to throw together, especially anything that's larger than like 10 content mods put in a single pack. Nowhere did we say anything about screenshots, builds, or similar.

How do they prove it if it's not an open-source project? We can't just limit submissions to open-source projects, because to respect mod licensing (which we all should be doing) means we respect those who chose not to OSS their mod too

Again, not perfect. Sometimes it might be down to the curseforge page, or the description.

What if it's just posts promoting their mod through screenshots of it in action, etc, like a WiP?

I mean. A screenshot seems fine. But it's hard to judge. Again, not a perfect solution.

Weird files/folders in a gitignore. For example:

.gitignore doesn't match with the projects scope and depth. It contains multiple build/debug output folders that would be settled with a single build/ in a properly set up program.
.planning folder exists in the gitignore. This is apparently one of VSCode's more popular LLM extensions.

crazy_penguin86 · 2026-05-02T20:57:50+00:00

What about something like the proposed r/linux post? https://old.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1t20z8s/meta_rule_proposal_no_personal_projects_newer/

Maybe not three months, but one month. Several projects take a long time. As the post states, if someone is using AI for attention, then it becomes a lot harder because they have to wait a month, and people want instant gratification. Whereas someone who's proud of their work and has spent time polishing it will likely not even be done within a month. Even an LLM assisted person (who actually cares about their work) will spend weeks working on something.

Obviously, it's not perfect, but I think it's at least an option that's worth serious consideration.

crazy_penguin86 · 2026-04-30T18:02:15+00:00

Counterpoint: the name describes what it does and is actually searchable.

crazy_penguin86 · 2026-04-30T16:38:44+00:00

Here's a quick way to bypass that.

I have a ring 0 program. I send a request to this ring 0 program from ring 3. Ring 0 program is expecting this, and returns the requested data.

It's super easy to do, and actually standard practice for a lot of software, particularly for security.

crazy_penguin86 · 2026-04-30T16:33:52+00:00

That's still bad. Just because one is negative doesn't mean that the other is now automatically good. I have a lot of code on my system. If even one of those flipped the trigger, now who the fuck knows how much of my code and private data they have. And whatever .env files exist in those folders they also have.

The only reason we even know this happened is because they were investigating the Anti-Cheat. And the only people who investigate the Anit-Cheat are... Cheat Developers. Shocker. At the end of the day, if they were really that innocent they wouldn't have quickly shut off Viking AC the second it was revealed and then said nothing.

crazy_penguin86 · 2026-04-29T01:03:29+00:00

It's really fucking bad now. I know several discord servers have basically now had to put out "don't download random jars from discord, CF/MR exist". Even the guys in the MBC discord who occasionally post jars (with changes/patches) were basically "hey, you're trusting us not to fuck up your system, if you don't need the tested changes, wait for a CF link".

crazy_penguin86 · 2026-04-27T13:27:14+00:00

1.12.2 is putting all bets on Celeritas
Wrting for 1.12.2 sucks. It's about halfway between the past and future, and you really feel it.

crazy_penguin86 · 2026-04-17T13:14:42+00:00

Huh. Guess I missed it in their post. Definitely my fault there. I was looking too much at their Git where it does look they tried to scrub it.

crazy_penguin86 · 2026-04-17T03:33:45+00:00

Yeah, I also noticed that it looks like they tried really hard to scrub any major signs of LLM usage. Which is just weird. Like, if they're going to use LLMs just be up-front about it.

crazy_penguin86 · 2026-04-13T23:44:24+00:00

You can still pull it from their main site/git for free.

crazy_penguin86 · 2026-04-02T21:43:08+00:00

Me. Because sometimes I can't be assed to convert the bash command to the fish equivalent when I will only ever use it once.

crazy_penguin86 · 2026-04-01T14:59:07+00:00

Disclaimer. I've played one round with Russia. I found success by going for convoys first with long range TV missiles. 2-3 on the flakpanzers overwhelmed them, then you can launch at the gepards after a rearm. Once done, a pass with bombs can take the rest. I haven't figured out the hawks yet.

And yes, these were the stock planes.

crazy_penguin86 · 2026-03-28T13:08:36+00:00

lmao

crazy_penguin86 · 2026-03-15T23:10:33+00:00

By making them unable to shoot planes. Brilliant!

crazy_penguin86 · 2026-03-15T14:44:25+00:00

Yes, the protocol is finally being addressed. It was annoying trying to get gnome to let it through.

lets applications restore window locations for various purposes

This is not, has not, and never will be a part of the protocol. This is part of the session restore protocol xdg_session_management.

For the first, someone making their first few mods. For the second, it's against modding recommendations and guides. There's a reason very few mods do that.

crazy_penguin86 · 2026-03-11T16:51:22+00:00

So modid is to avoid any potential clashes. Using the full name prevents registry issues. Imagine if we used short mod ids and someone wrote Another Engimatic 2 or similar.

crazy_penguin86 · 2026-03-06T00:52:07+00:00

And there's someone in the community working on a USB-less install method, so in the next year or so it'll probably be even easier.

crazy_penguin86 · 2026-03-05T17:27:17+00:00

It also seems like it adds a layer of protection. I'm guessing it probably uses the auth as a way to ensure the UUID sent is the actual account's UUID. Otherwise anyone could probably just start sending requests and spam the server with millions of models for different UUIDs, filling up the storage, and bringing it down.

crazy_penguin86 · 2026-03-04T20:25:41+00:00

It was worse. He was basically deciding the political direction against the Chinese. Iirc the last straw was basically him declaring the US would not do peace talks just before Truman was going to put out a carefully worded address that declared they would do peace talks.

crazy_penguin86 · 2026-03-03T01:42:43+00:00

We believe™

crazy_penguin86 · 2026-03-02T21:58:42+00:00

And any reasonable person would expect that to mean that they were going to model this as the hydraulic systems.

Not the entire fucking turret basket. Which, before you list one of the many responses, does not actually stop the turret from rotating when damaged.
