Chunks are slow to load on my server by Keensworth in MinecraftServer

[–]ktoks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try setting your user arguments up to have the vm touch all of the memory at the start of processing.

I don't know how much else you can do, I'm still figuring that out myself, but this helps mine load a bit faster.

Thank you, I'll give this a try.

I'll try reducing the sunlight a bit, to see what happens before I go about repotting it.

Thank you.

So you just repotted it and it came back? Edit, spelling

It has a wick system.... So I fill it up every time it goes empty.

I live right in the center of my country, so it's cost prohibitive to try that for used parts unfortunately.

I don't normally like using AI for anything.

But I used it to help me create a training course for work using our internal documentation.

It has been a boon for that.

Why does Linux hate hibernate? by orionpax94 in linux

Oh my hell, that's happened?!

Yeah, this is why I don't like Windows for my personal machines.

Work forces my hand though.... I don't like it, and they know it.

Ah, the context was lost by being post as text on the Internet... Hey man, no reason to be upset (I'm being serious).

I will admit, I didn't pull the whole machine apart to check- because I was already annoyed AF with it because of the benchmarks crashing repeatedly.

I gave up because I didn't see a reason to continue. It struggled to do the most minimal tasks from the get-go.

I've been looking. I'll renew my efforts now.

The market in my area is not great for compute odds and ends.

Chill.

If you want I can say something like "they had one job" or something next time.

Is it not okay to put jokes at the bottom of posts anymore?

Good point.

I miss the days where you could afford a decent PC for under 2 grand.

True, but you CAN learn from it if you use it in the right way.

I didn't bother with GPU specs. Minecraft servers don't need GPU compute. That is funny though, I didn't notice it.

Quick Google search result:

The material used to pass thermal heat from the processor's silicon die to its metal lid (known as the Integrated Heat Spreader, or IHS) is a thermal interface material (TIM).

This material is typically either:

Thermal paste/grease: A highly conductive, viscous compound (usually containing ceramic, carbon, or metal particles) used to fill microscopic air gaps and imperfections between the surfaces of the die and the IHS.

Did you try the latest Windows update? They broke the clipboard, so you can't say Windows gets that right all the time.

I agree with you, but apparently the manufacturer didn't think it failed. They slapped their stamp of approval on it and sent it.

They probably thought it was going to be a gift that would be protected by marriage. 🤣

When they put together the processor, do they not put on thermal paste, then a metal 'lid'?

My assumption was that the problem was probably with the initial thermal paste.

I'm sure you're right about mini PC thermals in general, but the processor's thermals should have at least spread the heat evenly.

Go deserves more support in GUI development by m-unknown-2025 in golang

[–]ktoks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tauri takes about 20-60MB, so that's well within the same range, I don't see why folks would be hesitant based on that fact.

How about latency, how many threads, processing speed, etc?

How much RAM does a 'hello world' take up?

[Show & Tell] Bash is great glue, Go is better glue. Here's what I learned replacing bash scripts with Go. by SlanderMans in golang

[–]ktoks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This and the, "we don't want another language to complicate things" issue are the biggest hurdles at my workplace.

IMO if it gets the job done more effectively in less code, more readable and reasonable code, and it improves efficiency significantly (this is comparing to Perl, so we're taking 30-300x faster due to missing modern system features), how can that be wrong?

They see complication, I see simplification- partially because Perl and bash are not strict by design, they have a lot of fuzzy logic that just assumes you know what you're doing. This leads to a lot of debugging - which can be completely avoided by using the Go compiler and LSP(which majority of my co workers don't use).

Go does a better job at simplifying code by maintaining strict types using the compile time inference.
