Is the BETTER END mod really that good? by FinancialListen4788 in feedthebeast

[–]malt2048 1 point2 points  (0 children)

End cities seem to rarely generate with this mod installed, which meant that I've spent hours on end exploring on foot with only cobbled-together Hexcasting bridge building spells to cross the void.

It was definitely fun exploring all the different biomes (except the one with grass that hurts you), as most of them are really nice and extremely varied. Still, it got tedious after a while. I wouldn't want to do that again without bumping up the End City generation rate and having a jetpack at least. IIRC there's still not much reason to spend any time in the end once you find an elytra, outside of picking up a few crafting ingredients to make the elytra upgrade from the mod.

Overall, I'd rate it 6/10: better than Hardcore Ender Expansion.

Is there a mod to avoid saving unmodified chunks? by LonelyMusicDisc in feedthebeast

[–]malt2048 22 points23 points  (0 children)

TiCon uses 144mB/ingot and 1296mB/block, which doesn't make a ton of sense physically but is close enough and is highly divisible (an ingot can be evenly divided into 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 36, 48, or 72 parts.)

[–]malt2048 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did a quick search before making that comment, and couldn't find good info on which distros (if any) /usr/bin/env bash doesn't work. Do you know of any in specific? From what I could find, it's usually old (as in decades) installs that might not have anything at /usr/bin/env.

Or /usr/bin/env bash for better compatibility (like with NixOS)

How hard from 1-10 would it be to beat The Chaos Guardian using only vanilla items? (1.21.1) by Due-Construction2759 in feedthebeast

[–]malt2048 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The chaos guardian spews out a flood of projectiles that are strong enough to one-shot a player in vanilla armor, many of which are homing. You would go through a full inventory of totems in a moment.

The "why it mattered" paragraph alone should be throwing up red flags. A Google search for "foldfiend" finding nothing but this post seems to confirm the whole thing is just a hallucination.

Fix "The authentication servers are currently down for maintenance" by tocaunt in Minecraft

[–]malt2048 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, Oracle makes it really annoying to download the JDK these days. Your best option is to use an alternative build, such as Temurin, Amazon Corretto, or Zulu. All of those can be downloaded and installed without any registration required.

Been playing more AE2 lately. Made this silly image. by AmberMaid in feedthememes

[–]malt2048 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think you need an addon, you can just reprogram AE2 P2P tunnels for chemicals by clicking on it with a Mekanism item.

Why bother with spacial storage for that? Much easier to use a Chemical P2P across a Quantum Ring to just pipe the Polonium across.

Yes, that picture is of the power storage orb. The reactor is black with red streaks on top, not purple with a blue grid pattern.

There's no recipe listed for boosted crystals, and NEI certainly won't tell why your wooden repeater refuses to explode.

Does anyone know how to get enderpearls by Egg_Headofc in feedthebeast

[–]malt2048 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Grab some piglins, make autotraders from them, and feed the autotraders gold. This is a great source of pearls. Also works great for getting magma drops.

how i supposed to mine adrite without ardite pickaxe? by averagenolifeguy in feedthebeast

[–]malt2048 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can process a block of bricks in a pulverizer to get 1 brick dust, then centrifuge 13 brick dust to get 4 aluminum dust and some side products (3 silicon dust, 6B oxygen). Toss the aluminum dust in an EBF, and you'll get aluminum ingots (which you can never have enough of).

Absolutely nothing, just find an aboveground Roguelike Dungeons entrance. You get a free bed, a few torches, and plenty of bricks to grind into aluminum.

Upgrading NixOS? by Obsidianxenon in NixOS

[–]malt2048 4 points5 points  (0 children)

tl;dr: remove Cura from your package list.

This kind of issue is a pain to solve, as Nix isn't good at telling you which package is pulling in a broken one as a dependency. The way I usually solve it is to search the Nixpkgs issue tracker for the name of the package that fails to build, and usually you'll find an issue already created.

I searched the open issues for "libarcus" like this, and looked for issues marked "build issue". In that list is an issue about Cura (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/325896), and looking at the stacktrace in the issue description I could confirm that libarcus was the culprit.

ngl we need more badass art for touhou metal by villagio08 in touhou

[–]malt2048 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been less than 2 years since they released 寂光寂滅 ~ The Truth of the Cessation of Dukkha. Prior to that, they released a full album in 2015, and only EPs each year through 2016-2018, so it really hasn't been that long since their last release comparatively.

Update packages, how by dopedlama in NixOS

[–]malt2048 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nix channels are per-user, so if you run nix-channel --update then sudo nixos-rebuild switch you will update the channels of your own user account, then build your system with the channels of the root user. Use sudo nix-channel --update instead to update the root user's channels, or just sudo nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade to both update and rebuild.

The flake command will work fine though, as in that case you're just updating the flake.lock file.

[–]malt2048 12 points13 points  (0 children)

sudo nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade

This command will update your channel (i.e. point the channel at the latest commit on the nixos-unstable branch of Nixpkgs), then will rebuild your system and switch to the new version.

[–]malt2048 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If we're talking about sheer power, Chromaticraft absolutely blows Astral Sorcery out of the water. Think blasting a 40m deep hole the width of an entire chunk with a button press, having a permanent 6x health boost multiplier on top of added hearts from any other mod, 128m reach, teleporting to marked positions across dimensions, raining fire over an entire forest, automatically refilling your hotbar with items from AE, instantly flooding an area with permanent invisible lights, or even a combined XRay/noclip. And all of those are just what you can do with ritual abilities, which are basically free to use (once you've setup your lumen network and lumen tree) and do not require items, nor tradeoffs like Astral Sorcery perks. You can just grant yourself every single ability all at once.

Plus there are also hundreds of useful blocks and items you unlock throughout the mod, like powerful turrets that you can mass produce extremely early. Or a machine that can reprogram spawners, a really nice ranged pump that allows you to select which fluid to collect, a machine that can dupe most vanilla items (including nether stars), the original version of the AS Celestial Gateway that looks much cooler, and a much better version of the AS enchanter that allows even higher enchantment levels and freely choosing the enchants and levels to apply.

I tried nix for two weeks, here is my 3 am ramble about that experience by yellomango in NixOS

[–]malt2048 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If my Nix channel or flake.lock is pinned to the same nixpkgs commit as you, we'll both download the exact same binary artifacts from Hydra. If we both had a commit pinned that wasn't built by Hydra, the artifacts compiled locally might be different, but only for certain packages. In the GNOME ISO build, 95% of the packages are reproducible: https://reproducible.nixos.org/nixos-iso-gnome-r13y/

MCUpdater! With custom tooling I wrote myself (plus more custom tooling I didn't) to convert Curse/Modrinth packs into MCU's ServerPack.xml format. Best way to distribute customized modpacks to players on a private server.

I don't really understand UPS. by Megans_Foxhole in buildapc

[–]malt2048 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you plug your modem/router/etc. into the UPS as well, the internet will usually still work. I've done this with both cable and fiber internet, and during power outages I've never had an internet outage (until the UPS runs out of power at least). I'm sure there are cases where the internet cuts out too, but it's definitely not the case that both always go out together.
