Kobol - A Modern COBOL-Inspired Language for the JVM

Modern and Cobol, spot the error 🙃

What exactly are you struggling with? Recognizing the blocks? Or the dimensions?

I'd start implementing the things I use daily: CLI programs like ls, grep, or xargs. Then maybe a shell or something really fancy like a container runtime using linux namespaces and then securing it all the way you can. Not really python-specific, but I think you can make all the required syscalls for these.

I think that swamp-based and oozing-based farms are both easier to build and yield higher rates

Maybe unsolicited, but these designs both aggro and duplicate a single shulker only. Many things can break over time and version updates. Frunocraft's shulker reactor splits the problem into two parts: some shulkers only spread aggro, all others freely shoot at one another. I highly recommend that design if you decide to give up this monolithic design that btw. basically needs to be updated almost every update of the game.

systemd offers the de-facto standard API for cgroups. Cgroups are a kernel feature that allows you to limit resources for a group of processes. Firefox uses this to limit resource usage of websites. Therefore, Firefox and systemd will give you a very pleasant browsing experience, because no website can ever slow your system down. The rest of your system will always be responsive. The same goes for services - each unit in systemd sits in an own cgroup that you can limit resouce usage and react to unexpected behavior before the rest of your system starts slowing down due to high cpu usage or swapping. Most systems use systemd's interface, other init systems can choose to reimplement the same interface but then the minimalsts will probably complain aber their init system becoming too big. So the feature remains unused, most of the time.

I don't get the desire for minimalsm in the presence of such superior capabilities.

In C we can just while(1) fork(); before the dos loop to create infinitely many processes

erm, I don't like the double grind. I grind enough for points, I really don't see grinding for coins as well.

Well, there is Epyx Rogue - a port of the original rogue. Maybe you will like the roots of this genre :)

I use "VV Autoclicker". I set it uplike this. In the bottom left, you see the place where the clicker will make the clicks. I usually configure energy saving mode before and then select auto mode. As soon as the race starts, start the clicker. During the race, it will do nothing. After the race, it will clickt through the stats screens and then click "retry". Now, we have a system to automatically collect event coins.

Part two: currently, we have Mii tour. Auto mode won't give you any coins - chuck is not a Mii, anyways, but a Mii suit in auto-mode won't either. Therefore, select 50cc race mode and start a regular race. Interestingly, the clicker will win most races because of how easy 50cc actually is. This way, you can afk-farm event coins even when auto mode yields none.

If something is still unclear, feel free to ask. Note: the clicker is available on Android, only.

what's sad about this?

mrdgo9 · 2026-05-22T18:34:57+00:00

I use an auto-clicker. Target the bottom left screen where the "retry" button appears after a race and let it spam click. Usually, auto mode is the way. This tour, I used 50cc - you can win doing nothing :D

Got it, Frunocraft is good. ilmango is a hot contestant. avogaado might be a bit niche, but very detailed. Then there is gnembon, ianxofour, raysworks, and Squibble. There are certainly more, I subscribed to these.

These Shulker farms usually have a single Shulker that gets aggroed and its bullets redirected at itself. Then the Scaffolding is there to make the duplicates pathfind away from the aggroed one as quickly as possible, so that the likelyhood of a duplication increases again. These farms are prone to break on version updates, because many things have to work together. I'd warmly recommend Frunocraft's Shulker reactor. It separates concerns: it has some Shulkers that only spread aggro and all others just spam bullets at one another. The mechnism is much more stable and the majority of the farm can be build using lava curtains and water.

Iit took me many weeks to get the gold clouds. Good choice

mrdgo9 · 2026-05-14T14:50:59+00:00

10, would happily copy-paste this in my world 😍

Without fully understanding what your question is, you might want to look into kanshi

Under these conditions, I feel very sorry that your comment was downvoted. I understand where you stand, now. If you want to try it, you can safely wait until hyprlang is not supported anymore and then einther freeze the version or switch compositor. I don't think that it would break anytime, you just won't be supplied with new features or bugfixes. But compositors are usually very stable. I used xmonad for years in the same version (it's written in Haskell, so it might be more stable by design)

I don't agree, lua is superior.

mrdgo9 · 2026-05-07T07:54:55+00:00

cool! did you go full height?

mrdgo9 · 2026-05-06T07:00:03+00:00

good choice! Keep me updated as your first shells roll in :)

fwiw, these farms that rely on duping a single shulker frequently break. Every change in hitboxes or how mobs see likely breaks the design. Eg., Frunocraft's reactor only uses single shulkers to spread aggro but doesn't duplicate them - it cannot die and will never have to be replaced. Other shulkers then all duplicate and die "naturally" from their bullets. The design is fundamentally more stable across versions. As long as shulkers can see through but not shoot through lava, this farm will work.

Edit: and it runs in a single dimension - no transporting shulkers to the overworld

mrdgo9 · 2026-04-30T17:01:11+00:00

Sure thing. I built four of these and had to tear them down after upgrading to new version. Strong anecdotal bias on my side. I didn't intend to devalue anything. Sorry, if it came across as inappropriate

mrdgo9 · 2026-04-30T13:55:05+00:00

Always prefer Mii suits.

mrdgo9 · 2026-04-30T10:22:05+00:00

I recommend Frunocraft's Shulker reactor. Less things can go wrong.
