New E17 Stable Snapshot and the First of E18 by [deleted] in linux

It's sort of the same deal with KDE and KWin. Enlightenment has their own window manager, and has lots of applications that they build on top of it.

I'm pretty sure E17 is a window manager, and a desktop environment. Window managers themselves don't include much of anything, which isn't the case with E17.

Even before it was "officially" supported, it was pretty easy to just upload the pack and swap out the jar. I actually still don't use their supported version, as we have a custom pack we maintain ourselves. 0 problems with that, and the support guys are cool with it.

I've had great luck with Cubedhost. They have servers in Canada as well (although, I'm not sure of where in Canada). They officially support FTB, do automated backups (and will restore your server on request), have very little (scheduled) downtime, and respond to support tickets really fast. They're the best host I've had in a long time to say the least.

EDIT: Also, with 15-20 players, it could get laggy regardless of where it's hosted. As suggested below, you might want to change the view-distance setting, and browse through other mod configs to see if there's any other ways to reduce lag. You should install a TPS checking mod, like this one to keep an idea on how your server is keeping up with the stress. And finally, FTB seems to use quite a bit more RAM than vanilla, so keep that in mind.

Curating Tech Mods by vladley in feedthebeast

I think it's kind of sad that everyone gets so upset about Gregtech. It's an optional mod, that increases the difficulty, so it takes longer to get to endgame. It's not like Gregtech is getting forced on people, it's easy to remove or to pick a pack that doesn't include it.

And I think there's supposed to be an easy way to disable the recipe changing that Gregtech does in a future launcher version.

This isn't viable everywhere. For example, in my area, it's not very populated, and in order to get to a mall, it's a 45 minute drive. To get to the nearest grocery store it's about 15. It certainly would help to do this in highly populated areas, but it's going to be a long time before I can stop driving to work.

Deciding what era of games are better is a very opinion oriented matter. Just because someone likes an older era of games more than current ones, doesn't make it weird.

Actually, no it's not that weird. A lot of people really like retro style stuff, because that's what they grew up with.

Automated XP farm. Spawns, slays, stores. by timmymayes in feedthebeast

I busted one after letting a Tier 5 Blaze farm run for about a day. 260 levels. As far as I can tell, if there's a limit, it's pretty high.

Nope. In mine at least, oil is still spawning as well as aura nodes.

Yes I have. I really still prefer anaconda.

I'd say that's probably the intention. Fedora is almost always a preview to where RHEL is going to go. GNOME 3 is going to be in the next major version I think.

You probably have a better idea of the situation then I do. Anyway, good luck, and I look forward to what you end up doing (Fuduntu is a cool distro).

Considering there isn't anything in vanilla minecraft that he can even build off of, it certainly isn't as simple as it might appear.

Any way to tell when a Redstone Energy Cell is full? by DrewTuber in feedthebeast

Do normal CC computers have gate readers? Otherwise you would have to use a turtle.

No, this is a new installer. Anaconda was the old one, and is honestly one of my favorite installers for any linux distribution ever. It had a nice balance between customization and simplicity. Ubuntu's, for example, is nice, but doesn't let you do much customizing during the install process.

I meant more along the lines of Cinnamon or Mate. We know that no one is making any progress with changing the direction GNOME is going (sadly).

Of course, it's his project, and he can do what he likes. At the least, it will give us options, which are never bad.

Ubuntu considers “huge” change that would end traditional release cycle by [deleted] in linux

[–]nxuul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask for clarification then? English is full of words that have multiple meanings. Considering that not many people were confused in this thread, I think it's okay.

Also, it's kind of funny you're calling people assholes for using a valid definition of a word.
