03:08 hello joined #luanti
03:13 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> the data loss of the forums is NOT acceptable, and that's part of why celeron55 feels particularly burdened. I regularly search for forum results, and now the site is being DDoSed and I can't get those
03:13 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> but of course, LLMs are supposed to embody all of that knowledge. So they're holding to ransom eh?
03:15 MTDiscord <wsor4035> the forums have already been wiped at least once
03:15 MTDiscord <wsor4035> see the sokimine? archive
03:15 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> can I? do you have a link?
03:18 YuGiOhJCJ joined #luanti
03:20 MTDiscord <wsor4035> https://forum.luanti.org/viewtopic.php?t=22451 / https://sorcerykid.github.io/minetest-forums/
03:22 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> thank you
03:23 YuGiOhJCJ joined #luanti
03:25 MTDiscord <wsor4035> if you want to actually use the forums, should just write yourself a script that redirects all requests to it, to the internet archive. faster and your probably have a better chance of getting the content 😏
03:26 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> I have the timezone advantage, it's late at night for me that the artificial traffic really starts to hurt usually
03:28 MTDiscord <wsor4035> hmm, does the forum have rss or something? wouldnt be that hard to just scrape the forum and rehost it
03:28 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> fairly sure it does have an RSS, yes
03:29 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> there's also https://forum.luanti.org/search.php?search_id=active_topics
03:29 MTDiscord <wsor4035> alternatively i could just scrape the listing page, extract all posts daily or something on the top page assuming its not going to have more posts than that, and update those
03:29 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> if the bots weren't braindead they'd make accounts and scrape that every minute or so
03:29 MTDiscord <wsor4035> but more effort than i want to alot to it atm
03:30 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> obviously the post rate isn't a minute but they obsessively want to check for new stuff apparently...
03:33 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> you would want some mechanism to delete the 50% of spam posts that I deal with as well...
03:33 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> since they wouldn't be automatically dropped from the archive, you'd have to check a post is still there after its first 24h or so
03:35 MTDiscord <wsor4035> go full roller and write my own forum with blackjack and <nsfw/children>
03:35 MTDiscord <wsor4035> but nah, actual time i want to spend on luanti web stuff should be sunk into skinsdb
03:35 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> true
03:36 MTDiscord <wsor4035> or docs/main website, but refering here to actual core web stuff

10:11 MTDiscord <the4spaceconstants2181> when did that convention become standard?
10:30 repetitivestrain Blockhead256: i cannot use the forum's own reporting system as it simply redirects me to a 404 page
10:31 repetitivestrain but this appears to be spam: https://forum.luanti.org/viewtopic.php?p=446147
10:31 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> yes, the reports system is broken on the front end, the form goes to the wrong URL. thank you for the report
10:31 repetitivestrain Any time

11:22 sfan5 <repetitivestrain> 9ff38bd transforms mineclonia's moon into an ugly excrescence with a bluish border
11:22 sfan5 working as intended. if you don't want a tonemap don't set one
11:31 repetitivestrain there wasn't one in 5.11
11:31 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> right in the commit log:
11:31 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> > This fixes a regression introduced by commit 58ccf0b
11:32 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> git describe --tags 58ccf0b -> 5.10.0-26-g58ccf0ba8
11:32 repetitivestrain Hmm I don't recall how it was in 5.10
11:32 repetitivestrain but i should be very surprised if the moon was blue there
11:32 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> only one way to find out
11:33 repetitivestrain yes, i'm building 5.10 as we speak

13:30 [MatrxMT] <birdlover32767> Blockhead256: new spam user "hrgurus" - no posts yet but their description is an ad
13:31 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> we have many of those every day that never post anything, and they've basically never been deleted. The user list is a lost cause
13:32 [MatrxMT] <birdlover32767> oh...
13:32 [MatrxMT] <birdlover32767> https://forum.luanti.org/memberlist.php?g=7&amp;mode=group&amp;start=23760
13:32 [MatrxMT] <birdlover32767> i'd bet 90% of users with a link are ads
13:33 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> the vast majority of the registered accounts are useless. But really, the member list is pretty much useless too
13:34 [MatrxMT] <birdlover32767> there should really be a regex blacklist
13:34 [MatrxMT] <birdlover32767> but then you'd risk losing like 2 users
13:35 [MatrxMT] <birdlover32767> and block the <first name><number> ones too
13:40 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> yes, false positive. Also the scunthorpe problem
13:44 SFENCE joined #luanti
13:56 celeron55 i wish forum moderators could just write php themselves to do all that automation
13:56 celeron55 it's stupid to have to do any of that by hand
13:58 sfan5 i did write some python automation to mass-delete spam accounts
13:58 sfan5 because the phpbb builtin stuff wouldn't work
14:00 sfan5 https://0x0.st/8Rxw.png html parsing isn't exactly fun tho
14:00 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> akismet does help with detection, as does the stop forum spam database
14:01 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> ban hammer makes bans easy
14:02 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> only way it could be more streamlined when I'm checking the unread post list is maybe one-click ban. Bit risky. And faster pageloads (in my dreams)
14:02 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> ah, I, uh.. overlooked the recent context of spam-accounts without posts
14:02 repetitivestrain sfan5: yes: the moon in 5.10 is noticably less bluish than in 5.12, though there is a tint that is not present in 5.11
14:03 repetitivestrain but i wanted to debug the issue myself awhile
14:03 sfan5 screenshot?
14:03 sfan5 it is of course possible that we messed up something else
14:04 repetitivestrain i'm uploading a set right now
14:05 repetitivestrain https://ibb.co/album/R7yczM
14:05 repetitivestrain on the left is 5.12, and on the right is 5.10
14:06 sfan5 and you have a moon_tonemap.png?
14:07 repetitivestrain there's no file by this name in mineclonia
14:07 sfan5 do you set your own tonemap?
14:08 repetitivestrain no, the only moon properties we alter are texture and visible
14:08 sfan5 then it should all look identical in 5.10, 5.11, 5.12 and 5.13-dev
14:09 repetitivestrain that would be ideal, but unfortunately it is not so
14:10 repetitivestrain i'll attempt to reduce this to a single mod tomorrow

19:02 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> something very strange is happening on the forums: sometimes a slow page load, sometimes a 502 bad gateway very quickly
19:02 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> it's like a 50/50 per pageload
19:10 gideonstar using time_speed I can change the speed of the full cycle. but is there any chance to make nights shorter and days longer for example?
19:17 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> https://github.com/luanti-org/luanti/blob/5.12.0/doc/lua_api.md?plain=1#L8939
19:17 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> https://github.com/luanti-org/luanti/pull/8964
19:18 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> I don't know of an out-of-the-box mod, sorry
19:20 gideonstar the first one looks promising
19:21 gideonstar let's take a look into building a simple mod
19:58 gideonstar nevermind, there is a mod
20:01 SFENCE joined #luanti
20:19 [MatrxMT] <leca> Quick question. Is there really no other ways for making switched on/off block change it's texture? For example, a burning furnace and an idling one, do I need to define two nodes and swap them?
20:20 sfan5 there is not
20:21 [MatrxMT] <leca> Thanks

21:40 sfan5 interesting fact: Minetest was calling itself a game engine as early as 2012
21:44 sfan5 also the website design has not substantially changed since 2015
