08:46 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> bgstack15: I just use gnome-characters manually, not enough emojis in my life to warrant a fast input method
08:49 sfan5 https://x0.at/3T2q.png my IRC client is prepared but I don't have global emoji input
08:58 [MatrxMT] <birdlover32767> ✨️ Here in Element there's the handy emoji button—it's **so** useful for quickly enhancing your text, and **it's not just for your text**: you can even use it for reactions!
08:59 [MatrxMT] <birdlover32767> gotta sneak some misinformation there as well

12:58 mazes_84 minetest.org no longer redirects to luanti.org, still related to minetest community or not ?
13:00 user333_ i believe that is a partially related site with a lot of history
13:00 user333_ pretend it doesn't exist
13:04 mazes_84 another side effect of the rebranding
13:04 mazes_84 some user may still seek for minetest and get to the other site
13:05 sfan5 you mean minetest.net?
13:05 sfan5 dot org was never the minetest domain
13:06 mazes_84 ah yes forgot
13:06 mazes_84 still this may confuse some old users still referring the game as minetest
13:07 user333_ unfortunately it's not under control of anyone in the luanti project
13:07 mazes_84 and was same before rebrand
13:12 user333_ that site has a long history, it's closely related to https://forum.luanti.org/viewtopic.php?t=18946
13:13 user333_ basically someone trying to take over the project (and failing, eventually)

14:22 bgstack15 Maybe that (assumedly old, due to the font size choices...) guy can just have "minetest." THe project is now named Luanti after all.
14:29 MTDiscord <the4spaceconstants2181> no we still have minetest game
15:24 mazes_84 and config/mods/worlds/games ... still lays in ${HOME}/.minetest by default

18:13 Sheriff_U3 What happens when a mod includes both .po and .tr files in the locale dir?
18:15 crazylad I think it just picks one format and uses it, but I'm not sure
18:17 Sheriff_U3 So it will not detect that a client supports only the .tr and send it only those and if it supports .po then send it only the .po files?
18:27 crazylad from my understanding, the server will send all translation files (both formats) since it is just regular media, and then the client picks the best one to use, preferably the .po format if the client supports it (>= 5.10.0), otherwise it picks the .tr format
18:57 stormchaser3000 joined #luanti
18:58 [MatrxMT]_ <y5nw> I _think_ both files are loaded, but the behavior is undefined if both files contain different translations for the same entry
19:00 [MatrxMT]_ <y5nw> (I think the behavior is generally undefined if two files contain different translations for the same entry with the same textdomain)
19:15 bgstack15 Does anybody here use the "remote media" feature?
19:16 sfan5 no but I understand it
19:21 TheWild joined #luanti
19:30 MTDiscord <wsor4035> i did when s0fars media server still existed
19:31 MTDiscord <wsor4035> its probably only super useful if you have giant media since luanti is shit (takes forever) to transfer them (citation needed)
19:35 sfan5 define giant
19:35 sfan5 but in principle, yes
19:38 MTDiscord <the4spaceconstants2181> what is that
19:48 MTDiscord <wsor4035> idk, would have to dig up chat logs when looking at several servers and wondering why they took a while to load, ctf being the last one iirc. few mb? dunno. http transfer via browser was faster
19:58 sfan5 the network code in luanti is really bad so it's probably a good idea to use remote media if your game exceeds 15 MB

21:21 user333_ there appears to be a server on the serverlist full of bots (like 170 of them) to get a high rank on the serverlist
21:25 crazylad o_O
21:26 sfan5 did you check
21:26 user333_ very top on https://servers.luanti.org/ , a little bit of scrolling in the client
21:27 MTDiscord <sheriff_u3> At least they are running it on v5.16.1 :P
21:27 sfan5 no I mean did you join the server to check if those clients are bots?
21:28 user333_ it appears so
21:28 user333_ they all have names in lowercase_with_underscores and put out a few LLM-generated messages
21:29 MTDiscord <sheriff_u3> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/749727888659447960/1524527787585704107/image.png?ex=6a5012a4&amp;is=6a4ec124&amp;hm=6357fae2f91c715bb3380ddaf02671bc54cf6d2539be427bfc050e09960ffa02&amp;
21:30 sfan5 I don't speak chinese so how do we know what those messages say
21:30 MTDiscord <sheriff_u3> they are running only default MTG...
21:31 user333_ they are definitely bots of some sort
21:32 user333_ all of them constantly telling us stuff in english and chinese
21:33 MTDiscord <rollerozxa> you sure it's not just some chinese influencer that's bringing in their audience to break a record or something? they have internet culture and charismatic influencers too 🤷
21:33 MTDiscord <sheriff_u3> Just a wall of bones...
21:33 MTDiscord <sheriff_u3> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/749727888659447960/1524528976813494332/image.png?ex=6a5013c0&amp;is=6a4ec240&amp;hm=63a21293a46c8307ab725c23a0ba6df33c27d213498360461827441a5e6712b1&amp;
21:34 user333_ all from the bots
21:35 user333_ message logs https://user333.sweeux.org/p/user333/a0ec46bb5d6041dcb9614cb868505525
21:35 user333_ (_s and iamtroubled are me/crazylad)
21:36 sfan5 that does look pretty automated yeah
21:36 sfan5 thanks
21:36 user333_ np
21:37 [MatrxMT]_ <Blockhead256> a lot of games do have servers with bots to make it feel more lived in and less empty, but reporting them as actual players should always be a nono
21:37 MTDiscord <rollerozxa> ok yes, yeah that looks very bot-y
21:37 user333_ and 170 of them?
21:44 MTDiscord <sheriff_u3> They seem to be using a modified version of MTG as /help is messed up.
21:45 MTDiscord <sheriff_u3> Is there anything that can be done about it though?
21:51 [MatrxMT]_ <Blockhead256> servers have been banned off the list before, it can be done again
21:51 xor_ghost joined #luanti
21:52 MTDiscord <sheriff_u3> Hope that one gets banned.
21:52 user333_ it's now at the bottom of the list so i assume sfan5 did something
21:54 user333_ on the serverlist webpage at least, in the client it's at the bottom of the servers with more than 1 user
21:54 crazylad yea
