00:45 Megaf [01:45:46] <-* hmmmm has kicked Megaf from #minetest-dev (Megaf)
00:45 Megaf well, it took more than four years for that to happen
00:45 Megaf I think I finally got a dev in bad mood
00:45 thePalindrome tbh you put him in a bad mood
00:46 Megaf yeah yeah, and what about all days and weeks I lost trying to fix my server due to stupid minetest bugs
00:46 Megaf (reported bugs)
00:46 thePalindrome Did you submit patches?
00:46 Megaf what about all the servers that closed down and got lost because of bugs
00:46 Megaf including one of my own
00:47 Megaf where we lost a whole year of work
00:47 Megaf dont that put a person in bad mood?
00:47 Megaf thePalindrome: I can't code, but I do report all bugs I find
00:47 thePalindrome Did you have backups?
00:47 Megaf that's not the point
00:48 Megaf the point is, dev time could be spent on the sqlite engine instead of adding leveldb, redis, posgreesql, null
00:48 thePalindrome I do see the point you're trying to make, but part of the problem lies within sqlite
00:48 Megaf mapgenv5 could be just fixed (as it recentlely was) instead of wasting time in several other mapgens
00:49 Megaf truetype support could be worked on instead of bundling a lot of BITMAP fonts doubling the game size
00:49 thePalindrome the other mapgens are mainly for backwards compatability and making sure it works before pushing it
00:49 Megaf OpenGL render could be improoved instead of wasting time on Dx8 and Dx9 and Software rendering
00:50 * thePalindrome doesn't use dx8 or 9
00:50 Megaf thePalindrome: and asking nicely don't help, reporting bugs sometimes do. Ranting the way I did attract attention,
00:51 Megaf well, I've been doing that for 4,5 years in that channel. I think I just got him in a bad day
00:51 thePalindrome In the same sense shooting people attracts attention to gun control
00:52 thePalindrome It works in one sense, but not in any other
00:52 Megaf thePalindrome: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&amp;q=author%3AMegaf
00:53 thePalindrome 35 issues, with 30 closed. The only remaining ones don't seem to affect too much, except the linking one
00:54 Megaf just showing that I do try to help...
00:54 Megaf there's 5 PRs too
00:54 Megaf and closed issue != fixed issue
00:57 thePalindrome All of your pull requests seem to have been merged
00:57 thePalindrome so why not try to merge more of your beloved fork?
01:01 thePalindrome You'd probably get some pretty good reactions, if you kept the patches small
01:05 Megaf [01:57:53] <thePalindrome> so why not try to merge more of your beloved fork?
01:06 Megaf All the work done in my fork was removing code from Minetest, I removed all database support but sqlite and all mapgen support but v6. Also removed some dead code (either legacy code or big parts of commented code)
01:07 Megaf and some of the things that did bring good performance and gameplay improvements are simple configuration changes, that I suggested and got the changes denied
01:07 Megaf thePalindrome: ^
01:07 Freejack joined #minetest
01:16 Megaf aix: can you confirm this please? https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/1934
01:16 Megaf cheapie: you too if you are there
01:16 Megaf !title
01:16 MinetestBot Megaf: TAB auto complete will no longer work on console. · Issue #1934 · minetest/minetest · GitHub
01:16 * cheapie checks
01:17 Megaf basically read my last comment
01:17 cheapie Doesn't even want to compile for me right now, and I can't really be bothered to fix it.
01:18 Megaf oh dear
01:18 Megaf cheapie: but do you have a running server with anyone online?
01:18 Megaf !server cheapie
01:18 MinetestBot Megaf: No results
01:18 Megaf oh
01:18 Megaf nevermind then
01:24 Megaf well, good night everyone
01:24 * Megaf closes Quassel Client

11:07 miner8 hi guys, may I know if the blocks in minetest are pre-generated. That is to say, if I enter a seed number, the blocks will always be generated in the exact position when I generate a new map later using the same seed?
11:08 thePalindrome If you use the same mapgen, yesz
11:08 miner8 All right. Thanks.

14:48 Calinou might be a markov chain bot, red-001, which uses a large delay to convince admins it's not a spammer
14:48 Calinou I've seen a few of those
14:48 Calinou or a manual spammer... those are getting more common

17:33 shar-archlinux Hello, is there a wiki page about the ports used by Minetest, in case if I use a firewall?

17:53 shar-archlinux Hello, is there a wiki page about the ports used by Minetest, in case if I use a firewall?² (it means I didn't find one, and that I would be willing to create one if someone would helped me to correctly do that)
17:53 twoelk 300000
17:53 shar-archlinux * would help me
17:53 twoelk is standard port
17:53 shar-archlinux and to read after me :P
17:53 twoelk oops 30000
17:54 shar-archlinux twoelk: for internal connections too? I had something like 42059, then 43426
17:54 shar-archlinux twoelk: I simply cannot connect to my local session with my actual firewall
17:55 twoelk I always had 30000 except if I changed it in the minetest.conf
17:56 * twoelk is watching the stonemonsters hamering at the door while he waits for the sun to rise
17:56 nore shar-archlinux: the internal connection is a random port if you start singleplayer
17:57 shar-archlinux nore: is there a way to make it through a defined port (such as 30000)?
17:57 shar-archlinux twoelk: thanks :)
17:57 nore shar-archlinux: let me see
17:58 shar-archlinux nore: I could do that, that's kind of you. I just didn't want to search for nothing, then come back 5 minutes later.
17:58 twoelk you should have a config.example file in your minetest/docs directory
17:59 nore current_port = myrand_range(49152, 65535);
17:59 nore looks like you can't configure that if you use simple singleplayer mode
18:01 twoelk doesn't "remote_port = 30000" work?
18:01 twoelk
18:02 twoelk argh, wrong setting
18:02 nore twoelk: I don't think so, looking at the code
18:02 nore but that should be tested anyway
18:03 twoelk port = 30000
18:03 twoelk is for setting port, but might only work if you start as server, can't remember
18:04 nore probably the latter, but it would be a good idea to test anyway
18:04 nore shar-archlinux: ^ btw
18:06 shar-archlinux nore, twoelk: remote_port is already set at 30000 in the GUI, I can't find a current_port option. I'll try to change that.
18:06 twoelk https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&amp;t=2870 might give more insight

18:08 twoelk just add a new line to the config file

19:13 IhrFussel Something is wrong with my server...it takes 3 minutes to login via ssh, 2 minutes to logout from ssh, I cant reach webpages on it but load is 0.01...the mt server also seems to be down in the server list but is listed in ps
19:14 sfan5 try rebooting
19:14 tokage joined #minetest
19:14 IhrFussel sfan5, reboot everything or mt server?
19:14 sfan5 everything
19:15 IhrFussel Okay i never had to reboot before
19:17 Calinou IhrFussel: check iowait
19:17 Calinou (check IO values of server, however it'll be hard if you have no SSH access)
19:19 IhrFussel I think its weird that it hangs at "authenticatuon succeeded" everything before is fast
19:22 IhrFussel Im running iotop now but sudo takes long too
19:22 basxto joined #minetest
19:23 IhrFussel Calinou, how do I see IO waits? iotop says 0.00B/s

22:20 IhrFussel agaran, I have to delete the huge mapblocks now...the MT server hangs my entire machine after a while now so that likely means the meta data has reached a very high amount now...Im doing a backup now then I will delete every mapblock with 50,000+ uncompressed meta bytes
22:22 IhrFussel This process WILL remove some city parts and maybe some houses with many items, but the only other option would be to delete everything and start a new world
