Either works fine; I just use screen out of habit lol.

If the choice is between depressing news I can do nothing about, and moth memes, please forgive me if I choose the moth memes.

I've always just run the server directly from the JAR in a screen session. If you're just running a simple server and don't need the features of Pterodactyl it's definitely the easiest option. Just download the JAR from Minecraft's website to a new directory, and run with java -Xmx4G -Xms4G -jar minecraft_server.1.21.6.jar nogui (The page says 1 gig of RAM, but I'd recommend more if you have it available).

It's definitely quality over quantity here. Every upvote means a real human person saw my post/comment and liked it enough to upvote it. And I can even see who on Mbin!

I agree with most of your comment, but your math is very wrong. 36^12 hashes (lower case alphanumeric) / 126.9 GH/s = 33.7 million seconds, or about 1.18 years. Still way too weak for secure use, but about 16 orders of magnitude above the nanosecond range. How'd you calculate that?

That's a nice ICE vehicle, would be a shame if its windows were smashed and its tires punctured...

It's not hard to cause a lot of inconvenience with a little effort in a nonviolent way.

I knew what that one was going to be before even clicking it; some just stick in your mind.

Minecraft before the Microsoft acquisition.

To clarify, is it evil-ass rape, or evil ass-rape? There's an important distinction!

Reduced-conflict intersection? How about an increased-conflict intersection?

Isn't a million calories like 40L of gas? Anon's more gas than human lol.

 

The downside of everything being federated is that it's really easy to listen in. Make sure to keep yourself anonymous online!

 
 
 
 
 

Hi, I thought I'd share this here since it isn't being covered by any news sources. It's mostly my own research and calculations, so it could be completely wrong, but I'm fairly confident it's correct.

Most of you probably heard about the asteroid 2024 YR4, which briefly reached a 3.1% chance of Earth impact before its orbit was further constrained and the chance dropped to zero. What you may not have heard is that the chance of lunar impact has actually been steadily rising. No organization is currently reporting lunar impact statistics, so I've been calculating the probability myself. I've created a Desmos calculator that you can easily plug the approach data from NASA into. As of now it's sitting at 1.94%, with the nominal approach being less than one lunar radius from the surface of the Moon (just 0.058 sigma from the closest approach).

This is the impact corridor for the Moon, as viewed from Earth. An impact on the near side (very likely) would be visible for an entire hemisphere of the Earth, including North and Central America, the eastern half of Asia, and Australia. Map of locations where the Moon will be visible at the time of impact. I'm not sure exactly how bright an impact would be, but a 45 kg asteroid caused a flash clearly visible to telescopes during a lunar eclipse back in 2019, so I expect an asteroid about 5 million times larger would be quite the show.

A 1.94% chance is still very small, but I'll be keeping my eyes on the data and crossing my fingers for a lunar impact!
