Re: minetest windows xp
I think it might be possible to build even the newest MT for windows xp, but it gets tricky. You need to use custom builds and outdated versions of some libraries.

Re: Proposal: make Matrix official as much as IRC and remove Discord bridge
But yeah, I agree with Linuxdirk, damage is done and now can't be revoked without cutting off people from the chat; as far as it can matter, I changed title again) That's not true. The unofficial discord existed before the bridge was made and almost nobody has moved to Discord due to it. On the con...

Re: Proposal: migrate from IRC to Element
Celeron55 recently wrote on IRC that migrating from IRC is 'unthinkable', so the decision has been made. Please stop pulling opinions branded as mine out of your ass. I've never said that referring to anything else than Discord. As for the actual topic here: I think Matrix is definitely a better id...

Re: Getting tired of it
So I ask you: where are the others? I've been reading this thread, but don't have much to say. For me the hardest part in delegating is I'm not a social person and don't know people. It's been a problem for 10 years already, so as you can imagine what you're saying had gotten old to me before you e...

Re: Minetest radical graphical rework
Personally I'm a bit particular about menu design philosophies (structure wise), but visually this looks ok. Not simply a color theme. Unique enough, flashy enough, simple enough, flexible enough. It's a bit 90s, which is kind of cool these days. Also, it's a simple enough concept to be applied anyw...

Re: Minetest Game now in maintenance/bugfix-only mode, no feature PRs accepted
I don't think there's need for this much polarization. Assuming different games don't want to call their nodes and items the same, we can (should?) define an API that games can implement that allows a mod to know the names of some very common things, like those that Sokomine listed. The API can also...

All valid points. However, they're more about culture and less about rules (except for a few). Everyone can take what they can from these. But did you know? Anyone can become a core dev by suggesting themselves or their friend to me. I hate headhunting and I don't have an HR department so you have t...

Re: Forum is now hosted by celeron55 (report issues here)
Thanks for the update! Amazing how one rogue bot can bring down an entire website. :D Or was it actually multiple bots? It was making requests from about a thousand source IPs. That's also why it didn't look like a crawler at first glance amidst normal traffic, but once I shut the forum down for ma...

Re: Forum is now hosted by celeron55 (report issues here)
Did some updating: the forum now runs on PHP 7 and is a way more recent version of phpBB. Also, it turned out part of the massive slowdown was caused by a Chinese crawler bot doing absolutely silly amounts of random page loads. I blocked the entire IP range the crawler was using at the firewall leve...

Re: Recent forum and wiki downtime 2019-05-01...2019-05-03
@Fixer @uwu The backup size for the forum and wikis is currently at about 5GB. If you think the community might trust you with an encrypted backup and you're up for setting up the receiving end (including limited ssh access, the necessary cron jobs to prune old backups on your end and whatever else ...

Recent forum and wiki downtime 2019-05-01...2019-05-03
The forum and wikis were down from 2019-05-01 to 2019-05-03 due to a VPS crash and disk corruption. During downtime I restored the forum and the wikis to my latest off-site backup dated 2019-03-13 and upgraded the base system to OpenBSD 6.3. Much of the data left on the server was unusable, like the...

Re: Proposal: Content DB should only accept FOSS
I do think it would not hurt to start the content db with the FSF/OSI limitation. Everyone likely understands that it is the safest thing to do, allowing us to be spared of extra issues on top of any technical and other ones we'll have anyway. This can then be opened as a question again when things ...

Re: List of Possible Replacements for Lua formspecs
My opinion has always been that we should have our own pure Lua toolkit. Expose some 2D drawing primitives from core to client-side Lua, and let it do the rest.
It could also be published as a stand-alone library for others to use. AFAIK there is no pure Lua toolkit available at all currently.

0.1 never existed. 0.0.1 and 0.0.2 did, but it was kind of vague. Before 0.2, versioning was mostly just timestamps.
