Hosting the server is free. I’m actually not sure about windows because I don’t use that. We actually play on our iPads. We have a family set up. Pay once for the app, everybody gets to install it on their own device.

For free stuff I think people run Java edition? Again, I’ve never done that. There is an itzg Java server container https://github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-server

FWIW Bedrock lets you connect to servers online that have free games to play like Bed Wars, Sky Wars, Block Party. I don’t know if Java has that.

My kids and I use https://github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-bedrock-server and I would recommend it.

I think they mean pull-through cache. https://shipyard.build/blog/how-to-docker-registry-pull-through-cache/

Dang, nice! I’ve been using dd for nearly 30 years and have never seen that. I actually used to used dcfldd because it had better progress reporting than dd (and supported repeated patterns for input). Thanks for sharing!

pv for life.

That person is missing the point that a randomized MAC will often get a different DHCP lease, and the MAC address is used in that, so the IP address will change.

On a trusted Wi-Fi network, disable MAC randomization on your clients, and if possible reserve an IP address for their non-random MAC address. Some devices have deterministic random per WiFi network, which could also work. In iOS this is WiFi network -> private WiFi address “fixed”. “Rotating” would cause your pihole problems.

I had literally just recommended that my brother in law check out jeeps for his next vehicle. I have just corrected that recommendation! No jeeps.

The drill have started to move.

L’esprit de l’escalier or l’esprit d’escalier …  ‘staircase wit’ is a French term used in English for the predicament of thinking of the perfect reply too late.

Realizing that you are doing this is on the path to enlightenment.

We played the hell out of q3 starting with beta because it ran on Linux, macOS classic and windows, and my crew had all those. Riva tnt, g3 tower, amd k6-2, 10-base-T hub.

It’s funny and ironic that you have 10 downvotes but only two replies.

Anyhow I think this is it, but at the same time I do agree with others here that a reply to a downvoted comment promotes community, resilience, and hopefully empathy. But there’s no way it’s going to happen all the time. When it does, it’s great, and when it doesn’t, we shouldn’t be offended.

You don’t even know if the downvotes are coming from an actual human, so a few downvotes shouldn’t make a difference. I realize this isn’t the exact case that the OP is describing though.

This is so asinine I literally loled.

Agreed. I use their docker image, and have migrated servers. Other than copying data it only took a few minutes of cli-fu and everything was back up and running.

Tangent to this, “Apprise lets you send notifications to a large number of support notification services.”

Which is really unexpected if you’re looking at an oil lamp.

As somebody who just watched a team implement MySQL for an app that only supported Postgres, I’d go with Postgres.

I never want to use MySQL again. Postgres or SQLite for relational databases.

I was going to respond that those are both wrappers to ssh, but thought I’d verify first, and TIL “Paramiko is a pure-Python [1] (3.6+) implementation of the SSHv2 protocol [2]”

Meanwhile me with a Bluetooth speaker and my phone’s built in ambient noise feature.

I was also going to link this. I started using zfs 10-ish years ago and used dedup when it came out, and it was really not worth it except for archiving a bunch of stuff I knew had gigs of duplicate data. Performance was so poor.
