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).

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?

They raise the barrier of entry for creating spam accounts from “make a bunch of API calls” to “set up some kind of AI captcha solver/pay someone in India to do it for you.” It doesn’t stop spammers, but it makes it harder for them.

I’ve had a great experience here on fedia.io. It’s a smaller instance, and it is running Mbin instead of Lemmy, but everything federates over so you get the same content. Might feel a bit weird switching from Lemmy, but if you feel like it I’d recommend giving it a try. :)

We’re also defederated from Hexbear, lemmy.ml, and Lemmygrad if that’s a factor.

Nothing at all. That’s why we have captchas.

For the first problem, just use a throwaway email service (I like temp-mail.org) to make your account.

Don’t use sketchy VPN apps, at all. The fact that they’re Chinese owned is irrelevant.

It’s not a sock puppet, plantfanatic@sh.itjust.works just happens to agree wholeheartedly with SchmidtGenetics and downvote/upvote the same comments a couple minutes after they do. /s

You can see their voting history on Lemvotes.

In my experience, most modern laptops don’t include one.

Do women need an app for this? Surely a piece of paper would work just as well, and have a 0% chance of selling your data.

Edit: Yeah I deserve that.

You still need a microSD to USB adapter if you want to use it with a PC that doesn’t have a microSD slot (which I’m sure is like 99% of PCs).

Surely a M.2 to USB adapter would be better for that use case?

If emissions dropped to 0 tonight, we would be substantially better off than if we maintain our current trajectory. Doomerism helps nobody.

The only chat not recorded is the one that happens in person with no electronic devices nearby.

That seems like it would violate the law of entropy by turning a high entropy state (water vapor mixed into the air) into a lower entropy state (water in liquid form), but I’m probably just missing something.

You don’t need JS at all if you get a bit creative with the CSS.

Might be a bit of an unpopular opinion, but I don’t really see a problem with brain implants. I wouldn’t put anything in my brain in a thousand years, but if someone’s willing to accept the risks, why not? They have the potential to significantly improve quality of life for many people.

I can’t imagine this would be effective at all. Assuming it uses GPS, big datacenters could simply spoof the GPS signal, and consumers could block the GPU from receiving the signal (a fully metal PC case is almost a Faraday cage already).
