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

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).

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.

Seems some people think accuracy is limited. That’s not the case. From the article:

Immediate access to satellite measurements and navigation results is disabled when the receiver’s velocity is computed to be greater than 1000 knots, or its altitude is computed to be above 18,000 meters. The receiver continuously resets until the COCOM situation is cleared.

The limitations are enforced by the GPS receiver itself. You can buy “unlocked” GPS modules without these limitations, but they’re harder to get ahold of.

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.

You’re right! Let’s say we have two dice:

D₁ is fair and has a 1/6 probability of rolling each number from 1-6.
D₂ is weighted, with probabilities P₁, P₂, P₃, P₄, P₅, P₆ to roll each number.

We roll D₁, and get a number with the following probability distribution:
1: 1/6
2: 1/6
3: 1/6
4: 1/6
5: 1/6
6: 1/6

We roll D₂, and get a number with the following probability distribution:
1: P₁
2: P₂
3: P₃
4: P₄
5: P₅
6: P₆

We find the probabilities of every combination of rolls that yields a 7:
1+6: 1/6 P₁
2+5: 1/6 P₂
3+4: 1/6 P₃
4+3: 1/6 P₄
5+2: 1/6 P₅
6+1: 1/6 P₆

Adding these together to get the total probability of rolling a 7, we get 1/6 (P₁ + P₂ + P₃ + P₄ + P₅ + P₆). Since the probabilities of rolling each number must sum to 1, we get a probability of 1/6 to roll a 7, and your gut is right. :)

7 is the only number where this property holds. Other numbers will have a probability dependent on the weighting of the die, which could be calculated with a similar method.

Fewer creeps here than on Reddit.

I promise, I’ll end up setting up a public instance that does not obey any deletions because of these madlads. Seriously, where is pushshift for lemmy?

Yeah this is a really good idea; I’ve been wanting to do it but haven’t had the time to configure everything. You’d need to hide which instance it actually is though, or other instances would just defederate from it. Maybe set up a website where you can plop in a post/comment URL and see the deleted contents.

Committing crimes? Chemical burns to the fingers makes it harder to catch you!

I was wondering what the OP was talking about since I use the app pretty frequently and haven’t had to make an account. Guess that clears it up; I won’t be updating it in the future.

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

Look at you fancy pants with special gloves; if you don’t spill a bit of your blood along with the fish’s you’re doing it wrong. :P

Thanks for your guesses, everyone! The final dry weight turned out to be 817g.

Unfortunately you weren’t the closest (ended up being 817g and some people undercut you) but I will give you the award for most sensible calculation.

Congrats, you got it, ended up being 817g. I think the real winners are the people who actually did the calculations though. :)

I’m chemically refining some 90% silver coins I had into pure silver. I first dissolved them in nitric acid, then added copper to selectively precipitate the silver.
