It isn't on the default port either, it's on a random high number port which is why I thought it was extra odd they found it.

Like the other commenter said, I dunno how the heck the griefers find the servers - but if it's on the open Internet, they do.

I set up a server for me an a handful of mates - advertised the address nowhere. They told nobody. A month in a friend and I were playing as usual, and a player with a Russian username joined. I'm like "uh hi who are you?". They stayed another minute or two while saying nothing, then left.

I think they left when they realized i had an anti-griefer permissions mod that protects the blocks in an area around the spawn point from being modified (its called 'Flan'). So they joined, saw the server had some protections, and decided it wouldn't be much fun for them.

Whitelist immediately enabled - no more random Russians.

In addition to other advice here just be aware that Minecraft servers are prime targets for griefing and abuse.

I recommend setting it to whitelist mode and then each kid your friend wants to join just has to send their username to him so you can add the username to the whitelist. Its an added overhead but it's much less painful than reverting to a backup for a griefed server - and your kid won't have to worry about other kids on-sharing the server address.

Are you talking about the same Al Jazeera that Arab Islamist countries despotic leaders hate so much that Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Jordan, Libya, Bahrain and others added 'immediate and permanent closure of Al Jazeera' to their shortlist of primary demands during the Qatari diplomatic crisis from 2017-2021?

The same Al Jazeera English that's won multiple Peabody awards, the New York Festival TV & Film broadcaster of the year in 2022 & 2023 and the Royal Television Society Award in 2021 & 2022?

P.s. its OK I know they're trolling, I just like to spread education for others who may glance over OP's post and take it at face value.

All graphics cards interface with BIOS/UEFI when the system initializes - every piece of non-hotswap hardware has to or it won't be initialized and cannot be used.

The question is really why should a graphics card maker care to dedicate time to make their card compatible with BIOS when 99.999% of the systems running their cards will use UEFI, and they said 'hey actually we don't care' as far back as 2023 in the 7000 series but for some reason (clickbait) this is being dug up again.

I'll upvote every one lol. I do not get the hate this artist gets. There is so much real shit to be angry about, why do they waste their tears on this

Thanks for the suggestion. That combo seems to bring up window options for Wine's workspace. I've purged and reinstalled the snap now which does skirt the problem.

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'm in the same boat. I ended up giving up on the Linux options and using a Notepad++ snap package, but as it runs in WINE it has some quirks that I have not figured out yet.

As an example I chose to hide the menu bar while I was trying to get a dark theme looking correct, and now I have no idea how to bring the menu bar back, because wine takes the [alt] input that would usually bring the menu back up.

I'll probably end up just deleting and reinstalling the snap. But I'd rather know how to bring up the alt menu in emulated programs in wine - in case it happens again.

Also shortly after, unrelatedly Trump begins claiming his personal wealth is exactly the missing amount higher than it used to be.

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

You just watch.

"Strategic crypto reserve" of several billion in taxpayer funds, and then in several months "oops where did it go? It's all been moved to several different wallets now, gosh how did this happen" and the news cycle will just glaze over it as another Trump blunder while he and his cronies pocket it.

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Because of its strong stated desire to return to an idealised past it is both. There's no need to split hairs.
