    Slightly off topic, but I’ve been reading 404 Media’s peices, and they’re quite good. They always seem to find the most interesting stories about tech that I haven’t seen reported anywhere, original content that I feel the tech-blogosphere has been missing for a while.

    Speaking to the 2016 election, I wonder how much of that outcome was born out of what appeared to be entitlement and indifference coming from the Hillary campaign, somewhat acting as if she had already won. I’m glad that Biden has brought respect back to the nations highest office with his ‘restraint’, for lack of a better word.

    Remember: hate sells. It’s been seen time and time again, people consume media that makes them feel strong feelings. And reporting follows the money, so the less reputable and moral publications will write about topics that make people mad. I’ve said it before: trump is the most profitable thing to happen to American news media in a long time. And until that cycle is broken, we’ll just get more people like him who know how to spin coverage about them, no matter what it is, into more popularity.

    Twitch defeated adblockers by using in-stream ads. I hope google does not go down the same path.

    The benefits are that I don’t have to manage mods and mod versions. I use prism launcher, so most of that is taken care of, but it’s nice to have stability. As for blocks missing or other bugs,...

    As for blocks missing or other bugs, I’ve not seen anything like that, It’s just sometimes a little slower connecting to a server.

    I’m playing on 1.19.4 and connecting with via fabric plus to the server on 1.20.2, I can’t recommend this setup enough. It works great for me and it’s all client side.

    Slightly off topic, but for those on T-mobile (edit: other carriers too) and iOS, you can access the field info center by typing *3001#12345#*\ into the keypad dialer. I know there are other codes for other things/carriers(edit, carriers are more complicated here)- the code here being 3001- but not off the top of my head. You can see cool stuff about the towers you’re connected to, including bandwidth metrics, etc.

    I’m not sure that service you’ve linked is legit. I don’t think there are any legit ones, outside of ones that take advantage of the checkmate exploits on the iphone x and earlier. I don’t believe that there is any method to reset a locked phone, at least none for consumers. They do exist, I personally have worked with cellebrite, but they are expensive and often only for law enforcement.

    Personally, I think making tnt dupers is a very fun late-game activity, so I’d be down. But we are using your server with your hardware, so if it’s causing lag (which it probably will), it’s your call. Speaking of hardware, if you don’t mind me asking, what’s the server running on? I have a spare oracle cloud compute instance I’d be happy to donate to the cause if you’d like.
