Matrix is a communication platform. Think Discord, but hosted here and without its problems.

The server on 9iron can communicate with other servers as well. If you want to chat with someone on Matrix.org or some other server, you can. When Setting up a room, add a local address and give it to the person on the other server:

In this case, I would give out #adminbs:9iron.club. With this, the user on the other server can join the room. You can also join theirs in a similar way (ie. you get given #room:matrix.org)

Oh man, this one. We ended up going back to this pack at least 5(?) times because of how well it played. We were enthralled by the amount of content, especially the first time around. It's a heavy magic pack with Botania, Blood Magic, Thaumcraft, Witchery, and as many good addons for each as we could cram in there. It comes with numerous atmosphere mods, like World Tooltips, Dynamic Surroundings, SoundFilters, and more.

    I'm honestly not entirely sure what I want out of this website. On the one thing, I could host a blog here, but on the other, I'm trying to do so by writing out the markup by fucking hand. Like c'mon, guy.

    Perhaps it's just because it's way way late, perhaps it's because I didn't get enough sleep last night, perhaps a combination thereof, but I don't really care. I feel like there's charm in just writing it out in HTML and committing it, waiting for my box to pull it at noon.

    I work second shift, currently, which puts me going to bed at like 4-5AM, sometimes 6-7 depending on my shift. Naturally, no sensible motherfucker is up at this hour, which gives me a lot of time to do nothing but write code and dump my thoughts.

    I'm really enjoying just how much thoughtless (thoughtful?) garbage I'm able to throw at this terminal in a night. It really helps precipitate my thoughts into more solid opinions, for sure.

    Inflation in Modded Minecraft

    +

    Inflation in Modded Minecraft

    It's hard to believe Minecraft is 9 years old, and even harder to believe that the single biggest version for modded is almost 6. There's been so much refinement in modding tools and mods themselves since; orders of magnitude more complexity, more things, cooler things. The dev for Factorio once said that a major inspiration for him was IC2. It's that good. But it's inflated to hell and back.

    Let's take a popular mod as a baseline, as I feel that it best represents (and is the posterboy for) its power system: Thermal. A basic generator produces 80RF/t (unit power per unit time) and can handle a basic powered furnace and a Pulverizer simultaneously. With upgrades, some of the largest basic Thermal generator setups I've seen produce upwards of 20-80kRF/t, can power damn good furnaces, and are easily scaleable.

    Thermal also provides an addon mod: Redstone Arsenal. This mod adds tools, armor, and weapons that consume RF to work. They're upgrades from diamond, can never break, but require infrastructure. It's a good system. The armor holds 800kRF per piece and consumes 200 per hit. Wearing four pieces of armor, this means it takes half a second of basic shitty coal generator power production to effectively add one durability point to your better-than-diamond armor.

    Just want to keep this site up to speed.

    It's been months since my last post and and a lot has happened. I've landed a job as an actual sysadmin, made friends, eased stress, and suffered loss. It's been exhausting, which is why I haven't posted much.

    On top of that, I have basically no social media presence so nobody reads these things anyway. I know I said I would do this for myself, but as it turns out, doing things for yourself is hard, and I'm no social butterfly by any metric.

But regardless, what did happen feels unjust and I can't help but feel partially responsible for it. I know I wasn't the axeman, but being supportive isn't a virtue.
