If your business makes software, I might be good for your business.
@schmonz i prefer continually playing the cure on repeat, sorry ;)
What have I missed?
Also, how often might I need to send other server commands?
@schmonz That's how I would do it (but I would use execline's trap command 😉)
Also, Minecraft is written in Java? Oof, that shows its age.
@schmonz infinisil wrote a pretty incredible automatic config a few years back https://github.com/infinisil/on-demand-minecraft
Maybe that helps. Since it starts the server on demand and serializes & stops it after 15 mins or so.

Today I became a student and I will graduate (which I never did) after one spoken conversation in Swedish and a thesis work with lower academic standards than my publications. I already started the thesis and expect to graduate in June.
I feel so many things about this. Happy that schools know how to score the budget they need, without lowering the bar they have. Awful on switch from uni to vocational. Horrible on customers thinking this matters when I’m part of bids.
@schmonz have two decades on that, and it’s hard to imagine it’s more than a story of versatile paths, and persistence. I always loved a story though. It’s funny how this will make the question of my school background the Finnish IT magazine always tries to capture in article info boxes even harder.

@schmonz I notice an unnecessary indirection
@schmonz It was great to catch up with you on Monday :) Maybe we can meet in person if you’re ever back in Europe.
When I was a consultant, I chose to get rusty with technologies rather than with team skills — and I'd choose the same a million more times.
@schmonz Why are you presenting it as an either/or choice? I work alone most of the time (which means I'm not practicing team skills) and I still manage to get rusty with technologies too!
I have a "theory" :)
The announcement is for #pkgsrc source code. It takes about 2 or 3 weeks for things to replicate and binaries to be built.
Hmm... You do know pkgsrc is "download source and compile", right?
@ParadeGrotesque
Yes. but it also has a binary component with pkgin
@schmonz
New account on your own server?
(Before that, I was nervous I wouldn't get it done before the old instance goes offline in a few days: https://octodon.social/@CobaltVelvet/112897672123037837)
@schmonz
Ahh, self hosting: the joy of knowing you can set things up the way you want; the drudgery of knowing you have to set things up the way you want. 🥹
I've moved to @schmonz@schmonz.com. Follow me there if you're not already automatically doing so.

@schmonz@octodon.social. Follow me here if you're not already automatically doing so.We usually assume it also means you know how to do X. Often true, but not always.
But don't sleep on how it also makes you likely more amenable to the next needed refactoring.
Projects that by design cannot promptly demonstrate return (or no return) on investment are extra risky.
Saying these things out loud does not suffice to indemnify us, or me.
When negative feedback that’s vague and unactionable comes from someone with power-over, it’s negligent, irresponsible, and destructive.
In the same message: "Is this a bug in acceptutils or did I make a configuration mistake?" A bug, and now I'm freshly motivated to fix!
When designing a project, do you always prioritize closing the feedback loop of ROI (or lack thereof) as early as possible?
Might you ever choose to defer closing that loop because you need something else sooner? If so, what kind of something could that be?
(1) Collective ownership and incremental shared learning over the absolute quality of today’s code
or
(2) The other way around
or
(3) Both, somehow
?
I imagine there are workplaces wishing for this. But first, more time for more reflection.
Last time I saw @Soulcraftswoman was only slightly less long ago. Any minute now!
