  • Notes while I’m watching:

    1. The “vibe” is different - in my head I translated this to “he likes the GUI more”
    2. Minetest has zero “story” / progression (so no Ender Dragon to gear up for & fight) - it’s purely a sandbox experience.
    3. better performance, apparently runs on potato laptops pretty well
    4. Mods are built-in, and don’t require tools like Forge or whatever to tweak a jar file ⬅️ THIS is cool!
    5. Customization via the Settings menu

    The “built-in support for mods” caught my eye. That’s pretty slick, and a headache with MC.

    tl;dr - it runs on just about everything, and focuses on giving the player an easy-to-mod “sandbox” to play in.





  • I don’t buy into the myth that running your own mail server is “hard”.

    For a server with only a few users, the hard part is outgoing mail, ensuring your mails get delivered. I did what I can here, and simply use a paid service on another domain for important things where delivery must be “guaranteed”.

    It’s an interesting post, but saying it’s “not hard” and then “welllllll it’s not hard if you don’t bother with a spam filter & pay a professional company for ‘important’ email” is pretty misleading.
