One of the things I really like about Distant Horizons is that you get a much better idea of your impact on your world -- both how big it is, and how so much bigger the rest of the world is. This image includes at least hints of most of my overworld efforts.

A few days ago, a client’s data center "vanished" overnight. My monitoring showed that all devices were unreachable. Not even the ISP routers responded, so I assumed a sudden connectivity drop. The strange part? Not even via 4G.
I then suspected a power failure, but the UPS should have sent an […]

I am confuzzled by Minecraft singleplayer on my Linux machine. Saving chunks seems to take absurd amounts of time, making dimensional hops or even saving and exiting a surprisingly long wait. Like, 5+ actual real stopwatch minutes, not merely exaggerating. Whereas the server box I've used seems to go fine. Older hardware, even. It is using a small USB stick to save to, whereas I'm still on platter drives for normal use. I never had issues like this on the Windows machine. And I don't seem to have any massive lag spikes with disk i/o in any other game. In a rational world, I'd be able to get an SSD for a reasonable price, but we don't live there. The Fabulously Optimized pack seemed to fix it last game version, but now doesn't. Linux Mint Debian Edition, flatpak Prism Launcher, if that matters at all. I don't think I have the spoons to try and drill this down any further, but if anyone has ideas I'd love to hear them. #linux #minecraft

Enshittification (coined by @pluralistic) is applied to the financialization of AI in https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-enshittifinancial-crisis/. It’s a VERY long read but well worth it if you value a future worth looking forward to. Capitalism makes some people do very dumb and dangerous things.

I made an amber farm, pretty much my own design. It produces a double-chest of amber per #minecraft night.
Pretty pleased with the outcome.

Best late-game use for bundles I've stolen: put some compasses, Lodestones, and an anvil in one, and make yourself a GPS that only uses one inventory slot.
Genius.

One interesting thing I learned -- if you ride a horse though a nether portal, you don't go through the long portal transition, its much faster.
Secondly, if you ride a horse through the end return portal, you end up at spawn instead of the last bed you slept in.

For my superflat base I ended up building a wall of saplings which grew into a wall of oak trees. It means that my base has a real different presence when viewed on the horizon, like its a boat of some kind.
