Diseased Open Source Software Community - it's about ethics in Code of Conducts

If they don't want to support players who don't, that's fine by me, but they should be obligated to release binaries for client/server so I can play without being forced to new terms.
For what it's worth, a Docker image for the server is freely available and 3rd party launchers are capable of downloading and running the Minecraft JAR without authenticating to MS.* Keep in mind you should probably restrict which IPs can hit your server since there's zero authentication.

*TLauncher Legacy used to be the common choice, but that's been DMCA'd...
 
Speaking of questions: The Undefined Behavior Question


I jumped onto Slashdot to try to find the post he brings up in the fist minute (I kinda prefer reading the actual post than listen to Lunduke talk. He's starting to get Tim Pool on me. "Put on a Beanie and Let's Read the Daily Mail together!")

I couldn't find it going back a day or two, and upon searching, I find that it wasn't even published. It was an unpublished submission posted on Orange Reddit.

The author posted his explanation on actual Reddit too, which is kinda interesting:

>ext4, which works - mostly - but is showing its age.
Feature. Complete. #NoMoreDevelopers

Ted Tso already said ext4 is old tech back when it was introduced. There's a reason ZFS, btrfs, and bcachefs exist.

Ted expanded on that in an interview I can't find at the moment. Did find this from 2008, talking about reiser4 and Hans Reiser:

The [btrfs] maintainer is not a crazy man and works well with other LKML developers (free hint: if your code needs to be reviewed to get in, and reviewers are scarce; don't insult and abuse the volunteer reviewers as Hans did --- Not a good plan!).

Kent is following the same path as Hans.

I would not recommend marrying Kent.
 
An acquaintance of mine had an interesting opinion on ReiserFS. Apparently, it works well, and the murder meant no one wanted to touch the code and improve it in any way, meaning it continued to work well.

Many people have reported issues with reiserfs3. Hans' answer was typically "reiser4 will solve all problems" and didn't really fix many issues in reiserfs3. It's also not year-2038 proof and fixing that will require on-disk changes. That's why it's being removed.
