    so... life is great, Fall Festival server is gone...
    I hope I can get it back 😭

    UPD: Windows File Recovery is a piece of crap that recovered 66.5 GB of pure garbage and absolutely nothing from the folder I asked for.

    hey-hey all,

    regarding some recently-deleted posts, please be mindful that the staff team is all for showing love and support for others. we want you guys to be there for one another, and recognize the value in having a community you can fall back on for reassurance through highs, but especially through lows.

    but, we also need to be mindful of how we communicate our support for others. it's easy to fall into some bad habits that can, maybe counterintuitively, hurt more than they help. that's not to say that the term "suicide" is forbidden. i know it's a touchy subject, and the word itself kind of sticks to the roof of your mouth, but september is suicide prevention awareness month and it's good to be up front, and to use the proper term for this particular type of crisis scenario.

    the problem (if you can call it that, but i don't think of it as a "problem" so much as a "misunderstanding") isn't that you guys are trying to help, or that your vocabulary is crass or offensive. please know that. i love that you guys help each other through rough patches.

    our team is just worried for the possibility that users may feel pressure to act as crisis councilors, as opposed to as friends or those who would like to show support. this kind of pressure can have a negative effect on other peoples' mental health, especially in those individuals who do not have professional training in crisis counseling.

    if you feel a fellow PMC user is in genuine crisis, that is, you believe they're in danger of harming themselves and/or others, please contact our team before you contact anyone else. report the comment/wallpost/forums post, or else make a private ticket and/or send a private message to our team. we regularly connect people with resources for help.

    if you have any questions, please reach out to me or create a support ticket. Below are a couple of resources for those experiencing suicidal ideation or who are otherwise in crisis

    Well this sounds like the most corporate response you guys could give... I'll be honest right away and say I'm not even in the loop with what happened, but the message sounds clear enough if you read past the layers of careful wording you put so much effort into.
    Purpl3_ thankfully pretending to be "crisis counselors" is not even remotely close to what we were doing :D
    drzzter • 2026-09-20 23:33:57
    i understand, but the urgency that is sometimes communicated through wall posts can (accidentally or not) give that impression, or encourage others to act in that capacity. the wording of a post can easily take a situation from "my friend could really use some cheering up, or a shoulder to cry on" to "i personally need to do something right now or my friend may die" the implicit emotional stress and guilt of which is above and beyond the scope of what we expect or want our members to experience. that's why we would like to, in such scenarios, instead direct people to professional resources.

    i'll be signing off for now, i have work in the morning. if you'd like to talk more about this, i can get back with you tomorrow evening. goodnight! (or day, or whatever time of day it is for you!)

    most definitely. we should just be careful that we're encouraging people to act in their capacity as friends, and not as crisis counselors, which can be dangerous for both parties. if you have a specific post in mind that you're asking about, you can send it my way, or post it as a private support ticket to have it "vetted" before you post it publicly.

    Today is the day i learned: PMC has 2 Factor Authentication - GO enable it now!!!! *pretty please*



    I feel like such a fool - i hardened and secured every account i have - heck i even use physical security keys by now - except for one crucial: my PMC Account.
    This couldve gone (/can be) so bad with my reach/presence. My humble apologies for this oversight.

    Please enable 2FA on all your crucial google, apple, proton, microsoft, etc accounts - credential leaks happen basically every week by now.

    Idk what it takes for you guys,
    but realizing that your weather app is tracking you, to sell your location data, is certainly a bar i do snap' at.


    Working on more minecraft stuff again today and then spend the afternoon inspecting and yeeting apps of my phone.
    Found this open source attempt at a ios and android weather app, https://ossweather.akylas.fr/ OSS Weather and on Linux i found: "Mousam" which is very nice

    Edit: I see the fixed image now, that’s definitely crossing a line.


    It’s all able to be opted out of, and it’s not being sold. It’s standard product improvement analytics. It’s more like the person going to the mayor and saying “hey this person couldn’t find LOCATION, we should add a sign for it”. Unless I’m missing something in the privacy policy.
    Kraggle09 oh wait, duh it “tracks your location” how else does it tell you the weather?

    Metapher: Asking a local person on the street for directions and then both going their own separate ways VS asking for directions once, and then they follow you, while keeping notes, where you go and what you wear.
    Kraggle09 I mean, that’s only if you have analytics enabled in iOS settings, right? Since Weather is a system app?

    On my recent TV with invasive ACR post.
    Its apparently way worse.

    -They are insecure( with unpatched 0Day & RCE's), botnet enabling, data scrapers, analyzing you, your network, your surroundings, your neighbors. Nothing is save. And neither is the data it captures, because they store it all in LOGS and send off. To a firm LG doesnt even fully control.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IFVTcM28KA
    You can have EVERYTHING denied. And they still profile you. May they crash and burn and get sued to hell.

    Oh yea im pissed!
    Linux: Was 100% Worth it! Let me give you my 7-8 months intro knowledge:

    GET VENTOY for install! You can try first without even installing (usb), or try it on a secondary pc/laptop or in a VM.
    Debian/Ubuntu (lts), Fedora(mid cycle) or CachyOS (latest) with KDE (win like) or Gnome (mac like) is just 95% you need.
    Do 1 OS per system, dualboot Linux+Win possible, but can be a real hassle especially when something breaks.
    Dont trust google serp results, i bricked my system once or twice.

    Main limits, currently VM's on linux have no native GPU passthrough support, limited support for various proprietary (video/audio-) codecs h265, mpeg or aac. Ms native/locked programs, Mc Bedrock, games with kernel anti cheat, Adobe programs, and niche proprietary programs. Most windows programs are possible to run with bottles/wine or winboat. 80/20 chance.

    On the privacy note - tip:
    For you iPhone users check out this research/inspection tool: Loupe
    Showcases how fingerprinting on ordinary data points, can reveal your interests, habits and circumstances.



    Its amazing, got labled gamer, purely on the basis that i had twitch installed KEKW
    But also put me into the Privacy bucket, because i had Signal and Proton apps.

    I figured out that 1/1000 images of mine had a geotag (grrrrr).
    I also learned that my phone has a barometer?!
    int32 so there may be apps stealing your barometric information? creepy! (I have no idea what they could infer from THAT!)
    McMeddon • 2026-09-08 15:07:22
    barometer is like to meassure air pressure. Apparently its for:

    Vertical GPS and floor detection.
    Fittness tracking (the movement changes) + Activity recognition.
    Part of weather analytics, if your local pressure drops it could warn about rain.
    Oh for paragliding apps when you fly in the mountains.
