❓MCS S8 - Update (statement?) to the community server

In short: 💻 ⚡bzzt 🔌🪦
____________________________________

What happend.
- So a while ago the server shutdown un-gloriously due to a power surge and outage, that killed cables and the server,
[​and other stuff like my microphone apparently (oof)].

I have now recovered it and am trying to do some investigations on it. So far it seems working, and without any other incident recorded, but still checking.
A world download coming soon.
____________________________________


Whats next?

- Recovery and continuation is possible.
- Tbf, im unsure, if i want to bring it back online. I definitly need better backup, notification and analytic methods..

-- 1: demand? Do you want to continue ? Ive been severly inactive in mc regards, hence public knowledge and interesst will be very dampend for i believe. + if no one cares then i dont want to sink to much time into it.
-- 2: I am severly concerned, especially in regards to security. I have already put substantial efforts in sand boxing, isolation and separation across systems, networks and co - but theres only so much i can do - and im no enterprise nor 50y tech wizzard.

Like im truly nervous to host something publicly, when these ai giants, let their LLMs ravage across the internet un-monitored. Not even to mention the automated attacks people themself are releasing onto the web.. for like "active" monitoring and defense i lack the knowledge/wisdom and time, basically the premis in the worst case: get blasted, clear and rebuild from last backup.. not really the incident i strive for. Not even to speak about the possibilities of ddos attacks that after all these years are still a thing accross the mc community, just wth.. (recently: tubbo's hoster incident)

Concerns Background:
OpenAI, Anthropic and co have had multiple incidents where their ai's have breached websites, forums, wikis, and government infrastructure over months without either the firms or the ai-companies noticing. And i dont intent to be one of their, or some dudes clawd bots, victim.

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.

after some mc building today, worked on the website a bit.
and checked some stats.

Why is Meta trying to ddos my website lol
like everyone being "reasonable" and only sending daily 1-500 bot requests / per ai comapny..
Meta: 16 THOUSAND..

the site even has only like 5-600 pages. (260 projects + 3d)

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: wrong app screenshotted #updated img

1. All Sketchbook Journey entries have been copied over to Neocities. Difference in when a new entry is uploaded to PMC/Neocities depends on circumstance, but should continue to be unnoticed.



2. Cara.app seems to be testing a new anti-scraping measure that causes embedded images (like here on PMC) to disapear after a while; so I've changed the image hosting to Neocities, which should let the images I embed in wall-posts (and on my PMC profile) stay up. My apolegies if you saw one of my wallposts without an image and just thought "what is bro talking about???"

This is like a super lowball and harmless example, but..

i swear researching for projects and trying to find authentic and real references gets like.. harder and harder every year. When google and co are just flooded with 10 altered versions + ai recreations of a real place. So frustrating, like having to analyse every image if its real or not...
