    Every year I get a little bit better at acting extroverted. Tiny baby steps. No one new will ever know I was incredibly shy and scared of social interactions for the longest time.

    As a kid I thought having certain issues was cool so I pushed myself to have them.
    I still have some of them.
    I was right, as far as a book character goes, they're really cool!
    They are not, in fact, fun to have. At all. Other than for writing experience. But they are spectacularly unfun to feel.

    I kinda think that if the world doesn't tear you apart, you'll do it yourself, because the same thing that drives the world to destroy lives is inside of you just the same.

    Some conditions may feel cool to have as it makes you feel unique, but they will destroy you from the inside out if not properly managed.

    There's a little bundle of unaddressed emotions in my chest.
    It hurts.
    I'm not sure if it's anger or sadness or what though
    Maybe all of the above?
    Including happiness. There's good in there too.
    It's just tangled and confusing
    and it hurts.
    BuffdoggB_ • 2026-09-28 00:36:18
    Yeah I know that feeling. The best thing to do is tell someone your close with. Like family or friends, If you don't get the emotions out they sit and rot. And that's not good
    Lego_Master_A • 2026-09-28 00:31:17
    Just let it out. Just like your bladder...you can let it fill up but eventually you need to release it. It's unhealthy to bottle it up. As long as you don't release it in the wrong way (like beating someone up out of anger), it's okay to let it out.

    ❓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.

    Honestly, it's always nice having the SMP open, but it did lately die down a bit. Which was weird. Maybe it started off at a bad time, or maybe the community was too spread out? I dunno. So honestly I'm neutral on this even though I love the SMP. Up to you Meddon.

    It's easy to think you're worse than everyone else.
    It's easy to think you're better than everyone else.
    What's really hard is trying to comprehend that despite all the good and the bad, we're the same in value. There's just so much to every person, and we constantly fail to properly evaluate any one person.

    This feels disjointed. Uhm
    It's like I had an idea and then as I was writing it down the idea went on vacation or something
    But it left behind all of its belongings?
    So you have the evidence of that idea existing and you can kinda see how it existed, but you don't have its heart.

    I keep forgetting to eat. It's not like I don't want to eat, it's just that I'm always doing something that feels more important and suddenly my stomach is hurting and I realize that I skipped another meal.

    "It'll be forever," I say, beaming ear to ear.
    "It'll be forever," I say, sobbing uncontrollably.
    But the truth is that none of it is forever.
    Not the joy, not the pain.
    It all passes eventually, and at the end of the day...
    is really just the morning of the next day.

    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.

    It's always so strange to come across someone who is completely unreadable. I think I've only met enough to count on my hand. I find them fascinating because no other time do I have to judge someone's motives on their actions alone.
    Generally my initial reaction is that they hate me, because they give no reaction to anything I say or do. Then I try to force myself to love them, because I want to be liked and if I like them they'll hopefully like me. Then I realize that they've never really done anything to show that they hate me, just been so completely stone faced I don't know even in the slightest what they're thinking, and normally I think I'm pretty good at figuring that out. They're like, incredibly intriguing and also completely terrifying at the same time.
    It gets to a point where my brain tries to make up emotions to read from them, which is an endless cycle of: "Are they happy? That's not it. Are they sad? That's not it. Are they angry? That's not it. It seems like nothing, but they can't possibly always be feeling nothing. They must be happy. No, that doesn't feel right..."
    What's funny is I think my little brother is this way. He almost always looks slightly happy unless he's really upset about something. Even then, it doesn't show up on his face, but he has other cues that I've gotten used to just from living with him.
    Makes me wonder if I'm this way to other people and I just don't know. Something I often get stuck on lol

    Zord • 2026-09-16 14:50:04
    That's actually interesting... I don't think I ever really care for whatever people are expecting... which... yeah it can lead to me coming off as rude at times but hey, we're all different to some extent. XD
    Though yeah I guess that if it's something you're used to getting acess to, not getting it as easily would mess with your brain... kind of like being left out of an inside joke I guess?

    GalaxyCat24 • 2026-09-15 23:14:27
    Now that I think about it, I don't know why knowing what the person I'm talking to is feeling is so important to me. I guess I'm just very used to it. Every interaction is feeling out what the other person is ok with and not ok with. Conversation topics, amount of physical touch, what they find funny, what they expect from me, all that. I gauge their reactions and change they way I act accordingly. If I can't do that, I feel lost. How do I know if I'm making them uncomfortable or happy? How do I know what they're interested in and what things they like talking about? How will I know when they're lying?
    Part of it might just be me struggling to be genuine, but I also just really like people and want to know what they think, because I find people fascinating.
    ItzBlaaze Interesting, I’ve pondered this idea many times before and still do… I like your thoughts on it!
    GalaxyCat24 • 2026-09-15 22:25:19
    Ty!
    Zord • 2026-09-15 21:56:17
    Okay... as someone with a resting blank face... I need to know though... why do you feel like that? I've never once in my life felt the need to understand someone else's emotion or opinion of me... it's quite alien to my weird little brain. But in a curious way, not negative. Like yeah I get trying to read someone's expression to gauge potential outcomes of interacting with them... like min-maxing social encounters to get your desired outcome... but yeah...
    Also as for your final wondering bit there... I doubt that's the case? Like you seem expressive... but who knows maybe like me your expressiveness comes from text and the people you're with... I''m way more easy to read among friends than with strangers.

    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

    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?
