So I have been getting bored of Minecraft but felt like having a twist on my own new single player survival world.

So last week I started out in Minecraft 1.5.2, which was the version I started playing on, and I intend to slowly upgrade the world, along the way collecting mobs, blocks, items and world generation not possible in later versions (dubbed Discontinued Items).

My latest endeavour was actually switching to the 2013 April Fools version, Minecraft 2.0, and obtaining things like enchanted signs, creating setups for floating blocks (ladders, torches, floating sand/gravel, etc.), things that will survive the upgrade to 1.6.

I've seen this advice generally for open ports and self hosting, let's say I do have a Minecraft server only open on 25565, what risks do I face if I just only opened that port?

I do have my own private Minecraft server in a dedicated Linux VM but it's currently behind a VPN, which makes it an extra step for new players to join.

Oh my gosh, that solution is incredibly smart. I've been wanting to keep my phone below 80% since I got it, but ultimately was trying to manually check it and gave up, and two years later my Pixel 4a battery is pretty poor.

I'm setting this up, thank you so much. I think I do even have a WiFi adapter somewhere I hadn't found a use for.

The minute they discontinue Proton Bridge is the minute I cancel my subscription with them and change mail providers. No one is prying my beloved Thunderbird from me

Yeah, I believe that was a change they made not long after shafting 3rd party apps. I had a couple older iOS devices with their own older versions of third party apps, and that change effectively made any post with a Reddit uploaded image unviewable. Incredibly infuriating and I can't understand the logic behind it either.

I will say that further to that, a few years ago Imgur made a change that does the same damn thing if it detects you're on mobile. Unless you tick "Show Desktop Site" in your browser, it's impossible to actually standalone view a direct image.

Just a note to say that PolyMC has previously proven itself a troubled project, with the project owner Lenny at one point completely removing all other contributor's access as he "purged the leftoids" (or something to that effect), and PrismLauncher is a fork made by those contributors

I made the same mistake and was initially like "50wpm? Amateur." Once I saw it was Android, I shut my mouth with my 20wpm on my phone.

I work at an MSP and while it wasn’t LastPass, when you search “Microsoft Authenticator” in the app store there’s a similar looking Authenticator app that’s also blue, and because it’s an ad it shows up first. Had a user install that and was confused why they weren’t able to get MFA working.

Huh, you learn something every day. Thanks for that

I only just woke up so forgive me if you're right, did you mean automation?

Hey, I just want to say you're a real one for actually coming back with the Reddit comment and even a source essentially debunking what you said. This is why I love Lemmy, thank you.

I did a quick bit of research on this, and I wasn't really able to find anything to corroborate this. I'd be interested to know if there is a proper source to this though

Edit: there can be some concern for those metal particles, although this is no different for any metal dust by the looks of things https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/do-old-hard-drives-contain-toxic-materials.1623183/#post-11646780
