Happy Harding Whalebomb Day from !

It is the birthday of infamous figure skater Tonya Harding and the anniversary of this unwise application of TNT:

@astrotoya I hope you find it much less stress, and more kind people to call family. I'm far more comfortable having my wife @mikmaqpeek visible here. Welcome!

@MollyMarsGal @PhotonEmpress Ooog... actually, it looks like looking at the follow/ follower list only turns up local for *your* server, so only *spacey.space*. I only see qoto.org. It's a start, but you are already on a great server for that topic!

@MollyMarsGal @/planet4589@mastodon.social is a must. @/badastro@mastodon.social,... actually, you should look at @PhotonEmpress 's follow/ follower list for people you recognize. As their peers interact, you'll find more. That, and given you are on her server, check the "local" feed. You'll have a nice list soon enough!

@YuriBrave @Robotbeat I mostly plan to see what has the greater pull for time. I watch for posts from particular people on Bird Feed, but as they come here I don't need to anymore.

@skanman @torq I am totally with you both on this. In a discussion with someone on Bird Place, I used yourlogicalfallacyis.com to show the fallacy I observed. "Oh no! You're not gonna trot that out on me! I was captain of the debate team in college!" Never did actually address the fallacy I observed.

Formal logic simply isn't taught at the common level, and it certainly isn't used in common debate.

@freemo My dad coauthored a book on vacuum tubes and their replacements. Not exactly a page turner unless you needed the info. He worked for Howard W. Sams Publishing. I remember growing up to him screaming "!"

@Pat You can see it in the eyes: "I hate you, and I will barf in your slippers tonight."

I don't use ions in my professional life, but that would be a fantastic way to remember it!

Is this how it works? I'm testing, because I'm not sure this is how it works.

"Whatcha doin?"
"I'm loving my wife."
"Ew! TMI!"
"No, really! I'm washing the dishes."
"That doesn't sound particularly romantic."
"She's ill. I know she's not feeling her best, and tidying the kitchen is one real way I can tell her how much I love her."
"Aww... that's sweet!"
"Plus I enjoy making lewd small-talk while I..."
"LA-LA-LA I"m outta here!"

@outofcontrol Pre-generating chunks around your base area is generally a healthy plan to keep down lag issues. The downside: once generated, changes with Minecraft update such as new ores, new trees, or whatever... won't generate in new chunks. For *THAT* ... have Chunky "trim" chunks around your base. That would be one way to "recycle" maps while keeping your original base intact. :)

@outofcontrol My "general hazy understanding" of Paper is that it's a fork of Spigot, but otherwise SpigotMC plugins will work fine except where it is noted as part of that given plugin.

With either mapping software, if the chunk isn't generated, it can't map it. You *can* have 16x16 block "chunk holes" in your map as you explore. Minecraft chunk generation can behave strangely. Forcing those chunks to generate would be Chunky's claim-to-fame. It also helps lag because chunk generation is intense. Once done, you won't have lag from making new chunks already generated.

@outofcontrol You can use Chunky to pre-generate chunks out to a distance first, and it takes time of course. Then you can have Bluemap render in its turn, but it is best you do *NOT* have both rendering at the same time. It will make both take forever, and you'll have mega-lag.

@outofcontrol spigotmc.org/resources/bluemap is the one. It also renders a 3D top-down view, if you would like.

Also, consider spigotmc.org/resources/chunky.. The problem "might not" actually be Dynmap. It could be chunk areas not created, so they can't be rendered. I couldn't be sure without poking about with the server, DynMap's configuration, and such. Chunk can both pre-generate chunks and "trim" chunks beyond a defined border.

I believe you can use Spigot plugins with PaperMC. I'm not clear on the details, I use SpigotMC. I would be glad to help as best as I can.

@outofcontrol I've used Blue Map... I'm at work, but I can get you the SpigotMC link from home.
