Yes, it absolutely can, it’s super easy! Just swap your Minecraft .jar with Paper and it’ll do the rest. It’s a tiny bit harder to go back, but only marginally.

Out of the box, aside from huge performance benefits, Paper is virtually indistinguishable from vanilla, but it also opens the door to a whole world of easy-to-use server-side plugins.

Edit: (you should still make a backup before swapping, just in case)

CPU intensive servers like Minecraft are where you start to run into problems with older hardware. If it’s just you on there, a 10 year old CPU is fine, but if you’ve got a few friends, the server may start to struggle to keep up.

Not sure how recently you ran this, or what all your were running, but in the past couple of years Paper has hit some pretty major milestones in unlocking threaded processing. Barring some sort of spammy 0-tick redstone nonsense or over the top plugins, I’d wager a Raspberry Pi 4 could handle up to about 5 or 6 friends without seeing any TPS dips. Its really remarkable how far they’ve pushed performance recently.

Could I get a larg HDD and ad it in an enclosure to the Mini PC to handle the media volume?

Like an external USB drive? Absolutely.

Ahh yes, consolidation and centralization, core pillars of the FOSS movement.

Ehh, people, you know?

Yay for team blank screen… I think?

Domains are cheap, buy one and then you can jump between whatever services aren’t caught up in the outrage of the moment.

Reflections are a great example of this. Real, calculated, reflections are a relatively new concept in videogames, but lots of old videogames are able to replicate this effect by creating an “upside down” world, with duplicates of everything, and reflective surfaces are actually windows peering into the upside-down. Its an OK facsimile, but requires specific conditions to be met and can’t be applied broadly

This is an ego fluffer app, not a scientific study. The accuracy is “good enough” to give you a rough idea of your performance, and if youre really into optimizing WPM, give you a way to track progress or the impacts of using different keyboards.

Getting a high score doesn’t actually mean anything except you probably use your phone too much.

I get the joke, but also I was shocked to see in the article:

Thunderbird for Android runs on mobile devices running Android 5 and above.

Who out there is still running Lollipop?! That came out over a decade ago. You can’t even get Thunderbird through the Play Store because Google Play Services dropped support for 5.1 back in July. I have so many questions.

Cool, so is Bitwarden, hence my concern

I know little about Proton Pass, but how confident are you they don’t also use a proprietary SDK with their open source apps?

Your warning I heed

Running as root is risky

Time for firewalls

This beta OS

Looks minimal, simple, fast

Maybe I’ll try it

Mmm, GPLv3 killing devices.

The great irony is putting it in a squatty travel sized container is probably more expensive, and doesn’t save nearly as much plastic as you would think.

Having to set up an entirely new production line just to make smaller containers, or retooling your existing production, would likely incur a significant cost.

On the plastic front, the overwhelming majority of plastic in something like that deodorant is in the base, lid, and “pusher” system. Making it shorter only removes a small section of the least-plastic-dense portion of the whole thing.

They could make a smaller one, but the only real benefit would be show & portability, and it would probably come at a premium per ounce

This may be my unicorn, going to test out some time in the coming weeks! Thanks for the suggestion, stranger!

Google Keep

My wife and I use it all the time for things like grocery lists, packing lists, etc. It’s nice to be an able to collaborate in real time on a checklist, and I haven’t found an app that can replicate that convenience.
