Google is like a useful acquaintance who inevitably one day will pull a knife and threaten to cut you

Umm...that does not sound like an acquaintance

Fabric servers can even run on RPi (within reasonable parameters) and it has nice documentation.

Pro-tip: Use docker to maintain your Minecraft server. Much easier.

I heard prints are unique and have a hidden pattern which can be mapped to a single printer. Not sure if this is true.

Microsoft quietly released a free offline version of Office, but you're not going to like it in c/technology@beehaw.org

Something which is entirely cloud means the application is accessible from the browser. Cloud based could mean portion of the application is on the cloud. This is the technical answer.

But if an application requires cloud to function properly, it's practically a cloud app.

I’d recommend Paper as server software as it’s more performant out of the box (vs. vanilla)

Only if you don't play technical minecraft with sensitive redstone arrangements.

OP, if you want performance and redstone, use a fabric server.

Amazon thought it could compete with Steam because it was so much larger than Valve, but Prime Gaming's former VP admits that 'gamers already had the solution to their problems' in c/pcgaming@lemmy.ca

I am an extremely cheap and patient gamer. This is how I look at both the stores.

If I want free games, I'll go to Epic.

If I want good deals, I'll go to Steam.

Why would I go to Epic for good deals when it'll either have a good deal on Steam OR be free on Epic after a few months or a year?

Hey, having all of this inside a docker-compose.yml file is even better.

Thankfully, I'm using the docker version, which everyone should use.
