hello gamers, gametes, and goombas. i have been working on a tool/webapp that allows you to import #minecraft schematics into vintage story. i've been blogging my progress along the way.

currently, it supports the litematica format, and i've just added (but haven't pushed) vanilla structure file support.

are there any other schematic formats i should add? the more popular, the better!

i'm aware of the following formats, but have no clue how popular/relevant they are:


there's a minecraft mod called litematica that allows you to export things you've built in the game to share with others.

i've been working on a project that allows you to import these litematica schematics into vintage story. it's still at a very early stage, but i've got the basic concept working :bun:

Easily transfer files from Linux to Android using these:

Reinventing the wheel.

OpenSSH server (or ftpd if you're so inclined to reduce overhead) on the Linux machine and Total Commander on the Android device. Full control, put the files where you want them to go the first time.

Some of these are useful for copying files to friends' phones or other devices (though Total Commander has that covered too as long as its same network).

File/folder syncing is a different use case and deserves its own article.

This week's comic: "Polarization" is a reality-obscuring weasel word

in reply to Jen Sorensen

completely disagree. Used polarisation precisely because it’s extremism becoming evident at both ends of the spectrum and mastodons might like to think on that.



Cold but sunny outside. Sir Wobbles is enjoying lounging near the window and observing the world. I'm sure he's thinking deep thoughts. #Caturday #Catsofmastodon #cats


This is so funny! I accidentally hit reply to someone who had responded to a post, and this came up! What a good idea. I thoroughly endorse this positive message of 'don't be a dick'. 😂

FEMA doing almost nothing in Tennessee

While the fat body-surgery cunt krusti doom is in charge of DHS, there IS NO FEMA. She's affectively killed it.



Ulven is sceptical about Caturday today but we aren’t! Hope you’re having a mogginificent day!

I am heartbroken to see that the journal First Monday is shutting down. I'm all the more grateful I got to check one off the bucket list and publish there last year. But it will be missed.

in reply to Nathan Schneider

OK, this is going to finally force me to ask the question I've wondered about for 20+ years: why was it called First Monday?
in reply to Luis Villa

"The name of the journal was chosen, First Monday, based on its planned frequency, with issues appearing on the first Monday of every month." firstmonday.org/ojs//index.php…
in reply to Nathan Schneider

Oh no! Thanks for the heads-up. One of my favourite-ever papers was published there. Exporting to PDF now!

Just feeling like this song today.

in reply to Muse

Not a big happy song, but a wistfully happy song. Even the wistful sort is helpful at this time.

@judell Yes, yes, yes! That's exactly the kind of intervention I'm interested in. How can we shift the practice of things from "do the thinking for you" to "help you do the thinking"?

Please @nextcloud you need to assign more developers to the Android app! The Auto-upload feature is severely broken for the past weeks and there are hundreds of open issues regardings this, but apparently only a single developer assigned to it. And every release makes it worse..
