    What date were you appointed to Admin? At least 12 months of active participation must have passed since your initial promotion date.
    I received admin on October 14, 2014. I was a Telnet Clan Admin prior to the rank being deleted, however I am unsure of the date I received that.


    Unlike Admin, Senior Admin is primarily a leadership position and you must be able to lead other admins in a mature manner and be a responsible representative of Total Freedom. Provide a paragraph of your accomplishments and why you think you’d made a good Senior Admin.
    Most of my leadership efforts related to TotalFreedom have been related to development. Historically, I was responsible for writing a good chunk of the code for TotalFreedomMod when the API for 1.13 was overhauled. I was also responsible for maintaining the custom TF- plugin bridges (TF-EssentialsX, TF-WorldEdit, TF-LibsDisguises). I unfortunately was not present for 1.15 development, but made many changes during 1.16 such as implementing bending and allowing OPs to use CoreProtect.


    Taking a break from development on TF, I also used to be the SMP Manager. I worked under Fionn and was a developer for SMPCore and also assisted with other SMP plugins such as SMPItems. I was also responsible for general server maintenance and stability since the SMP was being hosted by me.


    The biggest project I've undertaken so far is Plex. Now, I'll be straightforward and say that this is not an official TF project. However, I took initiative to form the initial team for Plex back in October of 2020. We thought Plex was going to be a dead project only a few weeks later. However, I got everything back together and we started making rapid progress on Plex (starting in December 2021). I led the development for Plex and so far we have (unbelievably) been extremely successful. While generally senior apps are supposed to be about me and everything I've done, I'd like to say that it truly was about working with al of the other group members that made working on the project enjoyable. Plex is not purely about me or the benefit of a server operator, but for all of the developers to grow and have the creative freedom to write code that truly matters. Even if we were to throw Plex in the garbage, or if not even a single person used it, the experiences I've learned from leading the development of Plex and working with the other devs has truly been a life changing experience for me.


    How often will you be able to perform administrative duties? (Including the server, forum, and Discord). State either daily, several times a week, once or twice a week, or less than once a week.
    Several times a week.

    Have you read and understood the note below? (Yes or no).
    Yes.


    Note: If someone asks you a direct question, you should reply. If someone objects and give reasons that you believe are incorrect, you may reply to state why you believe the reasons are incorrect; do not rage or get dramatic - just state facts and do not reply more than once; no debates.

  • GPU potentially failing

    Symptoms are reappearing again unfortunately. 22.3.1 is a known good driver for me as I've used it before and never had the problem until recently. I'll try and take the GPU out and put it back in

  • GPU potentially failing

    I've downgraded back to Windows 10 and am not immediately seeing symptoms. My PC is also much faster lol. Interestingly the latest AMD drives (22.5.1) wasn't able to install. 22.3.1 worked fine so we'll see if these drivers are any better.

  • Hubs suggestions/feedback megathread

    Vouch for removing the hub. I fully believe you can expand the servers without involving Bungeeing them and/or using NetworkManager. I've fucked up my windows install so once that's finished reinstalling I'll follow up with a more detailed post

  • TFGL violations and build failures - An advisory

    Hello,


    This is an advisory that many repos on my Nexus have been deleted. Unfortunately, I was not aware that BukkitTelnet was licensed under TFGL when Jenkins published those artifacts to Nexus. All versions of BukkitTelnet have been purged from Nexus. I am making this post because I can see they have been downloaded recently so someone is using them. You'll have to figure out a different way to get BukkitTelnet as a dependency in your code.


    Same goes for TotalFreedomMod. The actual TFGL version of TotalFreedomMod was never published to Nexus. What was being published was DummyTFM (https://github.com/Telesphoreo/DummyTFM) with the TFM package name. This was quite confusing so it has been removed and now only uses the actual package name (me.telesphoreo:DummyTFM:1.1c). DummyTFM was created as a loophole for TFGL which publishes the code signatures that are used for the TF- bridges. However, when it is actually ran on the server it will use TFMs. This essentially tricks plugins into compiling dummy code signatures that can actually be used with TFM.


    If you put Module-BukkitTelnet on the server either with no BukkitTelnet or an older version of BukkitTelnet that doesn't support Plex, it will now compile it for you in game (yes you read that right) thanks to Allink.


    It is unfortunate that Prozza would not let us keep BukkitTelnet up on my Nexus, but there's nothing I can really do. This basically serves as a warning for anyone contributing to any TFGL project: you're abiding to a license where you cannot distribute whatever you may wish to write in Object form.

  • GPU potentially failing

    ok so my GPU (RX 580 4GB) appears to be failing maybe. basically every so often my screen will turn a glitched green / purple / black for a split second. Around the same time I noticed my lights would start flickering. So I put my computer behind a UPS but it's still happening so that rules out spotty power (I think).


    So I was potentially thinking buying something like this. https://www.amazon.com/XFX-Speedster-Radeon-Graphics-RX-66XL8LFDQ/dp/B09HHLX543


    However, part of it is that I have a 450W PSU which isn't great. I don't wanna put a new GPU in and then the PSU gets fried. My CPU is a Ryzen 5 1400, 16GB of RAM, and a SSD.


    No idea if that really matters but those are my other specs. So I guess I'm asking if that GPU will work with my computer and if I'd need a newer PSU. My motherboard is a MSI B350M (https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B350m-BAZOOKA/support)


    I've had this GPU since I got the computer in 2017 so I'm not sure if it's headed towards the gutter. I really don't know what I'm doing so that's why I'm asking here
