    Sleep-deprived Video here. In a backup of the server from October 2020, I noticed an interesting file in it. The file was called "core", and was about 1.4 GB.


    Here's the file's header:
    https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/449751970509750272/857236236174491708/unknown.png


    It also for some reason contains some text from... BukkitTelnet?

    Code
    4-bedf-4fb4-8803-fcbe160d4c83"}]}  
    ,"tfm.essentialsBridge.getNickname":"Lyicx","tfm.admin.isTelnetAdmin":"true","tfm.playerdata.getTag":"[#LetsCureCancer] [Asst. Exec]","displayName":"Lyicx","ip":"<censored>","name":"Lyicx","tfm.admin.isSeniorAdmin":"false","uuid":"1e2d0234-bedf-4fb4-8803-fcbe160d4c83"}]}  

    And also some raw Discord messages...?

    Code
    {"tts":false,"allowed_mentions":{"parse":["users","roles","everyone"]},"content":"RomanPlayer22 » name on discord"}  
    Code
    {"tts":false,"allowed_mentions":{"parse":["users","roles","everyone"]},"content":"walknt » hes EPIC GAMER forum mod"}  

    What the hell is this?

    Angel Island (saved as markangel.schematic) is an incredibly old town from 2011-2012. I don't know exactly when this was built as there isn't an accurate timestamp in the schematics, however other schematics go back to at least October 10, 2011. This was found in a folder containing some of the oldest server data known to still exist (most of the files have a last modified date of April 26, 2012, implying that the files were copied from somewhere).

    There is a sense of loneliness when exploring old schematics like this. A once fairly-populated city, now a ghost town.

    Vouch. The Essentials format is much, much, much more intuitive and better looking.


    When it worked on NetworkManager, it had a really ugly looking design that wasn't pleasant at all to look at. I guarantee that most messages would fit on one line instead of two or three if it weren't for the server prefixes.

    However, the Essentials format is far more compact and nicer looking. Most messages fit on one line and will usually only require 2 lines in rare circumstances.

    Remember: the point of /msg is to communicate information between two parties, not to look super fancy.

    My test server did not recover from this.

      Telesphoreo There is actually a hidden setting to enable a Windows 10X boot screen. It's new simplified logo with the new spinning wheel in place of the Windows 8 one.

    If I recall correctly, this has been present in many Insider Preview builds as well.
