Also, do run the servers without using GUI. That way, you can configure how much RAM you're dedicating for MineCraft. A quick option is to use the command prompt in any operating system (Terminal for Linux and Mac, Command Prompt for Windows), and run the server with "java" command.
Processor is fine. The minimum requirements for processors is you need to have 1.5 GHz single core. I'm running on 1.6 GHz dual core, and nothing wrong is happening. The recommended requirements is at least 2.0 GHz, it could be dual, or single.
I have not compared both types of processors, so whichever you're using, it's probably fine, according to present day's standards.
A Minecraft server is actually pretty process-intensive. If several people are editing around the same area it may start to lag quite a bit if your processor is of average quality.
Trust me, I've hosted one 3 GHz+ single would be beneficial. I happen to have a badass old desktop that's 1 gig RAM, 4 GHz single core processor and it works fine for myself, my roommate and his friends. Again, I'd host for us, however, our IP is not static and our network connection is quite insecure.
Old setup? I have no idea what you meant by that. If it's my current setup, I have no problems with it. I have an average of 5 players in my world building and running away from creepers.
I felt sad that Notch gave up his Ludum Dare entry. But, there's more in March, I think...
Also, I learned from his codings that, to have graphics sprites in your program, I should try using BITMAP and Win32 API to load them into my program. But how to compile everything up, like a Java binary file (JAR file), it's really not like Java in C++.
The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
