    i have done that and with 1 player it's a struggle

    wow realy?
    I've run a little server for me and my boy and we never had any issues.
    Did use docker itzg and was suprised that it runs so smooth on so little.

    Which minecraft version was/is it running?

    Also, is the stats page by @MrEd up yet for this year's thread(s)?

    It has been up for 7 hours already ;)

    Pardon. Had a lot of stuf going on. So, even missed the beginning of the thread. Anyways, not going for anything this year for sure. I will be online for an hour or two tops everyday for the next week. Hope the CHef does arrive in that time.

    I would like to be here when resource GAs will happen :) But as I already mentioned, my home laptop is almost dead, so I can mostly only participate during work hours. At home on phone it is impossible to compete :)

    Weren't you the one that snatched a giveaway on phone last year while driving? My memory is distorted, might be some other person.

    It's not that hard to achieve although you will need a residential IP or get yourself some headless chrome coupled with residential IP and bam you get yourself a working scraper but make it so it only do that for every one minute or so mass scraping might get your ip blacklisted. I believe that's how ed do that. The scraper runs at home and sends data to vps at short intervals(1 minute?).

    at this point I am just interested in mechanics. since it's already being handled by @MrEd - i see no reason to do it myself. but I do have experience in that area. at some point being super super lazy to translate dozens of my websites to dozens of languages, I actually did an AutoIT based translator (with headless chrome, or as they say - ChromeDriver) that automated-ly translated site texts from english versions in my PHP files and into all those languages using DEEPL and Google Translate (way more languagues, but DeepL is better IMHO), took about 30 mins to translate 1 site... Spent 2 days making the script, then another 2 days auto-translating 30 or so websites, which would have taken weeks manually (4-5hrs per website, as I timed 1 that I did manually)

    @Homwer said: But 80% of the people buy these special offers because they are special and not because they have a usecase :D

    True. I have two vps at Racknerd now and one is idle.
    Maybe I'll try running a minecraft server on it. Tho it will probably be an older version (like mc 1.12.2) due to ram limitations. (Modern minecraft is pretty heavy on ram now)

    How much do you have?
    You can run a little server with 2-4 players on 1 gig of RAM as long as u dont use plugins.
    Vanilla is quite great for that.

    Paper is also nice, but not avaliable for the latest version

    My vps only has 1 GB of ram. I'll probably use fabric + some optimization mods on my server.
    I expect only 2-3 people to be online at the same time.
    Otherwise i'll add like 1 GB of swap :sweat_smile:

    Hey, dude. How are you doing?

    Doing pretty good. Tho I have to do an internship for school (5 months, about 2.5 months still remaining), but it's unpaid. (companies are not required to pay their interns for this study).
    So I am working like 50+ hours a week. (40 hours of internship and 10-14 hours at a paid job)

    GTK. Hope everything's good with the family as well.

    Yeah we doing good now :)

    Again, dude, really glad to know that. I do remember you were a bit worried around the same time last year.

    Yeah my brother had a problem with his heart. They had to do CPR for ~30 minutes to get him stable enough.

    Well, you didn't give the specific deets last year. That's scary, and am glad you guys are over that now.

    Not while driving, but I caught I guess one GA on phone. Others were like 7th-10th, so no luck :)

    Oh yah, yes. Last year, even I was able to grab a GA on my phone, Ig, it was a 2GB VPS> But, I did win 2 resource upgrades as well.

    1.21.8

    Oh! You are right, they added leaves, brown leaves on the ground and that made the server nearly unplayable!

    Yah, that changes quickly. The final results are going to be drastically different from what we see right now.

    Its a bit of truth, but a bit of a lie :) I need a residential IP, but no headless browser is used. And technically, the part on residential IP is not sending anything :)

    Residential IP is a must for scraping CF protected pages, ain't that right?

    See I was right, residential IP, although scraping can be done with selenium or headless chrome you are free to explore multiple options for the same.
