We need to boycott american hosting companies.

No, Dutch government, sign another contract with Microsoft, I'm sure it'll end well.

We're just about done with our migration from Azure to Hetzner at work. Should be completely Azure free by EOB Friday. Good timing this.

Your comment is very satisfying to read!

Welp... I just wanted to play Minecraft I bought but hey... I guess fuck me, right?

lol

Use an alt launcher and only play on non-authing (aka. cracked aka. offline) servers.

[โ€“] Fedditor385@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

That's like saying if your car doesn't wanna start, just take any other from the street. I have servers I play on and have stuff done. I can't just go somewhere else.

Wanted to play some Minecraft today :(

Its somewhat ironic. I'm sitting here iny free time while I took a week off. Read about AWS and Azure outages and smile at the thought, that I dodged a bullet and do not have to fix our servers at work. I finally have free time and I'm in the right mindspace to on that grind for resources tonight that I need for my next Minecraft build, but no.... sigh.

I just want to finish my iron farm in the freshly started world and then explore that huge lush cave that I just found :/

Use an alt launcher and only play on non-authing (aka. cracked aka. offline) servers. You don't need an M$ account for anything.

In the end, everything went fine. The login seems to work, I got my iron farm working and got the basic things down for my "Wait, I've got a dumb idea..."-build. Now I just need a fuckton more of scaffolding, bone meal and patience.

Ever tried to plant a 15x20 area with saplings, grow them into a single, huge, majestic tree (which means constantly shearing/destroying the leaves above the ungrown saplings from those that already grew big), so that you get a monster tree, that you then can carve out and make your home? Well... Yeah. That's going to take a while...

[โ€“] 30p87@feddit.org 4 points 2 weeks ago

That is, in fact, a dumb idea lol

A second outage has hit the Internet.
