    What is wrong with anvils? Why people complain about the level-limit?

    Many people complain that there should not be a level-limit to anvils. However, I have never encountered this issue IF I'm using it properly. I have made the perfect armor / tools with all the best enchants multiple times (on vanilla), and if you combine the books in the correct order, you never reach the limit.

    [Java][Vanilla][Survival] Second call for players for Lazcraft SMP!

    Hello everyone. A month back I posted about our new vanilla SMP server, Lazcraft. We received a few applicants and are having a great time.

    This weekend or the next we will be having the Ender Dragon fight, so this would be a great time to have a few more players. Our server is semi-mature now. We have an iron-farm, a slime farm, a trading hall and various other farms. This is perfect for players who want to skip the early game.

    We have a relaxed atmosphere with young adults. As of now, most of the players are from the Asia timezone.

    If you want to join, please put the following details in the comment below.

    • Age range - below 18 / 18-25 / 25-30 / 30 above (not an age restriction. Just to understand the range)
    • Region - EU/East Coast/West Coast/SE Asia
    • Timezone - GMT+-??
    • Type of player - Builder / Technical player / Explorer / PvP expert

    If I find your profile preferable, I'll send you a link to our Discord server via DMs. Please check the original post for more details.

    Some technical details about the server

    • MC version 1.20.1 with Fabric with some performance mods
    • Running on Oracle cloud
    • Vanilla with some QoL mods
    • Daily backups

    Should I switch from the older OEM kernel to the newer generic kernel?

    I am using a Dell Latitude 3420 (Ubuntu 22.04.3) and it uses a slightly older OEM kernel 5.14.0-1048-oem. The generic kernels keep getting upgraded but are never used. The current generic that I have is 6.2.0-26-generic and 5.15.0-79-generic.

    So I have 2 questions

    1. Should I leave the kernel as it is? Some threads online say it's better to leave it as it is as an OEM kernel is better for Ubuntu-certified laptops
    2. If I should change the kernel, what would be the best way? I don't want to hard-code the kernel version.
      • If I have issues in the latest generic kernel, I should be able to roll-back to the OEM kernel.

    [Java][Vanilla][Looking for players] Lazcraft SMP!

    Hello there!

    I have recently created Lazcraft SMP, a Java vanilla SMP server. It's just been over a week and we haven't even fought the Ender Dragon. We have around 6-7 players with mostly 3-4 players online and we are looking for a few more players. Most of the players are late teens and from Asia timezone.

    The server atmosphere is chill and relaxed. The spawn is on top of a beautiful Cherry Blossom biome. We are focused on exploring the game and not trying to rush any objective. Most of the players are builders or explorers (I am the only technical player on the server). We would be delighted to have people of similar temperament from the Lemmy community. If you would like to join us, please comment below

    • your general location (Country/Timezone)
    • your age range (late 20s/early 20s/teen)
    • your play style (PvP player, building, technical player)
    • what you want to achieve in the server in the long term

    If I find your profile suitable, I'll share a Discord link (sorry Matrix users 😔) where I'll share the server IP.

    [Feature Request] Tabs with custom selection of communities

    We already have tab for subscribed / local / all.

    Can we add some custom tabs to that list?

    I have quite a few communities and some communities are more active than others which causes them to fill my feed. The current solution is to visit the community individually but can we make a short collection of communities which I can see all at once?

    Example: The tabs (which can be created by the user) might be like technology, shitposting/memes, hobbies. The user will fill each tab with their own list of communities.

    I'm not sure if it's the right place to ask this since it might be better to ask lemmy-UI for this feature but just putting this feature up here.

    Ubuntu trying to install snap AND Firefox even though I have removed them a year back

    I just tried to upgrade Ubuntu and I suddenly see that new packages want to be installed; snapd and firefox. I don't need Firefox because I'm already using Firefox-ESR as a deb and I certainly don't need snaps.

    Why is Ubuntu doing this? I get it you like snaps but I don't, so don't try to force install it. I had to use apt-mark hold to block the install of snapd and firefox. This is also not an isolated incident. I just checked Reddit and someone made a thread 8 hours back regarding the same issue.

    This thing is giving me Microsoft vibes.

    The upvotes are not aligned, which causes the post to be shifted a bit
