These are tutorials of how to do things with computers.
NOTE: As always, this article is a joke. These are not necessarily the opinions of Info Toast or its authors. I took a 40-day break from Discord for lent recently, and it was a much-needed social media cleanse. In this article, I shall tell you, yes, you. How you can get off of discord and…
So, you installed FreeBSD hoping to get a clean system with every package made specifically for it. You soon find out that the package manager doesn’t update regularly and you wind up getting security vulnerabilities unfixed for longer.

Due to some difficulties with 1.17, Baritone has had trouble updating to 1.18. Luckily, we are finally beyond that, and everybody can now install Baritone on Minecraft 1.18.2. Unlike the previous tutorial, this tutorial will show you how to install Baritone using the Fabric mod loader. This also means you can combine Baritone with mods…

That being said, you probably should have several years of Java coding under your belt before you attempt this. The Spigot…
Mojang changed the internals of the game a lot in 1.17. The most important internal change they made was that they switched the minimum required Java version to Java 16. However, because they did that, the strategy for optimizing Minecraft for M1 also changed. This tutorial will show you how to optimize Minecraft 1.17 or…

I have praised BSD’s Ports, where a source code tree allows you to install packages from source with all their dependencies.
