This doesn't really change too much for the modding scene, it just allows the deobfuscation step to be skipped when setting up a dev environment. Mojang has already been providing official deobfuscation mappings for years, and before that we had community-made ones which were already pretty great.
There are already plenty of mods which drastically overhaul how major parts of the game work to get better performance, and there are some projects like Gregtech: New Horizons and CleanroomMC which have pretty much completely torn apart and rebuilt the game on older versions from before official deobfuscation mappings were even available.
I want to give you a belated "thank you" for writing this up! I had kinda been feeling like I'd reached a dead end with my whole gender exploration adventure, but you have not only inspired me to do a second (longer) trial run using EV instead of EEn (which I have just started), but I'm also gonna go to a local meetup for trans/enby/questioning people later this week. Something about your comment here really helped me get out of the rut I was in. Thanks for all your support!!! ❤️
This just made me do a quick search and now I have learned that the Godbolt compiler explorer isn't just some cool name, but actually the last name of the guy who made it (Matt Godbolt)
The number of times I've spent hours trying to figure out some obscure issue only to stumble upon a multiple-years-old stackoverflow post of myself asking the same question isn't that high, but definitely higher than I'd like to admit.
Re-reading your original question, it should have been pretty obvious in retrospect that I am not really in the target audience. welp, my bad :P
I didn't get any blood work done unfortunately, since my doctor's office refuses to do it without a specific request from my GP (and the whole reason I wanted to do a trial run DIY was because I can't realistically do this kind of stuff the legit way at the moment), so I just went with a dose a bit higher than the dosages I'd seen recommended online for "most" people and figured it was unlikely that that wouldn't be enough. Since I saw nipple changes almost immediately I assumed that it was doing the trick, but the expected other effects just never came and I stopped when my nipples had become large enough that I was about to start needing a bra to stop them visibly poking through my shirt.
I didn't really consider that the longer half-life was super relevant to the "startup delay", most resources I found online seemed to show it nearly reaching the steady state level after only one or two doses. If that was actually the problem that's a pretty big derp on my part, but I'm already planning to give it another shot once I'm not living at home.
I did estrogen monotherapy for about 2 months earlier this year. Quite frankly, the only changes I noticed was an immediate and significant increase in nipple sensitivity+size, and a reduction of nighttime erections. Other than that I didn't notice any of the early changes which I had been lead to expect within the first few weeks: no emotional differences, no reduction in skin oiliness, no changes in body temperature, etc.
For what it's worth, I was taking 1.4ml/week of 40% estradiol enanthate without any antiandrogens, am in my early 20s and have a very low body mass.
It's a whole bunch of splinter groups who all disagree with the modern "woke" church to varying degrees. For example, my parents follow of the FSSP, which refuses to acknowledge anything post-Vatican II and still insists on performing mass in Latin, plus all the regular "traditional" religious crap. If you listen to my dad discussing politics it's abundantly clear that he actively supports all the stereotypically Evangelical talking points, and isn't even particularly Catholic since he hates the Pope for being so "woke".
"I believe in one holy and apostolic church" my ass, you believe in your own church old man
There are better ISPs around, but my parents (who are the ones paying for it) don't want to switch providers because... reasons? At any rate it isn't happening any time soon, but once I move out I'll finally be able to switch to Init7 and be done with it all :)
It's only got a DMZ mode where I can configure it to forward all incoming traffic to my own router running behind it, but even in that mode it still has to NAT all the packets. IPv6 traffic seems to get forwarded along without much (if any) additional processing, but for hosting stuff publicly I would obviously need to expose IPv4 as well.
Even if the SYN packets were being ignored, the connection would still be unusable if there's enough incoming traffic for most legitimate packets to get dropped. And as mentioned in other comments, the router in question is a shitty ISP router which can't be replaced (although I do have a much fancier router with OpenWRT running behind that).
I spent multiple days getting SYN flooded to the point my router would crash and reboot over and over, and it stopped the moment I set up cloudflare and asked my ISP to change my IP. This was the instance which pushed me over the edge, but there had been smaller attacks lasting a few minutes each for years leading up to this.
It's the reason I set up cloudflare in the first place, so yeah. I was getting SYN flood-ed to the point that my router would just crash almost immediately, and after rebooting it the attack would resume after a minute or two.
