  • In addition to what everyone else said, if you are hosting a server, authlib-injector is a thing that switches the auth server from Mojang to something else, meaning that there is actual verification of identity beyond just username.

    Multiyggdrasil is a fork of that that lets you use both Mojang and another auth server for maximum compatibility and security with friends.

    As someone who has run an offline mode server, it’s a question of when, not if, you get griefed



  • To add to the other comment, package managers keep a local copy of the list of available packages and the version. When you do a pacman -S xxx the package manager looks up xxx in the cache and downloads the package from whatever mirror youre using as well as any dependencies, looking them up in the same way from your cache. This works for a while even if theres a new update available because mirrors usually keep a few previous versions.

    Once you do a pacman -Sy you update your cache to the latest one. If you then update xxx, it will update xxx and pull in any dependency updates required, but any other packages that depended on the same packages dont get updated, leaving you in a partially upgraded state.
