I don't think it's possible to generate server chunks on client live, this would make it vulnerable to different kinds of attacks and exploits.

Best way to do this would be pre-generating the world or some server side pre-generation mod

There are appliances with only live wire switch? If that is the case it's horrible design, should always cut live and neutral for European reversible plugs

With single phase AC there is no polarity, when you plug something in you don't need to know which plug is live, it will work either way.

Its good, not "wow" good but still. Good pallette, nice detailing and it looks like a skyscraper

You can, just copy the world directory and see that it's the same name as in server.properties file

AMD gpus has better support but many have had decent experience with nVidia cards too. Cpu it doesn't matter afaik.

You can directly download Optifine as a mod, and is the only mod that I know even has an installer, so yeah that changed

I hope your sleep time doesn't include railing it

I love the clean look of GNOME and the way I open apps - press super and start typing it's name and enter. So simple, so fast. Also the overview is so good compared to taskbar for switching apps and for me. I only use Blur My Shell extension for even better cleaner look. The simplest, fastest de i've tried that works for my monkey brain

Sora shaders work fairly well with distant horizons. It doesn't look as good as no shaders but still amazing

Maps is good but most of the time the algorythmically placed addresses are off. Then I moved to OpenStreetMap (Organic Maps on Android) and everything is exactly where it should be. But it relies on people adding all the things to it and some places are missing a lot of stuff, but it's also easy to just add it yourself

I still dualboot Win10 for VR. Even tho my HTC Vive works ok on Linux it works better on windows. This would be the cheapest most hazzle free option for you too
