I have to say, I'm pretty underwhelmed by the copper golem sorting farms in Minecraft. Maybe I just need to leave my character AFK overnight to see real progress, but these golems are ridiculously slow at moving loot through the pipeline. My setup feeds two double chests into a copper chest, which should be straightforward, but the first golem takes forever just to decide where an item belongs. I have a row of six golems each managing nine chests, yet the lead golem spends way too much time repeatedly checking the same storage boxes before finally realizing an item needs to go to the next stage.
It gets worse, too — I've spotted the exact same item types ending up in chests further down the line, meaning the golems are actually scanning a matching chest, ignoring it, and passing the item along anyway. It's frustrating to watch, and I've literally had to smack items out of a golem's hands so I can drop it into next stage chest to keep the system from stalling. At this rate, I'm ready to scrap the whole automated setup and go back to sorting everything manually.
A timely reminder regarding infrastructure hygiene: keeping self-hosted services updated is non-negotiable. Malicious actors are actively exploiting unpatched Plex Media Server instances via recent zero-day flaw vectors to execute unauthorized binary injections and deploy rogue cryptominers.
The DOH! Network experienced this firsthand yesterday when a minor version lag allowed an automated script to compromise compute resources, maxing out CPU utilization. Fortunately, telemetry monitoring caught the anomaly within hours before structural integrity was compromised.
I have never actually seen the first Lord of War, but seeing Nicolas Cage back as an arms dealer in the sequel looks wild enough that I might actually have to check them both out. Vertical just released the Lords of War official teaser trailer and it looks like he's going head-to-head with a mercenary played by Bill Skarsgård.
It's scheduled to hit theaters this January, so I guess I have a couple of months to finally watch the original before this one comes out!
