  • Couldn’t remember the passcode of my phone a few years ago and I had been using this passcode for quite a while. I guess I only really remembered it through muscle memory and that somehow went away.

    I didn’t recover the muscle memory for the whole day so I decided to reset my phone and restore from backup, setting a new passcode. The next day I tried to unlock my phone and out of habit typed in my old passcode (that obviously no longer unlocked my phone), had a big AHA moment and that was that.

    Relying on muscle memory is not a great idea, mine left me for a good 24 hours before suddenly coming back.

    I have a few passcodes/passphrases like this but nowadays I store them in a password manager as well, just in case my muscle memory lets me down again.




  • World simulation (ticks) is single-threaded, but things like world generation are multithreaded. I’d recommend Paper as server software as it’s more performant out of the box (vs. vanilla) and configurable (ex. how many threads world generation is allowed to use).

    If you host multiple worlds I recommend spinning up a Paper instance for each world separately and connect them with Velocity.

    Ryzen 7000 should have better single-threaded performance than your i5-9500 but as it’s a VM ymmv depending on whether Sparked Host overprovisions their machines.
