Minecraft after the holidays: view-distance 32 kills the server, not the player count
Quick reality check: On Monday the clans come back. Not ten people one after another — twenty at once, Discord open, view-distance on 32 because “you can see further”. The server that held 20 TPS at 03:00 in the holidays with four players sits at 8 TPS at 18:00. Not because to…

Quick reality check: A ticket bot and a Paper server with twelve friends on the same VPS is often fine. That same bot plus Lavalink plus Rust on a force wipe is not. Linux will not kill the bot first. Linux kills the process that wants the most RAM in that minute — and during…

Why Game Servers Get DDoSed More Often Than Shops in 2026
Quick reality check: A DDoS against an online shop often just makes the site “slow”. Against a game server it makes the match unplayable. In 2026 that is not vibes — it is what communities deal with every week. Shops sit behind HTTP, CDNs and WAFs. Minecraft, CS2, Rust, FiveM…
