How does Forge fit into all this (if at all?) I've never been to clear on that. Back when I used Bukkit, I was under the impression that Bukkit linked against something called forge, but I don't think that's correct.

My server's a distribution by feed-the-beast now, since it takes almost all of the pain out of the process. I know that's using Forge for sure, but there's an awful lot of moving parts in there and I'm cloudy on what's going on.

I wonder if the hackers understand the irony of fucking with objects in permanent orbit.

I don't think that really matters, because said objects are not in permanent orbit.

The ISS is in LEO, and is still interfacing with the atmosphere. It must be routinely nudged prograde to prevent it from deorbiting. Even if this cubesat "cannon" had the delta-V to push one of these into a high enough orbit to get away from this truth, the cubesat has no means to perform a complimentary maneuver at the top of the orbit and it's peri will remain interfaced with the atmosphere and it will fall back to earth.

My favorite is when it (randomly, as far as I can tell) kicks you into maintenance mode, whining that a restart is required to ensure boot archive is consistent.

Fucking thing... it's also a complete pain in the ass to use 4096-aligned storage when you've a Sol10 ZFS-root installation. You simply -cannot- align the fucker and it trashes your storage with 8x the I/O.

Agh! So much anger.
