Please disable by default the automatic call home and check for updates feature in Minetest, e.g. add -DENABLE_UPDATE_CHECKER=no to mycmakeargs in src_configure(). This will disable the update checker for new Minetest profiles. For old profiles one would still have to manually disable the update check by adding the following line to the respective ~/.minetest/minetest.conf file when Minetest is not running: update_last_checked = disabled Alternatively, it is possible to disable this by navigating to main menu -> "Settings" -> "All Settings" -> "Client and Server" -> "Client" and editing the "Last update check" setting to change its value to "disabled". Note however, that the update check might also run when Minetest is started but before the setting is changed. Thanks! PS: Minetest 5.7.0 was also released on April 8.

Funny, I was just thinking the other day if there was a way of disabling this. Thanks for the tip! Will push the relevant change shortly.
