Ah, that makes more sense then. Thanks.

Not sure I understood everything, but it reads as if the image creator added secrets into the image? Wouldn’t that be the problem of the image creator, instead of people using the image?

nope, I honestly think NFTs/Crypto/Blockchain/Web3 stuff was a bigger bubble, in that it was a technology that has practically NO real use.
AI is definitely more useful. Yes, the money pumped into it is possibly far more than into Web3 stuff, but I think the big players like MS, Alphabet and so on would not invest heavily into it, if they did not see huge potential.

Oh shit, I remember there WAS a game. I believe I bought a Geforce 2 MX or sth for it…could have been an FPS, possibly Unreal Tournament.

I just hope it gets to be available here some time in the future. I don’t want to back something for 15 dollars just to have shipping added for probably the same amount.

My vote is also on Proxmox. I also started out with a mini PC about 6 months ago and installed proxmox. It has a few quirks regarding its disk usage you have to get used to, but its UI and setting up of VMs and LXC containers is so simple, you do not need any manual. You can easily build and tear down linux machines and play around with them. You cannot run docker images directly, but I use an LXC ubuntu container to run them, works flawlessly.

Which I don’t find reasonable tbh, at least for open source stuff. You are not actively supporting the Russian government, and a lot of Russians also don’t support the war. But to each their own.

I got myself a used/refurbished Lenovo ThinkCentre M910q Tiny, which works pretty well. Put in more ram and bigger storage and it is pretty beefy now as well as silent.

I use cloudflare and have a dyndns client running on my synology nas

You can’t keep anyone, at all, not porn, not Zuckerberg, not Nazis, nobody, off the Fediverse. It’s actually impossible. All you can do is defederate the things you do not wish to associate with.

Isn’t that possibly creating echo chambers again?

I was just thinking about that, what exactly is the added benefit of a blockchain game?
I can only imagine it being about drops being NFTs. However even then I do not see any tangible benefit for the players, I mean trading items can be done without NFTs as well.
