The day my bank does that, they have at least one customer less 🤷

Link missing?

While people will not like you monetizing their posts, it is ultimatly something that only runs on your website. Of course if you federate out the posts people make on your website, then people will be able to access them on other sites without seeing the ads.

Injecting ads in the posts themselves, and federating them out to other servers however would be a different matter and likely get your server defederated relatively quickly, especially if you try to track impressions through embedding images or so.

That analogy seems very contrived. You are not moving some other real place when you put on a headset. You might argue that some kind of VR group chat is moving you together with others into the same virtual space, but that isn’t the same at all as moving physically to someone else’s place to chat with them.

I think people in the VR industry that run after such flawed analogies are going to continue making mistakes like Facebook did. It is a sure way to burn money and the resulting products have no real market outside of some novelty interest.

What year was that picture taken?

But brings back memories, cool place!

It is relatively cheap to buy a second hand HTC Vive or similar and those play Alyx just fine.

So they are trying to sweeten a price that will likely come as a shock to many. Not a good sign.

Yes, I am aware. But that is not very helpful if you want to host something publicly or even just want it accessible from the random wifi hotspot you might use that more likely than not is IPv4 only.

Like literally all mobile (4/5G) internet connections are behind CGNAT, as is Starlink for example.

For landline internet connections it is indeed uncommon.

If it is really only a private server for your friends, and they are not completely computer illiterate, then a Wireguard VPN or similar seems like the safest option.

But generally speaking it isn’t that big of a deal to temporarily open a port and forward it to a game server if you want to play a round online.

A VPS is not really cost effective for that kind of usage. Maybe one with hourly billing like this: https://tierhive.com/

And bird photographers somehow?

I think the latest theory is that is was a landslide that caused a partial glacier collapse, and the force of that registered as an earthquake on instruments.

The exact issue that was finally fixed in the above release caused Conduwuinity to fail federation all the time. Synapse never had that issue. Yes, Synapse sucks in other ways, but be careful to think the grass is greener on the other side.

Hmm, I was hoping the source-code would give some disclosure on LLM use, but it is just a single commit and doesn’t mention LLM use. Call me jaded, but that feels a bit like covering your tracks to avoid that topic being raised.

Makes e2ee much easier that way.

I mean yes, Microsoft and slopcode probably plays a role, but it only got really bad once the LLM mass scraping started, for which I assume Github is also a major target.

And running your own public git forge is a real PITA these days for similar reasons.

The calculation is wrong by a factor of 1000, and even if it were correct, that’s like a week of typical container imports to the US 🤡

Looks like a cheap Cyberpunk knockoff, and come on… there is no way Berlin will look like that in 2087.

Any details as to why the database was suddenly corrupted like that?

And percived heat is likely higher due to higher air humidity. Seems like a bad tradeoff.

But with raising sea levels some costal cities will become more like Venice if we like it or not.
