I'm really curious here: What are you buying and dealing with crypto? I am old and I remember the first discussions about Bitcoin and other cryptos and the privacy topic was discussed back then. People were skeptical of the technology, exactly because every transaction was public and people were even more skeptical after others started to use bitcoin to buy drugs with it online. So why are you using technology that is not really suited for privacy by design and expect privacy?

You can get that feeling when learning something new as an adult, too. Your first python program is running? You renovated something in your home that your haven't done before? Planted a tree and it's having fruits for the first time? Changed the tires on your car? It's awesome!

That only shows how useless Googles search results have become in recent years.

Ok, that is a totally different use case than mine. I'm one of those guys browsing a selfhosting community on the fediverse and I only want to stream my own stuff to my mobile and provide my wife with audiobooks. If you're providing a bigger group of people with streaming services, who are not tech savvy, another software might be the better solution. But that doesn't mean that Jellyfin is bad - it's just another use case with different requirements

And it really doesn't help that Meta is making the most affordable headsets. I would like to try a Quest 3, I have the budget, but I really, really don't trust them

Yeah - those microtransactions are killing the experience. You never know if the level is just hard and challenging and that you need to practice more or if it is impossibly hard and only solvable with money. Or if you suck in a multiplayer game or if it is pay to win

But let's be honest - it really is not complicated. That was a one minute configuration in my router.

I just setup jellyfin and it totally is the same. Install. Point it to a media folder. Setup port forwarding.

Research what you are allowed to do with that land. In my country you are not allowed to simply buy agricultural land and start building stuff on it and that is the case in most civilized countries.

And those lifetime subscriptions are also a trap. They know that you have the money and are willing to pay and that you're using their service. Do you really think that some business suit will be satisfied by your onetime payment back in 2022?

I fear that Skyblivion will totally get a C&D now that Bethesda is selling their own remake :(

I use LLMs for some things and they are great, but to be honest, I haven't seen any real world usage of blockchains besides cryptocurrencies and NFTs.
