I feel like the true decentralised approach to video that may work... Are torrents. Don't know if PeerTube works that way, but if you're allowing people to eat your bandwidth with direct streaming, you're gonna run into problems sooner or later.
Yeah, here in Russia the ISPs and IT infrastructure guys seem to be treating IPv6 like it has cooties. I can't find an article (and it'd be in russian anyway) but as far back as 2022, if you get IPv6 you can expect a variety of issues with it, ranging from "you need to reboot your router every once in a while" to "you technically have v6 but good luck actually browsing v6 internet".
And of course, why would they give you a stable IP when they can charge for it :T. At least it's only a third the price of a stable IPv4.
My current ISP technically provides v6 according to their site - but my connection doesn't have it, and since there's nothing about it in the years-old contract, I'd need to redo that if I want to complain.
There are usually plenty of choices for ISPs here, actually. But switching between them isn't likely to give me IPv6 since either they share a magistral or the hardware is just plain old. That, and IPv6 is just not a thing anyone markets.
...and with the current fuckery going on, I doubt many of them have budget for big upgrades. Or maybe even access to hardware to buy.
Oh yeah. Wonderful memories of psyching myself up to do Thing and then suddenly getting nagged to do Thing and dropping in absolute negatives on the good old motivation.
That's a wonderful example at the end there, gotta remember it when I talk to people who don't get why I was standing in doors dressed and couldn't go outside.
No, no, I know what hyperfocus is, it's the reason I no longer touch creative writing with a ten foot pole after getting bombarded with "but you wrote this one in an hour and it is awesome! just write another one!" :D
I meant that I am wondering if normal people just get the same productivity but without it being flipped on or off randomly, provided they don't get distracted by something. You know, kinda like learning that it's not just a tv thing that people can say "okay, let's do this" and actually sit down and do "this" and not have to beat their brain into submission first.
It's a bit wishy-washy. Food and housing bills are cheaper (a flat you own is like...$50-100 a month in a city that's not moscow), but anything imported can get really fucking expensive - either you get cheap crap from china, or if you have to get something name-brand it is usually more expensive than it is in europe. Like how Valve Index ($1k MSRP) was like $2-3k in the shops.
So a person outside of moscow can be living on $100 to $250 but not be able to afford any luxuries that could be more afforable outside of russia.
I would usually be sad to see another original RPG go 5e compatible but Neuroshima was infamously poorly designed ruleset, possibly worse than Shadowrun. I probably won't be running it, but may steal statblocks for my 5e game if I need weird stuff again.
Because when you've got like 4 hours a week of free time to prepare for the game, grabbing something 5e compatible and ad-libbing parts you didn't feel like preparing ahead of time is easier than learning a whole new system.
