I replaced my old Intel Core i7 HP ProLiant server with an Odroid M1 (ARM Based) and it consumes 2 watts compared to 72 that the Intel Server did.

The only thing I can't do with it is my Minecraft server, it runs all else perfectly. Even the Lemmy instance of this account is powered by the same server! And what's more it basically runs for free, as solar generates enough power for the server to consume, even when it's cloudy.

Yes, I believe Intel should be afraid.

Hey lovely ethanol - thanks!!, I'll let him know! He's not on Lemmy (should I ask him to make an account? >~>)

Wow! So magical

I actually like Flatpaks... I use dpkg/apt-get for system packages that cannot be installed in userspace, and flatpaks for desktop apps / games. Many distro's have unified ways to update them anyway (at least VanillaOS has)

We need a starterpacks community!

I think hed be pretty happy with that! That 13% may be less, but its all from 1 manufacturer or brand. They dont need to share a piece of the pie!

I did the same thing. I still am on social media such as lemmy and discord but its mostly to talk to people. And I havent watched the news since I was a child. Important things come your way eventually and I dont see it as being ignorant. Now I only receive information I can actually do something about if I want to.

Yeah moving items across games would be impossible at the moment. But I feel that with nft's, you at least get to own the item. That, and people get to make their own. It's not easy to add your own skin to Fortnite, for example.

I don't want to sound like I'm for NFT's, but I think if done right, it has a usecase.

True, I've been using DeviantArt and Patreon myself. But when it comes to gaming, there is something in people and wanting to collect. I think that where NFTs might make a difference is in gaming (assuming games won't be the profit-focussed, web3 "X to earn" kind of game and actually focus on storytelling, gameplay and land well with the masses).

For example, Fortnite uses all kinds of psychological tactics to get people to buy more stuff, folding ideas explains it well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPHPNgIihR0

I don't play the game myself, but I feel that this is where NFT might make a better alternative. You keep that ability to make things collectable without all the nasty bussines tactics (IF implemented that way, ofcourse).

Can you imagine, how much money went into all this and where it all ended up? It couldn't have gone up in flames, it had to end with some people. I don't think NFT's as-is have a future, but I think that NFT's will eventually end up in the hands of the masses in a format that isn't focussed on profit but more as a means to share, create and own art for digital games etc.

It was an idea indeed. Like a daily post per user, or even go as far as to synchronize it across users (so each user has a moment to post a new post). This is interesting, and I'm thinking about how to do it!
