Having globally routable IPv6 addresses for each device doesn't prevent you from running firewalls.

I wrote a Matrix bot that can be used for my community to schedule gaming events. I just pick a time to play a particular game, and play with whoever shows up.
I use a combination of Matrix and Mumble, personally, as well as hosting the servers for each. But yeah, the convenience of Discord is hard to compete with.
The main things I run are for my gaming community: Matrix (synapse), Mumble (murmur), and a Matrix bot I wrote, Element (a Matrix client), OwnCloud (though that needs some maintenance), and a fairly simple website (using Grav, a flat-file CMS).
I am 90% certain it was never meant to refer to the generation that played it, but to the over the top action.
But they did mention that community servers would be able to pick which Anti Cheat they wanted to use?
As I understand, there are three tiers to this:
- Official servers will use FaceIt exclusively.
- Servers rented from official partners will have the choice of FaceIt or EAC.
- Community-run servers will only be able to use EAC, and won't be hooked into the global progression system.
One of the many problems with FaceIt is that the server-side component is not allowed to be freely distributed, which is why community-run servers won't have the option to use it.
Personally, there is no way I am buying this unless if they reverse their plans to use FaceIt.
Not necessarily true. Celebrities and Nitro subscribers also got early picks, and it isn't like they wait for each person one-by-one: you are in a bucket with others who might get to your preferred username before you.
Yeah, if you just want to use it personally, you should click Sign In in the menu, then Open Element Web, which brings you to https://app.element.io/.
Alternately Get Started then Download the app.
Either gets you to a client where you can easily create a Matrix account (on matrix.org).
On the tech side of things, the environmental impact of running traditional, centralized services is inherently lower than running any cryptocurrency off of a blockchain. To overcome the technical limitations would be to create another centralized service.
But yeah, there are almost certainly ways that traditional currency can reduce their environmental impact, too.
I feel like there are too many to list, but an obvious one that I don't see mentioned is Halo. The Master Chief Collection is pretty great, and has a ton of content that can all be consumed in short sessions (except for certain levels on legendary difficulty).
It is also still on sale on Steam for a little longer, if you don't have it already.
My only problem is being a misanthrope, and scared of the general multiplaying public, I’m always intimidated by public games, but I’d love to convince enough buddies to play a campaign through.
I have 183 hours in Barotrauma, split between multiplayer and the sub editor (and a little bit of testing my sub alone). I have never played a public game or single player, it has basically all been the campaign with friends.
Most recently, I've been hosting occasional Barotrauma events with my inclusive gaming community, each one continuing the campaign we started early this year. The last event was just over the weekend. I don't know when the next Barotrauma event will be, yet, but anyone who can follow our Code of Conduct is welcome to join!
For me it was Brotato.
