The advantage of self-hosted WoW is that you can cheat to your heart’s content.

So no more grinding if you don’t want to.

You can totally host something on carrier-grade NAT using techniques like NAT hole punching.

Couldn’t this prove very troublesome in combination with carrier grade nat?

Yeah, it’s an economics student running something on python. I can guarantee that it’s horribly unoptimized.

That’s at least what I got from the comment with the SSH port.

First, define what you are asking for.

Do you want someone to send you a cardboard box full of RAM? Then forget it. Nobody would be stupid enough to lend that much expensive hardware to someone on the internet.

Or are you asking for someone to let you run random code on their PC for a few hours? Then forget it. Nobody would be stupid enough to open “a single SSH port” to someone on the internet to run potential malware on their PC.

That’s exactly what cloud platforms are there for, and if you don’t like google, get any other cloud provider.

I don’t think OP wants you to lend them physical RAM modules but asks about letting his friend run random code on your high-RAM machine.

Yeah, might be.

Dailymotion should be a non-issue to get into though. It’s got free user access, it’s the 9th biggest content site by active users worldwide and I don’t think they have selective creator recruiting practices.

There are a few platforms. Nebula, Floatplane, Peertube. I think Patreon allows you to host videos directly on their platform too.

But none of these platforms offer free access plus a built-in ad function.

“work” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here when talking about a Fairphone. Worst phone I ever owned with quite some margin.

Yeah, especially in peace time. When war heats up and resources get scarce, you use the cheapest thing that does the job. But in peace time you feed your military contractors to keep them happy and to keep them researching and developing so you don’t lose out on modern technology development.

(For clarification, with “war time” I mean “being in a war that actually threatens the country”. The US hasn’t been in a war like that for a very long time. They’ve essentially being in “peace time” while having military training and testing facilities in the middle east.)

10 years ago I got into RC planes for a summer, and me and the guy were talking about how ridiculous it is that the milirary is spending so much money on simple drones, when they could just strap some explosives on a cheap hobbyist RC plane/drone for a fraction of the price, and just create swarms of them.

The technology had been widely available for some time already back then. Turns out, it was just lacking a war to do so.

(Just to be clear, we were all anti-war in general, this was just idle speculatiok back then. But if our country was attacked at that time, I’m sure some of us would have ended in a newly created drone force like what happened in the Ukraine.)
