You're saying that modifying connection settings that will make something work with everything on your system is considered more complex than using custom software?
Also, OpenNIC TLD's are indeed TLDs, Tor's .onion is not really the same.
I found https://www.orangewebsite.com/ - no idea if it's trustworthy or not, but they promise "Signing Up Anonymously", paying with BTC or Cash-per-mail, etc
How does this work? Normally I download and install TTF files and install them on my computer. How are licensed fonts work? Is there some kind of proprietary installation?
If you (the end user) download and install a font on your machine, or buy an OS with it pre-installed, then you (the end user) are paying the licensing for it.
If you (the website operator) link to a font from your CSS file so end users' browsers will download and render text with it, then you (the website operator) are paying the licensing fees.
That is the most insane thing ive heard. Am i to pay extra for every person passing by the billboard ive designed?! Who thought this was ok?! So i could go broke if my website goes viral for the wrong reasons?! Insanity.
If that hardware isn’t on your own personal private premises, then you can’t really be said to own it.
Even if you really did buy the hardware from somewhere else and shipped it to the co-location facility to have it put into what is supposed to be a private cage, you still don’t own the premises, and the co-location facility can choose to let in anyone they want.
It's deployed in a test network. The carbon footprint of this little experiment is negligible:
"This application would be able to run 'forever' - so long as there was some funds in an Ethereum account that could be used to run each 'step'.
However, the cost of Ethereum (and therefore 'gas') used to run smart contracts is so high that it would cost (in March 2021) over $80 just to register the smart contract, and to run a single 'step' of the game would cost over $2,000! No doubt that the code could be made more efficient and consume less resources, but hey that's just too much work for a concept app, so I have simply registered the contract on the Kovan test network instead, and use some 'fake' Ethereum to run the system. The app is the same, but it just points to the 'Kovan' test network instead of the Ethereum mainnet."
