• A player-owned RPG - would you want to participate in such a game?

  Instead of use of Blockchain you could also use Freenet . The only bad thing here data could be lost, but mostly only data is lost when not used. This could be used to auto purge forks that most people dislike. If for example some reason there are multiple alternatives how the story goes some of them will die after a while and removed from system. Source: about 1 year ago

  An automatically space balancing solution would be Freenet. Given that it's content addressing, it's possible to push data into it and have it deduplicate automatically. Source: over 1 year ago

• Ash HN: My country is undergoing a coup, which encryption software should I use?

  Use briar. Use LineageOS without gapps (aka without Google Play Services). Obviously don't use Meta or Google apps, because that's where the backdoors are for governments. Use AppWarden to enable/disable/verify the usage of known trackers in your apps. Use NetGuard as an Android firewall.

• free tools to get internet

  Briar is a messenger that can use wifi, data, or bluetooth to send messages to anyone else with the app by automatically trying whichever connection works, this can be useful if only one of these options is functioning where you are. Source: 12 months ago
