Apologies for the late response, old bean, but I've only just returned from hospital.

I'm afraid it's my wife, you see; she was diagnosed with false column disease. We grieved in the waiting room, and by the time we made it back home, it'd already begun to take effect. She's gone now.

I will miss her company, but I must say the structural integrity of my domicile, in particular the patio that she tended to favor, appears to have increased precipitously, at least on a surface level.

Unfortunately Torment is not multiplayer :(

It's a problem that's comes up surprisingly often for many of us, I'm sure. Just last night, I mistook a false column for a large animal, and only after charging the beast multiple times with my trusty umbrella did I come to realize I'd been duped yet again by big column.

Few enough people use it i doubt they’ll do that.

I was going to suggest otherwise, but after checking the viewing stats on r/linuxhardware, out of 193k unique views in July, 7,300 were from old.reddit, which accounts for 2.8%, and that kinda blows my mind. Just a couple years ago the numbers were much higher.

The views on that sub have increased a lot over the last year, but engagement is the same or lower, so I heavily suspect a lot of the views there are just bots inflating the numbers.

That made me audibly snort 😄

Currently the best way is with Lemmyverse

He posted this update a few months ago, it seems to be progressing well!

Ahh, the ol put the rum in the banana shipment from Karamja method. A classic.

Regarding decentralized internet, your idea is being enacted! I posted a couple short docs about that over on !breadtube@slrpnk.net

Here's the first one, I'll go hunt down the second.

Edit: found it!

Matrix is the closest replacement, and XMPP can replicate some functionality too.

Fahrenheit 451 is certainly worth a read. I read it late in life, and could see immediately why it's so often read in schools. Very well written, and a compelling story.

Another book that you may find quite personally compelling is The Chrysalids by John Wyndham (Archive.org has a free audio book version), due to the themes it covers.
