Tbh, I have been to Iceland twice and I have managed to eat very well! (Italian here)

There is no much variety, but I have eaten very good lamb (as you are saying), stews (both mean and fish), even baked goods (there was a tiny house with very good cakes in the middle of nowhere in Westfjords).

My favorite probably was a fusion sushi place (I.e. sushi with local fish) in Seydisfiordur (the town where Ben Stiller arrives to in the Walter Mitty movie BTW). I don't think the place exists anymore (that was in 2018) but it was very good.

Sometimes you can find very good food in unexpected places (for example, I have never eaten better Mexican food than in Rovaniemi, in Finnish Lapland!).

I like Estonian Kelluke, a local carbonated lemonade. Probably mostly meant for kids, but hey...

I drank it straight from an old soviet tank sold in a parking lot. It tasted exactly like I expected.

I personally can't stand it, but chinotto is either you love it or you hate it.

Fun fact: the picture is for chinotto Neri, with the motto: chi beve neri, neri beve. (Literally "who drinks Neri, Neri drinks" but "Neri beve" sounds like ne ribeve "drinks it again").

I used to do this, but then why revealing even my domain. I have bitwarden integrated with simplelogin, and I get service_garbage@aliasdomain.tld

This way I can easily filter with prefix matching (if I want to), but don't reveal anything at all about me. Also much easier to be consistent, block senders etc. Plus, I can send emails from all those addresses if I ever need (e.g., support).

Looking at how this started, it's even more depressing.

I understood what you meant, not sure why you would assume otherwise. My point is that there is no need to invent new business models. Your proposal is similar to "pay with your data", a new business model that has negative consequences for the collectivity.

In case of these types of games, a flat rate for the game and potentially a pay-per-use without margin to cover hosting (minimal, can be factored in the initial price) and API calls (gMaps) could be an option. Or none of this, and they factor in the cost already in the initial purchase. Either way, to come back to the topic of discussion, asking a one year subscription for a game sold for free (to lure people in) is IMHO predatory behavior with no excuse.

Anyway, tl;dr money already exists and people can pay for that, we don't need to waste more computing power to find an alternative. The use of crypto incentives the overall crypto market which causes even more people (or companies) to waste energy for nothing.

This feels like a technical approach for a solution to a political problem. We shouldn't normalize a solution to a predatory approach that companies have, we should regulate so that the approach can't be taken by companies on the first place, we should foster competition so that those who do are going to be outcompeted etc.

Wasting even more electricity to compute numbers used in an unstable speculative market with no clear future is IMHO a completely wrong approach to the problem.

Objdct storage is anyway something I prefer over their app. Restic(/rustic) does the backup client side. B2 or any other storage to just save the data. This way you also have no vendor lock.

There are a lot of russian speaking estonians in general, not just in the east. Tallinn has quite a big population for example (Tallinn has basically 30% of the population of the whole country).
