I've only ever been to one IKEA, but at least for that one, there were somewhat subtle but definitely visible holes in the walls and displays to allow you to cut through the maze.
ETA: Also - again, for that one - if you know what particular item you want, you can find that item's location on the website and go straight to the warehouse to grab the item off the shelves.
I'm not sure if this counts as a centralized server in your eyes, but many popular games on Steam offer dedicated servers in both Windows and Linux.
I think all of the Linux ones require steamcmd, but personally I've hosted (in no particular order) Terraria, 7DtD, Cryofall, Don't Starve, Ark, and more. It's usually pretty simple and decently documented, as well.
If you're looking for a new one, I don't know where it stands, but I've heard that lemmy.world is starting one up.
The first time I heard anything by Ratatat, I was driving past a road named "Ararat Rd." It's a dumb connection to make, but it still makes me chuckle.
While this is true, I have yet to find a way to do this on any non PC interface. :(
While that's true, unfortunately I think the "getting paid" part might be the difficult part.
It does mine.
In theory, Ross Scott is (or at least was) trying to get something done about this. https://youtu.be/tUAX0gnZ3Nw?si=acNlZLK8MRqKWwgh
That was a wonderful reference.
Only once?
