bhay··on Random Ultima Online anecdote #2 – Horses inside players (2014)
Same for me! My first exposure to programming was writing mining macros around Vesper.
bhay··on TUIs
Have you tried Alacritty? I've found it's very good at GPU rendering.
bhay··on In second largest DeFi hack, Blockchain Bridge loses $320M Ether
* CryptoZombies is a good entry to Solidity that is pretty gamified and enjoyable.

* The solidity docs are very good - dry and daunting but not too bad to get through.

* Ethernaut has some great CTFs you can play with.

For me, I pictured them as the water aliens from Futurama's "My Three Suns".

bhay··on Flameshot – Simple, powerful screenshot tool for all major operating systems
I've used Flameshot for a while and can say it is definitely the best of many tools I've tried. The direct upload to imgur is particularly nice.
bhay··on NFTs Are a Dangerous Trap
Exactly! Too many people in this thread are making huge judgements based off a very limited knowledge of what is going on in the blockchain space.

I agree with OPs inference that the art market is going to get over saturated, but ETH ecology is not an argument against NFTs. Plenty of alt-chains exist and interchain marketplaces are being built as we speak.

bhay··on NFTs Are a Dangerous Trap
Your understanding is correct, however ETH is moving sharply away from PoW to PoS systems which are significantly less demanding systems in terms of energy requirements. I believe the roadmap expects the full PoS transition to happen this year (a multistage launch that we are partway through).

On top of that, there's other more specialised NFT blockchains like flow which are becoming very popular.

bhay··on Someone has stolen my Instagram account
This has happened to me previously on FB. Had an account, of my first and middle names, that I'd stayed up to get when they released that feature on FB. Both short names like LeoMark. Woke up one morning and they'd changed it to LeoMarkus, and given the old account to someone. Pretty sure something similar also happened on LinkedIn.

Was pissed off at the time but pretty happy with no Facebook account these days.
