What you are looking for is local peer-to-peer file sharing. When I was studying, we used eMule, but that is for Windows and old. I don’t have a concrete software suggestion, but looking around the gnutella protocol could be promising.

Edit: QuantumCogs suggestion is also good, the use cases are slightly different.

Probably any “cosy game”. If I remember correctly there is a community on Lemmy.

Oh wow. I remember trying to play this as a kid for 2 hours or so. Since then I occasionally thought about it, because the concept is interesting, but could not remember the name.

Now I can check it out again.

Maybe make it look like a spam email? :-)

Write a web server with a countdown that sends you regularly a link via email to reset the countdown.

No, basically all licenses in the family are pooled together. You own game A and B, you can play game A, someone else game B. There are 2 licenses of game A in the family, two people can play it at the same time.

That’s the first thing I thought about when I saw this post. As a kid I loved the secrets in this game. I don’t know if it just seems so because I’m not a child anymore but modern games don’t seem to have this kind of mystery.

You could use React Native, so the language would be Javascript / Typescript.

Unfortunately, I don’t have a proper source. When I saw this post, the warning from reddit came to my mind and from the answers here I was surprised how many people open drives.

I assume, it is per hard drive such a negligible amount, that it could theoretically matter over a long time if you open a lot but that there is probably not a single medical proven case and the warning from reddit was overly cautious.

Edit: I found the post and comment. The issue mentioned was the cobalt. https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/17il3i3/comment/k6veo9c/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

Edit2: I went and searched a bit. This meta-analysis says they found no increased cancer risk for exposure to cobalt particles. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0273230021001288

As far as I know, the idea with holding gold in bank storage is, that if hyperinflation occurs, the currency becomes worthless and there will be economic upheaval, but it will not be the apocalypse. And then a new currency will be created and everybody who held physical assets instead of the old currency will be in a way better position.

I don’t want to ruin your fun, but the last time I saw a post like this on reddit, the top comment was: “Don’t open hard drives. They contain micro particles from wear and tear, that are as dangerous as asbestos.”
