Just want to leave some info for setups like this: Some old Games get confused with multiple Network Interfaces. What really helped me was using the cli Tool forcebindip forthe Person hosting the gameserver. It forces the Game to only Use a specific NIC.

In some games you can at least move some meters around if you have roomscale VR. But for every bigger movement than that you have to use teleportation.
We also get robocalls, had a few cases where neighbours got contacted by "Microsoft support". But one can report to the Bundesnetzagentur. Don't know how effective they are.
Isnt this what diaspora and mastodon are doing?
As far as I know did the old pr0 administrator developed Coinhive and tested it together with the new admin on pr0gramm.

But when he developed Coinhive he didn't even was pr0s admin anymore. Krebs assumed that the new admin is involved with coinhub and doxxed him too.
