if you really only played it and it didn't abuse some zero day in vlc (extremely unlikely), the there's basically zero chance you could have activated a virus.

But it's definitely possible to ship a virus embedded in a playable mkv file, but something else would have to extract it first, for it to do anything

I'm kinda sad that theres almost no new work being made on top of it, seems even more promising than yggdrasil in some aspects

yes, it and email are probably the two most widespread ones, i didn't include it because it's already pretty known

yesss i love to find even more projects

the problem i see with nostr is that it implements a bunch of pro-cryptocurrency ideas: like paying to use relays for example and with all the sustainability issues regarding crypto and us wanting to create a better network, i would like to leave money out of it

Interesting ones i didn't know about^^
