They block VPN exit nodes. Why bother hosting a web site if you don’t want anyone to read your content?

Fuck that noise. My privacy is more important to me than your blog.

It’s a minimalist private blog that sets no 3rd party cookies and loads no 3rd party resources. I presume that alleviates your concerns? 😜

Are there instructions/hobbiest forums for just that?

The profit margins on cheap cars isn’t high enough yet to introduce EVs at that price.

What price? OP does not talk about cost at any point, they only require specific features.

nah, it’s better for information integrity to reply in the language you understand imo, comments translated using translator services are very obvious anyway and some people are multilingual

Sure, I agree? Maybe there’s a misunderstanding here and I should add that it simply would never even occur to me to enter a conversation if I didn’t natively understand the language that’s being used.

I often reply under Japanese posts, and I always assume users will use a translator as I do, but maybe in the context of a Japanese this may look rude?

Can’t speak for others (obviously, as this is about individual etiquette perceptions) but I would consider it to be polite to only enter conversations with unknown parties in languages that the parties have shown to be capable of speaking and understanding.
Using a new language entering a conversation would therefore signal either familiarity (“I know they understand me”) or rudeness (“I don’t care if they understand me”) to me, I suppose.

Never take any risks to improve the world, that’s how things are gonna get better!

No, I don’t think I’d agree with that.

How do you find out about it? Try to view the threads while logged out and not seeing your comments, I suppose?

Whether to flee or fight isn’t a very useful distinction, I think. It’s a false dichotomy.

Fighting someone or fighting for something in a way that risks your life just isn’t a very smart way to fight. Obviously run when your life is at stake. When you’re safe, fight.

What’s a bad upvote?

It’s so much easier to set up and install than Matrix.

Unbelievably so. Mumble is… basically one setup command. Don’t even need a domain. And it needs absolutely no resources, can run on a Pi Zero.
Setting up my own Matrix server was honestly one of the most difficult things I’ve ever attempted in decades of non-professionally using computers and I’m still not sure I’d be able to properly take care of the installation if it breaks. Sooo many moving parts. All the federation-oriented projects that rely on adoption rates reaaaaally desperately need setup wizards before any other additional feature.

Have started it up as well because I fear like there might not be much time to enjoy its benefits for much longer :(

Looks pretty neat! Too bad there’s no standalone installation, only docker.
