As little as possible. This will probably be a low traffic site. I just want something cheap and not cloudflare.

 

I am considering hosting something and am concerned about DDOS attacks.

I am morally opposed to cloudflare because I think they are an unethical and shitty company.

What privacy focused solutions are there to reduce the likelihood of a successful DDOS attack?

Also what the fuck is a tiling window manager? I want it!

I'm sorry, can you clarify what you wrote? I read it but then got distracted by my cursor moving on its own while I was reading an article about xzutils. Perhaps I should read it again since it made no sense the first time.

I'm so happy.

But also liked when linux felt like a secret.

Microsoft finally did something right: they made their shitty product shitty enough for people to realize it.

i pay for everything in cash to avoid being tracked.

i use a multi-hop VPN and privacy browser

i use a private email services

i am terrified of being tracked and use linux

The last consumer product i bought was a probably-stolen bottle of head and shoulders that was illegally being re-sold by a poor vendor who lacked a permit. At the time, i did not have a cell phone with me and my wallet has RFID blocking build into it. I paid for it in cash. I kept it in a bag and showed it to no one until I used it in secret.

I finally saw an ad on YouTube after YEARS of not seeing that bullshit.

Those mother-fuckers showed me a head and shoulders ad. How the fuck did they know?

Fuck YouTube, fuck head and shoulders. I've decided to never wash my hair again, shave my head, and get as much dandruff as possible. I am just done.

i think there should be zero regulations on POC owning guns and all POC should have a natural right to ownership

it's because trump supporters are open-minded and accepting of all sorts of different varieties of older white folks

This is why the US lacks credibility.

When I hear about Tienanmen Square and all the protestors killed, I want to believe the US... and not believe China... and yet, I can't be sure that anything coming from the US isn't just made up garbage. It's probably not... but I can't really know!

It's a horrible policy decision too allow things like this and creates major distrust of all US government narratives, when almost all of them could be true.

the right to bear arms exists to protect people from tyrants

the whole premise of this right is that we can't trust the government to keep our liberty safe because they could become the tyrants. if one day some religious idiot comes into power who doesn't want women learning math, you may end up glad that conservatives have made it easier for women to fight for their liberty by refusing to allow these rights to be eroded

People who escape doom because of technological prowess don't usual tell others out of risk of antagonizing an adversary and inviting more conflict.
