    I would say self hosting is best. At least if you lose your domain name you still have your emails.

    Not updating a web browser is a fantastic way to make your computer very insecure. I understand the desire to keep things the same but personally I would value security above that.…

    And what is safe? C has well defined, tested, and documented specifications which layout exactly how to use C safely. Languages like Rust are more safe but nothing is just safe. If…

    > nobody wanted any more Tethers Can you provide a source on that? I certainly don’t want any Tethers but I know plenty of people that do.

    Could you clarify what you mean by “coming through education”? I would’ve thought that population representation is the definition of underrepresented because it shows they are und…

    It was a while ago but the ones I remember were email subscriptions, custom javascript, and custom instance support in the iOS app. Thank You for clarifying the reasoning. That doe…

    I self-hosted a writefreely instance for a while but I found many features were proprietary and only available in the paid managed hosting (write.as). All features that I didn’t ne…

    I’m surprised by the inclusion of Kraken here as Kraken has very strong AML checks if you want to deposit from a bank account. My conspiracy theory is that banks are using this as …
