But if the user is over 18 then you need only the year without month and day.
If the user is 17.8 years old you need the month. If the user is 17.95 years old, you need the day.

So, don't use Digital Ocean? They are far from the only fish in the sea[1]. Vultr stands out, they offer Bitcoin and WeChat Pay as alternative payment options to the usual Paypal and credit card methods, and they have an awesome ISO library that includes OpenBSD. They aren't the only provider with those options but they are my go-to. [1] https://lowendbox.com/
vultr requires credit card verification before you can pay using bitcoins

And if you don't like Firefox Quantum for its own egregious privacy issues, you can use Waterfox. The next major Waterfox release will have all the speed enhancements of Firefox Quantum without the privacy issues.
What are Firefox Quantum's egregious privacy issues? All I'm aware of is the encrypted DNS experiment which is a huge, unqualified privacy win. I'm not aware of anything it does that's objectively worse than the privacy catastrophe which is the status quo. Perhaps you are angry because it doesn't send your DNS requests in the clear to Google's 8.8.8.8 service? Perhaps you are angry because you don't like encrypted co…
Off the top of my head, forced telemetry (even if you turn it off in about:settings some stuff gets reported back to Mozilla); Pocket and Sponsored Tiles, the former sends Mozilla the URL and form data for every site you visit, the latter has complete access to your browsing history so it can show you "relevant info"; Adobe DRM and Encrypted Media Extensions (some people don't like any DRM in their browser, I don't have an issue if it's trustworthy but you're asking so I'm listing); and a minor, easily corrected nitpick but they went back to Google as their default search engine. My problem with that is every update (so far) ignores user settings and changes it back. This can lead to unexpected unwanted searches via Google.

Would you mind elaborating on what those egregious privacy issues are for those of us who don't follow particularly closely?

It's related because it's being reported by a user of ProtonMail into a ProtonMail forum. What you say about it being relevant to just about every page is definitely true.
Then the title should reflect this. At the moment the title seems to imply (wrongly) that this is something specific to ProtonMail. I took the comment to be about clarity.
the language detection is done client side; many years ago I pulled the code out to use it in another project! presumably she had "automatically translate" on...
what are the rules that cause a page in your own language to be translated?

Why then they offer free fully functional CDN-like service, free SSL ? Data is new oil, and CF has all data in plaintext - your logins/passwords included.
Because... a. It's really cheap for us to offer that service b. Lots of those free customers end up upgrading, paying for extras, etc. Between a and b offering the free service makes sense. We make money from the customers who pay us for our service ( https://www.cloudflare.com/plans/ ), not from doing something nefarious with data. We'd be shooting ourselves in the foot if we did because that data is our customers d…

You don't need anything, just the user's affirmative confirmation in response to the prompt, "Are you 18 or older?"

Except the government and the police, just like every other country.
With heaps of oversight and red tape.
