#52Dictionary.com's slang dictionary says[1]: > Chad is a usually disparaging internet slang term used for a popular, confident, sexually active young white male. Its female counterpart is Stacy, who is often portrayed as Chad‘s sexual partner. Use of Chad is associated with the incel community and the website 4chan to refer stereotypical alpha males. [1]: https://www.dictionary.com/e/slang/chad/
‘Chad’ is common across the whole cyberculture and I’ve seen it used by many of my IRL friends: male, female, cis, trans, left, right and none of whom hate women or are incels. It was popularized in the 2010s by ironic image macros like “the virgin ‘walk’ vs the chad ‘stride’ “
Thanks for the context; I wasn't very familiar with that expression or with its current usage, hence my surprise.

#53I like the idea of the site, but yeah, the entire vibe around it throws me off - 4chan vocabulary (peasant/chad), call for donations in an obscure cryptocurrency, fully anonymous. Maybe I'm doing the site injustice, but it smells like being run by some 4chan/ancap/"don't tread on me" bro.
Its not fully anonymous, its by the youtuber luke smith. He has a video on it as well as links from his personal site. So whats wrong with that anyway? Nevermind the 4chanophobia, but its telling that that is the crowd in most pursuit of freedom.
> 4chanophobia
You say this as if being a 4chan user were some inherent, immutable trait, rather than a choice that reflects personal attitudes and values.

#55It is really disappointing that a free resource showing you how to run your own stuff on the internet has been flagged. Isn’t this the exact spirit of hacking?
And for those complaining about the donation links, this isn’t the app store, it’s the internet.

My opinion is that there are far more positive values that they have than people are willing to admit.

#57The method introduced here depends on third-party VPS, which is operated by person other than you. Hence it doesn't make you a complete "landlord".
Self-hosting guide is also there, slightly below in the page https://landchad.net/selfhosting/
Oh, I didn't notice. Thanks for pointing out.

I’d be interested to hear a specific expansion on this point (“hide” how? etc). I think the gp raises some valid concerns.
Have your Gmail account pull emails from your in box, have Gmail send as if from your email address.
Such an obvious solution when you point it out that way. Thank you!

But what about the technical content? Why are you so quick to jump to identities. And donations are the best way to give money - nothing is locked away and you get to choose. This style of site/information should be celebrated.
I was mostly thrown off by the word "landchad", because "chad" does have a lot of bad connotations - at best it's childish, at worst it's associated with incels. The technical content looks great and yeah, I can applaud the person's cause. It's just that I don't think the challenges of running your own server were ever just technical - if people have a motivation to do something, they'll learn much more complex stuff…
I think you're overthinking what's just some internet humor. I find the site quite personal and humane, and much more likeable than any PC-corporate SaaS blog.
