@charliebrownau I do plan on using a VPS but for something else (a single user fedi instance). But thanks anyway.

@xianc78 Check out RackNerd

512mb ram / 1 core / 15 gig ssd / 500 gig per month traffic / 1gig link , 1 IPV4 IP - USD$23 per year - racknerd.com/kvm-vps

@charliebrownau I've triple checked it, yes. I'm unable to self-host at the moment because I don't have my own place right now.

It's hosted on a Git repository and it's licensed under the WTFPL so anyone is welcome to pull the whole thing and make mirrors.

@ArdainianRight You're talking about the same medical profession who think circumcision is the right medical decision for newborn boys.

This government is not your friend. This government is your mortal enemy. Be wary of it always.

@vriska You won't like what they will do to you years from now.

@charliebrownau Neither. Codeberg is a pun on iceberg. They're a Git repository host. And the only good one that allows static site hosting. GitHub is owned by MS and GitLab is cloudflared.

I've updated the article with information regarding the moon and how cooling effects of moonlight doesn't prove flat earth.

> Cryptocurrencies have the exact same issues as cash there

Cash is a physical thing that can be taken away. Transporting physical cash across borders can be hard, but not transporting a cryptocurrency. And lastly, if you're holding a pile of cash, it's obvious who has that cash; this doesn't work with cryptocurrencies. So asset forfeiture, the way it works now, can't actually work: it's difficult to prove who owns it or where it is, and transportation is instantaneous.

> And cryptocurrencies are most of the time much worse than cash as you don't get a massive world power for the stability


You don't get that guarantee with any commodity; the worth is what you can get for it.

Further, massive world powers have demonstrated, especially in the last few years, that they cannot be trusted to maintain the stability. You have even less of a guarantee with them. I see "No state involvement" as a benefit. Taxes are used to fund wars, since the very beginning of taxes. (A relatively modern innovation was maintaining the taxes during peacetime to provide bread and occasionally circuses: no one complains that the taxes are still collected and people come to rely on the benefits.)

> they're effectively corporation-baked money

So's a mutual fund, but in this case, it's not so much a corporation as a large group of people that are willing to use it as a medium of exchange.

> you might as well use things like gift cards or directly gifting some goods, where asserting trust is often much simpler.

I trust math and hackers more than I trust a government or a corporation. Previously:

OG Humans: :blobcatstrong: today i will calculate the size of the planet i live on using a stick and some moonlight
2022 Humans: :cirno_please: i need experts to tell me everything so i know it's not fake news

@abitgray @icedquinn That can also be debunked. Objects accelerate as they fall. The Earth also has to be accelerating in that case, but if that's true, then objects will fall FASTER if you drop them a second time.

I just got really spooked: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lyles.ogg

This is a recording of a flight attendant from one of the World Trade Center attack flights. She literally calls her husband with a scripted sequence and then at the end whispers "It's a frame" ("a frame" means someone has been unjustifiably blamed for something. In this case the "muslim terrorists").

Wow. A 9/11 conspiracy proof right under our noses, and I have never heard of it before. And yes, Wikipedia actually links to it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Airlines_Flight_93

Grab it before they censor it, I guess.
