Wait really? God damnit :(

You’re good! And always remember:

It’s not about how much days is left in your life, it’s about how much life is still in your days!

Stay strong and keep on trucking!

What? No… Where you even get that idea

What do you mean “cultural differences between smiling even in modern day Russia”?

Thanks, I’ll try it

Tor nodes are getting agressivly blocked, it either connects so long it errors out, or don’t connect at all. Don’t know what bridge is, but I’ll look into it.

Gonna check it out! Does it work with other coins (other than bitcoin)?

what are trying to hide from?

From the goverment (not US one). I need proxy for basically accessing many normal sites (like spotify, or twitter for example) that are banned in my country.

just because you’ll pay in crypto doesn’t mean you won’t be linked to that transaction

Well, I’ve heard some info about crypto not being completely anonymous, but I think it would be much harder to trace, than a credit card that has my name and adress on it.

there are many other non-crypto options

I’m honestly open to discover those.

you can pick a country that doesn’t give a fuck about it, and if all else fails, go there and pay in cash

My VPS is now in netherlands. No way in hell I can travel there in reasonable amount of time and money. And I’m pretty sure no VPS providers that are accessible to me allow to pay in cash.

I hear what you are saying, but cryptocurrency route is for now, for me the most optimal way to atleast somewhat up my security. Again, if you have any methods to pay online anonymously (and that works not just in the US) I’m all ears.

Thank you for listing some suggestions, I will check them out! If I find something better, I’ll tell you

I considered making a monero wallet, but the problem is, that I’m not sure if my vps provider supports payments in monero. Although if it is, it’s the best option

Thank you! I’ll check it out

Russian goverment rn is as close to communist party as elon musk is close to poverty

This was always the plan, to put a world in your hand…

I joined .world because there were c/hopeposting

Well chicken maybe as it is the most cheap meat. And it is subjective, but something like chicken soup (if cooked at home) can be relativly cheap and really delicious.

Also, just thought about it - fruits and berries also easily break this trinity

Well, lemmy isn’t reddit, if one instance is down/closed then there’s a thousand other ones where you can go. So there’s no one big server that be overloaded from api calls - more like a million of them sharing the load.

As far as funding goes, each instance would decide on there own, but in the end most of them would settle for a patreon page or something similar.
