But you always have the option to learn another language. It just takes some effort. It is easier to do than it ever has been before in history.

Orange pi zero 3, 1.5GB. plenty for pihole and 30€ instead of 100€ or whatever bullshit RPI is charging these days.
And if it was an issue on github:
Closed: "couldn't reproduce" 10 seconds after that last comment.
Capitalists making use of and profiting from socialist programs and structure is a tale as old as capitalism.
Pharma as an example. Crowdsourced research, government funding with money from the people only to be bought by a capitalist corpo where they do the last 10% of the work by industrialization, jack up the price by 1000x, and take 100% of the profits and don't even pay back their fair share in taxes, and then get a state-sponsered monopoly for an outrageous period.
Coming soon, they will unveil the Huawei xxMatexx XTX Pro X design.
But piracy is a product of their free market, don't they want their mythical free market to be a free market?
Or maybe that was always just bullshit and they rely on using their money to suppress competition while they deliver a terrible, inferior product.
OK that is fair, though that is not self hosted...
VPS machines are a completely different beast than self hosting. But I guess I only said home use, not specifically self-hosting though we are in a self-hosted community. There are 1000 guides for setting up a VPN on your home network.
To be fair, if something is open by default or very easy to enable without informing about the risks, tons of people will have it exposed without thinking.
It isn't that "tons of people do it so it is normal and perfectly fine" but more "people don't realize." It also uses some nontrivial amount of resources to process and block those attempts, even if they never have a chance of getting in.
There is yet a reason I can find to have it forwarded for home use. Need to ssh into a machine to fix it? VPN.
There are plenty of secure web-based tools to manage your server without a VPN also.

https://hexbear.net/comment/5253718 top comment, massively upvoted
https://hexbear.net/post/3232536 - more "all Ukrainians are Nazi rhetoric"
https://hexbear.net/comment/4594619 - more "the war is just a local conflict with everyone on Russia's side" propaganda that is heavily upvoted. Objectively false. There is way way more nuance than that.
https://hexbear.net/post/3394475 - Russia never does anything wrong. It is just Americans who of course blame it on Russia
https://hexbear.net/comment/5113469 - Russia never does anything wrong. It is actually a conspiracy that Americans did it
https://hexbear.net/comment/5084604 - Russia can do no wrong. Russia is destined to win and take the lands they want to annex
https://hexbear.net/comment/5084494 - yet more Ukraine genocide rhetoric, straight from Russian propaganda
https://lemmygrad.ml/post/4112194 - literally regurgitating unsubstantiated Russian propaganda. Literally one person saying "if you just blindly believed Russian propaganda 100% of the time, you would be right 70% of the time"
https://hexbear.net/post/2763869 - "Russia is extremely generous with these terms", they only have to give up their land to glorious leader of Russia

Literally exactly the definition of Putin's post-socialism authoritarian Russia....
Like "the enemy of my enemy" can only take you so far. Like when Putin blatantly poisoned a political opponent and everyone on hexbear was cheering them and saying "I'm surprised it took them this long"... Supporting a murderous regime because they happen to be against an exploitative corrupt regime doesn't even seem like a valid solution to me.
Then what about when they constantly refer to the rhetoric as "truth" how Ukraine was full of Nazis that were genociding the Russian minority and how Russia invaded to save them and has committed exactly 0 war crimes?
I completely get that the US is not a good guy, most of western civilization was built on exploitation, imperialism, and subjugation of people. I even understand the great things China has done as far as huge quality of life upgrades for their people.
But Russia is only similar to china in that they propagate huge anti-US propaganda and technically support each other as an anti-US coalition.
Russia is also extremely imperialist, always has been, and literally has annexed (or tried to) multiple nations in the past decades, and is currently trying to do the same. Russia is everything that hexbear stands against, yet they unequivocally support them without any doubt.
Go say literally any critical things of Russia in hexbear. You will 100% be down voted to oblivion, if not banned. If you say anything against Putin being the greatest leader in recent history, you will be down voted to hell if not banned. I have yet to see any critical speech of Russia on hexbear that didn't get removed or down voted so hard that the comment will never see the light of day.
I understand being Anti-US, but if Russia was in the US's position, they would be just as bad if not worse for the treatment of people and propagating imperialism. Then to censor people about it... I can scream on other instances about how stupid the US is until I pass out and I wouldn't get banned. That is TruthSocial/theDonald/Twitter territory.
You know that on Snapchat the messages aren't deleted anymore right? They are stored on your phone and the Snapchat servers. That is how "memories" works, and there used to be screenshot workaround to grab the photo back after the fact, but I am not sure if they have hid them better by now.
Snapchat is not even close to a secure messaging program...
90% of American commercial services that is.
Online services or many/most European services have more proper 2FA (TOTP, app-based, card reader OTP, etc...)
