Watch out for scams, as most of them probably are. Ideally, you could look for one operated by a known bank. Crypto .com looks like a scam to me.

Coinbase used to be considered legitimate, but I’m not sure if it still is.

Sorry I don’t have anything more concrete. I don’t think a lot of people on Lemmy use cryptocurrency.

Most things worth buying are probably available with cash or credit card.

Wisconsinite here. I’m hoping the great lakes area is occupied by Canada after we lose WW3.

I use it often, and have never walked out to someone waiting for it. If I did, I wouldn’t feel bad, because I take like 1 minute to poop.

No. Check my previous comment – this is about hosting on your home ISP, and turning that on or off directly affected the blocking. There is no way to host a webserver through any commercial VPN service.

I don’t think he can. If he somehow illegally forces the US Mint to stop making pennies, it doesn’t solve the problem that no law allows stores to just round to the nearest 5 cents. Congress would need to pass that first.

It seems crazy to me too, but I tested it numerous times. Closing port 80 and 443 stopped the blocks, and re-opening them started the blocks again.

From several years of experiencing it in person. Datadome was the worst and most consistent. It stopped the moment I switched my webserver onto an exotic port number (above 10,000).

Datadome sent me captchas at every domain they firewalled. After correctly solving, I would always be completely blocked:

Here is a page listing some system requirements for Peertube. It says 4 cores and 4GB RAM for 1000 viewers, which some Raspberry Pi systems have.

Yes. However, hosting things from your home connection will make it difficult for you to visit many websites. Blocklists such as Datadome, Cloudflare, and F5 will give you endless captchas if they detect port 80 or port 443 open.

Calling yourself bisexual/pansexual would not be inaccurate. I think “Kinsey 2” or “Kinsey 1” might be good concise descriptions to use, but only you can decide what is best.

(The Kinsey scale is a model, and therefore imperfect, but useful.)

It’s not a pump-n-dump this time. In my opinion, it’s a laundered bribe. The 800k victims were an unintended benefit.

Make them do it. The US Marshals should have resisted also, as DOGE is illegal.
