    nah, it’s pretty basic. I run an incredibly low level server - literally just runs linux and apache, all of it basic HTML, and weirdly as a result? it’s been bulletproof. always hilarious watching people try and use php exploits, my server just goes “wat.”

      It’s all Greek to me. I’ve got maybe a few baby skills (can install and browse using a simple Linux, basic commands if they’re in front of me, built one computer from scratch) but nothing in servers coding or networking. I’m absolutely not a fully fledged geek.

      It would be fun to try out once but the energy isn’t available right now and the paranoia is too strong.

      I’m also vaguely aware of Tor and stuff.

      Ironically I’m not even specifically interested in adult content myself and don’t have a lot to hide (other than personal safety or doxxing considerations). I just hate the rampant enshittification of everything and strongly object to censorship or being (more blatantly) surveilled.

      And the scope creep of it eventually coming after everything. The internet has been becoming more conservative in some very ominous ways and queer content or creators are often automatically considered inappropriate.

        @melbaboutown @Taleya so true. I’m also not a fully fledged geek but have always created and hosted my own websites, I learned in the earlier HTML-only days. I really dislike the dependence on so much complex code to do basic things, it’s aggravating to always have you be updating things… my oldest website keyword never gets updated though. It still has frames! 😂
