Hi fediverse, I was looking on self-hosting some weeks ago (by opening a gotosocial or mastodon instance) and then dropping out the idea after knowing I need
1° a Domain name
2° a static IP address or a DDNS Provider
That's why a VPS it's more efficient, because you need to pay providers in both ways
The problem for self-hosting is the INTERNET and its "STAR" Network Topology, good for long distances but stupid if you wanna connect just to the building in front of yours

mobile advertising ID on smartphone can be used to track your location, social activities and memberships
below the EFF article about it

after the AGE-VERIFICATION bill got implemented in Australia, there wasn't a long time between IT was in U.S.A, England to,and in the near future even in Europe But to make age-verification work you need VPN-BANS, IT's easy to see where this is going https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/02/eff-wisconsin-legislature-vpn-bans-are-still-terrible-idea #ageverification #ID
