Are you hosting it through a provider such as AWS or Azure? That might be why. I had no issues when setting it up on my own.

I have 2x ISPS and through that multiple raspberry pis. Set up docker, then you can set up multiple VPNs (e.g. OpenVPN which I used just before pandemic) so after 2017. It always worked but these days I would also esim it - they can't block roaming mobile due to the way roaming works and the travel Sim prices are quite competitive these days.

Tldr no issues hosting on personal internet rather than through a cloud provider.

Example ones I use, simple to set up via docker files.

I jumped from boost for Reddit to sync for Lemmy. No regrets loving it.

Edit: just realised boost for lemmy is available now too

Funny they're all very patriotic when it comes to these things. However when asked if they personally want to go to war…well, not so patriotic when you have to put your life on the line.

If China wanted peaceful unification they can have it tomorrow.

Cede all power to Taiwan and they can be one country. They definitely won't be bullied by Taiwan and unlike China Taiwan would accept differing opinions. It's been done successfully before to a large extent. East and West Germany joined together as one country without the need for border fences or two systems in one country. Just imagine what a basket case of a country if it happened the other way around. 2 systems, border fences different currencies, declining standings on corruption, political freedom etc.

But of course they'll never do that. Because deep down it's not the country they care about. They only care about the CCP itself.

Edit: looks like the wumaos are in force, not surprising as a large number of them are otherwise unemployed now 😂

It's not even internal strife. It all comes down to it's now or never. If they let this opportunity slip by they will never get Taiwan.

Their population is declining and there's nothing that can be done about it in any meaningful way. Nothing has worked to get people to have more children. As they get older people of military age will decline.

Right now this generation the males outnumber the females. Which means expendable soldiers. These people will never marry and benefit the state in anyway.

The leverage China has is it's consumers it's one of the largest markets. But the Chinese buying things to support international companies is quite minuscule as a percentage of the population and will decline as time goes on, they get all the media attention that's all . They've been struggling to boost internal consumption for years.

And it isn't that surprising. Chinese people are one of the most tightarse people ever. They haggle everything and that's even if they get to the point of actually going to buy it. Spending money to make money usually doesn't factor in.

Well let's start.

In Spain the medium of instruction can be and is set by the regional government. Catalan, Basque, Occitian and Galician is used extensively as a medium of instruction in public schools (fully funded by the government)

There's extensive media which includes government owned media in those languages. And for government services you can ask for someone to speak to you in those languages.

The languages are promoted and are co-official. I have friends from Galicia and have been there.

It's France they're very xenophobic. Just look at how they treat the Corsicans, Brentons, Basques and Catalans.

Night and day to even a few hundred metres across the road in Spain or Andorra.

Eh what’s to investigate? We all know the plane was deliberately bought down to remove specific people from existence. Even blind Freddy knows this.

$800 a year?

I wouldn’t go for less than 120 a day (commute cost + my per hour cost multiplied by the time spent travelling)
