@FUCKINGWHOCARESDUDE i'm thinking and I might just use a vps after all - my only hang up about it is because I'm in a country that is leaning towards being authoritarian (the UK) I was worried that any VPS provider I have would give in if the authorities wanted to get my information from them.

I won't be hosting anything morally questionable on the instance at all, but who knows, in a country like this, saying you disagree with how the prime minister does things may be illegal soon or some shit idk. Scary
