Spanish isn’t the native language. Not sure how that applies at all.

What does speaking English have to do with New York being an American city? English isn’t the native tongue, its the colonized tongue.

If they’re not actively blocking ports 80 and 443, then its pretty clear they are allowing their users to host websites (unless their terms of service specifically say don’t host websites)

Thats why I suggested an up-to-date router that isn’t end-of-life. If you keep your router firmware updated, your firewall on, and your “server” updated, then you are as protected as any VPS that has ever been deployed.

Tailscale is centralized and prevents you from accessing your devices if it goes down, which is what the OP points out. If we want some decentralization, we can configure our current equipment to do so. Its not so difficult if you spend some time reading your router’s documentation and keep everything behind it updated. NAT firewalls are pretty good at keeping bad things out.

It will totally depend on the equipment you plan on using, but in general, your router’s manual/documentation should say whether it supports Dynamic DNS, how to configure your firewall, and how to enable port forwarding.

From there, your device’s operating system should have documentation on how to perform maintenance, and the web server software you plan on using should have guides on how to get it running on your OS of choice.

For example: If you want to host some websites on your device (or just want a nice web-based control panel for your “server”), do a fresh install of Debian 12 and then install something like Virtualmin or HestiaCP. Those two include various web apps that are easy to install and run with a few clicks, like a Wordpress or something.

Reminder to everyone, if you aren’t necessarily worried about uptime too much, and have a spare device at home, you can host personal websites and various services that might be useful for yourself or friends and family. To keep it simple, all you would really need is

• an up-to-date router that isn’t end-of-life
• a firewall that geo blocks traffic from outside your country and blocks all ports except 80 and 443
• port forwarding 80 and 443 to your device
• setup dynamic dns service (some routers can handle this)
• a domain name

Keep your device and router updated and reboot it every once in a while to load the updated kernel. Then just install some web server software or whatever on your device and point your domain to it.

Together, we can decentralize the web a little bit 🙂

They’re no different than MS-13 or any gang out there.

So MS-13 would have won against Nazi Germany in WW2?

Your company’s policies, procedures, and activities which relate to the Services, in each case to the extent reasonably necessary for Coinbase to comply with any applicable laws, rules, and regulations (including money laundering statutes, regulations and conventions of the United States or other jurisdictions), or the guidance or direction of, or request from, any regulatory authority or financial institution.

I know, its hard to believe your eyes, but it does say they can be adversely affected by international legislation and regulations if they want to do business there.

They could always opt to use a US-based payment processor that doesn’t deal with international payments.

4chan agreed to the terms of service agreement here:

https://www.coinbase.com/legal/user_agreement/united_states

• Legislative and regulatory changes or actions at the state, federal, or international level may adversely affect the use, transfer, exchange, and value of virtual currency.

That means they agree their business can be affected by international regulations.

4chan has not disabled accepting payments from UK residents through their Coinbase portal. Therefore they are allowing UK residents to pay them.

4chan is not geo blocking UK visitors in their Cloudflare portal, so they are allowing UK residents to visit their site.

4chan wants all the benefits of UK business without obeying their laws.

They allow UK residents to use a credit or debit card to pay for passes.

I didn’t use AI at all.

Sweet. Thanks!

Their payment processor is operating in the UK though. 4chan isn’t refusing money from UK residents. It is accepting their payments.

Not with the internet. 4chan uses a payment processor that allows UK residents to pay with UK currency.

Edited it. Hows that?

Looks like it doesn’t get rendered correctly on my end

LOL okay but you said:

now, do you still think the UK government has a right to fine 4chan or do you think maybe the UK government should elaborate on their prohibition regulations to ensure their citizens are properly “protected”?

I went ahead and edited it for you so it says enterprising individuals… which you end up asking about 4chan anyways

Read what, exactly?

Used it correctly per Mozilla’s blockquote documentation, as I was quoting another source.
