I am actually worried about the self-hosting pandemic. We self-hosters will stop flying under the radar. Wonder how long it will take until our matrix instances require to be backdoored, our immich are scanning our pictures with AI.

On an unrelated note, an article of how to rent a VPS in China would be interesting :)

Given that apparently it's quite difficult to even get a WeChat account without a national ID, I suspect that step 1 is "learn mandarin" and step 2 is "get a Chinese national ID".

Also your home modem/router is often tied to your ID and then there is ofc the firewall. IIRC You can get vos hosting and ICP code through Ali Cloud somewhat automagically. Agree it would be nice to give it a try some time.
