Good to know, thanks.

Will look into square space, thanks.

Agreed. But stability and reliability would be a priority for this so like emuspawn said “cost of doing business” :c

Will look into it. Thanks!

That seems to be the consensus. Thanks!

So don’t take this as rude I know this is literally not what you asked, but…

No no no, this is the exact reason I asked. I honestly thought selfhosting would be better and easier once its all set up. Thank you very much.

As far as I know the website is not an indispensable part of the business but its not a static page either. Its gonna be like a landing page to (hype up the business), some catalogue pages to show their products, and a page with contact info (maybe also an “about us” page. Its mainly to look more professional and to have a bit of an internet presence. What would you recommend for that? Either selfhosted or commercial solution.

Thanks again.

Thanks!

Thanks.

I dont think website uptime is a vital issue since it is basically just advertising, catalogue, and then links to their emails and phone numbers but it wont handle any type of sales or orders and I think its the only part that they can realistically self-host. Im aware of the static IP and bandwith issues, still, we have to look into the costs of that.

For the rest, Im looking into comercial options right now. Whats your opinion on proton for e-mail? (If you have any)

Thanks, I’ve looked into proton, seems like a good option for mail. Digitalocean I dont really understand it but it seems more oriented towards software developement. No?

I had thought about redundancy and backups but I wasnt aware of how much it would require. Thanks!

Thanks. Will look into those, they seem like a promising alternative.

Thanks

Well, yes, if you’re looking for a place where political violence has never happened, that will be much more difficult to find. We certainly do not live in a utopia and possibly never will.

??? I was just arguing (and expanding on said argument) against your description of politics as “an unarmed, nonviolent activity”

Interesting wiki read about New Zealand, I wasnt aware of it. Thanks.

Imposed through violence

How do you think monarchies and governments were first created? What about colonialism? What would hapen if trump becomes president and the us becomes an openly fascist state? Wouldnt it be imposed on all americans through violence?

Even if there are cases where power was nonviolently transfered to “local control” (which AFAIK its not true) the structures and institutions of government that remain were first established through violence and these countries still serve the interests of their former “conquerors” either through collusion, International laws (which those colonialist powers mostly controll) and/or the threat of sanctions and violence.

In all the history of nation states around the world politics have been imposed through violence, they are enforced through violence and perpetuated through violence.

This is not to say that politics are inherently violent but the idea that they are inherently non-violent is a falacy.

They already are. Thats why they can do whatever the fuck they want.

Yes. “Simple Mobile Tools” the makers of all “simple” apps weee bought by ZipoApps a while ago and made propietary so some people forked all their apps and called them Fossify.

Edit: Added the spoiler thing. Quite interesting to read others replies.

I find it funny that the “play” icon in the articles thumbnail picture (up-left corner of the red trapezoid) looks quite similar to newpipe’s logo.

The thing is that the candidates for judges will be chosen by commitees from “the 3 powers” which are, basically, under controll of MORENA.
