No worries

If you want to stay anonymous, linux in general is the only viable choice. I donno about Ubuntu though, perhaps they send some data to canonical but it's probably anonymous at least (unless you have logged in to their services).

Also note that any website that uses fingerprinting can easily spot you across ips as well. There are browser plugins for that. But for the best privacy I would probably use a specific browser for my private browsing on some linux distro and of course not be logged in to anything while I am browsing the web anonymously.

Even better is to get a specific computer you only use for anonymous usage and also to connect to the Tor network after a VPN connection (that you paid with cash of course).

That way, it will be really hard for anyone to connect you to your real identity.

Mullvad is the only vpn provider that I trust because they actually let you be anonymous.

No I haven't, because they all have too many limitations that you usually face at the first custom integration you want to do.

Also because I am an experienced dev and building stuff myself is usually faster than for me learning some limiting new tool that I know will cost me and be a pain in the butt whenever I want to customize something.

Are hosting and platform fees more expensive than just running a VPS?

It will never be less expensive than running your own VPS for the single reason that for a no-code tool you pay for more than simply the server performance. You pay for them developing the app, hosting it, configuring it, support etc.

There are tons of tools to build a MVP quickly in many frameworks though, that to me seems like the best alternative.

I use mullvad.net/en/ because they accept cash and don't require an email address. So if you manage your privacy correctly there is hard for them to know who you are even if they tried.

That said, I only use it when I travel basically or whenever I am on public wifis since otherwise a VPN doesn't do much for you since you basically have to trust the vpn provider rather than the ISP.

I used to have my own vpn but due to my change of living I don't have that anymore so that's why I pay for Mullvad.

Remember tho that if you use Windows or MacOS you will never have privacy since both of those OSes send data back to the mothership before and after you log on a VPN so it'll be an easy match for any authority to know who you are even if you're using a VPN and are doing your best to stay anonymous.

Best is probably to find someone that is technical savvy enough to help out. Maybe someone from WIP? If you pay a small fee for being standby and a larger fee per hour if something would happen, give a tour and access I am sure someone would be interested.

Hell I would perhaps be open for it given it’s not on my own vacation and no work unless something breaks. The likelihood that something actually goes down is relatively small I would presume.

I use Plausible.io which I think works great.

Hey Will, welcome to WIP.

I think we all struggle with shipping and the nagging feeling that shit don't work or are imperfect is scary to us all. For me, the most scary thing is if people won't like my work or think it's bad.

For me it helps to think that people don't care about my work, they just want to get a solution to some kind of problem they have and if I solve their problem in a nice way they will appreciate it.

But everyone is different and is motivated by different things, what I want most is the freedom aspect of being able to live of my own products to be able to wake up whenever I want, to work whenever I feel like it and to not be bound by societal aspects that is normal in a work environment.

I am not there yet but I have some ideas that I think will help me get there. Hit me up if you want to discuss ideas or similar. I work mainly with a JS tech stack. :)

PS. Your dog looks absolutely lovely, I have a german pinscher and usually my #life posts is about him.

I just started with Tailwind after some time rolling everything on my own. I purchased tailwind ui and it is really good for just smashing things out. However I've found tailwind can be a bit tough to setup and they rely on a bunch of plugins if you want to really get the most out of it.

So if you're going with Tailwind, I only recommend so if you're using Vue or React since it will have the most smooth experience. It kind of requires npm if you want to use the plugins afaik.

I don't want to be rude but it is a bit of a weird question that would suggest that you're pretty new to the programming space?

I would suggest by first starting with understanding web3 and what it's all about, then find some problem or project that has a goal you want to achieve and then start working towards that goal. On the way you will most likely face issues you need to solve and then you can search npm packages to help you solve these specific issues.

I wish you luck though!

You maybe don't need to fly around the world constantly to be a digital nomad. Depending on where you live, you could be a digital nomad in the near vicinity of your current location. Maybe you could buy an RV and travel the world a bit more slowly? That way you can bring your home with you.
