I literally cannot make an account, I've been trying for years, it doesn't accept any of my email addresses or phone numbers.. I think I'd have to make a gmail just to make a twitter

exactly this. I'm sure some of the larger hosts easily spend six figures per month just on the server infrastructure alone

Usenet is super fast, safe, reliable, automated searching and downloading actually works. I gladly support my host

+1 for Mullvad! They were raided with a search warrant by Swedish Police who ended up leaving empty handed because the customer data they wanted simply does not exist

You're right about the environmental footprint - proof of stake dropped the energy consumption by 99.95%

Ether (ETH) was never intended to serve as a digital currency. it was only meant to be the fuel or incentive for computational tasks on the Ethereum network. An L2 like Optimism or Arbitrum runs on top of Ethereum and facilitates transactions that are significantly faster (tens of thousands of transactions per second), for a fraction of the cost (pennies or fractions of pennies)
