It's called a proxy war. You can't cherry pick which ones you're OK with.
Lemmy has downvotes, but some specific instances (servers) do not allow them.
hey, who doesn't want a bunker on a private pacific island?
Thinking about this further..
I can purchase 10GE fiber, at home, for $299/mo.
I can purchase a solid 16 bay Supermixro server for around $5k
16TB drives are $168. There's $3,700 left so let's buy 21 drives (336TB, 235TB usable under raidz3 zfs). We'll leave that last $170 for .. electricity.

it's their country. It's not like these laws are secret, these people are hoping to make a large reward from a large risk.
I see this like I see people buying cheap homes next to the airport and complaining about the noise. Or buying a really nice house in a HOA and then complaining about the fees.
If you don't like it, leave. But that's how those people are choosing to live.
