Yesterday i managed to successfully host a simple html safely (its more of a network test)
The path is nginx->openwrt->router to internet Now i only need to:

• backup
• set up domain (managing via cloudflare)
• set up certificates
• properly documentbthe setup + some guides on stuff that i will repeat

and then i can throw everything i want on it :D

I like Vivaldi https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/de/reports/com.vivaldi.browser/latest/

Brave did have some bad habits (and i think still has) so personally i would not trust them with my data. You could look for a firefox based browser like Zen (the most beautyful of them all) or stick to any other privacy first chromium based like vivaldi or mullvad.

The general rule: the less features, the more privacy And if features are needed there are addons

I knew that there where some larger masto servers that tried to stay neutral but at least a lot of them switched when meta basically said they remove fact checking and let sexism and racism run ranpant without any consequences
