Your depression couldn't have been that bad if you could create an app against it. Regular therapy would probably have been more effective and less dangerous for others.
Nuclear power is pretty cool if you don't build the plants in risky areas or ignore safety measures.
I'm a radiation safety officer and the completeness of precautions taken is inversely proportional to the amount of greediness of the company's CEO.
Until that's solved, nuclear power is a double-edged sword, as seen in Chernobyl and Fukushima. There's currently no perfect solution to that energy problem.
What many people don't know: There's more radiation set free by coal power plants than nuclear power plants because they burn that stuff and blow it into the air.
In addition to notifications from (social media) apps, turn off notifications for every messenger. I turned off everything but SMS and phone. If it's super important people will contact me there, all other messages can be read later.
It's currently a VPS rented from Strato.de, one of the biggest German hosting providers.

I'll try to have a detailed cost overview online somewhere soon-ish.
I can only speak for tilde.fun, but it's helpful to not have any users currently (^^) and disable outside communication apart from ~/html/ where our users can put static files into.
Most tilde sites don't have public mail servers and only federate mail between them and other tilde servers. See also https://tilde.team/.
I run tilde.fun. It's currently defunct but I'm migrating the site to a new server today.
We have an SSH signup form with no need for any personal details but an email address, written in Python, in the making (https://code.tilde.fun/tilde/ssh-reg) I'd really like to automate account creation and have someone look over it before I actually deploy it.
Write me an email (address in my profile) if you're interested in helping run/develop this or some MB of free HTML web hosting.
We are two admins and run a few other services (https://wiki.tilde.fun/tilde/start lists some of them). We want to take back the internet from megacorps into the hands of users. I have an empty server just waiting for some people with dank HTML skills!
great way to own the point of your article.
