Exactly, I've tried a bunch and ended up with one written in a language I know absolutely nothing about. Find it incredibly strange when people say ”static site generator written in X” as though it means anything to the end user. And t

Reread the comment again, do you know much about Monero? Otherwise I buy BTC on Bisq without asking anyones permission nor handing over license + passport details.
