What prevents Wireguard from moving to GitHub or why is bare metal hosting needed? The code is small and integrated into the kernel at this point. Aren't your needs primarily for distributing Windows/Mac packages at this point?

If you are incapable of identifying some of the insane positions that clearly lost them the 2024 election, I'm afraid you may be in a bubble and no amount of someone explaining it is going to help.

"Uhm acksually, it was only 10 square blocks" I know what I saw, it was repugnant behaviour, don't try and split hairs. The fact that the madness was contained to only 10 blocks is, on the whole, irrelevant. Good luck with
