btw: I'm referring more to the issues of "oh my [insert deity]! Someone who has a blog on a system you run has offended|stolen from|attacked|etc. me.." kind of complaints. 'Free' users are the worst users in that

Looks nice. But my advice is: don't getting in to the business of hosting other people's stuff. It's just not worth it these days, unless they're paying. But even then, it has potential to be a huge can of legal worms th

Something something Sherlock. It was not like this back in 'the day', by the way. Not that anyone actually cares.

I did something vaguely similar storing text in QR codes then converting the black and white squares to audio 'noise', which could be saved as a wav then read somewhere else, by reading the audio 'noise', reconstructing
