Yes, that’s what I do, but then my address isn’t mixed with hundreds of other users, I wish I could have a web service, with a dynanic dns domain name and letsencrypt certificates but the anonymous front that a vpn provides.

Here is an excellent retelling of the cold fusion saga

Basically, as soon as the scientist had one anomalous reading, the political and academic machine got into overdrive, huge money started getting thrown around and the scientists got under huge amount of pressure and paranoia.

Most science isn’t real science in that view, the problem is that most science is funded by ulterior motives, very little science is the basic, primary science of exploration. That creates both huges gaps where the political and financial establishment fails to imagine value (climate science) and also fake science where something should be true for the power that be, but isn’t (glysophate, cigarettes safety).
We should always imagine as a flawed, politically and financially motivated enterprise, a tool in the grip of institutions that need to survive first and science second. Pure science is a rare thing and it shouldn’t be assumed be the case whenever things are happening under the name of science.
This is the framework to avoid being surprised by scientific failures and to compensate for them.

“No True Scientist” would say cigarettes don’t cause cancer or co2 emission don’t cause global warming, or glyphosate isn’t bad for the environment. Yet, it did, for multiple decades.
You have to consider “actually existing science” with it’s political and financially directed function, choosing what questions get asked and who will answer them. You can say “oh that wasn’t science it was fraud” which is all well and good now but it wasn’t for those decades when they served to obscure or bury the truth rather than discover it.
Actually existing science is a really troubled institution

Science is a highly political process.
The real actual science, just ask petroleum, cigarettes, sugar, mosanto glyphosate, lysenkoism, grant allocation, DDT, lead gasoline and paint, amiante, IQ, operation paperclip, nuclear testing, SSRIs, opioid crisis, covid 19, gain-of-functionr research, psychology replication crisis, trans fats, usda food pyramid, even cold fusion and the latest entry in this list PFOA/PFAS.
Scientific truths and regulatory actions often “become allowed” only when they are no longer economically threatening to the incumbents.

And debit and cash use still pay this price without the benefit. Literally taking their money and giving it to credit card user as reward. There is no justification for credit cards. Banks should do credit margins and transactions should be extremely cheap under a common system.

This image is a two-panel meme utilizing a blurry, chaotic photo of individuals seemingly engaged in a mock fight and a separate photo of a person appearing to conduct a science experiment with a small flame, possibly under the influence of poor judgment.
In the left panel, the text “MATHEMATICIANS DEFINING PI” is superimposed over two individuals engaged in a dramatic physical altercation, one holding the other back. A third person, who is uninvolved but present, is labeled “ENGINEERS JUST USING 3 BECAUSE IT’S WITHIN TOLERANCE.” This suggests a hierarchy of concern regarding the numerical precision of π (pi), with mathematicians caring deeply, engineers demonstrating relaxed standards, and general chaos ensuing.
In the right panel, a shirtless person crouches and conducts a questionable experiment involving a lighter and a small pipe. The caption “ASTROPHYSICISTS” is positioned above their head, and below is the phrase “PI = 1.” This implies a level of approximation so extreme it borders on parody, indicating astrophysicists allegedly use such simplifications in the name of cosmic-scale practicality.
The overall composition is an exaggerated commentary on varying standards of numerical precision in different disciplines, presented through low-resolution imagery and humorous juxtaposition.
