Comment on How to selfhost with a VPN

Of course it does. You’re only ever responsible for yourself.
And that mentality does not lead to good things.

Of course, could you imagine the alternative? Imagine spontaneously taking responsibility for the safety of the entire internet. That would be just nuts.

This is a definition problem I think. I don’t use the word “responsible” to mean sole ownership. For example. We are all responsible for the cleanliness of our roads. It is a shared responsibility that we all participate in.
And, I think, we are all responsible for modeling good behaviors for people to emulate.

I don’t think we’re individually responsible for anything anybody else does unless you influenced somebody intentionally into doing it.
If you want to model your idea of good behavior then you set up your sites with https. That does mean OP is obligated to do the same.
