seqastian··on Why ultra-light urban vehicles offer the only viable future for EVs
> No form of transport covers literally all cases

Funny cause that is exactly what people buy cars for. Which is what we need a good replacement for. E-Scooters are fine but not what will get rid of heavy cars.

seqastian··on Why ultra-light urban vehicles offer the only viable future for EVs
Stand up scooters don't carry cargo or children and rain or snow instantly remove them from the equation.

In the "Top 30 of 10484 Total Sites" section there are hosts and IPs.

If they remove the end of IPs and first part of hosts its considered 'anonymised' by matomo or goaccess. But you still are collecting IPs in the server logs and need a gdpr statement documenting it.
