And its a scary thing.
no matter how many down votes I get, I still insist that firefox should be self dependant as long as it doesnt come at cost of violating my privacy

Are you paying for firefox or getting it for free? From where do you think they get money to pay salaries other expenses?
you might say oh but chrome is also free but its not, you just pay with your privacy
Worst TLDR ever

I use self hosted VPN for many years now.
You worry that facebook would associate that static ip with you but the problem is quiet the opposite.
most website will recognize that your IP belong to a hosting company so they often suspect that you are a bot. Wikipedia wont let u edit articls, youtube wont let u comment on videos. Other than that its fine, just expect to pass more captcha.
you could pay little extra and get dynamic IP from your provider. That effectivwly changes your IP. Deleting dynamic IP and recreating it gives u a new one. But I dont do that.
I just hide in the crowed by letting others uss my VPN and rely on service providers often dismissing my IP as bot

Here is a more detailed FAQ about what happened:
I hope you are donating to your instance, otherwise by your logic you are stealing there resources.
How is that my logic? Admins of my instance are fine with people using their instance without donation so there is nothing unethical here. If people must pay to use their instance then it can’t be called “donation”, it’s called “payment”.
If the server owner isn’t fine with others hottlinking they can simply deny requests
Can I use same logic to say if you are not fine with people robbing your home, you must lock your door?
Hotlinking is stealing. Besides servee owner could change the images your hotlinking to. Or he coukd delete it altogether
As an Egyptian I can assure you that Egyptian government does nothing but big talk. am not talking about Israel, am talking about any country.
Besides Egypt is now under so much debt - due to current president’s lust of luxurious useless projects - that we can’t really raise our eyes for fear that debtors might ask for their debt back.
