Hetzner is still a thing.

Judging by his name, Turkey

Okay, in that case it’s not a good example because Turkey is a NATO country.

Which didn't stop the US and other western countries to embargo them after their invasion of northern Cyprus (yes it was in 1974, but it's when the Turkish domestic defense sector really started so it's not irrelevant even if it's 50 years old).

Survivor bias

Turkey’s defense advances took decades and came with major setbacks

Not to mention many NATO incompatibilities

Just look at all the other sanctioned countries

You're just moving the goalpost here.

And if you want to look at other sanctioned countries, just look at how NK or Iran's industry fares compared to their economic peers …

I’m not moving it just showing how Turkey is different when compared to other sanctioned non NATO countries.

This is such a cliché, a Turk living in Germany on a German standard of living, but being proudly nationalistic of Turkey, even if Turkey's president has made very questionable decisions and has been a negative to the economy through blatant corruption and mismanagement. Oh, and he's also an authoritarian.

I have never been judged so hard in a very long time, thank you. You get extra points for making assumptions about my location, living conditions and political views from a single IP address.

That was really great. Kudos.

BTW, you can't be more wrong about me than that comment, even if you tried harder(er).

We normally don't talk about that here, but seriously, prejudice is running high in this instance.

To be fair, it wasn't discussed until you made it part of your identity in your GP.

I intentionally left the county name out in the beginning, actually.

I also semi-knowingly didn’t answer direct comments about country, either. To not devolve it into politics too much.

On the other hand, I’m not bothered by it. I just wanted to point out that making assumptions from my homepage’s IP address is wrong.

We all say rude things sometimes, and that’s OK. We’re human. No hard feelings here.

Lastly, to be honest, I neither flagged nor downvoted that comment.

It’s in your profile and pretty easily inferred from your comment when you compile the two or more pieces of information together. We can’t blame people for that

Doesn't matter. I'm not hiding where I live or my nationality. It's intended to be composable. But making it composable and putting it plain and center are different things. My intention is not to hide, but to sound as neutral as possible, because my intention was to give an example, independent of the country name. If I knew other examples from other countries equally well, I'd happily add those, without the country names, too.

On the other hand, when you click some of the links in my homepage, it becomes pretty evident that I don't live in Germany. So, if somebody cares to check my homepage's server's geolocation, I expect them to check a couple of links, too.

So, the thing I was pointing that my homepage's server's location doesn't imply anything about where I live or the conditions of my life. I'm not bothered that somebody figured out my nationality, which country I'm talking about, etc.

I'm just baffled how somebody can make that amount of false assumptions from an IP address. Plain and simple.

inferred from username and stated facts, Turkey.

Sorry I didn’t pick up on it. Not familiar with Turkish names.

People can host websites in countries other than the one they live in.

It took me ~10 seconds to figure out the guy is Turkish and talking about Turkish defence industry.
