I have had the same experience. Have used all three at some point but mostly use nginx for new servers

It's also lots of work to make free and open source projects, which is why i say good bug reports are a valuable type of contribution. It is a type of contribution. Imo setting up a free account is the least thing someone can do if they use the project.
And anyone who cares about privacy can use junk data and one time email (this should just be standard practice for anyone that cares and why i didn't mention it). 2fa is a small issue too IMO.
I don't particularly care for github either but if a project is on github then that's how the maintainers are expecting contributions--if you want to help in some way, or want your bug fixed, then you'll need an account or try contacting them in other way.
No, but think of it this way-- creating good bug reports is a valuable type of contribution for open source projects. If you aren't able to fix the issue yourself then it is still appreciated to take the time to write up a good bug report (describe the issue, the expected result, the actual result, and steps to reproduce). So don't let a free account stand in your way 🙂

Do you mean blogging literally within lemmy, or linking to an external website? (Edit- i see you mean within lemmy to cross post to reddit. Leaving rest of my post for some thoughts anyway)
My advice would be to set up a static website and use that for your blog. like hugo but there's a few good options out there to generate static websites. This way if an instance ever does disappear then you still own your content. This also means you aren't limited to a specific community and could share a post where it most directly relates rather than just an individual community where you dump everything.
If you're wanting comments directly on your posts then some people have integrated comments into their blogs by using a federated platform (one example using mastodon). So for instance they make a post on lemmy or mastodon/etc and then in their blog they link the blogpost to it. Now there can be discussion on your blog/lemmy and you aren't at risk of losing so your posts. There's also other ways to do comments like utteranc.es or remark42 too.
tldr IMO if you're wanting to build your own blog/platform its better to have ownership of it and not keeping it only on someone else's server.
I assume Yale isn't broke but idk. Universities are just like any other business where they will cut products that aren't making money or performing as well as others. The article talks about the course needing many teacher assistants to field student questions and hold labs, and that originally these costs were covered by a donation which has now run out.
It also could just be some internal politics and blaming it on financials is the public reason.
But you're not wrong that student tuition costs should theoretically go to the courses they sign up for
CS50 is produced by Harvard and is opencourseware (free) that isn't going away.
What is changing is that Yale won't be offering CS50 courses going forward, seemingly due to funding issues.
The archinstaller script is pretty good if you're just needing a basic setup. Ive been really happy with a btrfs partion from the recommended disk layout, then using btrfs snapshots + grub bootloader to load from snapshots. You can also create a hook on pacman so that you create a snapshot when you upgrade packages.
Since you didn't mention your experience, id recommend looking at the various desktop environments so you know which one to pick during install. You can ofc change later.
And read the arch docs. They are very good and have a lot of time invested into them. If you find you don't have the patience to read them then you're probably going to want to look at a different OS. Good luck!
Edit: i see now they're talking about private IP, but in case you want to learn about getting a static IP for other things...
Many ISPs will give you a dynamic (changing) IP rather than a static (unchanging) IP. Just check your IP once a week for a few weeks to see if it changes.
There are some services that get around this by checking your ip regularly and updating their records automatically. This is called a dynamic DNS provider (DDNS). I used to use "noip" but since then there are quite a few like cloudflare DDNS.
Beyond that you just would want to make sure your router or whatever device is assigning IPs on your network to give a static assignment to the server. Assigning IPs is handled by a DHCP server and it would usually be your router, but if you have a pihole you might be using that as a DHCP server instead.
Between DDNS and DHCP you can make sure both your external IP and internal IP are static.
Notably codeberg is not a corporate owned like github/gitlab, and you can become a voting member of the nonprofit through donations. Pretty neat imo. I made an account there last year but just got around to creating a repo there for a smaller project. It was straightforward and familiar.
One thing that's holding me back though is the CI is in closed testing but you can request access.
They added 2 weeks to it.
