> 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.

Stand up scooters don't carry cargo or children and rain or snow instantly remove them from the equation.

Electric cabin scooters with removable batteries cover way more what cars offer today in an urban environment. Something like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabin_motorcycle or that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto_rickshaw

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.

Who ever told you that is wrong. Doesn't matter if the client or the server collects data.

I heard on a podcast that this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suiso_Frontier new hydrogen tanker could only go 30 days with the hydrogen it carries. Which is why it runs on diesel. It's 40 days to Europe.
