webp is completely supported by browsers I think now.

Websites still get weird about it.

JXL is supported by Safari and ummmmm mobile Safari.

Well I can tell you that mine definitely doesn't go anti-clockwise

Earth rotates and orbits counter clockwise.

No it doesn't. It depends on the human perception of "up" and "down" which are completely arbitrary. We by convention see the North Pole as the "top" of the world but it could as easily be seen as Antarctica.

Foreigners driving around isn't that uncommon, especially in Europe....

Sure it's possible that if stopped you may get hassled more than usual, made to wait while the officer asks the station what to do but there's no real risk of anything more than that.

No it's pretty general. Check out the following international treaties:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geneva_Convention_on_Road_Traffic

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vienna_Convention_on_Road_Traffic

As a benefit of these treaties, if I so chose (and were rich) I could even ship my car to Europe and just drive it around (up to 6 months) without really doing anything! It doesn't need to meet most any of the EU car rules either.

Now if I tried to permanently import it, I'd have to make modifications like light colors and such to make it legal.

But really for visitors the rules are pretty lax. You need an international driving permit which is really just a translated license.

With the Geneva convention on Road Traffic they must recognize it, at least for visitors. However you are probably right if OP tried to move there and get a local license, they'd need to retest.

It's not toooooo hard. But you will need a good little bit to get the feel for it.

And I don't know how hilly Romania is but the first time your stall out on an incline you will feel embarrassed and likely honked at. And it will be all the harder to recover cause now you're stressed about it.

She apparently used to be a judge, but we all know what made him pick them.

First question is - are you familiar with Linux command line at all? If not get familiar with it first.

Second you'll need to own or buy a domain and point it to the server's IP.

Then install either Ubuntu Server or Debian on the server, setup SSH and run this Ansible project - https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible

If that's not comprehensible to you, I'd really recommend getting more familiar with Linux command line and servers before I'd recommend starting a Lemmy instance.
