That’s not how bail bonds work. If you use a bail bondsman, you pay a non-refundable fee (10% of the bail amount) upfront.

If he had the money, he should have paid the full bail himself. That amount is fully refunded so long as he appears to court.

I think that’s correct…I’m not a bail bondsman and I’ve never used one, but I did watch Dog the Bounty Hunter once or thirty times

I had not heard this before, thanks for sharing! Fascinating.

I selfhost on a cheap VPS I found on LowEndBox. The security setup (not SimpleLogin) was more involved than SimpleLogin. Pretty easy to get working and I’ve had not a single issue in 1.5 years of selfhosting it. I pay $11/yr for the VPS compared to $30/yr for SimpleLogin.

With regard to your specific questions - I’ve only selfhosted for myself with one domain. You can add multiple users and domains though.

If you mean the gold guy on the horse when you first start, don’t fight him (yet). You can avoid him.

If you mean the first actual boss in the castle, you can get help from an npc or other players by using an item to see their “signs” on the ground and inviting them to your game.

Well yea, that’s not a knock against Mast, that’s a preference for a type of social media. Mast is the Twitter equivalent; if you don’t like Mast, you would t like Twitter (or vice versa as it were).
