No.

Is the internet usage limited?

No, use as much of it as you'd like as long as you're not doing anything illegal or effecting the internet speed too much for others, we have 3x 500/500 Mbit/s fiber connections so it should be fine.

Yes, but we do discourage it. We're looking for people who's coming here to work with or among other people, to exchange experience and knowledge. Our focus lies within building a community that helps and lift each other up, which is harder if people are hiding in their rooms all day.

How do you handle food preferences and/or allergies?

We try to plan the meals to be suitable for as many as possible, and primarily vegetarian. We're not always going to be able to accommodate everyone's individual needs or desires, so if you are particular about what food you eat, you may want to prepare some meals by yourself.
