It doesn't materially affect anything. I can even still host websites using things like serveo.net or localhost.run. It just violates something in my sense of efficiency to have a server out there that I'm using literally for the only purpose of proxying connections back to me because my ISP blocks all incoming connections

It'd be nice to do the whole childhood over again but with parents who loved me.

I've thought about using AWS for hobbyist web applications, but I worry about difficult-to-predict costs

That said, after a cursory glance, HOLY SHIT IT'S FREE

Obviously still not a great solution if DMCA is a concern

So you're saying that high prices of rent and health insurance are not the responsibility of the regulatory framework that was explicitly designed for profit maximization?

Still mad about the time my income was equal to rent plus like $500 so I didn't qualify for medi-cal. With my health conditions, on the cheapest plan, $1000+ a month. Fucking california, garbage place.

Yeah, it's looking like I have to make a phone call. Rough time, there's a language barrier

lmao I like this.

Honestly I feel like people should have a better understanding of how their technology works. Like if we just all lived in a post-scarcity society where all code was available on github and any time a program stops working for you you can just go in, fork the repo, make the change that fixes your problem. Blammo, your problem is solved as soon as you can write the code, and if anyone else has the problem they can use your change.

One can dream

Plus where I live I can do with my IPv6 whatever I please.

Sounds nice

HOLY SHIT YOU HAVE A /29 IPV4 BLOCK???

That's like having a change jar with copper pennies or something, nice

My internet is included in rent. Which is convenient for day-to-day use but gives me less capacity for customization. Like, I admit it, the system works really well for normal people, I'm just a weirdo who likes tinkering with technology, hosting websites, and whatnot
