   AT&T is increasing the cost of my static IPs. Now my /27 is $45/mo

     @thegpfury Maybe AT&T is reselling IPs delegated to them from Amazon hahahaha

     @alicew idk man I have 30 usable static IPs, it's pretty cheap compared to having to colocate. Plus I have 5gbit bandwidth.

     @7666 yeah, I could do that too but then you're just increasing latency and (usually) dealing with a throttled pipe to whichever cloud provider you picked to be your edge.
     
     The one benefit it would have is moving as it makes your backend infra essentially nomadic. Right now if I move to another apartment AT&T gives me "new service" and they give me a fresh static IP allocation instead of letting me keep my old one. So if I move to a different apartment this year I have to automate updating my DNS and server configs to the new address space which is annoying but not insurmountable

     @feld these are the moments in which i'm glad i don't require a single static IP on my home net at all (VPN tunnels negotiate outbound to the edge, not inbound)

     @7666 a friend of mine just has their own AS and direct allocation so they just do BGP tunneling but damn that's so expensive although I love the idea. I was an engineer at an ISP early in my career and I yearn for that control but the overhead is just... too much.

     >increasing latency
     For bulk traffic, 30-40ms of increased latency is not an issue. For latency sensitive traffic, I use geographically closer datacenters so the latency overhead is at max 8ms for those. I can use policy based routing to pick which VMs (internal IPs) go where.
     
     >throttled pipe
     see image. I got four of these bad boys
     
     >nomadic backend
     yep that was the idea. I don't have to pay for IPs, if there's a DHCP problem I don't care about DNS, and all my traffic is proxied and cached where needed to cut down on ISP traffic, while I maintain data sovereignty and the cheaper overall resource cost of rolling your own big fat servers.
