   Maybe the best thing to do about not being dependent on US clouds is to normalize hosting at home, including ISPs being less shitty about it

     @cwebber –

     Yeah! I'm not sure what the general state of things is with ISPs (I suppose you've gleaned it?), but it sure seems weird that the Internet connects everyone's home to everyone's home, and it isn't remotely normal to… essentially "call each other" for web sites and whatever else people might choose to set up.

     @Starfia @cwebber In Germany, most ISPs forbid running servers on residential internet connections, for example.
     And even if it was allowed or you just do it anyway, getting a static IP address is not always possible (either working IPv6 or IPv4 - both are a pain) with non-business contracts at affordable prices.

     @cwebber The backsliding on IPv6, and treating NAT as a security feature, have been irritants for some time.
