Lol the thermodynamics ritual is a wild idea.

Dooming the world to end, by slowly fading into cold and darkness... Hehe i really like that

A VPS is rented

Thats like not understanding why people own a home I mean yah i coul get a static ip i guess that would actually make sense

Does the link not work?

Try scrolling up and clicking "see more"

It is! Block instance ...

Thank you so much

Thats huge

I am hosting this server behind a dynamic ipb6 address, which a script send to the cloudflare api every time it changes

As long as you have a DSLite ipv6 non-nat address, you can be on the web - with compromises xD

My parents are still behind a dynamic ipv4, which is not behind a NAT

?? This is clearly not what i'm saying. Residential Hosting is technically possible - everything works as intended, it's just that a tiny bit of extra logic on the recievers side rejects the delivery.

That's very different from...? Demanding the air? Hosts it?

I just think the requirement is red tape, and i have no idea why yall are so ready to accept, that you shouldn't own the machienes you run your code on, if you're not a company.

Suree, i am a bit oblivious, it may be that it's as "easy" as calling your isp. It's just that my isp never picks up, and sends the pinkertons after me to get me to stop calling.

Suree in the grand sheme of things getting a non-residential ip shouldn't be too hard

But i still think it's one of those pieces of red tape that have killed a lot of diversity

This is absolutely a reason to close your home server -i mean if you're buying an VPS anyway that uses the same bandwidth it would use with the server set up there

Why keep a server in your garage? And then you're not truely independent anymore, because of a small policy somewhere

I DO think garage hosting is an important part of an ecosystems freedom.

I can garage host fedi, and i AM in this very moment. For web services it's just DOS Protection that we need Men in the Middle for. Which is sad but, actually not an artificial requirement.

Thank youu! We had a few funny ideas

stranger.dance (19€/yr) magnus.institute (19€/yr) unknowing.dance (taken) fairchild.voyage (48€/yr)

there were a lot other ideas but they were all taken or a bajillion dollars

A VPS is basically just a complicated way of making an account with a large infrastructure provider imo if i can't have a raspberry pi, that costs only electricity, and have it host an email server

the protocol is not open! at least it is more closed than i'd like - it's open enough for companies, granted

To be honest, you can explain this to anyone fairly quickly, at least when you have someones irl attention. Maybe not your grandparents

But who cares, they weren't really active on social medias anyway

?? then clearly, i CANNOT run an email server? without buying my way into a higher status of ip address?

i can host fedi from residential ip's, and that's a huge part why it's possible for us to talk right now (of course, i need cloudflares help for this, since i have no ipv4 address - but other than that)

The thing is: the average person with admin skills can probably house 100+ users at almost no cost, or comfortably out of pocket

maybe a few donations soo thats what decentralisation hopes to achive

How about you provide me with a SOURCE!

Well here you are: https://mastodon.social/@alexeheath/110596207691212890

Eugen respondend though: https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/110599738227401392

And there were other screenshots of Eugen saying he was meeting with Meta Maybe no secret deals- But an NDA meeting.

Most germans are on gmx.net, and they block residential ips. So it's impossible to send them messages. So i had to abandon my efforts.
