Is this really true? "A friend of mine" has been running a Jellyfin server behind Cloudflare tunnels for years and hasn't had any issue.
I would guess they only take action when they get a DMCA complaint and that wouldn't happen if you only share privately with friends.

Ultimately, someone has to be in control of who is or is not part of that decentralized network that is the registry.

>Ultimately, someone has to be in control of who is or is not part of that decentralized network Ethereum is an unpermissioned network. Anyone is free to join or leave at anytime. >how are you preventing me from saying "I'm part of the .crypto registry, totes.") The registry would be a smart contract. There doesn't fundamentally need to be an owner. >how are you preventing me from saying "I'm part of the .crypto regi…
Old guy here, wild that people don't know this. Like, I have fiber and a static IP. Never much thought about hosting a website from my house because it didn't seem all that special. Maybe I should?
It's fine to host something for friends on a residential ISP. They don't care. If you want to make it a public website it's more uncertain. Still don't worry though, because they won't just ban you from the internet. Worst you'd get is a phone call telling you to stop it.

you can go ipv6 only, any good isp will give you a static /56 for free. practically none of your users have ipv4 only devices when every major os has been dual stack by default for like 15 years. if your isp cant give you one its time to switch as soon as you can.
My ISP is only ipv4. It doesn't matter if an OS technically support ipv6 or not.
They have poor reputations and are blocked from streaming sites and so on. But when you're the server, that doesn't affect you.
Note that you need a static v4 and DMZ because the tunnel protocol is a very simple one - presumably because they run it on giant routers. It just puts a v4 header in front of the v6 header. No TCP or UDP.
I arrived at a pretty similar system starting from similar goals. https://rustyswarf.com , which runs on a very simple framework called Travail. In practice, I found cloudflare necessary to deter bots/crawlers. It is indeed fairly cheap, but you're still dependent upon three entities you don't really control: the DNS, the host, and Cloudflare.

Considering many people doesn't know what a file is, keeping the spirit alive is important, I think.
I encountered juniors straight out of school who don’t know what tar is, or rsync, or what a symlink is. It’s all learnable and everyone starts somewhere. But you’d think natural curiosity would kick in and they’d have picked up some of this on their own by the time they have a job.
And I’ve hosted my own web server these last 20 years.
For complete beginners, I made https://weejur.com , which is designed to make it easy for even a complete beginner to paste in HTML and get it hosted on GitHub Pages for free. (And is also hosted itself on GitHub for free!)

I've never understood this mentality. Why can't they still sell your data after you pay them? Porque no los dos?
So never bother with anything, am I right? Anything could be bad. Why eat the burger instead of the cyanide pill when there could be cyanide in the burger?

> The field of software engineering is dominated by the smart people that do something not because they have to but out of curiosity. Emphasis mine. We wish. I think the state of tech pretty conclusively demonstrates those people aren’t the ones who dominate. Money and power hungry tech bros do, which is why everything is shit and exploitative.
The tech bros are the ones that control the companies, not the field of software engineering.
The shit and exploitation don’t build themselves.

Ok, sure, windows. But here’s one I heard literally two days ago: we counted three engineers (out of many) who knew that physical memory was not actually a giant flat space of contiguous addresses, and that there were multiple layers of address-mapping and region-joining glue logic between a program and the hardware, including in os libraries, and even inside the hardware. Maybe knowing such information is archaic or…
But physical memory is a giant flat space of contiguous addresses. Do you mean virtual memory?
