    i would also wish everyone could be a fully independent node in the net. if each one could be his/her own server, this would be perfect in theory, also it would change the `game` completely.

    it sounds scaring, but choosing the right software according to your needs it's possible to have a server act as your server or as your client

  4. nuegia.net

    part of the problem is ISPs.

  5. nuegia.net

    with the refusal to adopt IPv6, instead relying on several layers of cgnat

  6. nuegia.net

    port-blocking

  7. nuegia.net

    etc

  8. nuegia.net

    Something I'm doing which works around this but adds latency and overhead is setting up wireguard tunnels between our sites and tunneling to datacenters

  9. alfred

    We need more onions

  10. nuegia.net

    i pay for a VPS somewhere, and either use their ipv6 directly or terminate a tunnel broker there

  11. nuegia.net

    use it as a cloud router

  12. nuegia.net

    also, I setup wireguard tunnels between partner sites and pubnix systems to directly route my ipv6 range more efficiently

  13. nuegia.net

    IPv6 is what allows this. Having the ability to just route contiguous ranges makings routing a lot simpler

  14. kapad

    i think port blocking is their wished future, i use tor for my private small self-services, ...but..., as i read above, we gonna be off-topic if continue :)

  15. nuegia.net

    It would be really nice though if the FCC stepped up and regulated this crap though

  16. nuegia.net

    it'd be really nice if when I pay for internet service, I actually got internet and not just a weird triple-cg-natted and firewalled garbage hack that can only be used for consuuuuming content from FAGMAN services.

  17. nuegia.net

    the funny this is, the ISP i'm switching to has a 'net neutrality' commitment statement on their website and talks about up they won't discriminate applications. Yet at the same time their terms of service says they block application ports

  18. nuegia.net

    I can't even pay them more money to fix their crap. The ""bussiness"" plan has worse speeds (like half or less, isn't even considered broadband by FCC standards), is more expensive (by a long margin), and still doesn't have IPv6

  19. alfred

    Just move then

  20. nuegia.net

    I'm working on it, but I'm stuck in a poverty trap

  21. alfred

    Or setup an l2 vpn

  22. nuegia.net

    There are no jobs in this state

  23. alfred

    Lies

  24. nuegia.net

    not for what I'm skilled in, which is IT

  25. alfred

    It is needed everywhere

  26. nuegia.net

    alfred, I just talked about having to VPN things. scroll up.

  27. nuegia.net

    it maybe be needed everywhere but that doesn't mean companies are willing to hire staff for it.

  28. alfred

    nuegia.net: WG isn't l2

  29. nuegia.net

    A lot of infrastructure is like that here.

  30. nuegia.net

    I don't have any need for layer 2 tunneling.

  31. nuegia.net

    layer 3 is enough.

  32. kapad

    in my country country, state answer ISPs that was illegal to block ports, but that was some 10 years before, not sure if still the case. now ISPs not block ports, but even the state itself use third party `services` to reject communication for various reasons

    I'm really hoping and trying my hardest to get out of the midwest
