It's a sad indictment of how far we've come from the early vision of a pervasive, distributed Internet that it's considered a novelty to run out of your own home or office, rather than on the servers of a couple of massively centralised megacorporations.
- jdeibele 11y agoWow. Many people don't want to try and keep up with the absolute latest security issues and don't have the bandwidth for even the most trivial DDOS attack. You can host with companies a lot smaller than Google or Amazon. Let someone else carry the pager, you know?
- untog 11y agoNot really. It's mostly a reflection of the impracticality of hosting a service on a personal internet connection these days.
- troncheadle 11y agoI'm not sure this is accurate. Most companies I know host their sites on Amazon, etc. Most people having fun on the internet that I know host things on their raspberry pi, etc. The dream of the distributed internet is still alive, in that way.
