I agree with you to some extent, but I also think it's far more feasible than most people realize. I run a bunch of services (mail, website, repos, etc...) out of my house, and it's super rare that I have any problems with it. I know it wouldn't work for everyone, I'm just lucky enough to live in a city that has decent internet, but I think it is entirely doable for a lot more people than we realize.
- Steltek 9y agoDoesn't email have a lot of problems with residential IPs? Either they're blacklisted out the wazoo or the provider blocks SMTP? It's not just about having "decent Internet".
- CaptSpify 9y agoNot that I've ever experienced. The provider may block it, but IME that's as easy as sending them an email to open the port (which I would consider under the umbrella of "decent internet"). I can't say I've ever had my IP blacklisted that I know of, and I've never had delivery problems.
