I agree, 7 is the closest we come to actually self hosting.. Unfortunately, due to a total lack of regulation, or distinction as to what constitutes Internet access, 7 is becoming increasingly problematic because ISPs are increasingly doing NAT and blocking outgoing packets. I won't go as far as to say that, unless you're your own ISP, you're not self-hosting, but I'm leaning in that direction, from having experienced the increasingly firm hold that ISPs have around my neck.. It was not always like this. There was indeed a time when a connection to the Internet meant that you got to participate on the same terms at everyone else. I want that level of participation back for everyone. Participation by every connected device should be the default, not the exception.
