Realistically, anyone with an IP connection already self hosts a wide assortment of IP packets. As long as it isn't commercial or abusive, they are never going to know or care.
- sneak 4y agoThis is false. I got nastygrams from my residential ISP in the US accusing me of running servers because I rsynced 3TB of photos offsite as a backup. It was not a server, not commercial, and not abusive. I was threatened with disconnection.
- anderspitman 4y agoWow, that seems pretty extreme. What's your ISP?
- sneak 4y agoCox. I also pay extra each month for unlimited data transfer.
- dont__panic 4y agoWhat did you do to deal with those nastygrams? I'd probably try to feign ignorance, blame it on a computer virus or something, and avoid that kind of massive transfer in the future. I run my own server from home so I'm curious if I could get away with that, or if I should consider alternative solutions.
- sneak 4y ago3TB is not massive. I know professionals who shoot that much in a year; this was all my digital photos from 1997-2021.
