If it was lan/wifi/bluetooth/local only then I could see it being kinda neat. Could have a little personal profile page for the people in your immediate vicinity. Could even update it by location. Like a kind of hyperlocal Tinder.
But if this is a WWW page doesn’t it open up individuals to D/DoS attacks? What happens when an angry ex nukes your battery on a Saturday night? I don’t see why hosting from a phone should (or even could) be a thing.
The article doesn’t convincingly establish why phone hosting is important. If it’s a cost issue then wouldn’t it be a competitive loss-leader for an ISP add-on like we had in the past? ISPs used to provide web hosting, email, newsgroups, etc. Those all went away in favor of dedicated providers, which seems like a better model.
- albuic 3y agoI have always thought that we need a way to add firewall rules on ISP side so that we can block abuse at the origin without impacting the last device.
- mulmen 3y agoNo thanks. ISPs have proven to not be trustworthy. What you are describing is a proxy like Cloudflare who you pay specifically to prevent abuse through your domain. I want a firewall from my ISP about as much as I want a carwash from my public utilities.
