Does it come with a static IP?
I have a 400 megabit upload speed which is more than a lot of the VPS services I use in practice. However, the IP sometimes changes without warning. No way to get a static one without business pricing which is an order of magnitude more. I'd like to run my servers locally.
I cannot imagine much use for more than 200 megabit. I know Alan Kay preaches that you need to be living in the future to invent the future in a technical way. But I don't believe it. The things we need today don't seem to more and faster but better organization of the tech we already have.
We're absolutely in the stone age with software architecture, organizational structures, and communication technology that helps (and not hurts) humanity. We've got a lot work to do here.
Peer to peer networking enabled by reasonable upload speeds could help here. But still, you need a static IP to make it practical.
- betaby 2y agoI have A/AAAA records set dynamically for my home connection. Granted I don't host anything that requires 99.99% uptime at home.
- toomuchtodo 2y agoI get a mostly static IP that cycles when the power goes out long enough (central florida location). I use Cloudflare, Tailscale and DDNS, works fine for my uses. Importantly, it’s not CGNAT like T-Mobile Home Internet or Metronet, which makes inbound services significantly more challenging. $40/month for 500Mb symmetrical. Anything important is in a rack at a colo facility.
