I host a web app that has 200KB pages and reaches 3.5Gbps peak bandwidth in two racks in an expensive datacenter. The lease plus bandwidth is about 1/5 to 1/7 the cost of AWS.

That's because now HN is mostly FAANG employees. FAANG is naturally opposed to Bitcoin because it's difficult for them to imagine how they would control it. When it rallied to 20000, they only saw it as a threat.

If you are on AT&T u-verse you can just assign a part of your IPv6 subnet (which appears to be static) to your RPi and disable the firewall to that host. Then you can accept incoming connections on ports 80, 22 and even 25 (for 25 I had

Note that this exception has not been added in California's AB5. The original target was ridesharing companies but now with prop 22 they may actually be exempt, while the freelancers will remain the (unintended?) target. My bootstrappe
