@xj9 Not for me. I've been gone for over three years. No one at home would be able to restore access when the ISP changes things 2-3 times per year.

@lnxw48a1 @xj9 I would not want my home IP address made public, it could cause problems.

@xj9 @geniusmusing Well, obviously, it is more than HTTP, but if you don't start there, you've lost most people already. The Web is still the primary way most people use or perceive the networked inter-network of networks.
.
If putting up lnxw37.rocks and smtp.lnxw37.rocks and xmpp.lnxw37.rocks on my home machine accessible isn't doable, then #self-hosting as a synonym for "hosting at home" is still out of reach for most people (even using a #raspi or similar)

@xj9 @geniusmusing @lnxw48a1 I think the future is going to be p2p and that HTTP+DNS will fade, eventually.
DNS is old. It's insecure, despite attempts to shore it up, and it's perhaps the most common way that governments mess with people's access to the internet. It also creates dependency on the US and on ridiculous ceremonies.

@bob @xj9 @geniusmusing I do agree, but today, if I want to host services (other than sharing copyrighted music and video) that interact with common people, it needs at minimum DNS, HTTP, SMTP.
