Comment on ISPs seem designed to funnel people to capitalist cloud services
ellie@slrpnk.net 6 days agoWhile I agree on a practical level, and pragmatism sure is important, long term it still makes you pay into cloud services and gives cloud companies an easy way to directly man-in-the-middle your traffic. So I’m hoping one day the situation will improve.

@ellie @selfhosted what is the actual alternative? also, not all vps are offfered by megacorps.

The alternative is to get your ISP to offer you a static IPv6 and a reverse DNS PTR entry for your IPv6, like I asked for in the initial post. Some ISPs do if you offer them more money, some only do if you offer them more money and a legit business registration, apparently a few rare ones do it for free, and some never do it.

@ellie @selfhosted I've never seen that from an ISP. 🤷♂️

Most offer it, but often not for the regular consumer contracts.
