@arusha i've bought things from Germany before on eBay and shipping wasn't too expensive, so if you're willing to find a shipping estimate I'd at least like to know how much it would come to so i could make an offer :)

@arusha YES! I'm interested! I'm in the UK currently in possession of 3 chumbys and an active Blue Octy subscription, would love to add one to the fleet!

there should be a service cheaper than renting a vps where you can rent a static IP address and join a VPN with a server (or otherwise get traffic forwarded) so you can host things locally in your own connection for those with internet access that blocks hosting traffic or doesn't offer an IP that isn't CGNATted

@suricrasia like, yeah, entirely with you. if it wasn't for limitations of IP and greedy ISPs blocking traffic you wouldn't need to hunt for a cheap VPS or otherwise to host a website, you could just stuff an old PC in a closet. this is something that has been radiation background in my mind for ages and you brought it forwards

@suricrasia "you can have your own IP to host from but only if it's this new version almost nobody can connect to" is certainly a choice

network address translators were the beginning of the end of the internet. almost every cool decentralized technology would've been 1000% easier if we didn't have NATs on every residential connection to the internet.

do you think they'll have to cremate joanne rowling because of the amount of people who would vandalise her grave

"polymath" feels like one of those descriptors you would be too pretentions to give yourself rather than it being given to you

@suricrasia perish the thought of Ubuntu boxen where the easiest way to get up to date PHP is one single guy's PPA
