That changed (ahm.. will change) with ipv6. I was surprised to see that I can reach residential ipv6 lan hosts directly from the server. No firewalls, no nat. This remains true even with abusive isps that only give out /64 blocks.
That said, I agree that peer to peer will never be seemless thanks mostly to said abusive isps.
> consumers have already self-selected into ... crappy LLM outputs
Tangent, but last I checked, it was all the big tech giants pushing it down our throat. Unless it's your full time job to find loopholes and workarounds, there is no reasonable way for consumers to opt-out.
My wake up moment with google was when they accused a parent of being a pedophile, permanently banned their accounts, reported them the police, and then doubled down when they were proven wrong.
Not only due those degenerates have the gal to creep on people, they refuse to admit wrongdoing or make their victems whole.
No, I'm afraid you're way off. Their response was far from efficient. I reported a fault in their interface and they wrote a whole peragraph demeaning me in a passive aggressive manner.
The workaround (to their subpar system) was a single line at the end. Very opposite from German efficiency if you ask me.
That said, I did switch newer deployments to another cloud provider who is more professional, so it really does seem that they do not care about my measly account :-)
With (deserved) increased scrutiny in Huawei and friends, I'm half tempted to get the discarded gear to actually put in production use. China/Huawei is no longer in a position to pull something stupid.
Current gen functioning gear at a discount price will be very tempting.
I sttongly disagree based in my interaction with them. They were very rude. That said, their services are reasonably priced and they have been competent throughout my time with them.
Hetzner would be far more appealing if they ever decide to muzzle their rebid support team.
