And then I read about someone’s smart bed that got stuck in an upright position on heat mode because of the outage. Makes me feel like all that time sourcing devices that run locally was worth it.
Are we just digital preppers?
Edit: I get it, you aren’t preppers, I’m sorry I said that.
From reading your comments I have gathered that you simply want to be ready (not prepared!) for when a free service becomes paid or they shut something down that you use or you simply don’t like the idea of the gubbermint or the corporations being able to look though your data.
Many of you seem aware that your concerns are considered far fetched or like non issues by the average person.
well you are preppers, I’m sorry you had to find out this way.
Who hosts your DNS?
If I’m on my local network hosting my locally hosted services, I do.
Even if I didn’t run my own DNS, the cache on the local devices would have been enough to let me access things like plex or nextcloud. Or just type the local ip in directly
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? /j
Yeah I’m onboard using raw IP adresses but I’m probably annoutlier here 😊
Also, who didtributes the IP adresses 😖 why didn’t they go with MAC adresses.
One MAC might have multiple IP addresses.
You’re right that it’s unfortunate that one American entity gets to decide ipv4/v6 address space though.
Yeah, but there are enough MAC adresses. Anyways we’re stuck with this I guess, IPv4 or unreadable IPv6 adresses.
Me myself and I.
Also a third party for some family connections.
