 @ae1c89a6 Nope! We have two providers to choose from: the bad one, and the worse one! (For wired internet, anyway.)

As for the rest: sure, cap UL/DL bandwidth, but keep it symmetric. Monthly data caps are a bit harder to justify IMO. Dynamic IPs may be a legacy of IPv4, but I’m still a bit sore about the botched IPv6 adoption. Most of all, ISP TOS banning people from running their own servers is some serious bullshit.

Anyways, I do plan on checking out Peertube! 
 @ffabe43d If you really want to host from home, consider using a .onion #tor address. The IP can change, all the network cares about is that your server has the private key for the address. And I guarantee you won’t hit those pesky bandwidth limits, ha ha 
 @ae1c89a6 @ffabe43d Lol. Reminds me of using OnionShare myself to share over 10GBs of video data to a friend, because I was unable to circumvent the NAT of my router. 😁

Probably have picked something else if I had knewn what "NAT hole punching" means. 
 @7900ce57 @ffabe43d IPv6 is great for evading firewalls… that’s why I block it at home, and allow it on my VPS servers
