A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Self hosted at home really depends on what sort of Internet you can even get. You might be metered, you might only have a couple mbps upstream, it probably is against TOS.
It's definitely against the ToS for me ISP. I doubt they'll ever really find out because the bandwidth I'm using isn't as crazy as the other customers which regularly stream from Netflix, Hulu, etc. I can kind of hide in plain sight. Also, my internet connection is fiber to the home. I have the lowest tier of service at 300MiB up and down. So I guess I realize I'm coming from a situation of relative privilege. I wish most people had this capability.
