Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

This is false. Some ISP's change IP's often, but some don't and sometimes geoip lookups can be really accurate. My IP has remained the same since I moved in, and a geoip lookup results in a coordinate less than a kilometer away. It does matter.
I guess you live in a country with loads of spare IP addresses. Here in the UK they change every few days and IPs get rotated between all ISPs, so you can't even deduct which ISP I'm using. And sometimes my IP is not even a mainland UK IP, but some weird shit from across the world, because Empire, lol.
When looking up my static ip, the location I get is the one of my ISP, not my address. Do you happen to live nearby some central infrastructure of your ISP? (If it seems otherwise, I'm not trying to debunk what you said - I'm just asking curious questions!)
Yes, it seems to be a hit or a miss. I don't think I live near any central infrastructure or ISP, especially not this specific part of the city.
@qaz @Aux now you’ve just exposed where you live not your ipaddress. Nobody would have thought it was that close now they do.
