I blocked packets arriving externally on my firewall with ip-options a couple of days ago. Firewall rule has zero hits, and I've got a very open ISP (andrews+arnold), if I want I can host SMTP, DNS, whatever

Google search was a breath of fresh air 25 years ago, it became shit. AI will go the same way.

2 years ago people were raving how great AI was.

Most people don't care about a private IP, which is why they cost about $20-$25 each (which would be about $2 a year to finance). I've used Airtel in the past and they certainly offer a dedicated IP. Currently I'm with TATA and Vodafone in India

Indeed a shared IP is arguably a benefit in that it makes fingerprinting harder.

If your ISP had customers who were interested it could spend $150k on a /19 block giving 8000 IPv4 addresses and charge an extra ₹100 a month for them and after two years it would be in profit.

In fact I think Jio and Airtel offer static IPs for residential use for something like ₹300 a month, which given how cheap IPv4 addresses are is a massive money spinner, but I have't spoken to anyone living in India about ISPs for a couple of years.

Or I can (and do) use something good. That doesn't change the fact atlasian no longer support on prem jira.

We've just moved from on-prem (protected by MTLS) to on-cloud because of this. I now know why everyone hates jira. The cloud version is so much worse

Only if that battery was connected to 500GW of inverter capacity (and the grid was a spherical chicken -- enough intertia-replacement devices to keep timing working, enough capacity to link supply with demand etc)

Most professional pollers do a good job.

When they are 3 or 4 percentage points off they are ripped to shreds.

The polls for the recent Brazil elections were about 49% for Lula, the result was 52%, that's a 3 point difference, not a massive error margin. With brexit the polling pointed to about 52% for remain, actual result was 48%.

But those are proper polling companies, not worthless online ones.

> Can I scrape all GPL source code from github. Then use the code commercially and then say so what, they made their source code available to download?

Yes, that's the whole point of the GPL. Use it however you want, but don't restrict the next person

I trust my ISP far more than I trust bigtech. The downside of connecting from my ISP is that the site I connect to can fingerprint me trivially from the IP range

If you control the connecting device why not use MTLS?

All my business traffic comes from either our own AS, or from ZScaler's AS

Do many companies really use azure etc rather than dedicated services like zscaler?

And all sorts of companies, from small businesses to multinationals, and a fair few people at home, paid it.

Businesses were quite happy to spend $5k on technology for a worker if it makes things better, why wouldn't they today.

Make it 3/4 an inch narrower and an inch shorter and I'll get one

In the 90s we'd pay $5k a head (inflation adjusted - about $2k then) for a 486 with 80MB of disk space
