@maxeddy I'm still a Steemian for the long hall. Steem and Lumen, that's pretty much it.

@LWFlouisa port redirect is when you forward out a nonstandard port, but somehow a third-party service does something to redirect it to 80, but the public hasn't the dangdest that you're using a nonstandard port. If you want to use something other than 80 for HTTP but want the search engines to find you, then you cannot use a nonstandard port without redirection.

@LWFlouisa You could also opt for a port redirect, which is often cheaper than hosting.

@LWFlouisa debateable. I say that because most ISPs flip-flop regarding what they will allow. My friend wants to open port 80, but is afraid it will be blocked on any day.

@LWFlouisa Server issues are fun to fix when they're your issues. Makes you think hard. It's when you have others breathing down your neck to fix it and fix it now that gets to me.

@LWFlouisa Cheaper, in the long run when you don't have to pay a hosting company. I don't care that much for my ISP's terms of service. I'll break them in order to host at home until they physically shut me down.

@hasmis Why not?

@twdockery I have a single server for right now, though that's going to be changing here in the not too distant future. He's a PowerEdge T110, and he's attached to a 1U Ubiquiti USG Pro, and on top of her is a UniFi US-24. I also have two laptops, both Latitudes; Tam is a Latitude D630 I saved from the garbage, while Rand is my main Latitude E6540. Will be also getting a Dell OptiPlex 5050 desktop, as well, along with a Sangoma S500 VOIP phone ... so yeah, I've sort of got it going on.

@hasmis I think that all operating systems have merits, but then again, I'm less caring about what Microsoft does with my data, either; at least they are transparent about it, unlike some.

@LWFlouisa Got that right.

@LWFlouisa I'm a paid member, unfortunately. And here's why I wish the IndieWeb was more prominent; imagine the amount of responses he'd get had the article been written on his own blog, instead of using a third party service as a courier for it?

@hasmis It used to be like that; there was a time when Microsoft hated the open source community. During the reigns of Gates and Ballmer, that is. Ballmer was insane anyways, though, i'm pretty sure. Nedella, on the other hand, I would shake his hand and say hello any day.

@LWFlouisa I myself, I know what they mean, though I don't think it's necessarily the term I would have chosen had the article been written by me.

@hasmis I can see how you might feel that way, but I don't find the new Microsoft to be crap. Their attitudes have changed quite dramatically; look at everything they have that is open source. In fact, my core infrastructure has a lot of Microsoft based stuff in it, and that's by choice.

I thinkthat changes to the digital world will be coming about in rather short order, at least if I have anything to say about it, that is. Honestly, that's one of the most prominent reasons why I run server infrastructure at home. Sure, my open source org is an actual company, but even without the LLC behind the name, wouldn't matter all that much, considering even though I work in IT, as well day in and day out, i don't have control. At home, I've got all control in the universe.

I think these people are actually making some good points in this article ... https://medium.com/s/story/its-time-to-embrace-digital-nutrition-5371bd736cb
