Just got 300mbps (max 1gb) symmetrical fiber at home. This is a ridiculous amount of upload bandwidth. I could run a website, a Fedi instance, an Internet radio, Minecraft servers, all from a box in my kitchen...
except the service is IPv4 provided by CGNAT. Fiber-optic residential CGNAT. And this isn't just my one company: local ISPs everywhere can dig a trench and bury long lines to (semi-)rural homes but can't get enough IPv4 addresses to go around. Completely nuts.
The slow-rolling of IPv6 is a crime and it absolutely stymies self-hosting, forcing people to go to one of a few major players (Google, Amazon, etc) who hoard the magic numbers - or pay external services (Mojang) for shared hosting on a worse platform than we could provide ourselves.

You can always terminate your connection on a cheap vps and have compute & storage at home

@panda interesting idea - I've been looking at least at using something like Tailscale to make SSH available when I'm away from home, but that doesn't help much with the other port-forwarding needs
-
@greg actually it does. You can use 'tailscale funnel' and 'tailscale cert' to both expose a service and terminate tls for a service.

@panda well, I'm sold (on the free tier lol)
