@lain Haha, oh boy, this will be interesting. I'm more worried about federation at this point - will other servers respect a port number etc.

I suppose I should get my little arm box plugged in here... any it will be great for users of crappy ISPs if it works

@lain Hmm. Good to know that's an option. The fewer moving parts the better though where possible. It'd be cool to be able to run Pleroma on a little box that I can cart around with me if eg I go live somewhere else for months/weeks and have it work fine (with dynamic DNS - I use afraid.org)

@lain Yup. I'm gonna see if I can get it working without such a thing, as my budget is $0 😅

If it doesn't work though, I'll end up cobbling a similar solution together I'm sure.

The #FreedomBone model appeals to me, though I haven't set one of those up. I suspect the neofeudal nomadic class will only grow, the easier to #selfhost the better, at least for some stuff.

@swiley Comcast.

@deutrino Are you using one of the firewalls that they rent out? If so that would likely be why. I have comcast and regularly ssh/http back to my house.

@swiley Yeah, it's a terrible gateway, but it's not my house - I only have so much influence here regarding swapping it out for something decent. It would be useful to figure this stuff out anyway tho as blocking low ports is pretty common for US ISPs, or used to be anyway.

@deutrino ah, that's not fun.

@swiley Yeah, the thing boots my phone off the wifi at random multiple times a day and is generally buggy and horrible. I have a Surfboard in a box but so far haven't convinced the homeowner to set it up with a router etc. There's an opportunity in a few weeks when we move most of the networked gadgets to a different room in the house though.
