The rest of it generally sucks too.

@haskal I guess this is a compliant configuration, as long as I'm not running dedicated hardware I could still self-host for non commercial purposes

Unfortunately that defeats the whole purpose

Imagine a bunch of 8 year old kids setting up a spare laptop to run a minecraft server to play together, then Comcast shutting their internet down because they violated their policy against running dedicated service hosting hardware. Any potential for them to learn about networking technology gets cut off right at the political level.

@brad I don't think they'll ever give me a problem, but it's still technically against the rules
