I'm not legally allowed to self host things without violating my ISP's AUP

The rest of it generally sucks too.

High Speed Internet AUP

Show threadwizardSep 9, 2019
Honestly even Comcast's business class internet has some bullshit

I can't apply network filtering policies in my lan?

Comcast can literally interfere with my services' availability at will?

I can't change from Comcast's default DNS?

IRC and other chat bots cannot be hosted

What does this last thing even mean? Am I not allowed to let people know that my web services are, in fact, a teapot?

I probably misunderstood some of those but they're so oversimplified that I'm asking more questions than I'm getting answers

@seven I mean, I'm posting the less-expected bullshit. It's probably wrong that I expected things like this to be in there but ey

There's obviously a lot wrong with internet politics and policy in general and I think that lots of people are already aware of most of what's going on.

@wizard And stuff like this: "post, store, send, transmit, or disseminate any information or material which a reasonable person could deem to be unlawful;"

What reasonable person? Like who are we talking about, and do I get to agree they are reasonable. They have lost their mind if they think any of this is actually enforceable if anyone with the ability to legally fight back does...

@seven Honestly why is comcast trying to police the data that I "store"

Like if I have it, it's not their problem. They're just a telecommunications company, not a global authority for what lives on my NAS

That's the government's job if anything
