amosI think having an ASN would fix me 😌
…I don’t suppose anyone following me can help with getting me an ASN (at RIPE, if I understood correctly)
✧✦Catherine✦✧@fasterthanlime happy to answer questions as someone who did just this from 0 a month or two ago
@whitequark any realistic edge providers besides Vultr? (and excluding big dedicated nodes?)
I emailed HostHatch to ask what "additional costs" means, we'll see.
@fasterthanlime rn i'm using Rage4 because i don't anticipate having the resources to get a /24
@whitequark right! I found some /24 for ~90$ a month on IPXO, much lower than what I thought it would be.
Ryan Castellucci (they/them) 
@fasterthanlime @whitequark IPXO's typical customer base is a bit of a cesspool, FWIW.
My immediate reaction upon seeing that name is "blackhole".
@ryanc @whitequark noooo
@ryanc @whitequark What would you recommend for IPv4 leasing? cause... you have to get them from _somewhere_
@fasterthanlime @whitequark The only IP leasing companies I'm aware of are the ones on my shit list. Digital Energy Technologies is the worst one, if they still exist.
@ryanc @whitequark I mean, yeah, the people who can afford to spend 7k on a /24 are probably less likely to cause trouble than the ones who are leasing it, but I don't think I want to invest into IPv4 that hard right now x)
Erin 💽✨@fasterthanlime @ryanc @whitequark most IP leasing customers are cess pools, sadly. But if you don't intend to send emails you shouldn't have too many IP reputation problems
If you do want to send emails you'll be spending ages cleaning up the blocks reputation

@erincandescent @ryanc @whitequark I'm currently sending transactional email from a stalwart mail instance running on Hetzner. I guess it's a miracle any of my emails arrive?
