Hot bananas, THIS. Tell them it’s to reduce crime, and when they say there’s no crime yell “EXACTLY” and mic drop.

They probably won’t get it but it’ll make for a great viral clip.

My tinfoil hat take: Because they can’t sell the customer data. Break even or even loose money on the game, but make money on the data. It’s like an evil version of Costco’s hotdogs.

What’s their sales pitch? If there’s no crime to catch, why buy it?

Or more directly, follow the money. Someone is getting paid, and probably sold (lied) to the decision makers. Next, inform the decision makers (I’m assuming town councillors?) that if they do this an election will be forced and they’ll all be off. And make sure to state that as fact, not a hypothetical. They need to see it as a direct and immediate consequence of a retarded decision.

I’ve got an “enterprise” connection; I pestered them about it and they’re insistent that they only do static IPv6. All their IPv4 is CGNAT, even on the business side.

I want to specifically avoid services like DDNS and Cloudflare (especially Cloudflare); current plan is a tiny VPS somewhere I don’t hate acting as an IPv4 gateway.

The more I read about anything post-v29 the more I think anyone running serious nodes won’t be updating past 29 for years / until we see the nerd drama is over. Too many tween schoolgirl hormones flying around to bet the stack required to run a node.

A bit of a rabbit trail, but wow, 21% tax on rentals? Is anything else taxed like that, or just accommodations?
