Never used it nor never will, I want my infra to be as independant as possible, and also fuck internet centralisation and fuck corpos
So I've done public DNS zone hosting and you can use let's encrypt for certs and such, but
Basically, cloudflare is free, and i get all that. If I find another place better, I'm open to jumping ship.
Not trying to get into a pissing contest, or twist your arm into anything...however, honest question: What do you consider your ISP? Centralized or no? I mean, there are only around 10 to 15 major Tier-1 backbone ISPs that I know of, everyone else contracts with them. There are about 12–14 true Tier-1 backbone providers that form the core of the global Internet, and a few dozen additional very large backbone networks (Tier 2) that also carry massive amounts of international internet traffic.
Yes, and in fact I am collaborating in a neighborhood project for the implementation of a local ISP. Obviously you are right, with the way the internet is built it is inevitable to depend on some centralized systems out of reach, I cannot lay a submarible cable xD. But other than in cases of absolute need, where there is really no alternative, I want an internet more like it was before I was born, just people communicating using local infra, not Internet Monsantos
