Wasn’t really static IP, but upload caps and bandwidth limits. And “updated Terms of Service.” To your point, they started charging for static IPs or just not offering them for “home” service. In the early days (feeling old yet), self hosting wasn’t shut down so much as shared hosting from home. People were running shared web and email hosts from home and ISPs didn’t like that added cost and competition, mostly cost. Bandwidth was expensive going over copper exchanges.

Technology@lemmy.world•IFIXIT: Victory Is Sweet - We Can Now Fix McDonald’s Ice Cream MachinesEnglish
8·1 year agoIfixit has been a community driven repair site for over 20 years. It was indispensable for repairing apple laptops when they were still transitioning to Intel from PowerPC. I haven’t kept up with all the changes, but they sell tools and parts now. Even from a jaded perspective one can see the right to repair is in their best interest.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is something you encounter everyday that is completely divorced from reality?
2·1 year agoTo me it’s starting to sound more like bad labeling or awareness campaign. It makes some sense if it’s “carpools are allowed to use the bus lane”, not so much when it’s “here is a lane to make it easier to carpool”.

Isn’t a racism judging someone’s character based on ethnic heritage or physical expression rather than, you know, their character?
Medical predisposition, nah that’s racist!
