Everyone told them Heroku is no good. Hopefully they're listening now.

I wonder when the Isps will start becoming this bent.

That's when we start busting out radio mesh networks

And thats when the gov makes them illegal....in fact they probably already are. It's actually disappointing that because of radio frequency regs mesh networks would otherwise be so effective that they would solve the last mile. Just look how effective wifi is with the tiny portion of spectrum it uses, imagine giving it a gigahertz. So much is wasted on broadcast systems.

I actually think a lot of what we are seeing now is a covert and overt push to reign in the internet. It has threaten too much of the old guards power. Look at the recent scene bust. Many systems have been put in place now to enable that. Soon I think most commercial encryption will be made useless, if it is not already.

I'm pretty sure the US government made illegal any broadcasting on short wave and longer: all appropriated for "national security". A bunch of other frequencies as well, IIRC. I forget which, it was over a decade ago.

I saw someone launching a social media site on ssh the other day, was an interesting idea. But it requires the user run ssh software.

Made me wonder if it's possible to make a site using DNS records as the code itself... imagine if DNS stored tons of IPv6 addresses that were interpreted as programming arguments and variables, rather than IP addresses. The data storage and recovery process is already distributed... Probably not workable in reality, but it'd sure be interesting.
