   thinking about how it should be super easy to host a website on residential internet and yet it isn't

     @SuricrasiaOnline I am solidly convinced this is entirely intentional.

     @SuricrasiaOnline I mean, the problem is that the set of people that want to have a website and the set of people that want to run a server are pretty distinct.

     I guess you could imagine a managed server hardware product, but then you have a higher barrier to entry (more expensive).

     I think we need more stuff like geocities and Tumblr and myspace.

     Yeah this is near zero. The one thing Moxie got right. =)

     @clacke @SuricrasiaOnline no, it's not zero--lots of people enjoy getting their hands dirty in computers.

     But they are the people that enjoy the process, tinkering with the metaphorical engine. They're generally not in it to just make a website.

     @valhalla Yes, people are making progress on the hardware and software side, and that just makes it even worse that many ISPs are instead making it harder.

     @astraluma @SuricrasiaOnline There are projects like the freedombox that aren't managed (as in: there isn't a person to call if something goes wrong), but try to make it as easy as possible to host things, and they run on pretty cheap hardware.
     
     Freedombox is also available pre-installed, and while not extremely cheap it's in a range that is reasonably so for a middle-class (lol) household in the rich part of the world.
