    😅. Okay, story time:

    When StreetView was introduced this dominated public debate in Germany for weeks. It was all the rage, “how dare they to photograph everything?”

    One official even suggested “it’s awesome, police can now patrol the streets from an office chair”, because that is how much of a backwater country Germany is digitally.

    Anyway, people saw immediately all the crime which all the criminal criminals would do with this tool (which tells you something about the state of mind of the “righteous folks”). Anyway, half the country was blurred, because everybody knew about it. And it is the reason, why StreetView is so patchy in Germany (or at least was for the longest time, didn’t check much in recent years) compared to the neighbouring states, 'cause Google pretty much said “Fuck these fucking Germans with their fucking shit”.

    Apple came around some years later with their version, nobody cared anymore 😅



  • What I do: VPS with reverse proxy and ssh reverse tunnels from the homelab.

    OG would be to understand IPv6 and use that directly. Depending on the services you plan to expose that could be a good way. Tried it some years ago, was hit and miss and I still don’t get my head around how v6 work…but that would be the most independent, standalone way.
