In my experience (in Germany and Switzerland) ISPs don’t care, but they will rotate everybody’s IP once or twice a year.
Friends from other countries, India for example, have had different experiences though, where IPs were on a much more frequent rotation and required scripted solutions.
You have the power to not host your own infrastructure on aws and behind cloudflare, or in the case of an employer you have the power to fight against the voices arguing for the unsustainable status quo.
If you need DDoS mitigation then you essentially need to rely on a third party. Every third party will have inevitable downtime. For many it’s just whether you’d prefer to be down while everyone else is down or not.
Working on a charity + website (not live yet) that allows you to centrally manage your charity donations.
I'm in Germany so I'm working on a Germany-specific solution for now.
- you choose from a list of charities (right now I'm working with the list from the https://dzi.de plus a few such as Wikimedia Deutschland)
- you setup a recurring donation to our bank account
- we redistribute the money according to your split
- no spam in your email and snail mail
- one pdf at the end of the year for your tax returns
I'm not planning on taking any cut of the donations obviously, so this will be a fully self-funded project at first, but I'll reach-out to foundations once I'm up and running.
Are you experiencing the HN hug of death or is your website down? Either way I'm super interested in what you're building and I'd love to use it but I cannot reach your link at the moment. Good luck with the endeavor either way and thank you for building this.
