I've been doing this for severl years without any issues. Currently chugging along in a docker instance on my headless linux server, and I've found it runs well on most any OS.

I heard about that one, very interesting guy. I'm not sure if I could get away with something like that in Texas. The state likes to say its pro business and free, but reality says otherwise.

We're about to get out of here permanently anyway and move west towards even less internet access in an even more rural area. I may have to start looking into IPoAC next!

Yeah it's nuts. Where i came from we had a couple of broadband options but in this place its like an information desert. The house didn't even have the connection when we first arrived, it cost about $400 for the DSL install.

"Rural" Texas (about an hour from a big city) and the only thing we have available is ADSL at 10/1 mbps on a good day. I'm paying $65 and as long as we don't stram 2 things at once it works!

Don't feel too bad, at least you have some bandwith. ADSL (10/1 mbps) is the only thing available in my part of rural Texas, besides satellite 🤮, and I'm paying $65/month
