Same here, Aussie Broadband too.

The infrastructure scale is not even in the same ballpark, or even neighbourhood.

Besides the fact that you can't just "make" internet from a coal/petrol/etc generator somewhere nearby.

Imagine a ship's anchor damaging a cable carrying a couple megawatts of power (this happens frequently to the undersea fibre optic cables, and even those are a nightmare to repair).

There's a subtle difference. One is designed to release that energy in a fraction of a second in a frangible metal casing, the other is designed to release it over a number of hours. Yes, batteries can go wrong, just like any tech, but comparing them to hand grenades is just ludicrous.

As far as I can tell, there's a fair bit of difference between "decreed a crime" and "we've backed up a truck to the DC, and physically seized your data, do as we say if want it back"

I use rclone serve for this task:

rclone serve http ./dir/or.file --addr :9000

File/s can be grabbed with curl/get etc or a browser

If you have muted yourself, the host has a button that says "ask to unmute".

Quickly unmute, then mute again.

From my experience, if you are unmuted, and the host mutes you, they can unmute you again. If you mute yourself, the host is unable to unmute you.

In that case, you'd understand the difficulties of providing a product or piece of software out of the box with valid certificates without user setup, as you've done (without running all user data through offsite servers).

I too have a working reverse proxy setup or few. I certainly don't expect something using a "localhost site" to come with valid certificates. Unless they somehow get a valid cert for https://localhost

Edit: apologies for the assumption, I didn't realise that you weren't the guy I originally replied to. I'm new around here.

And how is ubnt supposed to do that, on your own domain, as you've done? I suspect you don't really know how any of this works.

How does one have a valid TLS cert on a piece of software that uses a "localhost website"?
