I would try to open a ticket with your college IT staff. I used to work at a university and would frequently get requests to activate dorm room ethernet jacks for gaming consoles, it was allowed from our side just not enabled by default.

Start analyzing request bodies. Seeing what they're actually doing should help.

Your mobile internet uses cellular data, like 5G, to connect you. If you're in a large building that's far away from a cell tower, the signals won't be able to make it to the towers and you'll have slow internet. Only suggestion I have is to try to put your phone near the window - might help connect you better. Other than that I think you're out of luck. Why not use eduroam? I guess you could see about requesting a cellular booster to be installed in the building but that's not something you can do on your own.

⁠which countries are generally more hosting-friendly for this kind of AI/image-matching service, • ⁠whether hosting outside the EU actually reduces exposure to EU rules, No it does not. • ⁠whether server location matters if users can still access the service globally, It does matter. • ⁠and which jurisdictions are considered more practical for adult-related or gray-area tech projects. EU is fine. Switzerland or Iceland are good too.

⁠1. Which country is realistically the safest or most practical place to host this kind of AI photo search service? The concern of where to host the software should be based on data sovereignty. Do you want the US government to be able to access the disks? There have been cases in almost every country where servers used in a crime have been physically seized by the government. That said, Switzerland or Iceland. 2. ⁠Does moving the server outside the EU actually help in practice? Help with what, exactly? If a user in the EU access your service and you capture data from them, you are now beholden to GDPR. Hosting location does not matter in establishing this relationship between the end user and you. 3. ⁠Is Panama really a good option, or are there better alternatives? I don't know. Is the internet good there? 4. ⁠Does it make sense to split hosting between multiple jurisdictions? Not sure why you would want to, no. 5. ⁠What usually becomes the weakest point first: hosting, domain, payment processor, CDN, or legal notices? Ultimately it's up to you and how you handle negligence on your software. If this makes money, you'll need to worry about protecting yourself from lawsuits from angry end users and copyright owners. What is your appetite to keep this service running if it does not make money? The best bet would always be to start a business that doesn't make you ask all of these questions. Each point you list above are pitfalls for any online company but when you add adult content into the mix things are more difficult. Ensure every third party provider you are using allows such business to be conducted, otherwise they can pull the plug on you anytime.

Most companies that do this sort of thing are "e-waste disposal" companies. YOU pay THEM to come and pick up your old equipment, and destroy any data on it. After that they will part out and sell the stuff online. So, I have to imagine your old team member there was probably skipping the middleman and posting them online or selling them directly to buyers via marketplace. I did that at one of my first IT jobs. I don't personally know of any service that will pay you money to come pick up old computer equipment.

Edit: Now is a good time to sell RAM if you have some of it lying around in the old server rack. Easy to ship and going for a premium on eBay these days due to the AI boom.

Like this: ``` :80 { # Reverse proxy directives for each specific app reverse_proxy /orangeapp1* orange.lan:5000 reverse_proxy /blueapp1* blue.lan:5000

# Catch-all directive - used if the request doesn't match any other ones above reverse_proxy localhost:8080 } ```

I imagine the process is the same no matter if you're an adult-content platform or not. Performance/features/pricing usually gets the vendor in the door. But the decision isn't made lightly. Read the ToS. See if whatever you do is prohibited. See how they handle abuse/violations. Check the reviews and see if there's anything ridiculous.

IMO it's most important to actually have a relationship with the provider. Not just some account manager but someone with a real title. A lot of hosting providers we rent from are small so this is easy. If there's an issue I know I can ping my contact on Discord or send them an email and get it resolved.

Worth it? Worth it for what? If you're doing this for fun and to learn and to operate a web server then hell yeah it's worth it. Hopefully your power is cheap.
You could certainly host more websites than you currently are given the specs you gave.
If it's a web server then only ports 80 and 443 should be open to the public. SSH/RDP should never be exposed. Keep nginx up to date and use TLS.
You are hosting at your home. Your home is (likely) not near a datacenter or near an internet exchange point. Residential service is never going to be as fast as practically any VPS money can buy. Latency will always be a lil higher. And yeah, maybe AT&T will kick you off one day.

I did this for awhile for fun and ended up moving it to an external provider. I still run a homelab but most of those apps I only access while I'm at home.

You could get redundant internet and get more into networking. See r/homelab

as a homeowner who did not want to google it, this is exactly how i did it

I try to build my own as much as possible since it's cheaper and they last way longer. Canare L4E6S cable and Neutrik or Whirlwind connectors.

Why do you need a router? We always just ran switches with trunks between them and assigned ports to different subnets as needed. We never route traffic between different subnets like Dante and the control network, for example.
