Times are changing! Remember when it was easy to set up WiFi, but difficult to call your doctor and get an appointment?

Now my friends don't have trouble calling doctors, but can't set up port forwarding (not like any games require it anymore).

In the US, my experience is that it's more difficult than ever to get an appointment with a doctor.

Local minecraft server definitely requires port forwarding at the router... as I've learned to my chagrin that Starlink doesn't support port forwarding... Goodbye self hosted minecraft. Did it for nearly a decade and cannot anymore.

>can't set up port forwarding

After October 2026, nobody should be port-forwarding IMHO.

I am next to learn about the "tailscale options" of this new world.

Wish us all luck.
