Back in 2009, anynone with a Nokia could have a personal website running on their own phone. Sadly this amazing piece of tech was never widely adopted. Today’s phone are far more powerful than those Nokias both in performance and battery backup and still we don’t see anyone running a server on their phone. Why? I think this was never implemented on phones because there’s no incentive for large corporations to work on something like this.

    Having my phone not be able to do something I want it to do is my problem.

    Sometimes you need to protect people from themselves.

    That’s why you have it turned off by default.

    And how do you feel about your site visitors not being able to hit your page when your local network is overloaded?

    Compared to how it is right now, when I can’t run a site on my phone at all? It would be a significant improvement.

      I meant, it’s arguable that if people use this feature and expose themselves, that’s their own fault. I’m not sure what you thought I meant.

      It’s off by default, but still there for uneducated and unskilled people to turn on and leave themselves exposed.

      … significant improvement

      Vs just paying a few bucks for linode that’s got multiple 9s of uptime? It doesn’t seem worth it.
