Ok, I'll share the ultimate guerilla-selfhosting challenge I can't figure out yet: what if my internet connection is G5 prepaid sim card in the middle of the woods (it actually is)? Apparently, I do have IPv6 more or less stable (undocumented), but that's kind of limiting at times. Seems barely possible, but!

The https://homebrewserver.club/low-tech-website-howto.html#network states:

The fiber connection itself is not necessary, especially if you keep your data footprint small, but a fixed IP adress is very handy.

which kind of implies someone figured out a way to get around it. Would someone share the trick?
