    I think you wonder whether your PC can be connected directly to the internet. Yes, like every server, router, firewall, technically you can. You would need to set up your connection completely manually, as there is no one doing that for you.

    However, connecting millions of people is an epic task in itself. You would need at least as many public IP addresses as consumers have devices, and find a way to drag ethernet cables over enormous distances… while these won’t exceed about iirc 120m until signal loss is killing the connection. Then you would need all those consumers to have intricate network knowledge too.

    Hence why we’re modems that can use long distance connections (like DSL over phone lines), that can arrange internal network connectivity without you having any knowledge, and apply internal IP space instead of public. Also your ISP can apply efficient internal routing and even internal IP space to save on rare and expensive public space.

    There is much more to this, but I wanted to keep it ELI5. HTH!


  • I agree, I am scared shitless of wasps, but I’ve started looking at them and now I can a) see whether it actually is a wasp, not a funky bee or smart fly, that helps. Then indeed, leave them to their business and they will generally leave you aline as well. It’s also important which phase of their life it is, they generally get more aggressive later in the year.
    Still am scared shitless but I love them too <3
