why isn't "dns but for physical mail" a thing
let people register names (first come first serve, lasts for the lifetime of the registrant + 5 years) where anything sent to that gets forwarded to your physical address without anyone knowing said address.
@astraluma @00dani I looked it up and apparently this is a thing in the UK and probably elsewhere, you can have PO boxes that forward to your address?
https://www.royalmail.com/receiving/po-box see "PO Box Prices" "PO Box Deliver"
it's also 36 pounds a month, so that's a bit much for the average person.
@5225225 like a P.O. box almost?
@TransTechie only as a forwarding service and not terribly expensive and instead be the standard way to contact people, yeah.
@5225225 ahh okay. I don't know pricing for your area. They are not that bad where I am admittedly, but not saying much there
@5225225 Patio11 had a thread about a Japanese company implementing this:
@5225225 like a PO box without a zip code?
@5225225 basically that's what p.o. boxes are for
