        Same with the HP mini PC. But I have a $12/yr dotcom domain and a script on my server updates the DNS record anytime the IP changes.

      This is the way. I would be lost without a domain. Even mail is selfhosted with my domain. But I only use subdomains, the real domain is abandoned.

        See email is one of the few things I don't host. I host a webmail frontend, and use my domain. But PurelyMail is an amazing service that's so cheap it's basically free at personal scale with very few limits. I didn't really care to try and deal with having all my mail sent to spam.

          I just use stalwart - mail, it's just one docker container, has bleeding edge functions like jmap and there is no need of deeper knowledge. I refer my domain on the settings and got a list of all needed dns-records.

          It takes 2-4 days to get SSL and dmarc answers from the big mail-players and if there is nothing wrong with your IP or your records then there is no mail going into spam of someone else.

    More like "Dammit, my domain auto-remewed again. Oh well, it's only $12. I'll cancel next year." (It's been 5 years.)

    CatBagz.com is in this photograph and I don't like it.

    What, no one really wants to purchase cat faced bags from a guy on the internet that doesn't like cats all that much and doesn't use bags all that much and can't social media and mostly just wants to stop being a fucking company shill but no I'm so fucking good at it that's my job and my life forever.

    Fuck you, dreams. I'm taking cat bags to my fucking grave.

    At least my red bubble stickers sell.

    Wanted to start a blog about my weight loss journey. Lost the weight and never started the blog. Still paying for the domain 7 years later.

    Only thing left to do is gain the weight back so I can try again!

    On one hand I have my personal firstname-lastname-dot-com I'm still hosting for years. I'm not a webdev but WordPress is awfully bloated and everything else needs a touch of webdev skills.

    So it's been at "coming soon I'm working on it welcome to sample example theme page" for years, but hey it's indexing well based on age alone!

    The other is a fun clever one I route through cloudflare to access all my home server stuff via HTTPS over TailScale. Never have to expose any ports to the big scary world wide web. :p

    I was tempted to get a domain tie it to a docker image on azure then host a private (just me) Lemmy /(m)/kbin with a few other fediverse (like friendica) on it but I'm just too broke at the moment
