    i just installed debian in an old laptop and paid google for a domain for $1 a month ($12/year).

    doing it primarily because it seems like a cool thing to mess with and i’ve already learned cool things like DDNS and how to establish free https certificates via “let’s encrypt”. it’s pretty enlightening.

      Does Google do some kind of reverse proxy, or are you not worried about your IP being fairly public? I’m interested in doing something similar and hosting at home, but am concerned about having my IP be so public. Obviously lemmy.world knows it, but that still seems better then any random troll knowing it.
