  0. Consider getting a VPS to play around with to learn how this stuff works before you expose your data to the internet.
  1. Learn about how DNS works. You will create an A record (and possibly also an AAAA recordy) for your domain pointing to your home IP (or VPS).
  2. If SquareSpace does not let you set records (and will only allow you to use Squarespace-hosted services) you will need to migrate your domain to another provider. I like gandi.net.
  3. Learn how your router does port forwarding. You will forward port(s) for the calendar service from your router to your home PC. (Or learn how to do firewalls on your VPS.)
  4. Before you actually connect to it with credentials over the internet, set up SSL/TLS certificates with LetsEncrypt.

  The cabin is already on fire in panel 4. It is clear what happened. Then the words explain the joke.

  As per usual, Randall keeps going after the punchline was already delivered, ruining the comic.

  I use tmux or screen, and set the status bar in different remotes to different colors.

  Lots of things seem like they would work until you try them.
