  Raid5 of three disks and keep the fourth as cold spare. That’s 16TB instead of 24, but you’re barely using your current 8, so a spare makes more sense.

  My homeserver runs Debian with Freedombox, and I’m using their GnuDIP ddns service, but it’s for free subdomains, not your own.

  I used to have a script to update my own domain in Gandi console. I only stopped because I didn’t really need a domain for my home.

  It’s good for email and personal sites (those aren’t dead, but they’re more popular for people that either write a lot or are self-employed). I’d only use a personal domain for self hosted apps if the users are just you and your family.

  For something like hosting Lemmy, with users you don’t know, I wouldn’t use the same domain as where you host your other personal stuff, even if it’s not your name.

  There are multiple of us! I did the exact same thing, except for using my own name. Mine ends in .re of Réunion. I think it’s fun so I’m keeping it.

  For sharing it offline I have a big text widget on my phone. They usually get it if they can read it, but not if I spell it out.

  I tried it. If I count everything I pay periodically (more bills than subscriptions) I get to 13 things, and the monthly total was slightly higher than I thought due to yearly stuff like school.

  Maybe it’s just not for me. I’m not to big on budgeting (I only really budget things that don’t fit in last month’s wage) . Used to do YNAB for about two years (the offline version you could buy on Steam) a lot of work for no benefit.

  Even if you do properly budget, I don’t see the value of this over using a spreadsheet.
