A personal datacenter with 3-digit terabytes of storage, terabytes of RAM, and 3-digit CPUs. Unless I win the lottery (and the safe withdraw rate on these investments are high enough), I won't be getting any of this.
I've been getting by with Ionos, as a Filipino user with a VPS in America. The support was helpful when I had cloud panel issues the first month, but again your mileage may vary.
It's not perfect, but for me, it's good enough.
Try out open-source games too, not just the big corporate games. Space Station 14, OpenTTD, Endless Sky, Naev, plenty of choices. Saw someone here rant about how the "videogames industry has become very rotten" and decided I'd point you to a non-rotten part of it.
- Endless Sky -- open-source space game. I actually contributed to it back in the day; a date format option and a full-blown storyline about an author. Unfortunately the storyline is in development hell cause I lost motivation to work on it.
- OpenTTD -- really awesome, with NewGRFs and mods you can have a somewhat "realistic" rail experience (as in, using actual real-life trains. Obviously a pixel game isn't the most "realistic" with graphics)
- Mindustry
- Pioneer Space Sim
I don't have anything hosted just yet, but when I do, I'll look into a reverse proxy
And I don't check my email every single day. Scary.
Nitter ended up getting their domain back though.. However, the good ending doesn't always happen.
Thankfully I don't have anything "controversial" on my website.
That's crazy. 90% of views from a single person. How often does this happen usually?
Just basic information about myself and maybe a thing or two I've done on the Internet.
Someday if I get the time or the server resources, I'd add subdomains to it to host other stuff, for example "lemmy.example.com", while "example.com" would just be the basic information, and probably a directory to all the other subdomain stuff.
Okay, doing more research; I now understand what the unintended consequences of the question were, so thank you for the explanation.
I understand why you feel that they are "phishing questions", but:
- The question was using Katrina as an example to further convey what it was that I was asking about.
- Someone replying to the question could have not provided a name at all; only their feeling about having the same name.
- With eight billion people on Earth, there are bound to be hundreds of thousands of people with that name, making any form of tracing highly difficult and impractical.
Actually, you need to go build a time travel machine and recreate the Internet and all its infastructure from scratch if you want to have true ownership of your domain. Or you know, just reinvent the Internet in a premodern society or something, idk.

My reddit username is tied to multiple embarassing things I did when I was a lot more immature, during my early 10s, and now that I'm in my late 10s, I'd rather not have my embarassing 2018 things affect my 2025 things.
