self-hosting a website on a server from craigslist in the basement is still kind of magic to me
I can make some html, put it on the server, wire it up to a domain, share the link around the internet in various corners, and people from all over the world can interact with the basement website
without even knowing its origins
publishing websites like that still feels sort of like a hand-held pirate broadcast, although the internet in general can often feel like a widespread garbage fire
@notplants I need to use a VPS instead of a basement PC, but the feeling is similar, I have a webpage that the whole world can see
