This is something I’ve been thinking abt for a while but haven’t started mainly for security concerns of self-hosting. Any good recs for places to host your own site? As a dev it feels like you either expose your network to the world or tunnel through one of the cloud monopolies and neither feels ok

“Those doing so need to enter all of the variations of their site, including “www and non-www, http and https, and subdomains.””

This opt out process feels like they had a meeting on how to explicitly discourage people from opting out like I know that’s common but this is especially atrocious
