       If you don't have your own website, you're just living as a peasant on Reddit or Facebook or Twitter's virtual apartments. Get your own domain name and a VPS to host everything you need. The startup and maintenance costs are pocket change and you ...

       @luke Think as being a web peasant as an adult and you still don't have a bank account yet to pay for a VPS in order to become an Internet landlord and by the time the garbage communication websites like Slack, etc that you enjoy using that you end up having no use also, cannot do anything independently. 😏

       Sure it's better than nothing to have a website on a VPS, but then you are depending on a company to host your server, they control your data (well, you can encrypt the disk) and your traffic (with https that's kinda irrelevant). Better is to have a homelab. With a homelab i can have the storage i want, without having to pay absurd amounts for others to store my data.The 3.5$ you pay for VPS include what? maybe 1/2vCPUs, 1GB RAM, 50GB storage and maybe 1TB bandwidth. Sure with a VPS you don't have to worry about hardware downtime, but my server has 16 threads (amd ryzen 7 1700), 16GB RAM, 4TB disk space (besides the system NVME ssd 250GB) and unlimited 100mbps symmetric fiber internet and i pay like 10/20€ a month for electricity (i would have the same internet plan even if i didn't have the server so... that can be put asside, anyway 25€ for internet). Besides this, i can use the server inside my network at gigabit speeds (i'm thinking about upgrading to 10GbE, but, that is kinda expensive ) for disk share (like a NAS), when i'm playing on my laptop i just plug the ethernet cable and play games from the server (either just getting the data from disk or using the beefy GPU it has), the delay is barely noticeable.Anyway. I totally agree with you, we need to decentralize the internet, the internet as it is right now is propriety of a few companies, so lots of people get access to the internet, but no one have a piece of it just the big companies, which is a shame. But i kinda understand (from the view of the "normal user"), paying "nothing" (aka use facebook, reddit, whatever) is better than paying a few bucks for something you really own, in the end, it's basically the same, people don't care about privacy. The ISPs don't really help by having packages of internet that favour certain services in spite of other less known ones. A few days ago, some guy from the isp i have called me to check if i was interested in a mobile plan with 1000 minutes/sms for all networks and 20GB for just 9€ month, i said,  why not, but then he explained....BUT....  that 21GB is like 1GB for "normal" internet, 10GB for youtube and 10GB for facebook, IG and all that kind of junk... i was not sure how to answer to that atrocity ...

       I've got two websites - one for personal (blog posts, pictures, etc)  and one for professional (professional experience, academic experience, and resume). One is a .xyz and the other a .co domain.

       @luke į bought one 😀 but was not a good idea to transfer my Google domain to epik. They are taking an epik renewal 35$ as I paid only 10£ on Google.
