Now that I'm self-hosting this site and the associated infrastructure, the public facing part of the site (where you're reading this) is served via a boring old Linux/Apache/PHP stack. Which means I had to write an .htaccess file.

When Self–Hosting Fails: The Night My Blog Vanished
(bytedrum.com)
It was 1:09 AM on a quiet Friday night when my digital world went dark. In an instant, my carefully crafted blog and homelab setup vanished from the internet, leaving me feeling like I’d built a high–tech sandcastle only to watch the tide wash it away. The culprit? Not a sophisticated cyber attack or a critical bug in my code1, but something far more mundane and frustratingly out of my control: an unannounced ISP outage.

Commercial Opportunities in a Renaissance of Self-Hosting
(johnys.io)
The accessibility, performance, and cost-effectiveness of self-hosting today are fascinating. You can buy commodity hardware at one-tenth the annual cost of renting it on Amazon Web Services, connect it smoothly to the public internet behind a residential IP with Cloudflare Tunnels or Tailscale, and seamlessly deploy with a host of solutions from a mature Docker ecosystem to DHH’s Kamal. For a total cost of several hundred dollars, I now have about $15,000 of annual AWS compute running in my basement.
