Do you still host things? If so, do you host from home and how?

I had a lot of hobby projects. Some home automation. Some would scrape websites for archival purposes. Maybe a seedbox and an arr-stack. Total monthly cost of a bit over €60 for all of them. Didn't really add anything to my life and the upkeep took about an hour every month, even with auto-updating as much as possible, sometimes things broke or required manual updating (+migration).

None of them were open to the public, I SSH-tunnel into them. All stuff just for myself.

I backed everything up locally and shut them down. They should be auto-removed at the next billing cycle.
