      No, the cost cost goes up sharply.

      Phase Hobby Cost
      1 Crochet $100
      2 3d Printer $250
      3 Soldering station $400
      4 Homelab $1000
      5 custom eBike, LLC, self-hosted website 6 - 10k
      6 Paramotor $22k + $1.5k/yr

      The deeper you get into engineering, weather, networking, software dev, academia the more your hobbies cost. This is also ignoring the cost of acquiring all that knowledge first (at least $100k at a state school).

        At this point I have to ask if you’re doing a hobby or starting a business, because these are not the same thing.

        Self-hosted website looks too expensive, unless you paid someone to make it. I host FoundryVTT for my group, and the only paid thing was Foundry itself and my internet-connected PC I already had.

        Public IP? No need to pay extra. DuckDNS when you’re not behind CG-NAT or Cloudflare ZeroTrust reverse proxy when you do or have no access to your router.
        Domain? I’ve seen at least two sites that provide them for free - digitalplat and the other I can’t remember.
