tl;dr:

  - Don't depend on other people's software services.
  - Buy a domain and host your own website.
  - Don't pick a sketchy TLD or registrar.
  - Mailing lists beat social media accounts.
  - It's okay to depend on a cloud.
I had the belief that the article was going to say the exact opposite wrt. cloud hosting. You're literally renting space, and if your stuff gets any heat, your cloud provider may simply shut you down without a trial.

Even if you host your own server on your own legal property, most people don't have AS-numbers and peering agreements, so ultimately on the internet most people rent something.

A homelab with an useable uplink can be sufficient for many services like blog,DNS, mail. I have 3 Lenovo ThinkCentre Mini PCs running Proxmox VE in HA mode off my basement. Picture at https://devops.science/
