But that’s nothing to do with self-hosting from home; that’s just regular hosting with mirroring (which is generally a good practice anyway, and nigh-ubiquitous among users of static site generators), or with the machines-as-cattle philosophy (as distinct from machines-as-pets).


True, I was just trying to point out that running your own independent website is possible even if your home situation makes it unrealistic. I think the "indie web" is important, and nobody who is interested should be discouraged if they can't host at home. There are ways to do it even if you have terrible internet service or a very restrictive ISP.
