      A single domain helps so much, regardless of what you have planned. I basically use mine just as bookmarks. There’s a dedicated subdomain for dynamic DNS. I make use of SRV records. Costs me like 6 bucks a year. You don’t need huge ambitions or dreams for a domain name to make sense.

        It’s just a joke reference to some people who hold onto a domain specifically for their pet project that they aren’t actively pursuing. I’m sure it doesn’t apply to everyone

          My longest “I’ll use that domain soon” was 1 1/2 years. I’m a lightweight.

        I got my username because it was about £11 for 2 years, and by buying it through cloudflare I get tones of ways to access the stuff I self host.

        At some point I plan on setting up a personal website.
