In the recent years, I discovered the joys of self hosting. What started with a single Plex server for my movie collection became a growing suite of open source applications that became my own personal cloud.
At the same time, I quickly ran into several of the limitations involved, ip addresses fluctuation, limited up speed on residential internet, electricity problems, you name it.
I didn't want to pay the crazy prices required for a dedicated server on AWS, and my storage needs were much greater that I was willing to pay for.
So I started a local business that allows you to run your own mac mini and access it with a dedicated ip for whatever purpose you would like: https://www.minimahost.com/
I'm hoping that over time I can grow it to a point that it could replace my software day job.
Oh, and I am about 3 years into an online mobile battle game. Hoping to publish in the next year or so.
