You should look into self hosting

Sue Fredy for not giving you a files.perpheads account like the rest of us.

I think hes probably offered me about 1000 times I just refused to change haha

I bought an orangepi 3b with m.2 slot and host files.tymon007.xyz using xbackbone.

i can surely say its convenient and fun, but i do have to say that its not 2 clicks easy and i do have years of IT experience. You can definately do that though if you follow some instructions guide. I buy my domains on porkbun.com as they have dirt cheap xyz domains and .com are affordable too there.

Porkbun is a great registrar and welcome to the xbackbone GANG

you need to have a bank card on file (something about stopping alt accounts)

this is actually so they can give you Always Free Resources and charge you when you exceed those Always Free Resources limits

i plan to use oracle cloud to host a 24/7 minecraft server but i might do some more with it, seems really nice

i would use my old pc that has a 5800x and 3060 but id rather sell that considering thats 9000% overkill for any selfhosting project

Just buy a bunch of old HP EliteDesks, install Proxmox and spin up VMs like there is no tomorrow.

Spoiler: Proxmox

Runs a Plex server, trunks my landline number, monitors my pager's frequency, controls most of my home lighting, a DNS server for network-wide adblocking and runs a whole lot of random websites (all limited to node 2 which has some extra security pre-cautions.)

The 5 of them on a pile are upgraded to 16GBs of memory (DDR3) and have a Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4570S CPU @ 2.90GHz for a processor.

If you want to be able to handle larger workloads (like I do for my Plex server), I run that on the ProDesk which has a Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6500 CPU @ 3.20GHz processor.

There's a lot of different variants out there, so I recommend checking up the specs in the eBay (or local alternative) listings.

Jellyseerr is the best part for me. My friend lets me use his, but it has completely changed my life in terms of quick & accessible entertainment. If my friend ever shuts it down I will definitely be replicating it. For my images I pay like 45 or so a year for a website, have it linked to CloudFlare, and then use my friends github setup to self host alongside ShareX. Love all of it

I found a lot of 3 with no WLAN card for ~120$ USD on eBay, really good deal but I'm afraid I would need WLAN considering my access points don't have enough ethernet ports

That's what switches are for my friend ;-)

You can get a 5-port gigabit switch for like 10 or 20 euros these days.
