Being good at science has led to having an expensive hobby... in my case anyway haha

    Yeah, I've got many expensive hobbies now. It's a bit cheaper if you can do it all yourself/make your own equipment

    No, the cost cost goes up sharply.

    Phase Hobby Cost
    1 Crochet $100
    2 3d Printer $250
    3 Soldering station $400
    4 Homelab $1000
    5 custom eBike, LLC, self-hosted website 6 - 10k
    6 Paramotor $22k + $1.5k/yr

    The deeper you get into engineering, weather, networking, software dev, academia the more your hobbies cost. This is also ignoring the cost of acquiring all that knowledge first (at least $100k at a state school).

    Self-hosted website looks too expensive, unless you paid someone to make it. I host FoundryVTT for my group, and the only paid thing was Foundry itself and my internet-connected PC I already had.

    Public IP? No need to pay extra. DuckDNS when you're not behind CG-NAT or Cloudflare ZeroTrust reverse proxy when you do or have no access to your router.
    Domain? I've seen at least two sites that provide them for free - digitalplat and the other I can't remember.
