Do you publish any such items on platforms you don't own (you specifically said you "have no intention of... hosting anything")?

I haven't in a very long time, over a decade at this point.

A few friends and I have a small handful of self-hosted services that we all run on a VPN between our places with stuff like a recipe sharing app, etc., but the number of people with access to that is single digits.

In terms of "hosting anything," I still have my own homelab, and my self-hosting will be limited to this sort of stuff for the foreseeable. A cluster of limited-scope apps that helps me and a handful of friends keep in touch after moving out of our hometown, beyond just chatting in Signal groups.

I won't be putting up my own public website (or portfolio, or whatever; be it hosted on my own infra or not).
