Nice website that focuses on the simple basics of setting up one's own infrastructure, like it was back in the '90s.

Disagree with the "land ownership" portion of the title as it will be obvious to anybody following the tutorials that they don't own their web server or their domain name.

In some countries (e.g. Singapore, China, Israel), when you buy a house, on paper you get something like a 99-year renewable lease on land — different from a domain name in scale, but not so much in substance.

So I guess the aptness of the analogy is unevenly distributed geographically. :)

Note that there is a section about self hosting: https://landchad.net/selfhosting/

Still subject to ISP whims, and still just renting the domain name

And renting the Internet access.
