The old internet died and we watched and did nothing

I don't fully understand what you mean by your first few sentences. You could use some dynamic DNS service for your domain, or host your own on the lowest end VPS and point that to your own connection, if it is reasonably fast, and then have some cheap and energy efficient SBC/NAS running some Linux serve your content with something like [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caddy_(web_server) or whatever else works for you.

That doesn't cost me more than about 35 €uros per month (of which i have to pay 29,99 anyways for my line) and maybe 3 to 4 €uros energy (which is expensive where i live). While having 31Mbit/s upstream, which is the bandwith the external internet sees and could use. I don't need the scale the FAANGS have, do you really?

I host my stuff more or less like you (also caddy, and docker automatically served by caddy).

Internet is 49€, could be 30 but when I got fiber I gifted myself the max throughput because I could :)

Domain is 2x8€/year

Server was 600€ bought a few years ago.

Power I do not know, never cared to measure but it will be 200€/y, roughly.

So this is not that an expensive hobby.

Then of course comes the maintenance effort, but that part is pure joy
