I don't have a VPS, I have a mini server in my house. I run bunch of publicly available services on it.

I might be stupid but I thought normal consumer internet didn't expose stable IP addresses?

never mind, ddns. huh.

Or cloudflare tunnels are even more effective for this

A surprisingly large number do, at least in america. They're not guaranteed to be stable, i.e. you don't "own" the IP but in practice I've found that buying a relatively high tier internet plan tends to come with IPs that change less than once a year.

This is probably considerably less true in countries with a smaller ip to population ratio e.g. india.

you have to read between the lines.

the complaint is the communication, not the literal words. because the title conflicts with itself, it causes confusion.

for example, saying, "come join us. I'm hosting a dinner party. It's at this restaurant," would be similar.

It's an interesting example because I think it proves the opposite point. There are places, large dense cities, where most people live in tiny apartments, and if you're having a dinner party it's not going to be inside a house.

It's perfectly reasonable and understandable to say you're hosting the party even if you don't own the physical location (see also: weddings)
