I’m just using .home.arpa for my self hosted stuff. Free, just have to deal with TLS root cert trust, but once that’s down; you’re golden.

.internal works fine now.

Both of these are meant for operating a home/private network.

.self seems to be geared towards a 'accessible from the everyday net' kind of approach.

Right.

I just use .home, yeah I know it's not reserved but idgaf I'm not writing .arpa.
