You could set up such things on your home computer, but I'd recommend
using a non-standard SSH port.  I've heard suggestions to disallow
root logins and disable passwords.. i.e. only allow a remote key.

You'd also be wise to invest in a good UPS for that computer.

But to be honest.. fair hosting service runs $10/mo.. and some have
posted even less.  I gave up on self-hosting a while back, and have
been happy with my stuff floating in the sky being served from some
other computer.

It's also kindof neat to be able to turn my computer off.  It's such a
novelty.  Like the one scene from 1984..
