It’s good for email and personal sites (those aren’t dead, but they’re more popular for people that either write a lot or are self-employed). I’d only use a personal domain for self hosted apps if the users are just you and your family.
For something like hosting Lemmy, with users you don’t know, I wouldn’t use the same domain as where you host your other personal stuff, even if it’s not your name.
There are multiple of us! I did the exact same thing, except for using my own name. Mine ends in .re of Réunion. I think it’s fun so I’m keeping it.
For sharing it offline I have a big text widget on my phone. They usually get it if they can read it, but not if I spell it out.
I tried it. If I count everything I pay periodically (more bills than subscriptions) I get to 13 things, and the monthly total was slightly higher than I thought due to yearly stuff like school.
Maybe it’s just not for me. I’m not big on budgeting (I only really budget things that don’t fit in last month’s wage) . Used to do YNAB for about two years (the offline version you could buy on Steam) a lot of work for no benefit.
Even if you do properly budget, I don’t see the value of this over using a spreadsheet.

My homeserver runs Debian with Freedombox, and I’m using their GnuDIP ddns service, but it’s for free subdomains, not your own.
I used to have a script to update my own domain in Gandi console. I only stopped because I didn’t really need a domain for my home.
