I'm thinking of hosting a website from it

Great way to have your entire LAN rooted. Recommend this 10/10.

Sorry if i'm being ignorant but i didn't really understand. Could you elaborate?

It's just a bad idea to host any kind of "active"(?) service on your local network. Even worse if you expose it to the public.
If you can get it online without connecting it to your home network, you could setup a honeypot on it and check it frequently for some any goodies.
If desired, you could even do something more frisky, such as hosting an anonymous ngircd service, or an XMPP service. God knows we need an even bigger abundance of those.

Asterisk? Nice. I've always wanted to try a pbx with a spare machine. You have to show me it.

LXC and Build a PBX
Build a PBX within an LXC machine ooh. Seriously though Asterisk is super fun and not just because touchtones turn me on.

Malware test unit. That's what I would do with it.

good idea.

What I would give to go back to the days of phreaking.

Yes, the good old days of free calls and manipulating the phone system to It's finest.

How I'd love to relive that.

where the name comes from . Anyways I think there is like an asterisk setup that simulates the old lines and allows you to actually phreak the pbx with the right tones.

In the event that your website hosted on your computer connected to your LAN gets hacked, anyone who knows what they're doing would not stop at that computer. They will scan for other devices on your network, and they will succeed in hacking them.

Oh, thanks for the heads up my man. I understand the risks, but was thinking of this as a cheaper alternative. Maybe i won't end up using it for hosting a website, maybe just for private game servers.
