This chapter delves into the practice of buying and holding domain names as online real estate, discussing tactics for selling domains, fees involved, and the importance of securing domains to avoid squatting. The hosts also touch on their hopeful sponsorship from dot tech and mention a specific domain. Additionally, they introduce Image Proxy, an open source image processing tool, discussing its paid version with enhanced features and its ability to resize images based on desired sizes. They highlight the benefits of self-hosting and the availability of both cloud and self-hosted versions of Image Proxy.
