    1. Consider getting a VPS to play around with to learn how this stuff works before you expose your data to the internet.
    2. Learn about how DNS works. You will create an A record (and possibly also an AAAA recordy) for your domain pointing to your home IP (or VPS).
    3. If SquareSpace does not let you set records (and will only allow you to use Squarespace-hosted services) you will need to migrate your domain to another provider. I like gandi.net.
    4. Learn how your router does port forwarding. You will forward port(s) for the calendar service from your router to your home PC. (Or learn how to do firewalls on your VPS.)
    5. Before you actually connect to it with credentials over the internet, set up SSL/TLS certificates with LetsEncrypt.

    Once it was brought to their attention, they had two options: they could stick with the name that they now know is derogatory and hurtful (and prevents it from being installed in some places) or they could change it.

    This is not an isolated problem in the FOSS community. I was trying to roll out Linux VMs in an organizations, and I got called into a meeting because gigolo popped up a message and the user was confused and upset. Yes, it is a funny pun (it mounts what it is told to), but it ruined Linux for that organization and they went with Windows.
