I think the nuance here is that lacking a house doesn’t mean you’re lacking a home. A home is a much more complicated idea that involves family or community for many people, whereas a house is just a thing by contrast.

That said, my understanding is that most people find the terms roughly equivalent, and I’ve never been either, so I might be misunderstand it.

In addition to the UI others have mentioned, I host mine behind a VPN so all my friends can use it over the Internet, too. It gets a decent amount of traffic every week.
