When they first went to chromium it was decent. Then every update since they add more bloatware and popups saying to add their tracker so you can get discounts and shit.

Uninstalled windows and swapped to Firefox. Now I don’t deal with any of that

Yeah what you’re talking about is a DMZ, it still won’t help a ton if you don’t have strict firewall controls inside your network too.

I just use wireguard with firewall rules to restrict to just my server with my docker containers on it and my DNS

I still use a reverse proxy, but to get into my network you need to be on VPN. It’s more secure for me I guess.

I use traefik forward auth, even inside my network on VPN, for an extra layer of security for some apps.

My opinion is that port 443 getting accidentally misconfigured by me is just too likely a scenario. With wireguard on my router I also am able to restrict traffic to ONLY my webserver and DNS servers for my devices.

So I guess that’s another positive of wireguard, you can use your own DNS servers for all your phones all the time and always have ad blocking with pihole or something similar, even on mobile.

By using VPN I don’t have to worry about accidentally exposing a website with a copy paste error or something over my reverse proxy. I can also easily restrict who has access to my VPN and do routing rules from my router per device or subnet (for people who aren’t in my family I have a separate subnet I assign with more strict firewall rules)

I ended up buying one that flips around and can do A and C connections

If this server is publicly accessible and gets pwned, they can use it as a jump box for your internal devices.

Just close 443 and use VPN with ACME DNS challenges for your certs. That’ll help make it even more secure, nothing is full proof though and a VPN is a good first step

Only if you hook up a torrent client. There’s no requirement to do so

For jellyfin/Plex you can try downloading everything with lidarr

Its behind a paywall can you copy paste?

They aren’t worried about them. They are squeezing what they can out of the platform.

Iirc YouTube has a positive revenue now

Brave definitely feels like some sortve liability. I think it’s still owned by a Chinese company right?

These daily posts about user count wrapped in stupid memes are making me want to leave lol.

I love the concept of fediverse and lemmy, but why bother posting this stuff?

Been my daily driver for months. I love it. And with proton everything just works on steam for the most part

I wouldn’t say it’s super easy, but self hosting on a VPS is definitely possible

Runs on docker so it should run fine on your system

My work won’t allow thunderbird for o365. :(

How do I convince the security dudes to allow access to it?

Or you can whine enough that a politician embraces your viewpoint and try to get things on a silver platter while they print more debt

Good luck with them holding that up in court. Just do it on your own hardware and you’re good to go

Went for a 40 mile bike ride and a 10 mile walk. Cleaned my room, kissed my daughters good night. And yet I’m still here wondering wtf im doing

What’s the point? Now my room is clean… Why am I even still here?

I need to move out of this box of sardines but because of medical bills and house prices I can’t.

What is the point?

Sorry… You guys caught me on a very bad day mentally and I can’t even clean to get this shit out of my head.
