Is it just you that needs access? VPN like Tailscale or Wireguard is the most secure option then, as it’s not exposing any services to the internet.

Otherwise a reverse proxy in front of things like Traefik or Nginx, make sure things are automatically updated ASAP, and make sure auth is enabled on the services.

Hibernate is even better with a fast SSD.

Panasonic provides the software for free for their cameras. Still only 720p but at least you’re not paying for it.

Generally no with a reputable email host.

Yep, you can register a domain through a company like namecheap or cloudflare. It’s about $10 a year.

Then you just need an email service that supports custom domains, mailbox.org is a good one. Change your DNS records on your domain control panel to point to the servers given to you by your email service, and that’s it.

Yes, but it also makes the experience worse for people that aren’t invested in the ecosystem because of privacy or similar reasons.

If I’m using an app that allows quotes, but my friend isn’t and wants to quote a post, they’re going to be annoyed.

Neat bit of work finding the issue.

What’s the advantage of static container IPs? I’ve never thought about that in all my time using docker.

Their keyboards are a great example, they’re often worse build quality with far less noise damping than one that’s half the price from some random keyboard company.

With several comments now showing surprise about this, is sleep mode or hibernation not common knowledge?? Windows and every Linux distro I’ve tried has sleep mode enabled by default.

Most people use sleep or hibernate, still uses very little power (none in hibernate) but you don’t have to open all your stuff every time.

Veeam endpoint free version is nice because it doesn’t require a reboot.

I can’t automate full disk backups as I can’t run dd reliably from a system that is itself already running.

Can’t you do a snapshot like VSS does on windows and back that up on a running system? I assume with a filesystem that supports snapshots that would be possible.

Feedly does a great job of that.

Email is already federated and can be end to end encrypted with various methods.

Since you’re using a non-standard HTTPS port, check your browser network log in dev tools and make sure your app isn’t redirecting you to the standard port 443. With non-standard ports you often will need to customize the config of apps so they know what you’re using.

It really is an excuse for games to have crappy performance all too often.

Maybe your ISP has you on CGNAT? If your public IP is between 100.64.0.0 and 100.127.255.255 you’re on CGNAT.

Yeah I get them confused constantly hah.

At least with your own domain name and IMAP, changing email providers is pretty quick and easy.

I just do what is easy for me, some things are not worth the hassle of switching to a privacy focused alternative.

For example replacing google drive with Syncthing was really easy for my use cases. Gmail was easy with my own domain and a good email service.

Other things like facebook/reddit, banking, telegram, discord, etc… I don’t worry about it because the hassle factor is extreme.

Woops I think I was thinking of mailbox.org who does support domains.
