I don’t see how. Unless it has, like, 20 predefined stored ads. But even then it might be refreshing in 20 years to see a commercial for Kia. Be like, “Oh yeah! I remember Kia! Man, crazy how long it’s been since Kia’s have been around. Such a bad car.”

Are you old enough to remember how Windows was? In the good old days of 95, 98, or XP?

Linux is kinda like that. Except way more capable.

Woo!

I do. My gaming PC is also my most capable server.

Project zomboid Boltgun Civ6

ProtonMail. 100%.

I set up custom DNS and catchall so [email protected] is really how I filter spam.

Please note, saltycowboy.org isn’t really my domain.

1. Debian, unless I’m doing something specific like Home Assistant OS
2. Yeah, usually. The GUI uses so much system resources just to sit there and be unused. That said I do have a Windows VM for Quicken that I remote into to manage my families finances. Of course that isn’t headless.

I feel like, at least in this context, it’s unnecessary.

If your in a submarine and OP tries to open the external hatch while submerged, sure call him dumb. If op leaves your baby in a scorpion pit because he thought it’d make the child gain super powers, dumb.

If, however, OP thinks that Google is a valid metric to gage how popular something is. “I disagree with using this as a valid metric and here’s the reasons why.”

No need to call him dumb. This post didn’t hurt or impact you personally. It’s just the original guy who called him dumb really doesn’t like google. Which is fine. Not gonna call him dumb for using duck duck go.

Do you carry all that hate around with you all the time, or are you just making today a special day?

I like Ubuntu.

Nah. My windows 10 VM has been asking me to activate windows for years.

Never will.

This is how I get books to my Kindle. So, take that to the bank for what it’s worth.

Outstanding!

Second. I used to self-host Bitwarden. Then I realized it’d be too devistating to lose all my passwords, even with backups. So I moved to their cloud service and paid for my families accounts too.

Joplin tho, Joplin stays on the server with no backup. I should really, really make a backup this weekend.

Why does Kirk climb a mountain?

Because it’s there!

I don’t mean to interrupt here, but I use Linux.

I host in the way that you describe: “service.domain.com”. I use Cloudflare, docker, and Caddy.

I don’t remember any pit falls off the top of my head. Make sure to use HTTPS (port 443). Everything on http is basically open for everyone to see. Caddy should set that up for you automatically, tho. I recently moved to Caddy from Traefik, it’s an awesome tool.

Oh, here’s a pitfall. One time I opened a port, #22, for ssh access to my server. I installed fail2ban on my server. One weekend I looked at my logs and found I’d banned hundreds of IP addresses. Some bot found my open port and then begun attacking the login with some kinda rainbow table. I moved the port from the ssh default to something else and never had a problem since.

Also, and this isn’t a requirement but just useful, I set up a VLAN for my selfhosted server. It’s firewalled from my local network. That way, if someone access’ my server they don’t have access to my whole network.

So, tldr, have fun and midigate risk where you can.
