I have many of my services open to the internet, but behind authelia w/2fa and a reverse proxy. I haven’t had a security issue yet, been running this way for a few years.
I think it’s pretty safe as long as you keep them up to date. I run backups weekly and do updates at least once a month.
Using geoip restrictions will also help a lot because you can block most of the scanner bots by denying connections from outside your geographic region. These bots detect what services are open to the internet and then add them to databases like shodan. If a security flaw is found in one of those services, hackers will search those databases for servers with those services running and try to exploit them. If you aren’t in those databases they can’t easily find you before you are able to patch.
We’re also in a big vehicles arms race. I’m always telling people about how big vehicles cause more kids to get run over, more pedestrians to die, more damage in accidents, etc. The most common response from giant vehicle owners is that it makes them feel safer in an accident.
In 10 years they’ll probably all be driving tanks with stadium lights mounted on top.
I’ve also had problems with PLA prints delaminating and becoming brittle over time, especially if it’s being flexed or exposed to sunlight. Some PLA’s are worse than others with this, though.
I use PETG for anything I want to last a long time.
If you’re going to try Authelia and a reverse proxy, I recommend using SWAG. It’s a docker container that includes Authelia, nginx, fail2ban, geoip restrictions, and has premade config files for most of the selfhosted software that people run. The config files are especially useful since they include comments that describe the settings you need to change within the services you run, like changing the external domain in Emby for example.
Can you elaborate on why you blame Drake for the Astroworld crush?
I just read the whole Wikipedia article about the incident. There is definitely a lot of blame to go around based on that article, but I doesnt have much about Drake’s role in it. It seems like he was only on stage for one song, and wouldn’t have been in any position to stop the show.
I’m not defending Drake, I’m just curious about what context I’m missing.
