Stock raspberry os and syncthing sounds like the easiest way to do this.

I also dislike graphana kabana elastic behemot.

You can use rsyslog to centralize the logs. Then there’s tools like this for anomaly detection on those logs.

A small application I wrote myself, hosted on the free tier of pythonanywhere.com

Uptime monitoring and notifications

I’ve done cron @reboot keep-one-running <mycommand> before (1)

Great news, thanks!

Hopefully the android releases will be able to follow, as I understand the original syncthing authors will no longer be supporting android.

Aah, ISP’s NAT. Yes, in that context, it’s correct that you can’t port forward.

Perhaps you can STUN through, but unlikely to get a good port.

Port forwarding was invented for exactly that

1. Port forwarding
2. Yes, and there’s services that do that for you

Static IP is helpfull but not necessary. Even with NAT and a changeing IP there’s options, such as:

1. dynamic dns.
2. Public reverse proxy or tunnel.
3. Onion routing.

Quick, but sadly incorrect

It makes things easier, but you have options, such as:

1. dynamic dns.
2. Public reverse proxy or tunnel.
3. Onion routing.

I get where you’re coming from. There’s certainly a “I know best and should never reconsider my views” anti-sympathic thinking to be found here, mostly of the communist variety. But I wouldn’t say it’s more than elsewhere.

In any case, the technology is wonderfull. Start your own instance, be the change you want to see in the world.

Try to find a flower today, appreciate how beautifull it is.

Do you think that’ll be a large problem in your life?

A bit like this? https://github.com/chaitin/safeline

Cloudflare does a lot of things from DNS to tunnels. Can you describe the part you’re interested in?

One if my clients got hacked via an insecure application, that was used to get a shell, to then escalate to root via docker. Luckily it was a white hat team we hired.

Is it worth it to go rootless? Depends on your threat model.

For my home setup I don’t bother.

DVDs are the same idea but easier

I find that digitalocean (which is a VPS provider) has great tutorials.

I often tend to search “how to X site:digitalocean.com”, despite hosting almost everything on my own hardware.
