Haha, yeah I didn’t necessarily mean for CAD work, though I suppose you could get a mouse and keyboard to make it more tolerable.

You can RDP in with a toaster these days.

Okay, maybe not a toaster. But you can use any old piece of junk you have lying around. Even a phone.

Absolutely, in fact I’d be willing to bet vaultwarden does just that. That’s a good point.

I don’t understand it tbh. Password managers and email are the main things I avoid self hosting. Email because it’s just too easy to fuck something up and never realize you’re not actually properly sending/receiving email. And password managers because if I lose access to it, I’m kinda royally fucked. And the password managers I use keeps a local copy of your database that gets periodically updated, so even without internet I do still have access.

Nah, wildcard cert wouldn’t play into it at all.

Innit?

<.< My friend, look at the first of the two presented options.

Yes, most here will self host it. The app at least presents the concept of a centralized host as an option.

Safer is a matter of opinion. You’re moving your trust from one company to another, that doesn’t necessarily equate more safety. How do you trust the safety of companies?

As for less fragile, that is patently untrue. You have all the same failure points as previous, but now must manage the update schedule of another server, and have the added reliance on a third party host. You’ve increased fragility if anything.

?? Your solution to dynamic dns is to run all the traffic through a static IP vps? Are you paying for this VPS, or are you saying you trust the host more than you trust cloudflare, because they give you a free VPS?

??? Your original proposed solution is literally a bandaid fix.

Yeah, I’ve been looking for this as well. I’ve got a constant check engine light because the catalytic converter is dead, and that’s about the only thing on the car I don’t care about.

… what?

Them: “I want a centralized place to handle all my graphics stuff, so I can access graphically intensive things from any device.”

You: “Must be incest renders because you already have hardware and say you use it for work.”

So according to you, contractors don’t exist, iPhones can play PC games, and anyone wanting to split PC resources between multiple use cases is shady.

What’s ridiculous is that you seem to think extreme paranoia is a normal thing in everyday life.

Most people are under the impression that their IP being public is somehow super dangerous, and that “hackers will attack me” if it ever gets out. So likely “all the attacks against my entire network.”

Edit: Secondary thought, they legitimately have unsecured endpoints on their IP, and are hoping no one will notice if they aren’t handing out their IP to others. Still incorrect though.

I mean, not to beat a dead horse but those are precisely the type of people who would push off an update forever if given the choice.

Not that a midday, mid work reboot is acceptable.

May 27th 2024? O.o

To be fair, last update isn’t the end all be all. If the project is in a stable place, and there haven’t been any breaking changes, there’s just no need to update.

If you’re only exposing your services through a cloudflare tunnel, it doesn’t even matter if they get your real IP.

That was my thought process when I got it, and it was only $99 when I purchased. As long as the host (one man show unfortunately) remains, I’ve got a reliable email system in place. And he does an amazing job of keeping off spam lists.

https://mxroute.com/ currently offers “lifetime” with 10GB combined storage, unlimited mailboxes, unlimited domains, for $129. I bought it a year or so back, no complaints.

It doesn’t.
