  • This is true and typically called "Next Generation Firewall" or "Intrusion Prevention System".

    However, these have three disadvantages:

    • They rely on signatures and many vendors only provide these with an active, costly subscription
    • They add complexity and possible error sources and false positives.
    • They require processing power and can easily reduce throughput by 90%.

    These systems are quite common in enterprise scenarios, but AFAIK the exception in home labs and selfhosting environments.

  • Vaultwarden could be a good start. Everyone needs a good password manager, and setting up one at home is pretty easy.

    You don't even need to expose it to the internet, you can start with a local installation (with some limitations).

  • Setting up a reverse proxy with nginx proxy manager is pretty simple and comes with letsencrypt support.

    For letsencrypt to work, a software needs to write a confirmation code to a special path in your domain. When letsencrypt verifies that you can write to this path (and therefore control the domain), you get the certificate.

  • The 7520u's performance is roughly a quarter of the Steam Deck's, making it suboptimal for gaming. However, I came across this video demonstrating the CPU running Cyberpunk 2077 at 13 fps, albeit not playable. Considering this, it suggests that CS2 should be playable; there might be issues with drivers or the CS2 installation.

  • The big advantage is that you only need to authenticate once and don't need another 2FA app for every service you need to access. It gets quite annoying to type a TOTP code five times a day.

  • I'm not too happy with this solution. Not extremely bad, but technically, both password and the second factor are stored in the same place, which makes this similar in security to just using a long, random password with a password manager.
