Yes, you're right. Are we able to go back? I mean, do they want to go back from being paid to almost nothing? And if I'm not mistaken, professional YouTubers produce a quality of videos that didn't exist back in the days.

Damn, you're right! That cheap SSD could bankrupt us! 🙈😆

we really need a FOSS decentralized video sharing platform to take hold

I'd love for that to happen, but without being paid by a central company, content creators won't...create content. Will it work with content creators own sponsors? Mmm...I don't know

Thanks for your point of view. All of my services are containers that have config and data folder bind mounted from an encrypted partition. After power on, a script download from a website half of the key needed to decrypt data, the other half is in the boot partition. In this way if my server gets stolen I can delete the half key stored on the website and the data disk can't be decrypted. About swap, you're right, but that doesn't worry me at all since I don't think that there's anybody that would goes into that trouble just for my data. If someone is able enough and takes the trouble to read it, I guess that's going to be the last of my problem: it would mean that I'm already in biiiiig troubles! 😆

You're just missing the part where I want to be on vacation without the need to find a decent Internet connection to boot my server because the power went off. What's the plus of encrypting the OS partition too?

That's interesting, but that won't help if I'm away or on vacation on the other side of the world

If you tick the encryption box during install, you will have to enter the decrypt password at every boot and that means that if the power goes out for long enough (UPS doesn't keep the server up for hours), I (and my family) will not have access to the self hosted stuff until I'll be home and this is why I encrypt only the data partition and not the boot one.

I do bind mount data folders of the containers, I do backups, I have a notification system that alerts me if a container is not up, but a container can be up but have problems and, most importantly, I (and I guess a lot of other people) don't always have time to solve problems. When I a few spare minutes a do a snapshot, I update the containers and if something goes wrong if I have time I troubleshoot it, otherwise I just roll back the snapshot and I'll have a look at the problem when I'll have time.

Nothing, it's just an extra check.

But from the moment that the script updates and breaks something and the moment he realizes it may be too late for some applications.

For example I host Traccar to track car/vans and in this case some tracks would be lost. Or maybe SyncThing, he may realize days/weeks later that a sync is not working and if he was synching his smartphone pictures with his server and the smartphone is lost/broke/stolen, he may lose days/weeks or even months of pictures.

I wouldn't trust a script. Use Watchtower or What's up Docker

So it's the use of a browser within a browser? Is it any different than just using Firefox containers (they are AWESOME!!!) and a VPN add-on?

I use BookStack and with Node Red I export to PDF the books as soon as pages get updated, so if everything goes feet up, I have all the documentation in PDFs (locally and automatically uploaded to a free DropBox account, still done with Node Red).

But the attacker should know the internal and the external DNS. If the internal DNS doesn't have any SSL certificate on its name, it's impossible to discover.

By the way, I always suggest to reach services through VPN and use something like Cloudflare tunnel for services that must be public.

P.s. Shouldn't public and private DNS be inverted in your curl example?

My point is that you can't compare today's problem with 20 years ago! 20 years ago the access to the Internet was through the home PC for the amount of time the kid was allowed to use and with people in the house (usually); today the access to the Internet for a kid is 24/7 and everywhere. There is no comparison. Parents should be more present in the kids life? Sure! Parents should block Internet access to porn website at least until a certain age? Yes! But most of them doesn't even know that ths is possible. Maybe we (society, givernment) should work more here.

Thanks!

Guys, come on, in the '80/early '90 it was almost impossible to have access to porn, maybe some magazine found somewhere. Today a 10 years old can see porn video on a smartphone everytime he wants! You can't say that it's the same!

P.s. In my original message I didn't say that I'm ok with that law, I was asking (to start a kind discussion) what other possibilities there are.

In fact I wrote:

The firsts with wide Internet access were the late millennials.

which seems to be you.

I know, but what were the risks there? There was no Internet! The firsts with wide Internet access were the late millennials.

Or just point secret.local.mydomain.com to the LAN IP of the server.

To avoid opening ports, have a look at Cloudflare tunnel.
