Is it practically impossible for a newcomer selfhost without using centralised services, and get DDOSed or hacked?

  • Use any old computer you have lying around as a server. Use Tailscale to connect to it, and don’t open any ports in your home firewall. Congrats, you’re self-hosting and your risk is minimal.

  • I’ve been daily driving arch for like five years now, and this is just flat out not true at all. I agree it’s not a beginner distro, but if you know what you’re doing and know what you want it’s the best.

  • If people wanna steal my code they can steal it, it’s why I publish it. It’s not that good anyway

    I don’t agonize over every line of public code or anything, I just make it reasonably maintainable and generalized enough to be useful to people who aren’t me. If it’s a throwaway bash script with hardcoded paths and such, why would I put it up anywhere?

  • Not really, If it’s throwaway then I don’t publish it anywhere.

  • My open source work is published under my real name because I feel like if someone is running my code, they should know who I am? Also it helps with my CV and such. I don’t go into politics or anything controversial though, keep it pretty professional.

  • First I’d ask if you need to open ports at all - if this is only for your family’s use then Tailscale or one of its alternatives can accomplish the same goal without opening ports in your firewall or worrying about security flaws in your hosted services.

    If it’s for public use, maybe consider cloudflare tunnel?
