  • Minimum open services is indeed best practice but be careful about making statements that the attack surface is relegated to open inbound ports.

    Even Enterprise gear gets hit every now and then with a vulnerability that’s able to bypass closed port blocking from the outside. Cisco had some nasty ones where you could DDOS a firewall to the point the rules engine would let things through. It’s rare but things like that do happen.

    You can also have vulnerabilities with clients/services inside your network. Somebody gets someone in your family to click on something or someone slips a mickey inside one of your container updates, all of a sudden you have a rat on the inside. Hell even baby monitors are a liability these days.

    I wish all the home hardware was better at zero trust. Keeping crap in isolation networks and setting up firewalls between your garden and your clients can either be prudent or overkill depending on your situation. Personally I think it’s best for stuff that touches the web to only be allowed a minimum amount of network access to internal devices. Keep that Plex server isolated from your document store if you can.


  • Billy West is 72, and Katey Sagal is 70. They’re trying to voice 20yo’s. There is a limited amount of content we’re going to get out of them. I’m also sure the budget wasn’t was it once was for the VA’s or the writers.

    I’m happy that we’re getting more content. Even mediocre content has gems in it. I do wish they’d stray away from current issues as it takes them so long to produce episodes at this burn rate that the content is a bit aged by the time we’re watching it.




  • It’s crazy as hell watching that form factor reduce. The early bipeds looked like first generation NASA moon landing suits. That thing looks small enough to fit in clothing you could buy at a local department store.

    And while I think the 360 pivoting hips are an interesting touch I really wish they would constrain themselves to human anatomical moves.









  • I’d vote for anytype or obsidian

    Anytype has a learning curve, But it has built-in encryption and IPFS syncing provided by the company. The templating system is really slick and the relational aspect is pretty solid.

    Obsidian + syncthing fork is a really solid contender. It’s much easier to work with out of the box but the features are a little more generic.

    Neither of these are really self-hosted, so much as they are contained in their own ecosystem. You get some measure of higher availability that you have to really work for if you’re really self-hosting a product.
