Yep, that's right. In theory you could share the encrypted DB with the public and not degrade security. (Still don't do that though...)

Is this some peasant meme I am too NixOS to understand?

(Joking, joking. A good system settings center is important for graphically managed distros.)

Oh shit, yes, hosting at-home and with a non-static IP sounds like hard mode, oof.

I am hosting at a server provider (guess I am dependent on them, but at least it's on their existence, not on a policy-of-the-day), with a static IP. Had no problems with MS/Google, only with T-online, who wanted me to host a website on the domain with clear contact information.

Fair TBH. It is such a critical service to keep working.

But it does feel pretty amazing to free yourself of the whims of a provider 😅 I assume that's why you have not gone back either? ^^

I'm using Hetzner in Germany. Need to message them to say you want the relevant ports opened (spam protection measures), happens within an hour usually.

I quite like their service, but of course use full disk encryption etc

Selfhosting. (But I recognize that that is not an option for everyone.)

Huh. I update my revanced YouTube app every 6-9 months

Meh. Each service in its isolated VM and subnet. Plus just generally a good firewall setup. Currently hosting ~10 services plubicly, never had any issue.

Did all that, minus the no ssh root login (only key, obviously) plus one failed attempt, fail2ban permaban.

Have not had any issues, ever

All of them if you configure it?
