re: let's talk about self-hosting, and my opinions based on experience
Network Security:
Folks have degrees in this, so I'm gonna save you a dissertation and just list some personal recommendations. Check the replies, because I'm sure there will be some additional suggestions there!
What I'd recommend at a baseline:
- Pick a DNS provider that you trust (I currently use https://adguard-dns.io/en/welcome.html, and I've heard decent things about https://quad9.net/).
- SSH access should *only* allow keys, no password access. And for fuck's sake, don't allow direct root login. (Do your research on what kind of encryption and such to use, opinions vary)
- Lock down unused ports.
- Try to keep services that don't need to be open to the internet only accessible through LAN (or VPN if you're up for a bit of a challenge).
- SSL everything. At least *try* to do so if you're going to be exposing services to the open internet.
- Use a password manager. Make secure passwords wherever you can.

Researchers confirm what we already knew: Google results really are getting worse
'Search engines seem to lose the cat-and-mouse game that is SEO spam,' says study No, it's not just you - search engine results really are getting worse as the internet is flooded with low-effort garbage from SEO farms and affiliate link sites, a group of German researchers has concluded. …

@garrwolfdog Me either! Something we’re going to have to be aware of going forward.
@kevin Unfortunately not what we’re looking for. We’ve got a few more to look at this week.
Okay car but unfortunately not fully automatic (semi auto only, ie clutchless manual) and we want a fully automatic car.
Going to look at a car today!
Passport office has accepted my name change docs so just waiting for my new passport. Half way there!! :)

I am now the strange operator of the resurrected VCL furry art archive, at the new domain of https://vixencontrolled.net/
It's an important collection where many well-known artists got their start, and in some cases the only 'official' repository of their art. It needed preserving, so I stepped up to the task. Someone ought to.
Plus it means I get to promote WebP and AVIF. Time to let the old formats die off, and more efficient ones take over.
@PsyChuan Always said choco-bow (maybe chokabow if talking fast), seemed the right way, then later found out that it’s the way it’s pronounced in Japan too.
@avon_deer This has made my day!
@Bowsette The Godzilla franchise, though seminal, is overrated.
@avon_deer “Out of date IT systems” or “It’s cheaper in the very short term to maintain this legacy system and not upgrade. The super high costs in the long term are my successors problem.”

Secret santa gift I made for @Decimal! Took a shot at emulating the OK K.O. art style ^w^
Update re the car; the suspension bolts have snapped and it’s now only worth scrapping. Gonna have to look for a new car ASAP and probably gonna have to rearrange some things.
