It allows me to connect into the house via the VPS without opening ports or knowing my home address.

Nowadays there are various companies offering tunnelling services, but my setup has been working for a long time and I see no reason to change.

It’s the root OS; that Pi is a media centre in the living room (plus it’s taken on a few extra duties since it’s always online). It’s been going for a good few years now, 8+?

I’ve been running OSMC (Kodi on Debian) plus a few useful things like maintaining a reverse SSH connection to a VPS.

Thanks for doing this, but I have equally little idea about how to best visualise it.

I was already getting free egress by going via Cloudflare (plus a small amount outside that that stayed within the free tier), so for me this is just a 20% price increase.

I like them - fast enough and a good price, especially if you have public data you’re happy to put behind Cloudflare for free egress.

Edit: Aaaand this morning I get an email saying prices are going up by 20% in October 🤦‍♂️

I love Mermaid, although I don’t think you can currently do network diagrams. I’ve seen Kroki recommended here for doing that, which supports Mermaid plus many similar markup-based diagrammers.

I was going to say my notes are in Joplin, but my more honest answer is basically yours.

My SSH auth uses SSH keys stored in authorized_keys, but I see your point. For me, OpenLDAP will be letting users in to the various services and SSH is outside that. I suppose SFTP could be something I want, but I’d be tempted to put a new sshd inside a container and have it more restricted than the system one.

I think the backup key idea is definitely the most broadly applicable, but there’s physical/KVM for a more old school access route.

You can star comments or posts to save them, it might be under the ⋮ menu. You can view your saved posts in your profile.

What’s your DR plan? My “plan” is to SSH in and figure out what’s wrong.

They do seem almost too good to be true. I might use those for when I want lots of little, disposable servers (like regional game servers) but I’d be scared trusting critical stuff to them.

On the other hand, https://lowendtalk.com/ users seem to have rated them highly (not that I’d heard of that site before today either!).

Overall, definitely worth the risk at that price, thanks for the heads up.

As others have answered your main question, I’ll just point out that on Firefox you can search through your open tabs by adding % before your search. I imagine the other browsers have a similar feature.

well I’m going to reply to you to request that @[email protected] dm 1 day

I used to have a friend’s password somewhere that used rotation and I’d just have to do a quick bit of maths to figure out the final number. Surely there are bots that are smart enough to automate this: mysuperstrongpass01 -> mysuperstrongpass02, mysuperstrongpass03 etc. [edit: the article alludes to this, but then I most of our comments here and on the link are not very original either!]

Password reuse is probably the worst security flaw nowadays, and a strong but reused password is basically no better than classics like password1 after a depressingly small amount of time/services.

Joplin - Note App

I don’t think there’s a paid tier for Joplin, just the ability to donate (for no perks or mention).

Never mind, I see there’s Joplin Cloud with online storage and multiple user support.

I think the Docker/Ansible is pretty easy but the DIY option is not. There were a couple of people who were trying to document the DIY process but the last I heard was that they were both stuck.
