I avoid any software with emojis throughout the readme... Screams vibe coded! And for a reverse proxy?? 😂

@sadrarin ooh esto parece mucho mejor que el mio! Tengo autolojado BentoPDF pero no hay Imposition.

@ampersandrew that's a fair point - if it's not online then there's no risk at that moment. I'd still be worried that it gets probed and logged quickly when you're online, and then if a vulnerability with your setup is ever publicized then you're a sitting duck next time you go online. I imagine its low risk if you keep everything updated but I don't really want to test it!

@ampersandrew nah, the bandwidth limits are generally huge. I use Contabo, though I hear Hetzner recommended a lot. I think a Tailscale funnel only gives you like 3 specific ports and it can be harder to pair with s personal domain if you wanted that

@ampersandrew
Sure, but websites passively logging you as a passerby is very different than setting up shop with a billboard on top inviting everyone to look for openings or vulnerabilities

@ampersandrew
Or alternatively, a Tailscale FUNNEL is even easier, though less flexible. You put tailscale on your PC, then open a funnel to the tailnet that looks like pcname.mynet.ts.net. (Friend don't need tailscale.) You're relying on Tailscale's servers as the relay, but you're no longer discoverable on the open web at least!

@ampersandrew For convenient subdomains there are a couple good options that aren't terribly difficult.
A VPS + tunnel is probably best - you get a cheap VPS, point your DNS at it, and connect the VPS back to your home server via a tunnel - tailscale is an easy one. Your home IP is never public and friends just get a nice URL, no tailscale on their end

@ampersandrew Port forwarding puts your computer directly on the open internet for everyone to see. With Jellyfin or Matrix, a vulnerability or weak password could mean someone gets your media, credentials, or even into your network. In my experience, anything on the open web gets RELENTLESSLY probed for openings. There's always someone somewhere in the world scanning huge ranges of IPs in search of something vulnerable they can exploit.

@ottaross
Well, I certainly didn't make it in time for #ebtsc, but this cake is delicious. Thanks for the recipe!

@ottaross Well this is appropriate! I just spent the afternoon driving through endless almond groves, arriving home to the orange tree lined streets of Valencia. 😄 We were discussing the popularity of almond & orange cake here due to the local crops when I saw your post! Might have to attempt this cake tomorrow.
