- Comment on Plex vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild to drop a cryptominer 5 days ago:
If you want to expose plex to the open Internet (not a VPN) Don’t open the plex port to the internet. Turn off the “remote access” setting and run it behind a reverse proxy instead.
- Comment on Bitwarden Switches to Commercial License 1 week ago:
wow, setting up vaultwarden quadlet to work with my selfhosted OIDC sso was stupid easy. Migrating my bitwarden setup to it took no time at all. The extra step was setting up some extra pocketid passkeys to be stored on non-vaultwarden hosted systems (ie. google) to prevent myself from being locked out in case vaultwarden crashes (which probably was a good idea to do regardless). Just need to add the data volume to my regular backup.

You may also want to consider a hardened single sign-on solution, as that can enable 2FA for all your services, even those that don’t have them built-in. I use Authentik.
- Comment on Selfhosting as a Linux newbie - Ubuntu Server LTS or Debian 13? 2 months ago:
i’ve been running fedora server for my home stuff for several years. it version upgrades well without issues. The main drawback is the speed of updates, frequent kernel/nvidia reboots required, and having to upgrade the whole system to a new release every 6 months.
Inasmuch as I’ve migrated my entire hosting to rootless podman, I’m seriously planning on installing debian so I can just leave it alone.
