lol wtf

docker w/ postgres, but really up to you. Either would be fine.

SSL is the main reason, this way your traffic is encrypted from snoopers on your land, and you don’t get the warning messages about it not being secure.

You can use a sub domain from desec for free to do this.

KASA HS300 $39.99 for 6 port smart strip with energy monitoring.

The latest version isn’t always the best version. In a home lab or home network, this is rarely a big problem, but in a production environment, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Without even looking, yes. If it is on the Internet, it is being attacked.

0.13 would save me a lot of money

If you want to protect data on your local network (and you should) you will want a reverse proxy to allow you to use SSL on all your services. A reverse proxy allows you to easily implement SSL on apps that are only exposed as HTTP (unencrypted).

I remember the problem I was having, I was constantly getting complaints from Google throttling me and asking for captcha. Do you get this?

this is a better solution

I have been happy with NordVPN. It is able to give me nearly 100% of my 1.5Gbps connection, and with almost no latency difference I’m able to game without turning it off.

I tried SearxNG a while ago, but I had a lot of problems. You having good luck with it?
