2) Running Windows or desktop Linux applications with desktop mode + USB-C DisplayPort alt mode on the Pixel 8 and later.

I'd be curious to know what desktop apps people plan on running on their phones. It's cool that it's possible but I'm not sure what I would do with it.

The downward trend on the stock market is still in place 🤷‍♂️

I'll DM you in a bit but real quick I just wanted to say I thought you improved in this episode. Great work

has some basic monitoring on them.

What monitoring software are you using?

I feel like the other measures you talked about (backups, condom of network traffic, etc) I'm doing ok on. Its really just the monitoring where I'm stuck. There's so many options

I've seen a bunch of people recommend Authelia. Do you mind if I ask why you went with it over other software? I only went with authentik because I found a tutorial on it first

  1. check

  2. check

  3. check

  4. I saw someone else recommend crowdsec. I'll look into it, thanks

if you use one of those 5$/month VPSes, with a VPN tunnel to your backend services, that adds one layer of “if it’s compromised, they’re not in your house”.

I've heard this mentioned before but I don't really understand how this works in practice. If the VPS was compromised, couldn't they use the VPN to then connect to my home?

Caddy only allows private IP ranges

Do you mind telling me more about this? How does that work; a VPN?

If it were only me using the apps, I'd be using a VPN. Over the years, I've used OpenVPN, Wireguard, and now Tailscale. In my experience, they work like 99% of the time. That last 1% though is weird connection issues; usually when switching between WiFi and cellular (or vice versa) but sometimes it's my server or ISP and I have to turn the VPN off and back on to troubleshoot. During those rare times, my partner will either turn off the VPN and forget to turn it back on or they will forget about the VPN completely and not be able to use their phone. Ideally, I'd like to set something up that doesn't require any potential troubleshooting on their part so I can avoid hearing "why can't we just use Google photos?" or "what's wrong with Google home?" 😓

oh, my mistake. tbh, I don't know enough about it but I'm interested. Why set up a TLS cert for AI at home? How is that benefiting you and your setup?

I've seen some people set up SSL certs for self hosted services and not make them publicly available but I didn't get around to seeing why they were doing it

Have also set it up so they get banned on Cloudflare’s side, so before another malicious request ever reaches me.

How did you end up setting that up?
