That’s really helpful, thank you. I’ve ordered an AX23 which will arrive tomorrow. I’ll try to figure it out in the next few days and report back.

Thank you! I’ll evaluate and report back.

And openwrt is capable enough?

Yeah it’s insane right? Every address is reachable when I open a port range. And it’s like there are ~ 10 predefined services (HTTP/S, SMTP, …) and the category “All other ports” where also 22 is part of. So I really have the choice to either keep everything shut or leave everything wide open.

I think I can’t use my own modem but I’ll have to double check with my ISP. But yes the Wi-Fi is also provided by that router and it’s also quite crappy.

Thank you! Do you have an example for such a firewall device? Could something like the TP-Link Archer AX55 in IPv6 “pass-through” mode do the job? Or would you go for a standalone firewall? My budget is around a hundret bucks.

haha, word

That’s what’s kept me from using it, although I very much like the idea of paying for a good service. I would love to see them figure out a way to avoid accounts.

IIRC there is a plugin for Caddy that can do what you are looking for.

Edit: here you go

Your comment reminds me of that great tune by Pink Floyd.

I migrated my home- and webservers from Debian to FCOS a while ago and I’m very happy with how everything works.

Troubleshooting butane/ignition was a bit of a pain in the butt but worth it imo. I suggest just reading through the FCOS docs, they guided me well while setting everything up. I use podman on my webservers and docker on the homeserver (bc nextcloud aio is not fully podman compatible). I use the installer to build a pre-configured ISO that I can deploy where I want to.

Someone in the comments mentioned Flatcar, which I think looks compelling as well, since it’s basically the same but more of a community effort.

I think this is a step in the right direction. Everyone can lose a portable device or it can get stolen, so protecting the potentially sensitive data is important.

I think what people are complaining about is not full-disk encryption itself, but the fact that people are not used to being responsible for their cryptographic keys.

I think we should educate people regarding this responsibility. We did it with regular keys we use to unlock our homes.

A little overconfident as usual imo

Swiss lemming here. Switzerland already open-sourced multiple projects before, most notably the app to store your COVID test / vaccination status in. It was even officially available on F-Droid. I was very suprised at that point, and I’m happy to see that there are now efforts to make such behavior more default and less edge case, even when there are exceptions.
