PHP, TLS, etc… We appear to be facing a tsunami of vulnerabilities being discovered in record time. Further, the window to act on these vulnerabilities has basically closed to zero; hackers’ tools now automatically fold the very latest vulnerabilities into their botnets within minutes/hours of discovery. I have always been extremely reluctant to expose any of my services - even with the latest and greatest security tools. My choice to stay totally within the confines of tailscale seems vindicated given this week’s news. How are you all taking this?

    I moved to closing everything down and wireguarding in to home 5 years ago and I’m glad I did. I only expose game server these days which have a different vuln profile.

    If/when I open up for Jellyfin/etc, I’ll probably run them on a different box to my NAS in a DMZ with strong firewall rules. And use a VPS for anything else that doesn’t require NAS storage to reduce blast radius.

    Can we go back to late 90s internet yet?
