Switch to high-test coffee.

Use tailscale and keep your services behind the VPN. Opening up your services, even behind a tunnel, isn’t a thing you should get into early in your self-hosting journey.

It’s using plasma-nano session, which is a minimal Plasma session, and adding a launcher and settings app from what I can see.

You can run it in a regular window if you install the dependencies and use kde-builder to compile it and run. See the Dev docs at https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-bigscreen/

If you do decide to install all the kde-builder stuff, I’d suggest you use a distrobox container to make it easy to remove the many, many packages that it will install in order to set up the build environment

I’m pretty familiar with TTech’s legacy, I just mention it because if the repos ever got compromised, it could be a shitshow. IDK what security measures the new maintainers use to secure their access or check PRs, but I get nervous when it’s as popular as it is and such a good vector for complicated installations that are hard to check out. I also don’t know the new maintainers from Adam.

Personally, I’d use the scripts as a guide for DIY.

Know what you’re running when you pipe to a bash script. Curl-bash pipes are a security mess.

Something that’s less annoying than Anubis is fail2ban tarpitting the scrapers by putting in a hidden honeypot page link that they follow, and adding the followers to fail2ban.

Why Radicale when you have a caldav-capable calendar in NC?

Thing like this are why there’s a million settings in KDE; every dev is prepared for the inevitable “but I hate it, make it go away” complaint. Granted, this complainer was pretty respectful and threw in a donation to soften the blow. Most people just act entitled, like the dev personally affronted them with their update.

Because Arch requires human sacrifice.

I wonder why that RoboNope doesn’t just make a fail2ban entry for anything that accesses a disallowed url and drop them entirely.

Actually this look like it would do something similiar, then dumps them to fail2ban after the re-access the honeypot page too many times: https://petermolnar.net/article/anti-ai-nepenthes-fail2ban/

Grandma? Pls send money.

20F isn’t much of a fluctuation anyway.

Don’t expose anything outside of the tailnet and 99% of the potential problems are gone. Noobs should not expose services across a firewall. Period.

That sounds like the way to do it. It’s under your control and it’ll always work.
