Have you tried doing CAD work on a phone or iPad over a Remote Desktop connection?

Seems unpleasant enough to drive someone to buy a proper laptop to travel with.

If you don’t have a proper computer, how will you access this remote server to do your CAD work?

I imagine BitWarden is sufficiently good. The big leap in security comes from having no password manager to a decent password manager.

LastPass does not seem as serious about security so it doesn’t meet my personal bar for decency.

LastPass doesn’t have your password, so it can’t be stolen during a breach.

But 1Password goes a step further, also requiring a “secret key”, which also can’t be stolen.

Even if an attacker manages to steal your encrypted data from 1Password and also guess your master password, they still can’t access your data without a secret key.

For that reason, your 1Password account is more likely to compromised through your own device, not their server. And if your own devices are thoroughly compromised, no password manager can save you— the attacker can potentially grab all you type and see all you see.

I evaluated both BitWarden and 1Password for work and 1Password generally won across the board.

If you host yourself make sure backups are rock solid and regularly monitored and tested. Have a plan for your infrastructure being down or compromised.

1Password’s security model guards against this. Even if they are breached, your passwords cannot be decrypted.

You are more likely to screw up your own backups and hosting security than they are.

I like to manage services maximally with systemd so it was a natural fit for me.

It did not seem difficult to set up web and database quadlets so they are properly networked.

I tried a USB KVM switcher. I only recall there were serious issues and it didn’t last long.

Now I use a high quality USB dock and physically unplug/re-replug a work and personal laptop. That’s been a simple and reliable solution.

For my home server, I ssh into it.

Ghost has a lot of these features as well as being a blog and handling paid subscriptions and donations.

You use an IMAP syncer, like this one:

A word of caution: I professionally hosted email for over a decade.

90% or incoming email will be spam. Anti-spam tools will need regular updates. Backups are also super important.

All things considered, I don’t host my own email anymore although I know all the pieces involved.

There are also some independent email hosts that are good like Fastmail or for extra privacy, Proton Mail.

If the emails live on your server, can’t you use software there to send, receive and search emails?

There aren’t log visualizers for every artisanal log file format. But there’s a movement towards supporting JSON format logs for more services, and lots tools that can understand JSON logs making generating graphs and metrics from arbitrary logs fairly efficient.

If this tool is making the logs harder to parse by using a custom format, that’s something the tool could improve.

Some apps support both plaintext logs for humans and JSON logs for tools.

I recommend generating some metrics from the logs and graphing them yourself.

Perhaps the free Grafana plan would have what you need to parse the log files and visualize the metrics you want.

Look at how Dynamic DNS supported. Does it require full access to the account-- dangerous-- by using your login credentials or an API token with full read/write access? Or does it over a very limited scope access that gives the Dynamic DNS tool precisely the access it needs to update a single DNS record-- much safer! The latter is what CloudDNS does.

There are two services involved. Domain registration and DNS. Most domain registrars now provide some free DNS service, with basic features. I monitor dozens of domains, and I can tell you that these free DNS services with registrars are most likely to have short DNS outages as well.

ClouDNS is a professional, high-quality DNS service and that does one thing well. As far as I can tell, they don’t do domain registration, so that will always be a separate service. One of the things that ClouDNS does well is making Dynamic DNS easier.

Domain.com sounds like a domain registrar. You would keep that service and point your name servers for the domain to the ClouDNS name servers.

ClouDNS makes DDNS easy for a low cost for 1-5 domains.

DDoSing cost the attacker some time and resources so there has to something in it for them.

Random servers on the internet are subject to lots of drive-by vuln scans and brute force login attempts, but not DDoS, which are most costly to execute.

Other efficiency benchmarks place Apple Silicon and AMD chips ahead of Intel chips:

I’ve donated to marcan to work on Asahi Linux, which gets upstreamed. That’s direct.

What has better performance per watt than M1 at a better price?
