Look… What in nature haven’t we fucked.

Right outside your bedroom window.

That was a rabbit hole. I never heard the term prior to this. Pretty interesting.

Ah yeah, those were interesting times. (Although there were some historically interesting viruses back in the day for those floppies too)

Fond memories though. Learning basic on a cartridge… Using literal cassettes for storage. That horrifying sound of a 5" floppy drive struggling to read that file you really needed. Good times.

Generally speaking that was probably what most of us would identify as pre internet times - but usenet / BBS / and early internet and prior definitely was more bright eyed and optimistic. Probably because it was more about learning and tech and less about monotizing every square inch of your existence 😂

I doubt they will drop below 1-2 weeks. Any service outage would turn into a ddos when service was restored.

Is this the same trust that would infect a box in under a minute if not behind a router?

The same trust of needing to scan anything you downloaded for script kiddie grade backdoors?

Zero click ActiveX / js exploits?

Man I’m probably the same age and those are some intense rose colored glasses 😅

Our software is basically a web app that makes it easier to install and manage supported third-party apps. Wireguard (currently) is only used for remote access, if you don’t need that you don’t have to turn it on.

So my point I was driving at - especially with such a diverse offering of wireguard services which do not charge for (effectively) VPN access to your own infrastructure - I was more interested in why your service would be looking to pay gate it as a “premium” feature.

This would be different if we were talking you hosting all these services on your infrastructure but considering the marketing to homelab - I find it to be an unusual choice… And was curious as to the reason for the decision.

For security, everything runs in an isolated sandbox using docker and that also answers your other question.

Right. Docker does sandboxing. That’s a core feature it provides - I’m just trying to ascertain what precisely your company is actually offering outside of a ui wrapper on these established services.

I mentioned earlier that your branding seems to emphasize security - but all I’m seeing is mention of existing security features inherent in the software being wrapped. Does your team do additional tuning for security? Do they have experience in infrastructure security, hardening systems, or the like? To be clear I just want to better understand the branding and what is being offered.

the same goes for backups, they can be geo-redundant if you use our service, but these are optional feature.

Alright so this is a feature that a homelab user can actually use - backups. Could you expand on how you will be managing this feature / plan to implement it once it is offered?

Alright so I’ll ask a hardball question or two. What precisely are you offering that isn’t just repackaged install scripts and a wireguard wrapper?

What is your / your teams background in software security? The implication of the name and your “branding” are selling a lot - what outside of docker and wireguard are you bringing to the table. On that note: why docker?

Further - you are paywalling remote access… When your platform is utilizing wireguard.

Netbird (one of many examples) doesn’t even do that… What’s the reasoning?

I have more but let’s start there.

Get. Fucked. Mouse. 📎

It’s like drugs and alcohol in that the urge is there just no easy and legal access to the same outlets. In the case of porn - I’d say it’s gonna get bad.

Will they fear monger? Have they wasted a single opportunity to do so yet? I’d be hard pressed to point at a time where we had stopped.

…or anything Christians don’t like into one big bin called illegal?

Not to lump everyone into the same boat but I’ll take the low hanging fruit for the obvious low blow:

I’ll tell you one thing that those churches seem to like that will definitely not see an uptick as we make legal outlets less accessible…

Prohibition and the war on drugs sure worked out well when they were implemented. Surely this time …

… I mean getting rid of standards and quality control … and testing can’t possibly have adverse effects here. Ah well. We’re speed running regression in just about everything else: what’s one more offering for the pyre?

Surely the children will thank us for … saving them … when they are older.

This right here is why it’s so VERY important to read things before accepting what is presented as the unblemished truth. 🍻

Anyone know how to turn the US off and on again to verify we can roll back? I wanna say we might have some corrupted sectors…

It worked on my box!

To be fair a certain security company was in global news for exactly that same send it behavior. Why waste precious resources on multiple instances? Investors hate waste. 😅

This. They provide outstanding insights and the articles they provide alongside the data are quite good.

Most of them have part time jobs by that point… have quit their clubs to make time for cram school, and need to provide choices for not only their followup education but their desired trade. So they’re isolated during a time of extreme stress… and are exhausted.

Oh and their population is cratering and the economy is headed for hyperinflation… which means more work for ‘less’ pay in a country that has people literally die of overwork.

Honestly? It’s astounding how much those kids can absorb and keep on going.

Lithium ion is pure shit in extreme temps… and of course an added load of ordinance and armor… this thing will have less reliability and range than a kids power wheels.
