Nostr Web Client

Exciting day…

I have added a firewall and docker, I ran a thing in docker, it said “hello”. I got sad because computer said 100mb/s, I became happy when I changed a router setting and now computer says 1000mb/s.

Now to change all the ports, that’ll be super fun. Pretty sure Port 80 is Po Po so want a better number. At least I think that’s what I do next. It’s something to do.

At this rate I should be hacking The Pentagon sometime in Q3 in the year 2968.

Clever people, if you were building a home server but were also a massive idiot, what security measures would you put in place? I have UFW and aim to add a reverse proxy, much of this language is foreign to me but it sounds cool…

Are there some vital 101 type features a server should have to be secure?

Check out pi-hole which you use as your DNS you host yourself, to filter out malware and many banner adverts and tracking sites.

funny you mention reverse proxy, i was day dreaming earlier about a way to break down some concepts for you and what analogies exist in audio engineering. The only i devised was that a proxy is kinda like a patchbay.

Anyways in terms of security top pf the charts, fail2ban is a classic banger found on most machines. It monitors login attempts on ssh, nginx or whatever and after a set amount of failures, it bans the IP of the purp! Check it out!

Ahh great shout on fail2ban, hadn’t thought of that, thanks!
