Yeah, Pipewire is pretty great IMO.

People love to go “you hate on Systemd/Wayland? you just HATE PROGRESS!!”, but like, no, new stuff itself isn’t the problem and this proves that. Pipewire doesn’t seem to be all that controversial, I don’t really see anyone hating on it, or people going “YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT IT!!!”.

The moment you get a TLS cert, it’ll show up in Certificate Transparency logs and apparently the attack bots scan that for targets.

You can totally do that yeah!

We have our stuff set up so inbound VPS traffic (for HTTPS) comes in on port 4430, while LAN traffic is on 443. It’s not done for firewall reasons, it’s so we can pass the client’s IP through with Nginx’s proxy_protocol feature, but you could just make your local-only services not listen on 4430. Boom, done.

Fail2Ban on the VPS is probably good. On the home server, it might just lock out the VPS (since everything comes from there).

Anyway yeah, I’ve got a whole guide on this sort of setup! https://frost.brightfur.net/blog/selfhosting-with-a-bounce-vps-part-1/

Look, between the “let’s not do anything at all” party and the “wants us, specifically, dead” party, I’ll take the “let’s not do anything at all” party.

You don’t have to 100% like everything a given party is doing to recognize that they’re the least bad option. Sure, they aren’t really actively good, but a vote for them is a vote against the people who want to kill us. (And voting third party is just tossing your vote in the garbage, unfortunately.)

And Mac has alt - for –, and shift alt - for —. We use the English (Macintosh) keyboard layout on our Linux boxen, so we’ve got that too!

Man, it’s so weird to think about misogynistic/degrading/abusive porn existing. I’m used to furry porn which, generally, is much more positive “yay let’s do [insert rule 34 of literally anything you could possibly think of] and have a great time!” type stuff.
