because discussing such projects in self hosting is fun and why we are here. I wanted to hear what others thought. Ie we are in a forum.

Many people host websites ;)

Waiting for stock market crash tomorrow be like…

How has that been going?

Yes, already have. It seems they don’t care.

Well, I am asking also security wise. I know most schools snoop. Can they somehow see traffic through ssh or VPN? Or just the protocols, logs, dates, etc

It is my own device, but yes utilities and security is their own.

I have a server in my school office. I currently only use it to backup important files. I am asking if running public or private containers on it would be safe and acceptable.

Links? Would love to read more…

Great point about IoT

My understanding is that scrappers check every domain and subdomain. You’re making it harder but not impossible. Everything gets scrapped

It would be better if you also did IP whitelisting, rate limiting to prevent bots, bot detection via cloudflare or something similar, etc.

I was auto banning all countries but my own but now I’m hosting one resource that has an audience including Chinese…

Good advice outside of this use case! :)

Anything else?

That’s not how web scrappers work lol. No such thing as obscurity except for humans

And what could actually happen? You learn through doing!

You’re right. They were not local at all!

So one of my computers still had the emails. I was able to move them into local folders, though moving more than 100 at a day would crash TB. Then I setup the new IMAP sync and everything works fine.

It seems going forward I should send copies to those local folders? TB works rather unintuitively. Thank you for your help! You helped me understand and explore my options :)
