May not add security in and of itself, but it certainly adds the ability to have a little extra security. Put your reverse proxy in a DMZ, so that only it is directly facing the intergoogles. Use firewall to only expose certain ports and destinations exposed to your origins. Install a single wildcard cert and easily cover any subdomains you set up. There’s even nginx configuration files out there that will block URL’s based on regex pattern matches for suspicious strings. All of this (probably a lot more I’m missing) adds some level of layered security.

I totally agree - demo video I saw makes it look like it totally has both those features

I definitely would lean into your camp for sure. The demo video shows it previewing suggested renames before accepting, but I see your point and I definitely had the same initial reaction lol

This is the way lol

Excellent, I’ll check this out thank you!

Fwiw, you can do a manual HTML import at present…the thing I’m most curious about is the automated re-import as manually uploading every day or few days isn’t high on my list of desires hahaha :)

Hey there! Love what you’re doing with this project - it’s super cool! I did want to ask a question though as I raised a GitHub issue a while back but received no response - is there any chance that the ability to automatically import .HTML bookmark backup files might be added in the future?

My use case is that every night I have my Chrome bookmarks automatically exported to a folder on my NAS - and currently I use ArchiveBox to read that file and archive any newly added sites. While this works, ArchiveBox has at times been rather finicky for me at least over the years, and so I’d love a little cleaner and more functional alternative. I’m not sure if others would find value in this being an option, but just a thought!

Rofl this is great 😂

There was a study I read not too long ago that found the pre-movie anti piracy warning actually acted sort of reverse psychology on men, causing them to actually pirate more (as opposed to women). There have definitely been some gender-correlations in certain studies.

This. I made a similarly boneheaded mistake a few months back and lost a fair amount of stuff. Thankfully 95+% of it was ancient program files and such that gave me a good excuse to go through and make some much needed cleanup actually happen for once.

Make sure there is a warranty/decent return policy and test obviously as others have said…but I’ve bought more 3 and 4TB HGST drives than I care to admit and have very rarely had any issues. At the price you can find even larger TB sizes for I personally consider it worth the gamble for certain use cases.

I’ve only used one VPS so far, but I can second that Vultr has been pretty good to me thus far.

Great! This is awesome thank you so much!!

I get that part, and it all makes total sense. I was only confused on the “torrents will be detected” part of the original comment.

I get that - I was just confused at your “torrents would be detected” comment. I understand using a VPN would be visible and may be against whatever TOS they have.

VPN sure, but if he’s using a VPN then all visible torrent activity should be terminated at the VPN server correct? Assuming they aren’t installing management software on whatever endpoint device OP is using, how would they be able to view the specific traffic between him and whatever VPN server he is using?

In any case, I would agree with another poster that Linux ISO’s and cars to a seedbox and then transfer via SFTP would be the best route.

Yeah, it’s honestly a decent business model as it works

Nothing like a week and a half notice, eh? I honestly don’t care for how much control over the internet Cloudflare has, but I’ve been extremely happy with them since transferring my domains over to them a few years back.

Lmao this is impressive even puts my pile to shame 😂

These are all pretty good suggestions…a few points I’d add based solely on my personal experiences:

• A lot of Amcrest’s cameras are pretty solid for the price too. I’ve recently ordered some rebadged Dahuas from empire tech and haven’t used them a ton but so far I’m thinking I’ll really like them.
• Check out night color cameras. They’re not as “discreet” potentially as they generate their own visible light if it’s pitch black out, but to me that’s actually another security benefit…and the night time performance can be amazing.
• Blue Iris is another pretty great piece of software. Super cheap for what it offers, and while it’s a little more resource heavy being a full fledged NVR, you can pair it with things like Codeproject.ai and get some amazing results.
• Double down on getting rid of wifi, if at all possible, and through any and every means possible. I too was initially pretty set on the convenience of wifi, but mixing wifi and cameras just never ends up in a great experience from everything I’ve ever had experience with. The absolute best I’ve ever seen is just “ok”, and usually it’s substantially worse.

Good luck!!
