  • I use them as a DDNS, and a first line of defence.

    It seems very wasteful, doesn’t it?
    The truth is that I often need to access these from a device that doesn’t have local access to the server, such as a company laptop, or a phone on mobile network.
    This is also given for anyone outside of my house.
    As such, I often don’t bother setting up local access, except for specific services that are critical or use a lot of bandwidth that can go locally.

    Not to mention password and bookmark management, which is a little part, but it can get out of hand (I have about 50 services/front-ends).

    TLDR: Your can use cloudflare or alternatives with fallback on local for most services, if you set it up that way






  • That’s not quite what I meant.
    I’m talking about the (potential) relationship between a gov and repo maintainers, and whether that would mean less freedom for the developers, since govs are typically required to ensure tax money is spent on legitimate purposes.
    As I said though, it was just a thought. Things like research grants exist, it could work the same.
