Ngl this feels like arguing semantics.

People need to stop touting FOSS as more secure. More auditable, sure. But there are many, many examples of FOSS applications being insecure or abusive.

The bottom line is just “be wary of what apps you install period.”

“A lack of money will prevent them from doing shitty things for money!”

I get what you’re going for, but it’s likely googles money that has slowed down the enshitification process.

It’s really weird to take as pessimistic a view as possible on something that doesn’t even exist, and conclude that it’s terrible.

I could expose my IP, I was previously and really don’t have a problem with it. My IP is fairly static. It’s just more convenient to use cloudflared internal to the network and proxy the addresses.

If I can’t figure out an automated solution for this, that’s likely what I’ll do. I’m just hopeful there’s a tool out there to do this that I’m just not familiar with.

Thanks for the response regardless, I appreciate you taking the time!

I’d be fine with individual certs, the issue I’m running into is that a cloudflare proxy record requires a cert for that multi level subdomain, and they won’t handle that cert without you paying them. You can, however, upload your own cert for it.

I’m trying to find a way to automate that process, since remembering to update a cert manually every 3 months is outside my ability.

They were talking about matrix itself, not a specific option. And I’m not going to lie, having to hand hold your servers federation choices seems like a hassle. At that point why not just use a self hosted, non federated option?

LLMs can’t reason. Their blocks can be worked around trivially. Ask chat gpt if it’s a therapist, or even tell it to pretend to be one, and it will tell you it can’t impersonate people.

Yet…
