Yeah and this still wouldn’t cover something like xz-utils because I would only be aware of end user projects and not the libraries behind them. I’d have to draw up entire dependency graphs.

I was going to say that Cloudflare uses nginx but I found that’s no longer true.

F5 is American, they just had a Moscow office.

However the creator of nginx, Igor Sysoev, is Russian.

Interesting though as it shows what “hard Brexit” was. Not in the customs union, economic area or council; just yeeted all the way out.

The best part is the voting slip never defined any of it and, if taken literally, the UK would still be in the EEA.

The biggest issue most people have with it is the dynamic DNS feature, which is automatically enabled and contacts their server to create the record. If you turn this off before connecting the router to the internet, you’re probably good.

The simplified DoH client also only allows either Cloudflare or NextDNS, which aren’t the most privacy-oriented options. Still, it’s possible to set up your own.

Otherwise I’ve never heard of anything major; the devices are cheap and reliable. I’ve had one running constantly for years and only had to reboot it manually once.

Nice to know, I was pretty sure my experience was purely anecdotal.

I can anecdotally say that the more right-leaning people I know are the most anti-FOSS but I’m not sure that applies generally.

Even that comes with a caveat: the people I know disagree with it philosophically, i.e. they can’t see how it can work for the maintainer and won’t donate, yet are as happy as anyone to use something for free.

For the most part, after enabling ssh on the Pi, it’s as simple as ssh user@host. Type “yes” to approve the server fingerprints, type in your password and you have a shell.

After that, it’s more about improving security and learning tools which can help out. SSH keys replace passwords and are more difficult to brute force or phish. scp allows uploading and downloading files. Tunnels make a connection from the server and forwards it to your machine (or the reverse!) Jump hosts use tunnels to get to another SSH server.

There’s a lot of tools to learn but the first step is very straightforward.
