One question you always get when selfhosting is:

How do you secure your public facing services ? The answer usually is in layers. One layer I use is the firewall on my Mikrotik router that sits in front of all my selfhosted services. Another layer I use is Crowdsec which is an IDS/IPS that you can selfhost.

How it started

My server¹ that lives in Milywan’s Croissy-Beaubourg/CBO location actually has a 10G NIC, as it was one of my requirements when setting it up. Something I have never really used its full potential.

Today that changed (sort of).

Milkywan has a group chat on telegram where we talk about tech and other things between members. One of the guys there was looking for someone with a Mikrotik router “on-net” to run some bandwidth tests.

Too many bags

I am a fan of travelling, although I haven’t been able to travel much since the birth of the little one but I digress.

Back to Onebag travel: Many of us have dealt with the hassle of managing multiple, often large bags while travelling. How often have you arrived at a destination before being able to check in to your accommodation? In such cases, I usually start exploring the destination, but the challenge is dealing with large bags. Ideally, you can either A) leave your bags at your accommodation, B) find a bag storage location, or C) wait until you can check in.
