That's all?

Or can we make some projections based on what was found so far?

In my experience, most apps that show up in a search are malicious.

Womp womp

Fine, take my upvote

And that's a different animal (moving the goalposts, which is an excellent idea, but OP didn't even think of doing this).

OP asked about exposing a local port, which is a Bad Idea 99.9% of the time, especially for someone asking why it's a risk.

Using a VPS with reverse proxy is an excellent approach to adding a layer between the real resource and the public internet.

By learning before you take on the risk.

It's not like this isn't well documented.

If OP is asking this question, he's nowhere near knowledgeable enough to take on this risk.

Hell, I've been Cisco certified as an instructor since 1998 and I wouldn't expose a port. Fuck that.

I could open a port today, and within minutes I'll be getting hammered with port scans.

I did this about 10 years ago as a demonstration, and was immediately getting thousands of scans per second, eventually causing performance issues on the consumer-grade router.

Yea, insulin is a hormone to which cells respond by metabolising glucose in the blood stream. The more insulin, the more metabolising of glucose (including fat cells).

This is part of why high glucose levels from a high-glycemic meal are problematic - as soon as our mouth or gut recognize the incoming carbohydrates, the message to release more insulin is sent, which then means increase glucose consumption, including fat cells.

The crazy thing is it doesn't even take a carb that we can metabilize - those zero calorie sweeteners apparently cause an insulin spike too, because sweetness sensitive receptors react to them, and don't realize they can't be metabolized, so still cause an insulin release.

In the early 90's a biochemist (Barry Sears) wrote a book called "The Zone", where he breaks down in layman terms how metabolism works, why more frequent, smaller meals, with minimal carbs is best for most (which diabetes docs advised in the 40's), and noted that glycemic instability is a major cause of heart disease (which docs are just now starting to recognize). Don't get any other Zone crap - that first book is the only one that's all about the biochemistry, the rest are more "use my methods, buy my tools".

I found his book because of diabetes and hypoglycemia in my family. Practically overnight symptoms for everyone improved. That was pretty convincing. Today we can predict when someone's gonna feel bad, and how long, just by what they eat - we rarely get surprise low glucose anymore.

Yea, the lab is to test for a VMware replacement, so I'll start tinkering with Kubernetes along with Proxmox and a couple others.

Yea, I like Graphene, really appreciate what they're doing. Plan to run it on my spare in a couple months.

But I also want root, Adaway, AFWall, and a few other thungs, so it's DivestOS or Lineage.

I had no idea acrylic and ISO didn't get along. Good info.

Yea, not very high for sure. Watching his shadow jump up and shrink made me cringe. His shadow was only slightly larger than the plane.

Yea, I stay on slightly older phones so I can run a well-established rom version and I can afford to keep a spare at home, both as a hot spare and for testing. Currently running Pixel 5.

With everything setup right, the home phone syncs everything constantly, only have to do a quick SMS restore and it's just like the previous phone.

How would you compare Proxmox to Kubernetes?

I'm currently running a hypervisor lab to test stuff for friends in the SMB IT space to find a replacement for VNWare. At the moment, Proxmox has the best cost/flexibility/ease of learning, but if Kubernetes is more mature, has better support, that would be a great argument for it.

I'm currently migrating all sorts of stuff to Proxmox.

Nice thing is, VM's and containers are easily copied with systems off, even did a P-to-V of an ancient Win7 machine and am reusing that hardware for Proxmox, and will run the VM in Proxmox until I get everything cleaned up and restructured.

Proxmox is a beast.
