The Php vulnerabilities were and are being exploited in the wild

OpenAI is realizing they might be in trouble

If you don’t secure your stuff it will be part of a bot net. Residential IPs and hardware are extremely valuable.

You need a VPN. It will cause inconveniences but the way currently have it setup is highly vulnerable to attack. I would look into something like Netbird or just a plain Wireguard VPN. If they are connecting primarily from home you could always setup a simple proxy device that forwards connections over a VPN from the local network.

Security should absolutely come first. If you can’t provide basic security I wouldn’t recommend hosting anything especially for other people.

Don’t put them on the internet. Seriously, don’t put stuff on the internet. These days critical CVEs are coming out weekly and it is unlikely that you even detect the compromise.

What is your use case? Maybe there is a better way

The NSA also does a lot of work with regards to computer security

SElinux/MAC are fantastic tools that can be used to lock down a system. Android largely hasn’t been impacted by many of the severe Linux vulnerabilities due to SElinux

Reddit has good memes simply because of the user base. If 1% of the user base posting a good meme once a year is still 4 million memes a year or about 10,000 memes a day. (Quick napkin math)

Unfortunately many people did. Lemmy is really lame most of the time.

I miss the memes and the niche knowledge

It isn’t all bots

A few years ago it had a vibrant community with tons of smart people. It is more of a echo chamber now with some memes tossed in.

Once the VC money runs out it will be less of an issue

In the meantime we are screwed

Reddit has a sense of community that is simply not on Lemmy due to its small size

Fuck reddit

Forums are where it’s at

If you like being compromised then yes

It is still massively bloated

The C++ spec is absolutely massive. Nothing says elegant like a million different ways to do something.

Python works pretty well and doesn’t have to much overhead. Sure it doesn’t have the same performance as C/C++ or Rust but most of the time you don’t need millisecond level code.

I have a soft spot for granite4.1

C++ is a lot of things but elegant and safe are not words that come to mind. C++ has far more issues than regular C.

Best option would be to use something with memory safety

Use C not C++

Or better yet, use python
