[1840.66 → 1843.66] But Baby Buddy, I'm not so sure about that. |
[1843.78 → 1845.44] You know, that starts to get a little more niche. |
[1846.36 → 1850.20] And I hate to be the guy that just says, well, if it's big, you can use it publicly. |
[1850.30 → 1851.76] And if it's small, you should hide it. |
[1851.84 → 1855.28] But that's kind of a general rule of thumb that I follow. |
[1855.88 → 1857.62] You know, you try to figure how many eyes have been on it. |
[1857.62 → 1861.02] You know, another angle to consider is security by obscurity. |
[1861.72 → 1867.38] Now, if you think that, you know, you just have a random URL that you're using to access this service. |
[1867.58 → 1869.14] And you've put it behind a reverse proxy. |
[1869.58 → 1873.60] And probably these days you're using Let's Encrypt to generate a certificate for it. |
[1873.64 → 1875.30] So that you know that things are secure. |
[1876.12 → 1877.48] Well, I've got bad news for you, I'm afraid. |
[1877.54 → 1881.96] If you go to crt.sh and type in your domain name. |
[1881.96 → 1889.48] You'll see every single certificate that's ever been issued by Let's Encrypt for your domain name. |
[1890.10 → 1899.26] And so you think to yourself, okay, well now my super secret string that I came up with to hide this service is now out in the public domain. |
[1899.38 → 1901.82] So really, it's not secret at all. |
[1901.82 → 1906.14] One thing you could do to kind of work around that is use a wildcard certificate. |
[1907.02 → 1908.98] That would kind of sort of help. |
[1909.52 → 1912.48] Because it wouldn't, you know, publish the actual string. |
[1913.40 → 1919.92] But it just goes to show to me that, you know, security through obscurity is really not, it's an illusion. |
[1919.92 → 1929.96] Yeah, and I was going to suggest throwing it out on like a VPS like Linde and run your software there for a bit on the public internet and monitor the logs. |
[1930.10 → 1933.20] But you could run something for six months and nobody nibbles at it. |
[1933.28 → 1938.14] And then on, you know, day one of seven months, somebody nibbles on it. |
[1938.56 → 1939.78] It's tricky that way. |
[1939.78 → 1949.38] And so it really, the only way to have full peace of mind, and that's what I've opted to do here in Lady Joop's, is just to have absolutely zero outside inbound. |
[1949.92 → 1954.02] It's the only way I've found to be completely comfortable with it. |
[1954.12 → 1963.50] I don't necessarily always follow that rule myself because some services like mail servers, web servers, media streaming servers, they have to be public by their very nature. |
[1963.78 → 1969.42] So you have to hope that those just have more eyes and that they get a little more attention and that they've been a little more audited. |
[1969.76 → 1972.18] But remember, logging is your friend. |
[1972.40 → 1975.94] So if you ever suspect something weird is happening, go check your logs. |
[1976.00 → 1977.12] See if you have weird logins. |
[1977.12 → 1979.30] See if you have somebody hitting your website all the time. |
[1979.30 → 1980.36] Use Datadog. |
[1980.68 → 1980.94] Yeah. |
[1981.26 → 1981.58] Yeah. |
[1981.62 → 1983.60] Use something that will go through there and alert you. |
[1983.72 → 1985.22] That absolutely could be a good way to go. |
[1985.72 → 1989.78] It's a good question, though, listener Chris, because I'm sure it's one that people struggle with. |
[1989.82 → 1991.48] So let us know what you out there would do. |
[1991.96 → 1993.68] Self-hosted. Show slash contact. |
[1993.68 → 1996.36] Now, we have Joseph who writes in. |
[1996.42 → 2001.28] He says, I have a bunch of those Taken smart switches flashed with Yasumoto, and they work great. |
[2001.66 → 2005.04] I have a need for smart switches to replace my wall switches, though. |
[2005.40 → 2010.22] You know, for example, like my kids' closet lights, which are always left on. |
[2010.22 → 2021.38] I would also love to replace the controllers on our ceiling fans with smart devices, something that would toggle the light on and off and also set the fan to high, medium or low or even off completely. |
[2021.60 → 2026.76] My preference would be for something I can self-host, non-cloud connected, open source software. |
[2026.76 → 2032.02] Are there any devices which would actually fill this need or similar to the way the Taken smart plugs do? |
[2032.32 → 2032.88] What are your thoughts? |
[2033.36 → 2034.46] Well, this is an easy question. |
[2035.00 → 2038.62] The Shelly devices are exactly what you're looking for. |
[2038.70 → 2040.50] And I think we've talked about them on a previous episode. |
[2040.76 → 2047.32] But just to recap, they're about the size of an Oreo cookie, and they go inside the light box behind the switch. |
[2047.46 → 2049.06] So you don't change the switch itself. |
[2049.52 → 2054.42] But this little cookie size box has a relay inside it. |
[2054.84 → 2056.30] You need to do a little bit of wiring. |
[2056.30 → 2057.76] So, you know, mains voltage. |
[2058.16 → 2060.88] Be careful or get an electrician if you're not comfortable. |
[2061.62 → 2062.64] They make a few products. |
[2062.74 → 2067.62] So they make a 2.5, which will let you do up to two switches in the same box. |
[2068.16 → 2070.32] They make a single unit as well. |
[2070.46 → 2074.98] And they make a bunch of other stuff that does like rolling shutters for garage doors and all sorts of stuff. |
[2075.50 → 2078.54] So go to Shelly.cloud and check out their stuff if you're interested. |
[2078.74 → 2080.44] But it's exactly what you're looking for. |
[2080.70 → 2082.72] And you can put TAS motor on them. |
[2083.34 → 2085.06] So Mahendra writes in. |
[2085.06 → 2088.98] In the latest episode, you suggest file run for a simple file browser. |
[2089.40 → 2093.00] I wanted to suggest another minimalist alternative. |
[2093.40 → 2100.36] It's very light with no database required at GitHub.com slash file browser slash file browser. |
[2100.60 → 2101.86] God, that rolls off the tongue, doesn't it? |
[2102.28 → 2102.96] It's very simple. |
[2103.06 → 2103.58] Easy to remember. |
[2104.08 → 2104.30] Yeah. |
[2104.36 → 2108.76] It is just a web-based file browser that sits on top of a directory. |
[2108.92 → 2110.30] Each user gets their own directory. |
[2110.30 → 2112.42] And it's just a standalone app. |
[2113.08 → 2113.84] Pretty simple. |
[2114.36 → 2114.96] I like it. |
[2115.22 → 2117.16] Even easier than the one we had talked about before. |
[2117.46 → 2119.16] So I'm going to think I'm going to grab this and try it out. |
[2119.64 → 2120.16] It is nice. |
[2120.34 → 2121.58] Yeah, I tried it out before the show. |
[2121.84 → 2125.24] And I kind of wish I hadn't bothered with file run now. |
[2125.40 → 2132.46] This is, I think, my new standard kind of throw it up and forget about it remote access software. |
[2132.46 → 2133.72] So, yeah, great job. |
[2133.78 → 2134.66] Thanks for writing in, Mahendra. |
[2135.50 → 2139.54] Now, I've mentioned Showdown a couple of times on the show before as a self-hosted recipe app. |
[2139.78 → 2140.50] I still use it. |
[2140.56 → 2141.26] I still love it. |
[2141.34 → 2145.52] It stores all of my recipes in clear text files on disk. |
[2145.72 → 2146.96] But there are some alternatives. |
[2147.48 → 2149.72] And we've had a couple of listeners write in. |
[2150.08 → 2152.22] And one of them is called Tandoor Recipes. |
[2152.28 → 2153.14] What do you think of this one, Chris? |
[2153.36 → 2154.66] It looks perfect. |
[2154.66 → 2164.50] And this, if anything, would probably get me to start doing something like this because it has a planning aspect, which is useful for a guy like me. |
[2164.56 → 2168.40] I can do a little meal planning, but also has a sharing feature. |
[2168.64 → 2174.46] And it's all on a progressive web app, which means my wife and I could share it like on our phones, which I think would be really nice. |
[2174.46 → 2179.50] And then the other thing I would need is, and it does support importing from Showdown, is import. |
[2179.60 → 2187.56] And it has Showdown import as well as Nextcloud cookbook import, Mealy, paprika, saffron, and a couple of others it can import from. |
[2188.22 → 2190.46] I think it's easy to try out. |
