Star wars would be a very different movie

This is a very Lemmy thing to do

Damn it Dollar General you were suppost to be the good guys

The Php vulnerabilities were and are being exploited in the wild

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

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

In the meantime we are screwed

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.

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

Some of it is due to AI but much of it is people finally paying attention to security. For a long time no one thought about security vulnerabilities. These days many bugs in Linux are considered a security issue and thus gets there own CVE

I don’t want to smell your substance use

Metal gymnastics are strong with this one

There has to be more to the story

I think they are all terrible. Why compare them when we can simply do none of the above
