Wow! That is a very intriguing question, and one that I have never considered before. Just spitballing here but you could possibly use trad apps like Lynis, Greenbone, Nikto, etc. These apps often produce rather verbose and sometimes cryptic output, i know Lynis sure does. So, you could use a prompt like:

‘You are a security analyst. Review the following Nmap scan results. Identify services running outdated or potentially vulnerable versions, suggest likely CVEs, and prioritize findings by risk.’

Then use something like llama3.1:70b, mistral-nemo or deepseek-coder-v2, and pipe your security scans into your local AI. You could feed it your NGINX, docker configs, pFsense firewall rules in and ask the model to audit them.

IDK, that’s a very good question I think. It’ll be interesting to see what others have to comment.

I wonder if there’s a blogpost or something somewhere summarizing the main changes.

I bet you could use AI summarize all the changes. LOL

(and especially when old, as it likely means a standard big ATX rather than a mini-ITX)

Oh this thing is monstrous. LOL It’s a Coolermaster Cosmos II case with a EVGA Classified SRX dual CPU with 96 GB RAM. So, yeah lots of room for heat dissipation.

I’ve just recently begun my selfhosting journey so I’m not very well versed in networking

Welcome to the club dude! It will be the most frustratingly rewarding journey you undertake. LOL

Anubis or Cloudflare

Huh…that’s interesting. I just went to safereddit.com which I’m sure uses Anubis, tho the transaction is so quick I can’t 100% confirm that, but I think they do. Now, I have retro-fitted two pretty powerful, not your standard, fans in the old PC to mitigate some of that heat, along with the stock fans that I used to build it. Whereas your laptop generally utilizes one fan. I don’t know, but it intrigues me so I’ll keep a closer eye on it just out of mild curiosity.

Thanks.

Finally, these things can cause literal harm to a device

Unpack that a bit more. What are you using to determine the harm to the device? I understand the concept that heat kills, however, as someone who watches temps closely on my server and especially on my old PC, I can’t confirm that a site causes a dramatic rise in temps. I have openhardware monitor on my desktop that remains ‘always on top’ and I see very little variation from site to site as far as temps are concerned. Just curious as to how you came to that conclusion. Perhaps it’s because I lean heavily on my standalone pFsense firewall to filter traffic.

People don’t like Cloudflare, I assume, because it’s concentrating your data into one channel. They have control much like a lot of major data centers. So it’s 6 of this, half dozen of the other, and those idiosyncrasies are justified differently by different selfhosters. I would hazard a guess that all major banking institutions use Cloudflare. It’s just that ubiquitous. I use Cloudflare Tunnels/Zero Trust and I absolutely love it. Cloudflare is unavoidable on the internet.

ETA: To answer your question directly, yes lemmy.world does employ Cloudflare.

Hope you have an awesome day!

I certainly hope you do as well.

I don’t think I’m going to be spinning up a GoToSocial anytime soon, OP. But some good info none the less. Thank you for sharing.

Didn’t down vote ya, but the very forum you posted to utilizes Cloudflare. It doesn’t seem to be that nauseating.

Melisearch is integrated into Linkwarden. That’s about my extent of knowledge.

And have you found a way to have it search within PDFs?

I did look at melisearch briefly to see if I could use search engine databases in creating my own search engine just as a project because I’ve often toyed with the idea of having my own search engine, but it seemed a bit over my head. Smithsonian Libraries publish some of those databases.

Huh. That’s kind of unusual in my experience. They’re usually quite adamant about keeping you on CGNAT.

Am I crazy for thinking that?

I don’t think so. It’s one of the reasons I go overboard in my server security and monitor my pfsense logs constantly.

In the AI evolution we find ourselves in, I have long looked at the very real possibilities of AI being used in a cyber attack. It’s is an obvious tool to me to use in such attacks. I am quite certain governments are experimenting with such capabilities. Where we used to use the old wardialing and sophisticated bots to jam communications when engaged in conflict, we would replace that with AI. I think that would be a natural progression of technology. For one, AI is relentless. It can find even the most minor soft spot in the ‘armor’ as it were, when programmed to do so.

We now use AI to find vulnerabilities in software like Linux which basically underpins the entire global internet infrastructure. It would only be obvious that nefarious actors, governmental or otherwise, would also use AI. It does present a lot of issues, but I honestly do not view this as alarming in as much as I see it as a natural technological progression. All technology since the dawn of time wields a double edged sword and that is inescapable.

I’ve long said AI desperately needs governmental regulation as much as I chafe against regulation which, in the hands of government, usually devolves into over regulation. Right now, it’s a wild wild west from AI rice cookers, to cyber attacks. Some look forward to the AI bubble bursting with glee. However, all that means to me is that the pieces left will be retooled into something else as history has revealed time and time again. I don’t think it’s a fad. I don’t think it’s going away. It may evolve into something else, but at it’s basis, I think AI is here to stay regardless of grassroots opposition.

Shit, that’s terrible.

Nah bro…no worries. That’s life. My number came up on the 'ol Wheel Of Fortune. Shit happens. You either learn to be flexible or get snapped off at the ankles.

Really? Wow. You must have one heckuva set up.

That looks pretty cool.

Docker Hub pull limit 📉 not an issue for checks only for actual pulls

Has anyone actually ran into this road block? The limit is something like 100 pulls per 6 hours for unauthorized pulls. Just curious. I have some 53 containers running, but I couldn’t imagine running 100 of them. I guess there are some who do.

My hesitation in experimentation is the fact that seizures can be fatal. SUDEP as it is known. Plus, when I have a seizure, I’m down for 3 or 4 days. It’s that mentally and physically exhausting. So, I will just be envious of all you gamers and live vicariously. LOL But I really would like to play.

Have a drink libation on me

Yeah, have a drink libation on me

Just doesn’t have the same ring
