For fucks sake, let's all loan each other art and anything else without it being some absurd political response. The more cultural sharing the better. It doesn't mean we are now best buddies who will lick them off whenever they want (like we do with US), just small positive steps...

Hetzner is great as a provider, highly recommend.

I use authentik with fail2ban, crowdsec and ufw. I use netbird to act as a VPN between different servers - most services need users to login through there but have a couple on the internet. I also restrict countries to ones my clients are on and update when im going on holiday.

I use caddy as my reverse proxy with rate limits and crowdsec. I moved from NPM just to try it and liked it.

SSH is on a different port and restricted to keys only. I also setup ntfy to notify my phone if there are logins (to check it's just me).

I use unattended upgrades for security but try to upgrade frequently the servers and docker services.

I was thinking the same thing haha, with him it's yes

Interesting! Will mention that in mine too

That is really helpful, thank you!

I'm still thinking of a response too. Transparency generally is better.

My argument would mainly be that the cost is a barrier to normal people and academics looking to do research that would benefit the public. I personally wanted to do research about our local area to see how much land is publicly vs privately owned but the cost of access prohibited me from doing it. However, if I was rich I could just pay, so it's an unfair to have a unnecessary cost being in the way.

Anti-money laundering is always a good one.

We already provide company information for free so why should this be any different. If Companies House can operate in this way there is absolutely no reason why the Land Registry cannot. Submitters pay fees when submitting and that should be enough to cover the costs.

It could save on legal fees when buying a property or settling boundary disputes.

It would help businesses where the information could help them find potential clients or for infrastructure projects.

It would help leaseholders to understand who actually owns the land before having to pay solicitors to do checks. Most people go for the cheapest conveyancing so I would guess things are easily missed, especially if each request is a separate cost.

It would help renters to understand who actually owns the property they are looking to rent. Tenants often only know the Agent and have to rely on everybody acting faithfully. The cost prohibits normal renters checking but free access might mean more checks are available.

Fundamentally, we have right to know who owns what where our homes, communities, businesses, jobs and travel in between is vital to us.

For fucks sake, I read through that and missed it, what an idiot! Thank you

+1 for authentik

Can anybody find a link to the consultation and how to respond? I've looked on gov.uk consultations, the land registry website and been searching around but couldn't find the consultation the news article mentions.

Me neither! Thanks

I like sports and reading. Am I asexual or also bi?

I think Debian Server + Docker compose. Its the easiest way to get started and has the most documentation for. To me, the OS itself is the least concern - just get something maintainable. Then choose services you want from https://selfh.st/apps/ and have a go with them. Most services give you docker compose scripts so that is by far the easiest way.

If there are two of you with accounts, then I would suggest these:

• Reverse proxy (caddy, nginx, etc)
• SSO authentication (authentik, authelia etc)
• VPN for access (wireguard, netbird, tailscale etc)
• Security (fail2ban, crowdsec, etc)

On top of Home assistant and the Jellyfin / arr stack you mention, I would recommend Immich (google photos), Paperless NGX (letter scanning / management), Vaultwarden (password manager), FMD (find my device server for android phones), and SearNGX (private search engine).

Potential alternatives would be NixOS (fully scripted) and Proxmox (better containerisation but still got to decide what you install on each container, such as Debian + docker). You could also use podman instead of docker compose, which is more secure but a bit more effort to adapt to. However, if access is only through the VPN and you have two users, Debian + docker would be fine.
