My solution is surprisingly Microsoft OneDrive, but hear me out. I have the family plan that gives you 1TB per account and you can have up to 6 in the family, giving you a total of 6TB. The thing is, I don't trust Microsoft, so I use rclone with a crypt remote that encrypts everything before it reaches OneDrive and the encryption key lives in the rclone config on my machine. Make multiple local copies of this file and you're all set. You can replicate this with any storage provider and you don't have to trust them.

No problem. I hope you found it useful. Anubis is not AI. It discerns between bots/AI scrapers and legitimate users using a combination of heuristics and a mathematical challenge, thereby protecting the website that sits behind it. Check out the documentation at: https://anubis.techaro.lol/

For auth providers, I've tried all the ones you named. Here's my brief analysis:

• Authelia - deployment and configuration is moderately complex but documentation is great and it works well with Caddy reverse proxy.
• Authentik - way too complex to deploy and configure, requires you to understand their concepts very well. I'd stay away from it.
• PocketID - super easy to deploy and configure. Passkeys are easier and arguably more secure than passwords and it supports a few methods other than passkeys.

With these services you mentioned you want to or are already hosting, you could use the following in the order they are listed:

1. Basic auth using Caddy (reverse proxy layer)
2. Anubis to ward off bots and scrapers (between reverse proxy and hosted service)
3. PocketID for auth (before service as single sign-on)

I would recommend 2 and 3 as 1 is pretty useless against a determined attacker. Anything that's on the public internet is bound to be attacked at some point, so follow best practices and perform server hardening on the host machine. Remember, you classify the sensitivity of the data you host and determine the severity of the risk if that data were to be exposed. So work with that in mind when choosing an option.

Firstly, what's your threat model - as in what are you trying to block? For SSH access, fail2ban works. For bots and scrapers, I'm not sure how effective it is. What jails have your enabled/configured for fail2ban?

I don't have your setup, but like someone else here said, I use Caddy on Docker as a reverse proxy for all my self-hosted services running in Docker containers. One really effective means of blocking AI scrapers and bots is Anubis - https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis. It might be worth a shot. It works for me.

Amazon wasn't caught doing shit. "Caught" implies there is a possibility of consequences. Two days from now nobody is going to remember this story and the world will move on and there will be no consequences for this.

I do commend the strength of his rectum for shitting while sitting in a chair. It does take great resolve to keep a straight face while doing it in a room full of people with cameras pointed at your face.

From Netflix to Nutflicks.

It is 100% to collect data and correlate online activities with a real person. Its sole purpose is to track and control people. Billionaires will stop at nothing to suck more riches out of the working class and poor.

The converse of that is also true where legitimate websites mark your order as fraud just because you used a VPN when placing the order.

This bullshit age verification doesn't solve anything. All it does is bring circumvention measures to users' attention and they go around it. Then these idiots wonder why it didn't work. It is a pointless, wasteful exercise.

I wouldn't expect nor accept any less. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree of greed.

Sperm worm.
