Really? I’ve seen fiber being a nice treat only in some locations. Most of them are pushing 1gig with 10gig as the new option in select areas. I haven’t heard of any 100g broad rollout as a residential connection. Heck, who can even utilize that pipe? Besides a distributed mesh type network, I think even your best CDN’s can’t dedicate more than 10g (maybe 1) to a single client. Besides, what would that cost? Holy smokes.

I need a connection that warrants a 100g firewall.

Also, cost. If I want 18 TB of data accessible from my phone or someone else’s house, how would you do that and not cost a ton of money? I can repurpose old thin clients and I needed the space anyway, so yeah.

Don’t forget, for selfhosters, the value proposition of free is always pretty strong. I have tiers of data and not everything needs to be super private at all times.

Depends what you’re putting on there. If it’s some blog that’s out there for the world to see, and if you’d like to have more traffic checking it out, then privacy isn’t your goal. Now your personal data, yeah that’s different. I have that stuff segregated.

Lucky they weren’t Seagate’s. They were impacted hard by the Floods those years. That said, I used to be a WD fanboy since HD space was $1/1MB. I don’t think there’s as much difference between them anymore.

Nothing more permanent than a temporary fix as well?

Headscale/nebula server. Something In the cloud to help NAT punch — nginx reverse proxy. I’m looking to leverage my home servers as if they were in the cloud for as little as possible.

If you didn’t specifically open ports on your router, you’re starting off pretty well. Now software on the Fedora box could be reaching out to the internet opening ports, possibly misconfigured, but that’s a much smaller attack surface.
