It started well ahead of actual BF, but Best Buy has 18TB Easystore drives for $200.

It would be nice if we, and apps’ developers, always knew what the vulnerabilities are. They generally exist because the developer doesn’t know about them yet, or hasn’t found a solution yet (though ideally has been transparent about that). Zero-day exploits happen. There’s always a first person or group discovering a flaw.

If being up to date and using SSL was all it took, security would be a lot simpler.

No one security measure is ever foolproof, other than taking everything offline. But multiple used in tandem make it somewhere between inconveniently and impractically difficult to breach a system.

It’s not. SSL in itself doesn’t make any exposed service safe, just safer. An updated service isn’t necessarilu free of vulnerabilities.

The difference between exposing your login page and most other services is the attack surface. If someone gets into your NAS administration, game over. You’re getting hit with ransomware or worse.

If someone gets into my Calibre Web server, for instance, my vulnerability is much more limited. That runs in a docker container that only has access to the resources and folders is absolutely needs. The paths to doing harm to anything besides my ebook library are limited.

I of course still use SSL, with my Calibre Wev behind a reverse proxy, with long complex passwords, and I’ll probably soon move it to an OATH login where I can use MFA (since it doesn’t support it natively itself). And there are more measures I could take beyond that, if I chose.

The login page to your NAS.

I’ve been playing with Joplin. The one thing I can’t decide if I like – there’s no web interface. You have to be using the app (versions are available for Mac, Windows, Linux and mobile devices).

There’s also Notes in Nextcloud.
