  • “self hosted budget management app”. Can’t you just install this type of app to your phone or pc? What’s the purpose here, will you host it and access it from a browser? Or do you only want to backup its data to your server?

    I don’t want some third party having access to all of my transaction history and knowing what I spend and where.

    I hope I don’t sound stupid please enlighten me.

    Your question isn’t stupid. There is an important decision you need to make on “is the juice worth the squeeze.” While you can selfhost a lot of stuff sometimes there’s better reasons not to. Email is primary example that gets brought up a lot. Sure you CAN self host it, but for a lot of people on this sub it’s not worth the effort required to do so.

    Each person has to make that decision for each of the things they choose to self host. Budget apps are no different.











  • In short cloudflare is both a DNS server and a reverse proxy. When you add a DNS record in there and mark it as proxy cloudflare will publish the DNS record but will instead give its own IP as the destination.

    When a visitor enters your URL instead of getting your IP they will be given Cloudflare’s IP. The visitor will then send their web request to Cloudflare. Cloudflare will then send that request to your actual IP.

    That’s the basic version. However, Cloudflare’s position as a proxy gives it the ability to inspect and act on traffic as a WAF, blocking traffic that meetings the IDS/IPS rules.



  • My wife and I each take a lot of random photos and screenshots and things we don’t want to share with each other (and we probably don’t want to be bothered with each other’s random stuff), so we don’t want to just do something like turn on Partner Sharing on Google Photos.

    You can specify what gets shared with partner sharing. My wife and I have partner sharing set up so that it automatically shares photos of our kids with each other but not anything else.
