In today’s digital world, the way we share passwords and sensitive files is just as important as how we protect them. Unfortunately, too many people still rely on email, chat, or even screenshots to transmit credentials—methods that are not only outdated, but dangerously insecure.

Imagine sending a password through email. If someone gains access to that inbox weeks or even months later, the secret is still there, waiting. This is exactly why temporary links—with built-in expiration and one-time view limits—are becoming the new standard for secure sharing.

1. Intro​

In an era where digital services are integral to daily life, self-hosting emerges as a compelling alternative to relying solely on third-party providers. By deploying services on personal or organizational servers, individuals and businesses gain enhanced control over their data, ensuring it remains local and private. This autonomy allows for tailored configurations and robust security measures, aligning with specific privacy requirements. However, it's crucial to recognize that the responsibility for data protection rests with the user; without diligent security practices, self-hosted data can be vulnerable.

Therefore, while self-hosting offers significant privacy advantages, it necessitates a commitment to maintaining a secure environment to safeguard sensitive information.

It all started with the idea of ​​having a sort of big container where I can store all my backups that come from Proxmo, NAS or whatever. Here I found the solution with Minio. I integrated this part in my article about Truenas. In fact I integrated Minio right on TrueNas. click here! 😉

Cyber Security as a Service​

Cyber Security as a Service (CSaaS) is a cloud-based model where cybersecurity solutions are provided to businesses as a service by a third-party provider. Instead of maintaining in-house cybersecurity infrastructure, companies can outsource services like threat monitoring, vulnerability management, incident response, and data protection.

This scalable, subscription-based approach allows organizations to access expert-level security without needing to invest heavily in specialized tools or personnel. So, CSaaS helps improve security posture while being flexible and cost-effective, especially for small to medium-sized enterprises.

Below I have tried to outline a bit of all the roles I have found in this service 😉

The Importance of security.txt in Web Security​

In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, ensuring that vulnerabilities are discovered and addressed in a timely and responsible manner is critical. One of the most straightforward yet effective tools in promoting such transparency and responsibility is the security.txt file. This simple text file, akin to a robots.txt, offers a direct way for ethical hackers and security researchers to communicate security concerns or vulnerabilities they discover on your website.

Advanced, production process manager for Node.JS​

PM2 is a production-grade process manager for Node.js applications. It run applications in the background (as daemons), automatically restarts them if they crash, and manages multiple applications on a single server.

It not only simplifies process management but also provides a comprehensive set of advanced monitoring tools. Here’s a detailed overview based on the experience and screenshots you provided.

The free version is quite limited but I think it could be interesting.

Automating Proxmox Config Backup with Systemd and Synology Active Backup​

After reading this insightful thread on the Proxmox forum: Backup Cluster Config (pmxcfs /etc/pve), I was inspired to create an automated backup solution for my Proxmox configuration.

I decided to implement a systemd script that automates the backup of the Proxmox sqlite database that contains the cluster configuration.
Here is the script I came up with:

Everything started from my desire to create a backup solution in case the hard drives in my NAS (Synology DS220+) fail or become unusable for any reason.

After 2 years of Wordpress, I decided to switch to a static site.​

The reasons for the choice?

• Simplicity
• Speed
• Security
• MarkDown
