Ah, the days when it was still known as Windows Whistler, until someone leaked how it looked and everyone started calling it Teletubby Windows instead
Oh no, you!

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How much do you secure a home server that's only accessible with VPN?English
9·26 days agoMy home servers have generally a lot smaller attack surface, as only a few ports are actually routed to them, so in theoey I could get away with a more relaxed approach. But I’m also a big believer in defense-in-depth, so I follow the same rules of thumb:
- iptables (or equivalent) that drops anything incoming that isn’t wanted. It also rejects anything going out that isn’t planned for.
- any public facing service (except ssh) gets its own user
- disable root login via ssh
- ssh login with key only on any user in sudoers
If I was on my laptop and not my phone I would post a screenshot with a P just for you
Well, there’s a footnote on my end: Me taking the drives home is a bit of a grey area, as the procedures say that the drives are to be mechanically destroyed when no longer needed. It doesn’t specify needed by whom. And I do attack them with my angle grinder, so it’s in accordance with company policy.
And yes, my employer knows and is OK with it. We go through a ridiculous amount of drives due to large storage needs, so pragmatism tends to trump bureaucracy.
I usually scavenge old drives from work. On one hand they’re a bit smaller than I’d like them to be, but on the other hand they’re free except from the minor work and documentation involved in ensuring that no company related data remain.

A few days ago I aked a dev at our subcontractor if this proprietary software would in theory run on windows. Not only “yes”, but me running mint on my worklaptop was perfect, because his dev and test environment was debian, so even though the software was built to run on windows, he could easily build a version specifically for me.

Depends if you’re hosting something public, or something private.
For public, a webserver is a simple start. Can be anything you want it to be, but as complexity increases, so does the amount of potential attack vectors, so keep that in mind of you’re considering adding things like WordPress and the like.
For private, a NAS and/or a simple game server is a simple and useful start.
As for how, there’s a million ways to do it, and I’m an old stubborn BOFH that still cling to the old ways of doing it (as in, no VMs, no containers), so I’ll defer to others for that.
While purpose built server hardware is always nice since it comes with some useful additions, the truth is that “any” machine will do. Old discarded PC will do just fine.
