Does it actually make money for them somehow? Or does it just keep their name in the public’s collective mind?

To manage containers I use Arcane, which I can access from anywhere. Let’s me create, update, delete, basically anything Podman can do.

For other stuff I still just SSH. I have up set up that I can do it remotely (with an extra security step), but I don’t need to do it very often.

Worth noting that some security stuff is automated, eg non-breaking updates on the OS and log monitoring.

Do you have any sort of access limiting, either by whitelist (e.g. Tailscale), or blacklist (e.g. Crowd-Sec)?

Is there an alternative you suggest? I use Crowd-Sec in part because I don’t know of anything else that does the same job. That is, blocks malicious IPs without snooping on all traffic content (looking at you, Cloudflare).

I should really do a security checkup on my setup…

Yeah it probably will be pretty difficult. Google has a chokehold on it but I trust Graphene devs to find the minimum possible surface to j trace with Google while having functional RCS. And just not needing Google’s messenger app will be a huge plus for me.

I don’t mind finding alternative apps for my gallery and etc but RCS would be amazing. And I’m not sure it’s feasible for a third party app right now so Graphene itself doing it will be awesome!
