Large data sets are valuable. And many people who hack are primarily motivated by the challenge, so targeting a site isn't always a vendetta. Unfortunately sometimes hackers stumble across these things and are motivated by money too, because they're human like the rest of us.

I'd love to hear more about this - do you do it professionally (for preventative reasons), as a side hobby, or as an attacker for malicious/selfish reasons? No judgement, genuinely curious as it takes a certain personality type to do this kind of work and I find it really interesting.
I'm confused why the IP address of a resource is changing for you when you're moving in/out of the wireguard tunnel? In my setup the LAN IP addresses always stay the same whether I'm on the local network or accessing remotely, It's just the route to them that changes (over a different ethernet adapter). Perhaps that's what you meant, or there's some crazy configs out there I'm unaware of.
Thanks for the nostalgia. Haven't seen the LHA file format in the wild for years!
I'd highly recommend joining an instance that's geographically close to you. With a low ping everything will feel much more responsive.
Q. How do you know an open source project is written in Rust?
A. Don't worry, they'll tell you.
It's up to you to make it cloudless, but Home Assistant is the only solution I know of out there that even allows this possibility. I refuse to use anything in my home that requires a third party app or cloud connection (aside from initial pairing so I can flash it with ESPHome or some other local-only firmware). Admittedly it complicates things, but the payoff is so worth it.
And it's so nice having zero dependence on the cloud. If the internet drops out, everything still works, including the mobile app.
How would you decide when a post should be hidden? Explicitly marked by the user? Upvoted or downvoted? Visited the link or comments? Just curious what the user experience should be like.
You could do what BaconReader did and name your app after a site meme ("France is Bacon"). How about 3DayNoPoopReader?
Natalie Portland OMG!!! I loved you in Store Wars and Black Duck.
It's the year of the voice for Home Assistant. Given their current trajectory, I'm hopeful they'll have a pretty darn good replacement for the most common use cases of Google Home/Alexa/Siri in another year. Setting timers, shopping list management, music streaming, doorbell/intercom management. If you're on the fence about a Nabu Casa subscription, pull the trigger as it helps them stay independent and not get bought out or destroyed by commercial interests.
