There are some managed tunnel alternatives but they are not cheap. At this point it’s cheaper to rent a $20/year VPS and install one of these: https://github.com/anderspitman/awesome-tunneling

I personally love frp

Edit: I have never tried it, but there’s also Tailscale Funnel https://tailscale.com/kb/1223/tailscale-funnel/

Look at the PDF carefully before sharing it. Most academic publishers put a timestamp on it that reveals who downloaded it, at least at institution level. Sometimes this is even embedded as metadata. If the PDF says anywhere “author personal copy”, please don’t share it on the author’s behalf.

This is mostly to avoid getting them into trouble.

Otherwise, go and share, authors love it!

I use it. It’s more lightweight than AdGuard, in terms of resources. I find the UI to be at the same time a worse UX but quicker to achieve things. I don’t think that they perform differently once they have the same blocklists.

I bet it is also going to be a “minimum 100 seats” kind of way. Let us know what they say!

How could one be invited to their email service? I don’t think I know anyone who’s in there.

Your requirement for a mobile iOS app makes it harder so I’ll go non-free software with my suggestion: Tap Forms. Offline first, iCloud sync, macOS and iOS apps. But no Android or Windows apps.

If you wanna keep it self-hosted, these services need an internet connection anyway, even Airtable. Just go with a Web based one that has good mobile layout.

If you have an offsite copy of your files (and not in a sync service like Dropbox) you are already in a better position than most.

Restoring from offsite takes time, even with Backblaze’s option of shipping a hard disk. You may also have data corruption troubles, companies may close all of sudden. It’s just not as convenient as local copies.

A further copy that is locally available is simply a better strategy. Adding more copies after these two is not a bad idea but you start getting hit by the law of diminishing returns.

You can actually read more about the 3-2-1 rule in a Backblaze post: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/the-3-2-1-backup-strategy/

Put.io only has torrents, though. There’s also premiumize.me which has torrents, Usenet, and some DDL. It has been a bit of hit and miss for DDL, though.

Speaking of, it’s been a while since I’ve looked at these downloaders. What are the most recent and good ones?

Technitium that I host myself. Works like a charm.

 

I self-host a SearXNG instance that is public facing. On a VPS. I share it with friends and family, and I do not mind if some strangers use it as well.

What I'm afraid of is getting my IP rate limited or even blacklisted by search engines. I would like to keep the instance public facing for UX reasons (no VPN, no SSO).

I enabled SearXNG internal limiter, which I'm not sure what it does.

Additionally, I am rate limiting at the reverse proxy level (Caddy) as follows:

rate_limit {remote.host} 10r/s
rate_limit {path.*} 50r/s

That is, 10 requests per second for a single IP address, and 50 requests per second in general. 

Would you have improvements to suggest  me, or further measures I could take?

Edit: I’m not using Cloudflare or any similar solution and I want to avoid it.

 

And it is a test, as in tradition.
