I think I’ll pass

Eventually they will get a security audit, right?

This is a very Lemmy thing to do

The upside with having a profile history is that it allows for transparency. Unless you are using some specialty platform there will always be an account history.

Lemmy isn’t a privacy or anonymity service.

However, it isn’t rolling out ads or other dystopian tech so it has that going for it

If you don’t secure your stuff it will be part of a bot net. Residential IPs and hardware are extremely valuable.

You need a VPN. It will cause inconveniences but the way currently have it setup is highly vulnerable to attack. I would look into something like Netbird or just a plain Wireguard VPN. If they are connecting primarily from home you could always setup a simple proxy device that forwards connections over a VPN from the local network.

Security should absolutely come first. If you can’t provide basic security I wouldn’t recommend hosting anything especially for other people.

Don’t put them on the internet. Seriously, don’t put stuff on the internet. These days critical CVEs are coming out weekly and it is unlikely that you even detect the compromise.

What is your use case? Maybe there is a better way

Cats instinctively kill birds and other small rodents. While I certainly see the appeal of outside cats the people arguing based on environmental concerns also have a point.

Additionally you should be really careful letting your cat out as it can get into something and then make you sick as a result

…by not complying with a draconian surveillance bill? Signal isn’t perfect but they are making the right call here.
