I don't want to hijack the thread but isn't BentoPDF open source and does all that and more for free? https://www.bentopdf.com

For those looking for an MIT alternative, there's an embeddable solution which uses PDFium (Apache) compiled to wasm instead of MuPDF (AGPL): https://www.embedpdf.com/

There's a hosted version for quick edits: https://app.embedpdf.com/

Neither fully handles XFA, but that's a perennial struggle.

> I also enabled UFW (which I should have done ages ago)

I disrecommend UFW.

firewalld is a much better pick in current year and will not grow unmaintainable the way UFW rules can.

    firewall-cmd --persistent --set-default-zone=block
    firewall-cmd --persistent --zone=block --add-service=ssh
    firewall-cmd --persistent --zone=block --add-service=https
    firewall-cmd --persistent --zone=block --add-port=80/tcp
    firewall-cmd --reload

Configuration is backed by xml files in /etc/firewalld and /usr/lib/firewalld instead of the brittle pile of sticks that is the ufw rules files. Use the nftables backend unless you have your own reasons for needing legacy iptables.

Specifically for docker it is a very common gotcha that the container runtime can and will bypass firewall rules and open ports anyway. Depending on your configuration, those firewall rules in OP may not actually do anything to prevent docker from opening incoming ports.

Newer versions of firewalld gives an easy way to configure this via StrictForwardPorts=yes in /etc/firewalld/firewalld.conf.

Manning let me conduct an interview with Brian a few years ago for my book with them. Here is the transcript: https://freecontent.manning.com/interview-with-brian-goetz/

He was very generous with his time and there are some good insights there for aspiring developers, as well as some info about the evolution of Java which may be relevant to the more data-oriented features that have been added in recent times.

I like self hosting random stuff on docker. Ollama has been a great addition. I know it's not, but it feels on par with ChatGPT.

It works perfectly on my 4090, but I've also seen it work perfectly on my friend's M3 laptop. It feels like an excellent alternative for when you don't need the heavy weights, but want something bespoke and private.

I've integrated it with my Obsidian notes for 1) note generation 2) fuzzy search.

I've used it as an assistant for mental health and medical questions.

I'd much rather use it to query things about my music or photos than whatever the big players have planned.
