Not seeing why you need WordPress.
The safest way I can see to make a secure connection across an untrusted network is to use a VPN of some sort, specifically a mesh network like Wireguard or Tailscale.
Tailscale has the advantage of being almost zero config, plus has the Serve and Funnel features which provide a mechanism to allow specific traffic into your Tailscale network.
Edit: Tailscale Serve is probably what I’d use.
I started to down vote you, but with the verification stuff Bing does make sense.
Kagi doesn’t do that
My guess is kagi
After (ugh) 30 years of having PCs and many, many, drives, Seagate has been the worst.
But I’ve had WD fail too. Just not as much, and I’ve had far more WD drives. I currently have about 20 drives of varying ages, 98% of them are WD, because more of the Seagate drives have failed and been trashed.
And backup, proper backup.
My only issue with Grayjay (both Android and Windows app), is you have to manually export the videos out of Grayjay
If you try to grab the files directly, they don’t work.

Sadly I think we’ll have to take the water to them.
My current approach is building a media center for me, as a model for one I’ll send to my siblings/friends.
Besides being a media center, it’ll enable replication between them, with some backup services for laptops and phones. And some replacements for things like facebook/photo sharing, etc (and have a chat mechanism, most likely via XMPP).
And…it’ll have something like PiHole that I’ll manage centrally.
“raw dogging the Internet”… I chuckled out loud
One day, after I am done with -insert reason here-, I will have a bad ass, well thought out backup solution.
For some reason you’re “insert reason here” was dropped by lemmy. I guess a sequential less-than/greater-than messes with it.
It’s the difficulty, Plain and simple.
I knew in the late 90’s what was coming, and have tried to minimize my own exposure, but family and friends just want the convenience.
I have a friend who specializes in network and data security and he uses all the privacy-invading garbage like Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, etc, because “it’s convenient”. 🤦🏼
We need a simple, seamless solution to provide the features people want.
We have some of these things in Freedombox, CasaOS, and some OSS solutions, etc, but these are all beyond the skills of the average user. They’re even a big challenge for me, because I’m busy.
Though I’m working on a single-box solution for my family, and which provides backup to each other, media server, phone backup (mostly photos and videos), etc.
It’s pretty hard to do when phones are resistant to third party solutions.
Very good point about Agile.
As an end-user (that is, the IT staff that will be deploying/managing things), I prefer less-frequent releases. I’d love to see 1 or 2 releases a year for all software (pipe dream, I know). Once you have a handful of packages, you end up with constant change to manage.
I suspect what we end up with is early adopters embracing the frequent releases, and providing feedback/error reporting, while people like me benefit from them while choosing to upgrade less frequently.
There are about 3 apps that I’m a beta tester for, so even I’m part of that early-adopter group.
Yea, if you use Tailscale with Funnel, you get a secure connection with no config required by the web user.
