Some sort of tunnel will work. I haven't used Cloudflare, but you can get a free VPS (virtual private server), open ports on that, and set up a tunnel with appropriate forwarding (I'd suggest WireGuard). This is what I do and it works great.

You could also look into TailScale

haven't personally used it but heard good things (it's WireGuard based).

Not sure what you mean by third party services

do you mean relying on a third party full stop, or do you mean relying on some product(s) only offered by one company?

I have a free-tier VPS, set up a WireGuard server, and port forward over that. Works great, a little bandwidth hit (VPS connection "only" ~400Mbps and my raspberry pi can get CPU-bound on a gigabit over WireGuard anyway).

While this relies on a third party in a general sense, it doesn't specifically rely on any one third party: if I want I can just spin up a VPS on a different provider, change my DNS entry, and I should be up and running.

While something like TailScale probably would work for me and possibly be more convenient, I like relying on just the basics.

Kinda reminds me of the earlier days of Linux drivers

kernel upgrade borking sound card or similar wasn't uncommon.

California here. Would trade in a heartbeat.

Voyager isn't smaller than NCC-1701-D

it was in the pool!

I suspect you can have GoDaddy use a CNAME record which points to a DDNS entry (which has an A record). I have done that with different services before.

But isn't it the legs moving backwards that propels you forwards? 🤔

I'm not going to worry about voting on election night. Because I will have voted days/weeks earlier through my state's effective vote by mail system.

Not sure if that's the type of source parent was referencing. My understanding of the consensus among certain groups is that the point of this conflict, from Iran's perspective, is to make it unappealing for Saudi Arabia to normalize relations with Israel

which may be exactly what they're getting, e.g.: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/10/14/saudi-arabia-puts-israel-deal-on-ice-amid-war-engages-with-iran-report

Is power consumption a consideration? I want my self hosted server on 24/7, so a low-power single board is much more economical for me.

Also, are resources a problem? If your game is maxing out your rig and some batch job on a self hosted service starts, that could be annoying

or it could be a non-issue, just depends on your usage both as a desktop and a server.
