Fake SQL Errors: Mislead attackers with false error messages or redirects, denying real data access.

LotL Mitigation: Use deceptive PowerShell or CLI scripts that mimic normal DB actions to confuse and deter attackers.

Outbound was Mailcow > Proxmox Mail Gateway > SMTP2Go > Internet

Inbound was Internet > Mailu > Proxmox MG (via Wireguard) > Mailcow.

I should have use a lighter weight Mail Transfer Agent vs a full mail stack on the Mailu side. Lesson learned.

With such an in-depth back and forth with GPT I have, sometimes frustratingly, learned the nuances of the limits behind LLMs like GPT. I know there are ways to self-host an LLM, but I'm definitely not there yet. If anyone has any self-hosting tips or tricks let me know.

So, I've had to engage with LLMs (ChatGPT in this instance), to understand what commands to use, what the syntax is, and generally how things work in the Linux world. Which is ideal because one of my final steps is to drop Microsoft altogether and switch to Linux for my personal PC.

and deleted the last of my data from OneDrive. Next set of projects is to look at self-hosting a search engine (sort of) with SearXNG, and my community has asked me to look into a private (self hosted) Discord alternative called Spacebar. The journey continues.

If you find yourself looking for something to play, this one seems to be on a Steam sale pretty regularly. I highly recommend it.

Okay, off to do this "adult" thing.... stupid adulting... ::grumble grumble::

Icarus (www.surviveicarus.com) - I can't tell you why, but this game scratches a lot of itches. I've been enjoying the survival games recently and this one is particularly well done - though I have some issues with the NVIDIA optimization. There are survival elements, open world, mission driven, etc

Honestly, its the only tool I got. I'm pretty boring otherwise, I don't talk much, not particularly witty... all those things. SO, gaming, I've wrangled a handful of friends to meet-up fairly regularly online (via Discord for now, more on that later) and we've been really enjoying a game called...

Less ambition, more "get off my lawn" (from a personal data perspective) :-)

a self-hosted internet searching system/relay. I'm also considering self-hosting a FOSS Discord variant, Owncast - a self-hosted Twitch-like service, and Home Assistant - my Google Home replacement. There is so much more, but I need to get he basics done first and build out a maintenance workflow.

this has been a journey as it has been well over 2 decades since I set up an exchange server, let alone a containerized FOSS mail service. In the process of identifying services to self-host I came across so much that i had never considered. Once the email is done, I am likely to set up SearXNG...
