Alright everyone, thank you so much for your thoughtful recommendations! To sum it up, here's what I have done:

• I used let's encrypt's Certbot to get my SSL certs and setup https, auto-renew every 3 months and I setup a reminder to update Certbot every month.
• I setup a permanent redirect from http to https in Apache
• I installed a firewall on the Pi, only 80, 443 and [22 from my computer to the RPi] are open. I couldn't find the firewall settings on my router but I assume they exist since I had to forward 80 and 443 there.
• installed the following plugins: WordFence and WP Fail2Ban
• changed the user password on the pi to a better longer one

I think I should be all set, shouldn't I?

Sweet thanks! Will add that ASAP

Noted ! I’ll make sure to set https up.

Tbh, I haven’t heard the word firewall since probably 2005… would my router have a firewall built in or is that something I need to add on, let’s say, the RPi ?

What does WordFence provide that makes it a must have?

Wow lots of info. I’ll check all of this out. You have a good point that I don’t need wordpress. Hugo looks interesting, thanks for the advice!

And yes, as said above, I’ll look into the free SSL certs to setup https.

Your first point is a good point. I guess it’s ok for now if my rough location is accessible. It’s not like my art is worth anything.

Regarding upload speed, yeah I know it could become an issue but since it’s just a portfolio website, I don’t expect more than a dozen visits a month.

Thanks, I’ll look into it. I didn’t know there were free SSL certs out there

Probably a computer. I still don’t know if I want a laptop or a desktop. Still don’t know if I want to stay with Apple products or try something new. The frameworks laptops look cool but not the best bang for the buck. I also assume the tariff will kill the supply chain of spare parts which makes them attractive in the first place.

Well I’m there. If one if them joined then they would not be able to sat what I said

Non of my IRL friends are on mastodon. So there’s that.

Girl, step into any sports themed gay bar. We are still dressing like this.

Ok so I used to work for iRobot, the OG robot vacuum maker. Robot vacuums used to vacuum randomly. To make them vacuum systematically, they need to map your house. One cheap way to do that is to use a camera roughly pointing at your ceiling and do Video SLAM. The camera identifies features on your ceiling and how they are changing to know where the robot is and map the room.

I guess ecovac thought they could add a camera feed feature for free since they already had a camera on the robot.
