My problem - and I'm not alone - is that I really don't want to expose anything publicly. Is there a way to do this without exposing anything to the Internet?

That's essentially what I ended up having to do, but keep hoping that I've missed something.

I also find that people seem to ignore this route, assuming people are fine with public dns pointing at your home ip and http/https ports open.

A historic wave of tenant organizing is on the verge of winning renter protections that would be attached to federal loans—affecting 1 in 4 apartments. But Greystar, Blackstone, and AvalonBay are spending millions to block it....

I don't rent, I'm more likely to become a landlord.

But I'd like to know how I can get behind this.

See the comment about first past the post elections. Until that is resolved, the rest of this is essentially moot.

Specific details on what was wrong would probably help.

Dark Money - Clarence Thomas got a personal media campaign worth at least $1.8 million from conservative nonprofit groups led by lobbyist Leonard Leo, part of $1.6 billion in donated by Barre Seid to Leo. ( www.washingtonpost.com )

Leo is well-known for shepherding conservative judicial nominees, but the public relations campaign shows how he has continued to exert influence in support of right-leaning justices after helping them secure lifetime appointments....

Have to say, I've been using Linux since Slackware 95. And ChromeOS + Debian container is my favorite desktop Linux experience. I do wish a couple of things are different, but with the Android app support too and the nearly seamless Wayland integration etc it's just been so...low-maintenance. For work as a developer, etc.
