An Anonymous Coward asks:

I'm putting this under security because i'd like to keep this a private server for family:

that said, I'm wondering if you fine people can help me with the best way to set up a web server in my house to host the files on my external hard drives for family members in other cities/countries while, again, keeping it private and secure over the internet.

I'm looking into ngrok for url handling, but am not sure exactly if this is the best way to go.

Can anyone save me time and possible heartache and failure and provide me (and possibly others) with a walk-through of which software to use. Would love to do something like free, but may have to get a paid unique domain from, say, ngrok, to make it easier for family members to connect up.

Help me, Obi Wan Kenobi... you're my only hope!

    That's two, two people with the #freearistarchus sig, so if three, three people were to walk in singing a bar of Alice's Restaurant [youtube.com], they might think it's a movement! And so it is! Join the #freearistarchus movement, and submit aristarchus submissions, and shovels and rakes and implements of destruction!! Fight Officer Obie!

    You do remember what happens if only two of them do it through, right?

      Of course I do! Perhaps you are a bit young to remember what 1967 was like, Buzzard! People did what they could to avoid the draft, and stop the war. So when they don't ask, you tell, and they don't take either of you! But this is no longer an issue, so I glossed over it.

        Kinda unfortunate, that. Used to be if you weren't the type of fellow who felt serving was the thing for you, you only had to mention that you quite enjoyed it up the ass and you could go on your merry way. Nowadays though there's no dodging out even if you do get regular protein injections and have the pornhub links to prove it. Good thing there'll never ever be another draft, I guess.

          In case it hasn't been said in a while, you are a terrible human being. Whatever small positive qualities you possess are dwarfed by your tiny cock complex.

            Son, if all it takes to send you into a rage fit is a little joke, your ass is not ready for adult life or the Internet.

              By choice of her insults, my guess is that person you were replying to is not addressed as "son" by anyone.

        People did what they could to avoid the draft, and stop the war.

        ...then there were those who -didn't- want to stop the war--but did dodge the draft.

        Drumpf comes immediately to mind.
        He had "his own Vietnam", trying not to get VD while screwing co-eds and taking 4 student deferments and finally a bogus medical excuse.

        Reactionary Chickenhawk Republican Ted Nugent has bragged that he stopped bathing and wore a diaper without changing that before he reported to the Selective Service office.

    If one of the three people singing is Arlo Guthrie, it's really just two people. If you include yourself, it's not a movement.

      Walled up, like Antigone and her cousin/boyfriend Hæmon, and left to die! Oh the tragedy! Tragedy, actually comes from the Greek τραγῳδία, which originally mean "goat song". I am sure Gaaaark can appreciate the Platinuminy!

        Hey, if your boyfriend won't give up the crown when his term limit is up, he deserves to be killed and left for the crows to peck out his entrails.
