Tailscale is a great solution for this problem. I too run homeserver with Nextcloud and other stuff, but protected behind Tailscale (Wireguard) VPN. I can't even imagine exposing something like my family's personal data over internet, no matter how convenient it is.

But I sympathize with OP. He is not a developer and it is sad that whatever software engineers produce is vulnerable to script kiddies. Exposing database or any server with a good password should not be exploitable in any way. C and C++ has been failing us for decades yet we continue to use such unsafe stacks.

There are a lot of vulnerability categories. Memory unsafety is the origin of some of them, but not all.

You could write a similar rant about any development stack and all your rants would be 100% unrelated with your point: never expose a home-hosted service to the internet unless you seriously know your shit.
