  • scans for open ports ran continuously since the 1990s, it was never a big deal. Also they only run on lower ports (not that it matters)

    what are you talking about killing your internet performance? You can have hundreds of thousands of scans per day (which isn’t gonna happen, you won’t even get 100) and it still won’t bog down jank cable internet from early 2000s




  • unidentified attempts are just standard internet, bots are always poking every port on every IP 24/7 for last 25 years never stopping.

    yea good luck with the ghost, otherwise there is always wordpress lol. If you’re wanting reader/viewer interaction there are only a few other than maybe just running a forum and posting .

    flatpak does indeed deduplicate. The stuff is updated to whatever is required as a dependency to whatever programs are installed. And versions are shared between applications when versions match as well…

    So I am guessing it is just like flatpak



  • Do it.

    There’s really not much that can end badly, someone gets in your network (unlikely anyone even knows it exists)? reformat all your shit. Just by knowing what a DMZ is you are already more qualified than half the people I’ve met self hosting

    do you run a business out of your house? do you run a bunch of peoples personal info? does anyone else? If you answered no to all of these then there really isn’t much that can “go wrong” you can just unplug your shit.

    hosting email also isn’t that big of a deal but your home ISP will block port 25, you need to have a “business” one for them to unblock it and even then sometimes have to directly request it. Things like mailcow docker make it dead easy.

    and yea as the other guy said always update your stuff




  • Surge protectors go bad just fyi. All surge protectors protect against every surge that hits a house. The surge goes everywhere at the same time and all surge protectors will suppress it. The closer it is to the “source” the better. Whole home protectors generally are for bigger surges but they do have multi types “levels” in them (there are 4 types, but these are different “types”). There are a lot of good videos on this subject on youtube


  • Yea you are right, I would say 1990s based on the wattage rating being on a metal plate embedded into that plastic. Not newer than 2000 unless it is some very specialty company.

    Yea all of them should be able to pull off because the cover cannot go on with the knob on there. However there could be a screw in the side holding it on, can’t see all the way around it. If your mom is old she might just have shit grip strength and can’t grab it to pull it off. I know plenty of older women that have what I’d consider no strength there at all, that is all forearm.









  • You need to do 2 pass encoding. You should also not use CRF. You should pick a bitrate for the file size you want. Do a first pass which analyzes the video to see which sections require more data, and then run a second pass which will give high bitrate to more action scenes and lower bitrate to the credits and slower talking scenes.

    Some action scenes require 5 times more data to look as good as a talking dinner scene, you couldn’t even notice the quality difference but the bitrate requirement is literally 5 times more.

    You also need to use the slow preset and use x265 if you’re doing this to archive the stuff forever. Do it once and do it right.
