I got some extra room in my house too

Who the fuck wants to hang out in some DRM community anyway? That would be a super weird bunch of people.

I have been mostly happy with minio but the setup and update process are a bit painful so next time I find myself annoyed with it I might have to give this a shot.

Whenever people ask me to put up right wing propaganda type shit I just say I can’t find it

To be honest it seems like a fad from 3-4 years ago and now most of them have gone out of business.

Good to know I am not the only one who does not check my mail for months

Live service huh… D.O.A to me

As long as you do not allow password logins for ssh you can let the silly idiots beat their heads against it or you could use a script to ban them. They will not brute force a properly secured ssh server.

I would be mostly annoyed about the log entries. That would be my primary motivation to ban script kiddy hack attempts.

Lemmy has the disadvantage of being opensource. In the long run this can be good for security but in the short term this gives your enemies a blueprint of your software and they know exactly how to attack you.

The only time I have every been compromised was when I was running 3rd party code open to the internet. I have been running my own code open to the internet for 20+ years and have been safe with it. I don’t think I am some kind of god coder or anything but I am mindful of best practices and most importantly I am a small fish in a big pond.

Long story short is that running popular 3rd party code open to the internet exposes you to unique threats that you should be prepared for. Subnet/vlan it, vpn it, lock it down,

I have heard that they do this but in about 2 years of having mine and doing nothing out of the ordinary they have left it alone. There was even a decent chunk of time where it was just sitting there idle. I have heard people say that having a credit card on file helps but I have never had any form of payment on file nor ever purchased anything from them.

These days I just have uptime kuma on it.

I always notice when my internet is down but when it is I always have plenty of digital entertainment that still works.

I recommend using your main Plex instance and just putting it in a separate library. It is exciting because you know eventually you will broadcast your kinky porn to all your friends and family you just do not know when. It really makes you feel alive.

It is times like these the love I have for my pikvm is renewed ever stronger.

This is one of the reasons I am very against virtualizing core foundational services like routers and NAS. It just causes way too many headaches.

I would and do. I have gig fiber which is more than enough for both my home and web service uses. The level of hardware I can bring to bear is far beyond what I could afford in a DC. Sure there are sometimes internet or power problems that you don’t usually get in a DC but they are rare and are made up for by me having physical access to my servers when something goes wrong.

Plus it’s fun.
