Now that games run so well on Linux I have pretty much shut down windows in it's entirety from my life. It has been a long time coming and it feels great!

I keep a Windows partition around for special cases but I have not had to use it in a long time. Starfeild will probably force me into it for the first time in a long time. The whole Windows experience is insulting to anyone with any self respect. It has not always been this way.

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.

As a fellow owner of a floofer how do you deal with the hair mats? She will let me shave her butt which takes care of of the mats in the back and the dingleberries but she will not let me get at the ones under her legs.

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

Now THIS is something I can masturbate to.

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.
