worrying my head off about security because in the old days IPv6 had some issues esp with bascially putting every device on your network on the public internet with no firewall.
learned that years ago hardware makers started defaulting to blocking all traffic from the outside when ipv6 is enabled. Once I felt comfortable just turning it on I found it pretty easy to grasp esp when the addresses stopped liking like random junk to my eyes.
Once I knew how things worked actually exposing a specific system or port set to the internet was super easy, much easier than NAT + firewall.
with my ISP. v6 unexpectedly brought a new level of privacy we had not had before. When you geolocate the IPs they show up in ISP datacenters all over the country. One day it looks like we are in VA, the next we are coming out of Seattle. We have yet to notice any speed or routing issues. IPv4 and IPv6 play well together though once you turn on v6 you might find yourself turning it on for more vlans than you planned because you want the features!
onlyfans is an app, a quick search showed a couple others, dating apps mainly, likely a couple social services that don't mention dating or sex that are actually used for that. Just have to find them.
this is the usecase i want a personal unit for. I have a Pi4 which I use mostly for Ci/CD and maint but sometimes there is just no way to easily get something to run on ARM and I'm firing up a 800watt PC or a 160watt laptop again.
IMO either of the Intel options we are discussing here will work well for you.
Just local, streams 4k fairly OK but will studder sometimes, not enough to be a problem in general but if you want a perfect image full time you might be disappointed.
Its primarily a media player and runs 8 and 16 bit emulators. Haven't tried anything more ambitious yet. It streams content from my NAS just fine. I don't think multiple users would work on it for video streaming however others uses maybe.
depends on your install method, I have linux servers I control so I setup the config and ran ansible. was running in mins. Took longer for DNS as it was a new name.
Multiple ways to skin the cat, you can use community names as well, there are also multiple lookup sites I keep a list of resources that can help you find things to sub to.
Also you need to make sure you use the link from the instance the thread is on if you use the link for any other instance it won't work.
you need to subscribe to other communities from your home instance before you see anything. The federation only syncs what your users subscribe to, this gives your more control over your content, helps prevent DoS style attacks and allows the network to grow much larger than if we tried to sync everything all the time.
first day my instance was all over the map syncing, there are a few general mismatch bugs, a couple are caching. The big one is posts on one instance not propagating to all other instances, in particularly the home instance where the thread started.
you would think it was the centralized providers marketing that moved from the word first but in reality it was the forums themselves. When you didn't want your employees wasting time on the internet you would block certain words in the URI rather than certain domains. Words like "forum" and "chat" were perma-filtered at many workplaces like reddit or some other sites are today.
Many sites migrated away from using the word "forum" initially by hacking up thier default forum installs (some of those early php apps SUCKED) years before subs.
1-letter path names became a good way to obfuscate.
you have to edit, wait for the edit to propagate and then delete
