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

It’s zipping a zip file. E

no it isn’t, zipping is lossless. encoding is lossy.

No, the specific file size is irrelevant, he’s wanting smaller file sizes. CRF is a waste of data on more than 70% of scenes in hollywood movies. You set a bitrate and let it go. This is also why virtually all music now is VBR

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

We’re talking about rust, not corroding. Rust is only iron, nothing else.

just fyi x264 and x265 are programs, written by VideoLAN organization. h264 and h265 are the codecs

And no doing that is no guarantee in visibly worse quality. Depends entirely on the video in that scenario. Plenty of them will look almost the same (though h265 is a lot blurrier than 264, I’d say h264 to h264 you’re likely to barely notice)

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

I agree. Just run it. that’s how I learned decades ago. Don’t ignore it either if you wanna get better.

The risks are just as bad as owning some amazon IoT device

yea they’ll plug in the drive and windows will popup “this drive needs to be formatted” and the rest is history

don’t even need chicken stock. If you cook the onions on bottom of pot first to brown, add chicken in and brown if you want then add all the other stuff + water. Add salt/pepper let it cook a while. This is literally how chicken stock is made. Onions + celery + carrots are called the holy trinity.

sausage & peppers & onions

just chop them up or don’t… and throw them all in. Sometimes I add sweet potato and or lentils

That’s in a quote I mean you just reply that to them lol

can also just do flatpak install steam I know there are plenty of ways to get it done

It’s pretty hilarious too, because tons of people would have more babies if they’d pay for them.

installing the easier linux distros has been easier than windows since like 2004. I never understood the “it’s hard to install” out of everything else that may be legit to complain about

the only thing I can guess is the people that say that are the people that can’t get into their bios and do not know how to reformat windows either.

can you?

damn, of all the people you’d think those guys would actually have used the .local or .config =[

I have 73 dot files in my home directory lmao

yea that’s the joke

oh you can run the https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-mpv-shim and then just install MPV

No it isn’t & I didn’t say anything about IQ.

He said

he started to realize that what he was taught simply isn’t lining up with reality.

to realize this is a man of high logic
