Find me a new phone with dual front facing speakers and I’ll give up my pixel 3.
- Comment on I'll handle my own data, thank you very much! 1 week ago:
At this point, I’m pretty sure all my information is already public.
With all the breaches and everyone selling information to anyone with cash, do you really think there’s a point? I didn’t have an Equifax account in 2017 but I had a credit card, cellphone, etc and I can’t opt out of my info being sent there…

If the site fails to load, they provide a mirror on their actual blog. The one linked by OP took over a second to load for me.

For what reason? Am I missing out on something?
Seems like it’s better to just pay now if you have the cash.

Yup
- Comment on What's the real danger of opening ports? 5 months ago:
It’s not so much about the ports, its about what you’re running that’s accessible to the public.
If you have a single website on 443 and SSH on 22 (or a non-standard port like 6543) you’re generally considered safe. This is 2 services and someone would need to attack one of the two to get in.
If you have a VPN on 4567 and everything behind the VPN then someone would need to hack the VPN to get in.
If you have 100 different things behind 443 then someone just needs to find a hole in one to get in.
Generally ssh, nginx, a VPN are all safe and they should be on their own ports.

NC is kind of a pain to run and tries to do far to much. I’d pick different software to run than adding addons to nextcloud.
That being said, I add contacts and calendar and use it to sync to my PC/Phone

To you test public WiFi with ZeroTier at all?
I ask because there’s a few public networks where WG won’t connect and I’m trying to find ways around it. I could always use cell data but this is more fun to me.

- Comment on Sonarr - How to troubleshoot fake downloads 8 months ago:
I know this doesn’t answer your question but I’ve never had this kind of problem with Usenet. I pay $35 USD a year and bought a couple “lifetime” memberships 6 years ago.
What others have said should help solve the problem with torrents. If you can, it might be worth getting an account with a private site.

Look at you just Roman around like this isn’t Ludacris. We need to run outta here.

- Comment on Say Hello to the World's Largest Hard Drive, a Massive 36TB Seagate 8 months ago:
In my case, 10+years ago I had 6 * 3tb Seagate disks in a software raid 5. Two of them failed and it took me days to force it back into the raid and get some of the data off. Now I use WD and raid 6.
I read 3 or 4 years ago that it was just the 3tb reds I used had a high failure rate but I’m still only buying WDs

- Comment on China New Internet ID System a Threat to Online Expression: Netizens will require IDs to go on the internet. For now this is voluntary, but there are signs it will not remain that way for long. 8 months ago:
If they ever use biometrics for this, mine are for sale. Cheap… I’d like to know what happens when I can’t use who I amas my ID because it’s public.

Looks like you got it! Congrats.
- Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP? 9 months ago:
Router gets the public IP. Login to it, find port forwarding option. You’ll pick a public port. IE 443 and forward it to a local IP:port combo, IE 192.168.0.101:443.
Then you can pick another public port and forward it to a different private IP:port combo.
If you want a subdomain, you forward one port to one host and have it do the work. IE configure Nginx to do whatever you want.

Hang on, why not open the port to jellyfin to the internet?
I have a lifetime Plex pass so its not urgent but I have a containers running emby and jellyfin to check them out. When I decide which one I planned to open it up and give people logins.
- Comment on Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately? 11 months ago:
I’m guilty of all these. I’m dyslexic and have a hard time spelling. At some point the personal dictionary on my phone learns words and I don’t get the warning anymore.
