  I’ve been waiting a few weeks for my zima blade 7700 to ship. They’ve been out of stock.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to harden against SSH brute-forcing?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d get myself banned this way. I forget the -p flag at least once per week.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Risks of self-hosting a public-facing forum?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had good luck with these guys: cloudfanatic.net/pricing/

  I think they would fall in the less resources category. But they offer unlimited data transfer, and you can use any distro you want. I run slackware btw.

  This is the best advice. Heed it!

  Same, except I bought the domain through namecheap

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Real-Debrid Traffic Falls 16% in 3 Months, Anti-Piracy Action Painful But Non-Fatal * TorrentFreak⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll probably finally get around to standing up an arr stack. RD is just too easy.

  I was worried when I saw the news, but it’s had next to no impact on me. I think I only found 1 or 2 streams removed, but the 720p versions were still up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Those YouTube ads everyone hates made $10.4 billion in just three months⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, the service is worth it for me. I need the easiest process possible for my luddite wife and kindergartener’s Amazon fire tablet. I put my mom on the account too.

  But for everything else, yarrrrr.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As Sony exits, Verbatim doubles down on optical media — stable supply of discs is a "top priority" despite shrinking market⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Disc failure is the verbatim I remember, but I’m glad they’re still around. My 2008 car has a 6 disc CD changer, and I have a few retro PCs which rely on CDs too. Yes, I know I can get adapters for CF cards and the like, but doing things the old way is the whole point.

  I am hooked on the music.

  Chicagon here. Indiana is 100% the south.

  I use unbound with pi-hole inside an Ubuntu lxc container. No additional device needed.

  I think it’s a delusion of grandeur.
