yea I used to use a raspberry pi but it is way too slow with a massive library. and for youtube even the 4 performance is dwarfed by some random half broken laptop. I haven’t tried the pi 5 but doesn’t really matter

yea lol you gotta get some spray pesticide in there for that

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)

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.
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
- Comment on How old do you think this dimmer knob is? And how to remove it? 3 weeks ago:
Yea you are right, I would say 1990s based on the wattage rating being on a metal plate embedded into that plastic. Not newer than 2000 unless it is some very specialty company.
Yea all of them should be able to pull off because the cover cannot go on with the knob on there. However there could be a screw in the side holding it on, can’t see all the way around it. If your mom is old she might just have shit grip strength and can’t grab it to pull it off. I know plenty of older women that have what I’d consider no strength there at all, that is all forearm.
- Comment on What should I do with this patio? 3 weeks ago:
That middle slab is like 8ft away from the house there is no way it will do anything to the house foundation. Even digging like 1ft away from a house foundation won’t do anything unless you leave it there to collect tons of water for years.

Use this system and make your own traps. This is the best system www.youtube.com/watch?v=gye27aXHRsY and easiest to maintenance which is most of your time in the long run.

What is the other side, is that where the drip is? They have pressure/water output regulators. That’s the type of tube with them built in right?
- Comment on - Buy Once Software 3 weeks ago:
oh is this the proper way to link to other lemmy stuff without sending them to the other servers domain? to add the “!” in front? I’ve seen a lot of links before, which bring you to the other site. but never the “!”
- Comment on - Buy Once Software 3 weeks ago:
also nearly all of the stuff on that site looks like garbage that will do exactly what you said.

they already exist, the (software) interface is what needs work.

The blog post it links to has all the info, but it is more of a series of changes to the dictionary instead of 1 set thing
- Comment on How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now? 3 weeks ago:
I actually hope they start getting banned from reddit and make a few conservative lemmys for that reason too. The corporate centralized control is worse than them having a corner to circle jerk in. web has taken a very bad turn the last 20 years
- Comment on How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now? 3 weeks ago:
well your prayers came true

- Comment on Thunderbird plans on expanding offerings with additional services 3 weeks ago:
supporting internet freedom involves that, unfortunately. Tor has a good stance, w/e happens, happens, we’re here to make it anonymous.

They already have matrix (chat protocol) embedded too, nobody seems to notice it

The best solution today is to get actual phone / text apps working on the handhelds and just start using steamdecks etc lmao.
VOIP solutions obviously already do work.

lol you had it right, just backwards. I get the link markdown backwards too and I’ve used it 20 years!

Yea, would probably call for integrating the actual issues into git too lol
- Comment on OpenWrt Two will be a higher-performance router with 10 Gigabit LAN and WiFi 7 support - Liliputing 3 weeks ago:
more and more over the past like 5 years only. All the cisco and juniper enterprise went from like 4 ports (expected to be an entirely different network on each port and they go directly into a large switch) to having a lot more swappable port interfaces
- Comment on World Backup Day 3 weeks ago:
not sure if there’s a docker specific one, I mostly avoid docker. the volumes are accessible by anything as far as I’ve seen though so anything that does incremental backups (borg, restic, rsync, rsnapshot) should be able to do it there too?
- Comment on Which non-US domain registrar to use? 3 weeks ago:
Lol yea I figured it was some governmental reason but I see name.com etc has .be so no idea why they wouldn’t have it. Some TLDs have specific restrictions and only allow certain sites to resell it
- Comment on How to secure Jellyfin hosted over the internet? 3 weeks ago:
they don’t have to figure it out, you are the one running it
- Comment on World Backup Day 3 weeks ago:
If you’re doing incremental backups it should be nearly instant if nothing changes. But yea ignoring garbage like cache is always nice
I don’t consider it excessive since stuff like rsync -a --inplace --delete on a giant directory will be nearly instant if nothing changed, even with terabytes of data (of smallish files) since it isn’t going to copy anything except changed things.
borg used to have an issue where it took forever even with nothing changed but it looks like it is mostly fixed so not an issue now. I moved to restic backup years ago though (which is basically borg without those issues) also proxmox has the proxmox backup server that does similar for all the vps/containers
- Comment on Update Synapse ASAP, there is a high severity vulnerability which malicious actors could use to prevent your homeserver from federating with other servers 3 weeks ago:
been running it 7 years and it really isn’t that much of an issue. Conduit unfortunately likely has a lot of things unseen since the user base is so small.
I still wish migration was easy because I’d change to dendrite
