That duress feature is neat!!

Thanks. Have done some googling and just found out that subwoofers are extremely expensive in my country (New Zealand). E.g. subs that are $600 in the US are equivalent of $1,100 here. But then I see that DIY subs are a thing. Might look into that because I do have woodworking equipment, import the electronics and buy the MDF locally.

Didn’t really consider HDR and brightness. Lots to think about.

Does the .1 really make a difference? I’ve been running 5.0 for a few years (Micca) and 1080p dumb TV from 2015 (I don’t care for 4k) connected to a 2019 shield pro and my Unraid server. Been happy with the sound quality.

So more of a “cattle” than “pet” approach in general?

This is my favourite comment. I laughed out loud. Thank you.

The article honestly reads like it was written by an AI tool.

This is one of those things I didn’t know I needed. I have so many usb sticks lying around with various troubleshooting isos. This is a game changer.

How does that work exactly? Do you partition the USB drive and make Ventoy bootable in one partition and then put the isos on the other partition or something?

Thank you that was really informative. I paid <$50 for my IP address in 2015. My ISP has been around since 1990 so I suppose they may have been one of the lucky companies. Not sure if they do RPKI, first I’m learning of it. Maybe they’re cross subsidizing from other areas of the business. Their monthly fibre fee isn’t the most competitive but the service is reliable and haven’t had anything to complain about.

They are a little behind in speeds though. They only offer 900mbps asymmetrical max, while you can get 2, 4 and 8gbit in my area from other providers. I don’t need that kind of speed so I’m happy for now.

I don’t get the hate.

Why do some ISPs charge a monthly fee and others a one off fee? I paid one off with my ISP several years ago for my static IPv4.

If they want to transcode they’ll need a dedicated GPU in that instance because they’ll lose QuickSync.

Oh wow that catch all thing sounds like a really handy alternative to disposable emails. Thank you! I will also look into spam assassin. Logged into my VPS to remember what software I’m using - dovecot and postfix.

EDIT: installed and configured SpamAssassin. Thank you, that was easy!

Yeah I always coveted one but couldn’t justify the cost over second hand dell or lenovo SFF PCs.

I self host one of my emails on my VPS. I can’t even remember the software I used it’s been that long. One issue I have is spam. Have you found any way of controlling that?

Oh wow genuinely interesting. Thanks, I’ve learned something. I had the wrong impression.

I run 4 websites on my one VPS, and 2 websites on another more restricted cloud container service. Three wordpress, one DICOM server and viewer (radiology image database), one moodle, and one complex git mediawiki setup. Plus some sandbox stuff. Get about 10,000 unique views a day in total across all sites.

I don’t know enough about network security to run that safely nor how to get great uptime at home as I run it all single handed and my day job has little to do with computers (am a medical doctor). I do expose some docker apps to the internet that run on my home server but they are only used by friends and family.

When I’ve needed temporary simple static web pages I’ve used jekyll on github pages and found it great.

Ah OK, I might have assumed wrong then that running a server on ARM is a little trickier. Never done it. Only ever used nginx for my websites on my VPS. Don’t want to deal with the security and uptime headaches of running my websites on my home server.
