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
well they did, but now definitely not.
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 .
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
These days I find ublock as useful for blocking the stupid cookie popups as it is for ads. Honestly the cookie popups on a lot of sites are worse than their ads. The “do not track me” shit in browser should be enough for them to just auto reject all for you.
and it probably never will. Inkscape is for vector graphics, like illustrator is for vector graphics. Photoshop isn’t really for that.
I’ve been using gimp 2.99 (gimp 3.0 alpha? dev builds?) for like 5 years. glad they finally released it…
digital rights management (drm) predates linux
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 “!”
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
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
