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
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
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 "!"
also nearly all of the stuff on that site looks like garbage that will do exactly what you said.
and yes I looked at every single program.. there aren't that many
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
Probably got all the data to train for it from the pentagon. They're known for having tons of it and a lot of their staff (more than 25%) are used to seeing it frequently.
Easily searchable, though I don't like to search for that shit, but here's 1 post if you literally add pentagon to c____ p___ in a search a million articles on DIFFERENT subjects (than this house bill) come up https://thehill.com/policy/cybersecurity/451383-house-bill-aims-to-stop-use-of-pentagon-networks-for-sharing-child/
your mom has a mountain lion?
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
