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

flatpak does indeed deduplicate. The stuff is updated to whatever is required as a dependency to whatever programs are installed. And versions are shared between applications when versions match as well…

So I am guessing it is just like flatpak

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.

Really good to see. Will be nice especially on nvme ssds. I imagine storage calls for me won’t even be noticeable at that level

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…

https://github.com/deskflow/deskflow

Yea that’s their new project they just “started funding”. Synergy used to be open source and it went closed source 10? 15? years ago.

Since then several forks have existed. Most notably https://github.com/debauchee/barrier which died a few years ago and was forked to https://github.com/input-leap/input-leap which while getting plenty of updates, and merges from the other project… never released a version for years. I think at that point synergy felt sorry for them and so they changed their repo name from synergy to deskflow https://github.com/deskflow/deskflow and now they have their open source version lol

I have to assume usage got so stagnant when close sourcing it (it’s so insanely niche software, is it not?) that they felt the need to bring it alive again.

digital rights management (drm) predates linux

damn, of all the people you’d think those guys would actually have used the .local or .config =[

I have 73 dot files in my home directory lmao

so a bunch of versions of stuff to be compatible… like what flatpak does?

that .steam is a bunch of symlinks to the .local one… which makes it even worse. they have also .steampid and .steampath.

and even worse a bunch of games are starting to add them there too.

Yea I like how a lot have moved to using .config but mozilla just moved out of there and now has a .mozilla folder outside of it… wtf… It is insanely sad.

I have actually moved my entire “user home folder”… folders out of there just because it is so ugly and unorganized. I now use /home/user/userfolders/… all my stuff like documents / videos etc in here

Yea, would probably call for integrating the actual issues into git too lol

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?
