Then using something like fail2ban to block bad acting connections is far more effective and you even get a security benefit out of it.

Also, when a few scripts try to connect via ssh DDOS your router then something is messed up. Either a shitty router from 20 years ago or you have a Bandwidth lower than 100kbps.

Getting “hit” is nothing to worry about by automated scripts. All it does is keep your logs a little bit cleaner. Any attack you should actually worry does not care if your ssh is running on 22 or 7389.

A port is not secure or insecure. The thing that can lead to security risks is the service that answers that port.

Use strong authentication and encryption on those services and keep them up to date.

no. The default port is fine. Changing the default port does nothing for security. It only stops some basic crawler, when you are scared by crawler, then you should not host anything on the internet.

That and they are the bad guy now, not the copyright holders.

The batteries should not degrade that fast. Get a name brand like Eaton or APC or something like that similar to a Power supply, cheap devices can do harm to your expensive devices. Have a couple of setups where the batteries (lead acid) are 5+ years old and they work ok.

40MB/s is very very low even for a HDD. I would eventually debug why it’s that low.

Yes it’s possible. FS like zfs btrfs etc. support that.

Nothing i am aware of, but as i said I never tried it myself. Let me know if you find something out.

So this is just from the top of my head, there are several reddit threads about this.

You can only bulk download in 5gb (maybe 50gb) chunks. With limited speed and unreliable connections (aborted downloads etc)

Have you ever tried downloading a big size of your data? Never used it myself.

I do not backup my media. When my zfs blows up, i need to start getting everything back again. I can live with it, it is nothing important. Thanks to sonarr/radarr etc, my media will recover itself over time anyway.

Important stuff is backed up at least twice locally and 1 times off side.

Have you read upon the actual recovery experience with cloud backup personal?

It is very impractical to do a recovery from this service.

babbling off into something that made no coherent sense. It’s so stupid that I’m not putting forth to clarify to you where I differentiated the two in because it’s plainly there. Kindly go fuck yourself.

Ok.

You have to differentiate between the pirate bay and Kim dotcom. The pirate bay has not sold the access to the media like he has.

The huge difference is that he profited off of pirated media and pirate bay not. Kims incentive was always profit for himself.

No, but those vulnerabilities where there when you bought it.

Would a car have a defect that was shown 5 years later, then the manufacturer would have to recall it or offer a repair program and or money in exchange.

Since everything is proprietary you cannot even fix things like this by yourself. The manufacturer needs to be held liable.

The Ryzen 5 3600 is from 2019. The XT refreshes so Ryzen 5 3600xt from mid 2020

No just not a crappy 10gb encode.

Since the companies are not limited by media size (cd,dvd,bluray) why would they use heavy codec settings to decrease the visual experience?

Too bad, i deleted everything on reddit, would.have loved to comment on every HGST fanboy and Seagate hater i had discussions with the last few years.

TLDR buy the cheapest drive you can find (new)

This is the way.

Then just go with debian+docker. As raid software i would recommend ZFS, its a filesystem that does both and also integrity on file level. (and lots more)

I personally would only buy new ones. No matter the brand just the best TB/€ you can get.

For MB basically every Chipset gives you 4 SATA ports. You could consider picking one that Supports unbuffered ECC memory but that is not a must. If you want to Hardware Transcode in Jellyfin, then Intel is probably your best since the dGPU with Quicksync is pretty good and well supported, otherwise i would go AMD.

For 4 drives you can use most ATX cases have no recommendations here.

That is exactly what ppl like you said when SLC came out and TLC came out and QLC came out…

Look back now.
