Windows ate my bootloader when upgrading from Vista to 7

Windows will eat the bootloader every time it updates the boot partition. Which generally isn't a whole lot of the time, but it's always a surprise, that's for sure.

I continuous backup important files/configurations to my NAS. That's about it.

IMO people who redundant/backup their media are insane... It's such an incredible waste of space. Having a robust media library is nice, but there's no reason you can't just start over if you have data corruption or something. I have TB and TB of media that I can redownload in a weekend if something happens (if I even want). No reason to waste backup space, IMO.

Now this I can agree with.

Has this kid installed Linux before? Or at least some tech background?

No. I sat behind her and encouraged her to read the prompts in their entirety. She asked questions (like the difference between sys/data partitions, etc), that's basically it. I maintain that if a child can do it, anyone can. People don't read as well as they should.

Even without it, you know kids learn really well, right? Can you say the same about a 40 year old?

This is the worst excuse in the history of excuses... Quite literally pathetic.

You can't bypass age verification on YouTube.

yt-dlp still works for age verification content, but you have to pass cookies to it.

But here's the video: https://qu.ax/KsDqd.mp4

You also know that if it's set to high, it will overload the switch? Increasing it without thinking isn't smart.

You need to have an appropriately set number of global peers. You can't just "HAHA NUMBER UP!" just for the hell of it...

Traefik is a PITA.

Caddy all the way. If you build it with Docker support (or grab the prebuilt), you can use docker container names to reverse proxy using names instead of any IP addresses or ports. It's nice because if the IP updates, so does caddy. All automatically.

Here's what my caddyfile looks like;

{
        acme_dns cloudflare {key}
}

domain.dev {
        encode zstd gzip
        root * /var/www/html/domain.dev/
        php_fastcgi unix//run/php/php8.1-fpm.sock
        tls {
                dns cloudflare {key}
        }
}
*.domain.dev {
        encode zstd gzip
        tls {
                dns cloudflare {key}
        }
        @docker host docker.domain.dev
        handle @docker {
                encode zstd gzip
                reverse_proxy {portainer}
        }
        @test host test.domain.dev
        handle @test {
                encode zstd gzip
                reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:10000
        }
        @images host i.domain.dev
        handle @images {
                encode zstd gzip
                reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:9002
        }
        @proxy host proxy.domain.dev
        handle @proxy {
                encode zstd gzip
                reverse_proxy proxy
        }
        @portal host portal.domain.dev
        handle @portal {
                encode zstd gzip
                reverse_proxy portal
        }
        @ping host ping.domain.dev
        handle @ping {
                encode zstd gzip
                respond "pong!"
        }
}

DNS hosted by cloudflare but because caddy handles ACME certs, all the subdomains automatically get SSL.

I watched a 9 year old install a fully working version of Arch with no GUI...

I think you're just making it harder than it has to be... lol

EDIT: Or maybe she's 10? Not sure. But either 9 or 10.

I rawdog storage. I RAID0 and forget. huehue.

[–] Xanza@lemm.ee 10 points 6 days ago

Because there's no advantage to having this much RAM in an economy build. If you're looking to max out your mainboard RAM then you're looking for a thread ripper anyways, not some economy i9...

Depends on how many torrents you have. You have a set number of global peers. So if all of those peer slots are occupied by leechers, then you won't have any room to download anything. A way around this is torrent priorities.

Setting seeding torrents to low priority will ensure that any new torrents imported at normal priority will download without an issue. You can even set seeding torrents to high priority to ensure that they'll always seed, even if it means taking priority over your downloads.

Where are you grabbing torrents? There are many honeypots on public servers with non-working video/audio. They seed specifically to pull your IP.
