  • The DMZ is the right idea. But it’s the old way. You definitely want whatever is serving your website to be separated out from your house. You’re hosting should be on an isolated VLAN. The internet should only be able to talk to the server it needs to talk to, no other ports. That box should only be allowed to talk to what it absolutely must talk to and only on the ports that are required. You should run an independent firewall on each one of the boxes that are involved in the hosting with only the proper ports open.

    Giving up your private IP Will definitely give away your general location to everyone and your precise location to the authorities.

    I would highly recommend using cloudflare or one of the other funnel options. A lot of people don’t like cloud flare because they can capitalize on your traffic, The cloudflare also just won’t shut you down and sell you out like your ISP will at the first request, They don’t do shit about anything until there’s a warrant or a court filing. On the upside you don’t give out your private IP to anyone. You have DDOS protection, and a reasonable layer of anominity.

    You need to check daily to make sure all of your software is updated. We’re talking OS, middleware, plugins, application. Preferably via automation. All of the software and plugins you use for this type of hosting end up getting vulnerabilities.

    Security is especially difficult on forums. There’s lots of opportunities there for skilled people who are pissed off at what you or someone else is saying to get butthurt. People know exactly what you’re running, then they do some magic behind the scenes next thing you know there’s a bunch of admins you didn’t create.

    You don’t need to be hosting your own email but you are going to need an SMTP provider, most free services won’t let you masquerade the from address.

    It’s hard to read because people lack background knowledge. Man pages were horrible for my first 15 years or so.

    Once you have the skills that you hardly need to read them they’re fine.

    That’s why everyone wants to look it up on stack exchange, they want the answer, not an unending series of lessons


  • I went to NIN, Manson opened and Jim Rose Circus sideshow ran in between.

    I had shitty seats in the back corner of my mid-sized venue. There were parents all around me in the cheap seats. There were no kids with them, but they were obviously looking for their kids.

    The main floor was a sea of 90% under-aged goth chicks smoking.

    The parents were all solemn and quiet.

    Lights went down

    Spot came up, the screeching cheer of 10k girls pierced my eardums. Manson walked out on stage

    MANSON: “HOW MANY 14 YEAR OLD GIRLS WANT TO FUCK ME”

    The GA seats double down on screaming.

    All the parents went from disinterested concern to outright anger.




  • When CD burners first became affordable, I made mixes.

    150 songs. I had a disk that started with pop, moved to metal, back to easy listening and ended with classical.

    What does everyone do? Insert mp3-CD and hit shuffle.

    Megadeath: Sweating Bullets -> Grieg In the Hall of the Mountain King -> MJ Smooth Criminal


  • LOL private chat with 8 people.

    You don’t even need a Derek, all you have to do is have one of the 8 perceive that they are being wronged. One’s mate makes googly eyes at another, next thing you know, it’s all public.

    Never post anything anywhere if it ever getting out will fuck you.

    Nothing is private and you should strive to be the kind of person that doesn’t say shit about other people behind their backs.



  • This is absolutely an educational failing. We barely cover taxes in school. At best it’s said once in a class, gets covered in a minor question on a test and if we get it wrong, no one notices. “We” probably still got a B on the test without any CLUE how taxes work.

    Yet here we are, dismantling any nationwide effort to make education better.

    A LOT of people think 99,999 tax is 27,999 and 100,001 is 29,000, even on the democrat side. If those charts are accurate, it’s probably damn close to 50% of US citizens.





  • Unless I’m misreading it which is possible it’s awfully late, he said he processed 60,000 rows didn’t find what he was looking for but his hard drive overheated on the full pass.

    Discs don’t overheat because there was load. Even if he f***** up and didn’t index the data correctly (I assume it’s a relational database since he’s talking about rows) The disc isn’t just going to overheat because the job is big. It’s going to be lack of air flow or lack of heatsink.

    I guarantee you he was running on an external NVMe, and one of those little shitty-ass Chinese enclosures. Or maybe one of those self immolating SanDisk enclosures. Hell, maybe he’s on a desktop and he slept a raw NVMe on his motherboard without a heatsink

    There are times when you want a brilliant college student on your team, But you need seasoned professionals to help them through the things they’ve never seen before and never done before.
