If you don't have a port forwarded for your torrent client, then only the people that do will be able to download from you. Unfortunately, most VPN providers don't support port forwarding.

There is a PipeWire module for ASHA. It looks like it has issues with a lot of devices though.

My windows XP install kept breaking and I got tired of fixing it, so I tried Linux and never went back.

That's ridiculous, Android has become such a bloated mess that it will run like crap on 4GB of RAM. Even the sub $250 phones had 6-8 GB earlier this year. I miss the early versions that only used a couple hundred MB at idle.

I'm glad they are bringing SD card slots back. I wish more phones would have headphone jacks and FM tuners though.

You can also use the Arduino hardware without their IDE or libraries. You just need avr-gcc, avr-libc and a makefile. The AVR microcontrollers are very easy to program. The Arduino libraries really just get in the way once you need to do anything with timers.

Cloud storage is fine for your offsite copy as long as you encrypt your data before uploading it. The problem is that a lot of people are using it as their only copy.

Yes, that's fine as long as whatever you're hosting is designed to be safely used on the internet. Just keep it up to date and only expose the stuff you need to. I would suggest setting up fail2ban to block IPs that repeatedly fail to log in though. Depending on what you're hosting, you may need bot protection, but if all they can see is a login page, they shouldn't be too much of an issue.

Just make sure you're not using an EUI64 address. That significantly narrows down the number of addresses per subnet to scan. The bots found one of my computers that was using one. It took them 3 years to find it though.

I use inleed.xyz. It's free, has IMAP/SMTP access and you can have as many accounts as you want. It's limited to 1GB of storage shared between all accounts though.

It would be better to use Anubis to try to block the bots or use Iocaine and let the bots scrape as much garbage as they want.

That's fine as long as it's a standard 1.44MB or 720K formatted disk. For anything else, you will probably need an old PC or a Greaseweazle.

If that's the case, then you should return the TV if you can or replace the WiFi antenna with a 50 ohm resistor.
