If you have a spare pci-e port you can get a card that adds a USB controller. Some m.2 ports also have a pci-e channel you could use with an adapter.

LetsEncrypt is a good option if you want to set it up yourself. More work than cloudflare though.

And you lose access to “your” site if they go out of business. Sounds a lot like renting, not sure where the “ownership” part comes in.

The vulnerability was discovered during a pwn2own competition. The competition was endorsed and probably sponsored by Synology. Not sure what the problem is?

OP: asks for advice about IRC

just_another_person: only stupid and lazy people use IRC

…

just_another_person: why doesn’t anyone appreciate how helpful I am?

Quoting my previous comment:

Why move an entire community to matrix if IRC works fine?

In other words, why “fix” it (and risk fragmenting the community) if it ain’t broke?

If you still don’t understand why people use IRC then we clearly didn’t make the same point, and you misunderstood mine.

People still use it for the same reason we use email… Why move an entire community to matrix if IRC works fine? Anyone who wants to use matrix can set up a bridge, anyway. And I wouldn’t consider discord a good alternative.

Be ready to replace the disk when the warranty ends.

What’s the point of replacing them? The warranty doesn’t keep them from dying, it just means you get a free replacement. The amount of life left on the drives after the warranty expires depends heavily on how they’re used, and most self hosters are pretty gentle on their drives. I could see replacing the drives that are heavily used, but replacing all drives just because their warranty expired seems like a waste of money and effort.

Only 4x? Not sure what UK rates are like, but it could easily be 10x that in the US.

It could - if a woman has a child with her own son.

Thanks for clarifying.

Still not sure what you’re talking about… Is someone going to ask IA for payment related to the zendesk email?

Are you saying the person who sent the zendesk email is going to try to get IA to hire them for something? I’m not sure I follow…

No. And it’s hard to call the zendesk one a hack, even. They just used the same credentials that were leaked a couple weeks before.

Why do you think you’d hear about it?

I’m not a CPA, but I don’t think you can write off something that already made a profit. How would that even work, if companies were able to write off predicted ad revenue? They could make up any value and never have to pay any taxes at all.

I don’t think write-offs have anything to do with them removing these episodes.

I don’t think they can write it off either way, though. It only makes sense to write off shows that haven’t made money. It’s just “retiring” when you’re taking about something that’s already been released. There’s no ulterior profit motive, unlike when they write off unreleased movies and shows.

What does this have to do with write-offs? I don’t think they can write off episodes of South Park and the daily show that have already aired.

That depends on your OPSEC.
