The router says it’s reachable? Weird. I wonder if it’s a bug in the router then. Any firmware update available? You have tried just rebooting the router, right?

You could also script a reconnection on the laptop to happen every six hours or something.

TDP goes from 51 to 65 W, not much of an increase. If you have it set to throttle down when not used, I don’t think you’ll see much of a change.

Doubling the number of cores is a big performance boost. I would certainly upgrade if you’re considering 4K video, especially if you’re transcoding.

I’d also read the Jellyfin article about hardware acceleration: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/hardware-acceleration/

The only thing I can think of is to do a restore of all the backups in sequence, assuming they’re all of the same thing. That would give you one consolidated image. Then you could run some deduplication and take a new single backup, if desired.

But really it’s so subjective that I don’t think there’s really any way to automate it. I would mount all the backups, go through everything, pick out what you want to keep, and delete the rest.

Look at it this way. If you’ve had the backup for years, and never needed to restore any of those files, how likely are you ever need them in the future? Even if you did delete something you later wanted, how life-threatening would it be to not have it?

Or you could take the easy way out and just add more storage.

Because then OP wouldn’t get clicks to their blog

If you didn’t get the refund, chargeback.

I would just use a backup tool to get everything on the computer.

I am not, and this is a very small and generic community, so the members here have limited experience with less-common tools. The more background you can provide, the better.

Can you explain what exactly you’re looking for? Usually a simple database only requires simple administration, so tools like phpmyadmin and pgadmin are sufficient.

Hmm. I would probably use some kind of SATA to eSATA adapter for the least amount of purchasing.

But if you want to have small form factor compute nodes, I’d suggest replacing the dumb enclosure with a smarter (and faster) NAS or SAN. This way, you wouldn’t be relying so much on janky hacks.

If it’s self hosted, what do you need the Internet for? You host the master copy locally.

A modern firewall might also block connections to known bad sites, in case you do somehow get malware reaching out to a command & control server. Or it might identify malicious application traffic over a port that should be for a more trustworthy service.

But these are usually only a concern in places like businesses or schools where there are a lot more people, devices, etc. on the network, especially if there’s a guest network.

That’s what modern endpoint security is, really. Traditional AV is dead. There are far too many people making malware for file signatures or heuristics to keep up. Instead, you want to look for behavior on the system and on the network. For example, if a program starts reading every file it can find on the network, and changing then from their current formats to unreadable blobs, that’s probably ransomware and should be stopped. Plain old AV probably won’t catch it on the client because of how frequently it gets modified (plus all the various evasion techniques), nor on the server because nothing unusual is running on the server.

I think if there was no cert at all, the server would fail to start in the first place.

Only one service can bind to each address-port pair, as the message suggests. Either pick a different one, or use nginx to proxy the wordpress service too.

This. Batteries are to bridge the gap until the generator is running.

Well, you could download them with youtube-dl or something for later watching. I don’t know of anything that will proxy and transcode live, but even if you did that, you’d still have a loss of quality due to transcoding to a format your client supports.

Root login should be disabled, and ideally remote user auth should be key only, not password. And you should have a passphrase on your key.

If you only want to provide ssh access to one host, sure. If you want to provide other services, on multiple hosts, then you’re either making it a jump box or a proxy, while a VPN would provide direct access (or at least as defined in the firewall and routing rules).

I’ve definitely been able to send unauthenticated to my gmail address. The first few usually go to spam, but once I mark them not spam they arrive in my inbox.

I would only expose a VPN and use that to access the other services.
