Some protocols, like ICMP, don’t have the concept of ports at all!

Oh if they don’t even have support, yeah I would have moved away a long time ago.

Oh I thought you meant it just doesn’t reply to DDNS updates. If it doesn’t even reply to DNS queries, yeah that’s a big issue. What did their support have to say about it?

Does your IP address really change that often?

Flexibility. Maybe they get a hosting package that includes domain registration and hosting, but they can’t put anything else under that name.

Guarantee? You’d have to open it up and disable the cellular radio. The OS can override any settings you make.

I would just turn off media uploads entirely. It’s not worth the risk or disk space.

Yes, Radarr and the rest of the *arr stack.

No.

In that they’re a single organization, yes, but I’m a single person with significantly fewer resources. Non-availability is a significantly higher risk for things I host personally.

I don’t self-host it, I just use archive.org. That makes it available to others too.

Does it update if you refresh the page? You may just want to file a bug report.

Not really, no. I would use either Windows or Linux on the desktop, and run the services and the other OS in VMs.

Personally I use Windows on my desktop, and I have a Linux VM running docker containers. I use that same VM for random Linux tasks I can’t do on Windows too.

How much did you search? Because the results are pretty unambiguous, you set a custom format profile.

RAID is more likely to fail than a single disk. You have the chance of single-disk failure, multiplied by the number of disks, plus the chance of controller failure.

This is poorly phrased. A raid with a bad disk is not failed, it is degraded. The entire array is not more likely to fail than a single disk.

Yes, you are more likely to experience a disk failure, but like you said, only because you have more disks in the first place. (However, there is also the phenomenon where, after replacing a failed disk, the additional load during the rebuild might cause a second disk to fail, which is why you should replace failed disks as soon as possible. And have backups.)

With software raid, there is no controller to fail.

Well, that’s not strictly true, because you still have a SATA/SAS controller, HBA, backplane, or whatever, but they’re more easily replaceable. (Unless it’s integrated in the motherboard, but then it’s not a separate component to fail.)

No, they mean that if the controller fails, you have to get a compatible controller, not just any controller. And that usually means getting another of the exact same controller. Hopefully they’re still available to buy somewhere. And hopefully it’s got a matching firmware version.

But if you’re using mdraid? Yeah just slap those drives on any disk controller and bring it up in the OS, no problem.

Ask, sure. Sue, maybe. Commandeer extensions, absolutely not.

If they don’t like people using their open source project, they shouldn’t offer that license.

Yes, through Namecheap. Right now it’s just hosting my personal site on WordPress, but I’m going to switch that soon due to Matt Mullenweg’s drama or just take it down entirely.

Regular nginx does this just fine https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/load-balancer/tcp-udp-load-balancer/

Keep in mind that you can’t route tcp by hostname, because hostname is not a property of tcp. It only knows IP addresses. Host routing requires a protocol like HTTP.
