Its a tough time of year, stay strong friends!

That makes sense, although if its a severe power outage the other end might go out if they dont have a working UPS.

I've got a home battery, so its kinda like a bad UPS. Will run all day, but the switchover isnt seamless, so it hard-shuts down. Never lost any data though, so happy to keep risking it.

Babe, wake up, the new Jia Tan dropped!

Even better idea. Although if your power goes out, usually your internet goes as well, which somewhat diminishes the UPS value.

1. Yes, lots of people do this. Good idea to remove the battery if possible, or you'll have a spicy balloon eventually.
2. VPN (or cloudflare tunnel) is not a bad idea, but its not essential either, my server is publically exposed, and it largely isnt a problem. I only expose port 443 and some specific random high ports though. I wouldnt expose 22 to the internet.
3. Keep SSH, just dont expose to the internet, its always nice to have multiple ways into a box, incase one is hung or something.

Wikipedia has google translate (2006) pre-dating android (2008) by 2 years. Iphone was 2007. It has improved significantly since, but it was pretty good even then. Adequate enough to communicate with foreign language speakers. I used to use it to email a japanese penpal, and while it may not have been perfect, it was understandable even then.

I hear you, I host lots of stuff. But none I can think of would be RCE vulnerable directly from a CPU vulnerability. You could use a CPU vulnerability to privesc later, but once someone has RCE, your already pwn'd, and privesc is mostly a given anyway either way. So CPU vulnerabilities falls way down the list of things to worry about.

As long as you keep your router OS patched and up to date, CPU vulns really arent a concern.

I can't think of any typical services that you'd run on a router/home server that allow arbitrary code execution. The main risk was mostly web browsers with JavaScript, or VPS providers.

Either way, definitely unlikely for a home router.

Not dull. Try twinkly mens club. /j

The beauty of game dev, is that you can make the most cursed codebase, and as long as it works, the only person itll impact is yourself.

Also, startup costs are basically zero, there is no need for a top end PC, whatever you have now is probably good enough to start.

Exploiting those vulnerabilities via pure network traffic is borderline impossible. Most CPU exploits (meltdown et al.) require execution on the device, you can't do it via crafted network packets.

Cool, but not at all what is happening here. She spent 30 minute in a suborbital hop. Nothing here is groundbreaking or new, its just a photo-op.

Not news, marketing.

Dust off the delorean!

This is my travel router setup, might be useful for you to start from.

Probably, but raspi only has one interface, and USB network cards can be flakey. You'll also not get outstandingly fast speeds, so ifnyour on a fast fibre connection you'll struggle to hit the full speed.

Its a bad idea from a power consumption POV, your old PC will be very inefficient, and running it 24/7 as a router will rapidly add up.

Security wise, you'll be running a fairly up to date Linux or BSD based OS, so its perfectly safe.

That is a strong stance. What about clip on earings?

Or a Colorectal Surgeon.
