If I’m on WIndows, I use MobaXterm. If I’m on Linux, I use tmux.

I’m always excited to try new stuff. You never know. A use case might develop that you didn’t think of.

I use UVR for vocal isolation. It just works, but that shouldn’t be a problem. I’ll check it out. At the worst, I’ll learn something.

Bookmarked. Thanks

Now that’s an interesting angle. I am a mediocre musician on my best day, but sometimes I incorporate phrases and lyric snippits in a piece. I wonder if I could use WhisperX to find those words or phrases from a stack of songs. For instance, I did a piece that used a line from Jimi Hendrix’s ‘If 6 were 9’ where he says ‘I’m the one who’s gotta die when it’s time for me to die. So let me live my life the way I want to.’ I wonder if WhisperX could pick that out of a stack of Jimi Hendrix songs.

I’ve thought about k8s, but there is so much about Docker that I still don’t fully know.

What kind of stupid-ass question is that? LOL All kidding aside, she’s a good soul. We’re not married, we’ve just know each other for 45+ years. It just kind of clicked. She lives in her house, and I in mine, and we get together as often as possible.

I guess that’s why I am having difficulty coming up with a use case. I mean, I walk around the lab talking to myself all day long, but I think it’d be a bad idea to have a record of all those conversations. lol

I have a lady friend that does quite a good enough job of that. LOL

‘You remember back in 1979…it was a Friday at 2:11 PM, and you said…’ ‘Babe, I don’t remember what I had for breakfast yesterday.’

What would be some use cases for WhisperX? I’m struggling to envision how I would use that in a selfhosting/homelabbing environment.

Thing is, for the average consumer of the internet, they have no real concept what’s going on behind the webpage with the fancy graphics they happen to be looking at. When I try to explain to them that bots comprise conservatively 40-50% of all internet traffic which is about ~2 zettabytes per 24 hour period, they still don’t get it. And really, they don’t have to, that’s the job of sysadmin. It’s still pretty mind blowing.

I did not know Caddy could do that. TIL

Thanks

An…interesting…collection of stuff.

Meh. I know everyone is giving OP the piss, but I used to fret about this type of stuff long time ago. LOL That became a job. Then I learned a little more and realized I wasn’t being targeted specifically by some hooded specter in a dimly lit basement emphatically announcing ‘I’m in!’, but that these were bots. Sophisticated bots tho, I’ll give them that.

Not on AWS and yes I know I can’t stop port scanning and bad traffic is a thing. Doesn’t stop me from filling out the form.

On occasion, if they end up in recidive, I’ll report them to AbuseIPdb. If I did it for all attempts, I’d be as busy as a squirrel in a nut factory, because the bots are thick out in the ether. Like every minute of the day they’re out there throwing rocks at the castle wall. I had to start logrotating because logs were getting so big it was difficult to review and audit. Every so once in a while, they’ll break out the trebuchet and lob something significant, but I’ve had no breaches to date.

My servers are single user only, so buttoning things down is a little less complicated for me.

I’ve always thought about a ‘button’ on your phone that you could press and wipe an entire encrypted drive. Conversely you could have to log in at an appointed time/interval or the same scenario goes into play.

I am reminded of a Richard Pryor skit in which he tells about a football player he knew who bit the fingers off of an opponent who was trying to gouge his eyes through his helmet. When Pryor asked him why he bit the guy’s fingers off he said ‘Everything outside the mask is his. Everything inside the mask is mine.’

80K+ hires music flac - no movies - no episodes, no shows, no podcasts, no youtube

Ahh…gotcha.

VPN - I currently pay for Proton, and we use it on the FireTV, but it sucks cause it doesn’t have killswitch.

I have been using Private Internet Access so long I can’t remember when I first started but it’s been years. I’ve had great success with PIA and I never fire up a device locally without it. It does have a killswitch, advanced killswitch, split tunnel, multi-hop with shadowsocks or socks5 proxy, openVPN or Wireguard configurations, and a dedicated IP option.

I’ve tried other top name VPNs, but imho, none come up to what PIA does.
