Damn, I had the popcorn ready an everything…

Heh, someone downvoted you as if they think you made that up. Can’t blame them for that assumption.

A wild lemmygrad appears.
Which instance do you choose as counter?

Depends if you’re hosting something public, or something private.

For public, a webserver is a simple start. Can be anything you want it to be, but as complexity increases, so does the amount of potential attack vectors, so keep that in mind of you’re considering adding things like WordPress and the like.

For private, a NAS and/or a simple game server is a simple and useful start.

As for how, there’s a million ways to do it, and I’m an old stubborn BOFH that still cling to the old ways of doing it (as in, no VMs, no containers), so I’ll defer to others for that.

While purpose built server hardware is always nice since it comes with some useful additions, the truth is that “any” machine will do. Old discarded PC will do just fine.

I would like to emphasize the first part of my previous comment. As I am a hillbilly occasionally cosplaying as a smart and educated person, I am incapable of exploring my statement further than just making the claim. And for that I must insist on referring to it as an hypothesis, unless someone shows me some math that it could actually work. And I hope anyone showing me said math brings the necessary crayons and puppets to explain it in a manner that I can understand.

I’m not smart enough to prove my hypothesis, nor am I smart enough to understand any proof that I am wrong, but I’m not entirely 100% convinced that dark matter exists as an attractive phenomenon inside galaxies the way it is often described.

The way I see it, it might as well be a repulsive force between galaxies. This way it could also help explain Dark Energy.

Not sure if this could instead count as meiosis. But yeah, one of the two.

Pfeffergrat erinnert?

I know you meant that a joke, but upon further research into this, I discovered that it’s actually true.

Source: I also made it up

It was reasonably common in the floppy disk era. Some games allowed you to play for a set amount of time, after which it asked you for something external to the game itself. Some examples I remember:

• Dune 2 asked for some units stats that could be found in the games manual
• Day of the Tentacle needed you to complete a battery blueprint sketch in game. The missing info could be found in the manual
• Monkey Island 2 asked for a voodoo recipe. To find the correct measurements, you had to spin two overlaid sheets to align something, which revealed a value.

All of the above could of course be copied and/or guessed, but it did at least introduce some bar of entry.

This mostly comes down to your preferences, but my rule of thumb is that everything should be on mgmt vlan for mgmt, and then you choose which of those to expose to other VLANs via secondary interfaces. This has the benefit of allowing configuration when you’re on the management vlan only, and limiting access to the service itself.

Hetzner is pretty cheap, and have datacenters all over (I mainly use the one in finland). For your usecase, a very cheap VPS shoyld do. If you want a physical machine I can recommend their server auction.

I don’t think I’ve used scroll lock since my FreeBSD days some 20 years ago.

I’ve remapped caps lock, so I use it pretty much all the time these days.

Here, after that many proven violations, the car itself would’ve been impounded.

I’m sure a lot of semiconductors can be explained via “Help, step bro, I am stuck!”

I’ve never seen an octopus spell “no” either. Presumably due to Black Swan effect.

To be fair, pelted by silt and rocks is the actual no - octopi can’t speak.

Used it in the past, and it’sa pretty alright desktop OS. It would work as a server OS, but that’s not really its main focus.

It’s debian based, so might as well go for actual debian.

High IQ scores mean you’re good at IQ tests, and that’s it.

Eons ago, when I joined the army as a conscript, the officer said I scored higher than 90% of anyone taking the test.

The test results implied that I’m smart. My life experiences prove otherwise.

I always liked putting it in D&D terms: I’m not sure if I have high INT and low WIS, or if it’s the other way around.
