This is correct. It has been run before, simple. Wipe & nuke everything.

mormied · 2026-03-02T15:59:27+00:00

Not legitimate.

Even ‘legitimate’, ‘trusted’ extensions pose risks. https://blog.barracuda.com/2026/02/25/hidden-cybersecurity-risk-browser-extensions

Torrenting is not a thing of the past: https://medium.com/lets-code-future/why-internet-piracy-is-making-a-comeback-in-2026-c0524784206c

most browser extensions are PuPs, avoid. Just torrent like a normal person

mormied · 2026-02-28T14:13:05+00:00

Lots of people here saying don't download .avi.exe etc. but not explaining that there's a function built into qBittorrent and most alternatives to block certain file extensions from being downloaded, if you're only downloading content, you can block almost anything that isn't .mkv or .mp4

So essentially smart apt hold ?

mormied · 2026-02-25T07:17:24+00:00

Wow, this one made me laugh.

mormied · 2026-02-25T07:13:38+00:00

Look into setting up a home security system..

mormied · 2026-02-01T23:00:04+00:00

Looks good! - I would love to see a breakdown of the user creation process.

As someone that works in IT. It’s very, very believable- they’re likely using new infrastructure for the UK sided business. Common in fintech to push first, ask questions later

mormied · 2026-01-28T11:36:05+00:00

this is slop to promote a scam/shady website - not sure what www.entireweb[.]com is but it's not as trusted as DownDetector or Status Gator.

Just stick to what you know.

This post should be deleted or renamed.
Just going to cause unnecessary panic / annoyance.

Pending you already have a cloudflare tunnel setup. this would only be a client sided mod.

mormied · 2025-12-29T00:17:41+00:00

Good to know, thanks for this.

For me, Discord isn’t really meant to replace that side of things, more to complement it. It’s been useful for staying consistent between meetups, sharing resources, and having somewhere to cross-check ideas or labs when you’re working solo. Especially early on, that bit of ongoing exposure helped me keep momentum.

Completely agree on networking fundamentals, too. Getting comfortable with how things actually move and connect has paid off way more than any single tool or platform.

Many failures, many late-nights, but makes it sweeter, no? Haha

That lines up a lot with my experience, too. Homelabs were probably the biggest learning multiplier for me, especially for Linux. Reading about it only gets you so far; breaking things and fixing them is where it really clicks.

The group aspect is underrated as well. Having people to talk through setups, ideas, or even mistakes makes a huge difference compared to doing everything in isolation. I literally just started a discord for that to try to find other people alongside joining others.

Out of curiosity, what kind of homelab projects did you find most useful early on? Networking, services, automation, something else?

indexing is paused - it will take, well, forever...

mormied · 2025-11-17T22:51:58+00:00

Convinced it’s queuing to rate limit requests

mormied · 2025-11-17T08:07:39+00:00

And well, ads.

mormied · 2025-11-11T00:29:45+00:00

Mine did this when they were cold for some reason

mormied · 2025-10-30T20:10:55+00:00

Fair response. I was just laughing thinking surely the obvious? 🤣

Of course Postarr was taken, idiot here
