You’re off by an order of magnitude in these percentages.
In most places, it is legal to drive with a blood alcohol content between 0.025% and 0.08%.
Over 0.08% is a DUI.
Over 0.8% is death.
25%… you’d indeed need a thanatologist to get there.

Then ask your friend, not us, and not publicly.

Yea, I was referring to the OSI model.

A single misconfigured thing can suck real bad as you’ve seen.
Selfhosting involves lots of things that can be misconfigured or go bad.

That’s not to scare you out of it out anything, merely to congratulate you in seeking knowledge first.

Disclaimer: I’m biased towards networks because I’m a network engineer, opinions may differ.

I would say… having at least a vague grasp of layers 1-4 of the traditional network model is a decent start.
You don’t need to understand everything, but knowing a minimum will help a lot imho.

It’s hard to point you in the right direction without knowing what you already know or not.

Oracle: about the only thing I would trust less than a random Chinese company.

I’ve not had good luck finding something that gives me the confidence to go about it

Now’s a good time to make sure you have good backups.

One this that’s really hard to replace is DDoS protection.

allegedly saw Gamboa separate from the crowd of marchers in downtown Salt Lake City, move behind a wall and withdraw a rifle around 8 p.m., Redd said.

When the two men in vests confronted Gamboa with their handguns drawn, witnesses said Gamboa raised his rifle into a firing position and ran toward the crowd, said Redd.

That’s when one of the men dressed in the vests shot three rounds, hitting Gamboa and Ah Loo, said Redd. Gamboa, who police said didn’t have a criminal history, was wounded and treated before being booked into jail.

Emphasis mine. If that’s true, that could have become a mass shooting.
Still sucks to be the innocent bystander though.

I use this one:

It can usually get the status of most courriers unless they’re actively hostile against API/scraping.
Worst case you can still track status manually, or open the webpage.
It doesn’t track payment, but I don’t usually have a tracking number before paying.
I think you could technically add your own custom status entry.
I keep them as active until shipped and verified after which I mark them as completed.

Works well enough for my needs.

You can use an adapter just fine.
Or use a 5.5" drive caddy, that’s just a little drawer that slides in and out.
Real question is it you have enough SATA connectors available.

Sure, that’s why the next bit mentions domestic enemies.

Local manufacturing isn’t the goal, they’re going for grift, rug pull, collapse…

Wrong post?

This one’s going into a history book, not that this administration is gonna teach any history, but you know, eventually.

That’s basically a declaration of war against a NATO country.
The US should thus also bomb itself through article 5 when it decides to invade Greenland.

“Everybody can admit that we need to look at efficiency. It’s been a problem for decades,” Muro said. “[But] when you’re dealing with veterans, you have to be more intentional with your actions. You have to be more surgical. … It’s almost like he’s trying to tear the VA down.”

When you’re dealing with… anything… mate.
Yea, it’s almost like he’s trying to tear your whole government apart
It’s like even now he’s just bummed that it happened to him or people he knows but still doesn’t see the big fucking picture.
