Cool so not only do you need to power your local device you also need to power servers and eat up loads of internet bandwidth. Super efficient.
All so they can force you to pay a monthly subscription… Thank Gaben Valve is investing so much in Linux gaming.
No, it’s not possible unless the heat is being transferred outside of Earth and that requires a ton of energy. Also Kyle Hill did a video where he did the math and the cube required would be over 30 km^3
Cloudflare yes. Even if you aren’t using tunnels it will help obfuscate your real ip. If you are hosting personal services you can also block access from countries you don’t expect to access them from.
Also it seems most bots scanning domains are checking www and the base domain url. I recommend pointing those at a vps or something like GitHub or substack if you don’t need it for something else.
Use a reverse proxy that 404s anything besides the subdomains you are actually using. Always use wildcard certs to avoid exposing subdomains and obfuscate your subdomains for common services to make them hard to guess.
Isolate your servers from the rest of your network with vlans if possible.
You will never be fully immune so all you can do is add more layers and roadblocks.
The block feature is your friend. Use it liberally and don’t feel bad about it.
Seriously, if everyone blocked communities they disagree with or aren’t interested in instead of resorting to the old toxic behaviors that would be a huge improvement.
Yeah, that behavior is probably a holdover from how it handles running C#, C++, etc projects. Right click on the file you want to run in Solution Explorer and you should see an option to “Set as Startup Item”. The current startup item will be indicated in bold text.
VS Community edition is kind of the demo/education version of Microsoft’s paid line of IDEs. It’s been a long time since I used the community version so I can’t say if the community edition would make for a great daily driver but I use the paid version every day and it has a lot of great tools that make my work a lot easier.
Unfortunately it seems they cut some of the essential debugging tools out in the free version. The Pro/Enterprise editions are out of most folks price range so the paid line is mostly used by folks who get it through work. I guess it may still be worth giving a try if you intend to work on any of the MS developed technologies.
For personal projects I usually use VSCode. It has some unusual quirks due to being designed around extensions but those extensions really turn it into the swiss army knife of IDEs. The “Remote Development” extension especially has been great with my homelab projects as it lets me edit files on my headless Linux VMs from my Windows PC in a relatively user friendly IDE.
But you don’t need to host your local OS in the cloud to run an application in the cloud.
Edit: clarification.
