If they weren't on X and were reading reality-based information, they would already know the entire world hates Trump's politics, and I certainly don't blame anyone for hating the entire US in general. Too many people here will gladly hate an entire country even when they had no say in choosing their leaders, so it's only fitting to see that attitude thrown back at us.

On the other hand, the exposure that all these Trump-supporting "influencers" are foreign bot accounts is hilarious, and I love that MAGA is finally being shown exactly who they've been listening to.

Your server needs to have a static IP address. Once you have that, and have your DNS service set up, then you should be able to update your domain(s) to point to the new DNS. This new server doesn't have to be your primary DNS entry for the domain(s), but it should be one of the first two entries. And that's pretty much all you need to get started.

One other consideration is setting up the master/slave status of your DNS servers so you only have to make updates in one spot (helpful to ensure everything stays in sync). This isn't a requirement, it just makes your life easier.

Ah ok, that makes sense they can sue later. Thanks!

I'm just wondering why the fine is only $10k? Something like this where you blow someone away for no reason, you should be forfeiting all of your possessions to their surviving family since the victim will no longer be earning an income to support them.

So Trump is trying to start a civil war by starving the people that voted for him, but he's also planning on starving the troops that were supposed to support his dictatorship? Just seems to prove the theory that the only thing which will save us from this regime is Trump's own stupidity.

Oh damn, I've seen short bits of this comic on reddit, I didn't know they had a web site!

Nope, programming is like a black hole -- once you've entered the event horizon it's too late and you'll never escape.

What do you mean by "traditional cad designers" and why is that important? I'm not really sure why that is something that should matter to me?

Aww man, I knew it was only a matter of time before someone was going to "force" me to learn python. Thanks for the link, I'll take a look at this after dinner.

Another consideration... If you are a programmer type then OpenSCAD is a language-based program. I've been using it heavily for the past week designing a dual-filament extruder for my Ender 3, and last year I designed and built a utility trailer. As with anything it has its quirks, but I'm much more comfortable writing code and I always found the other GUI-oriented programs to be unintuitive.

We should start posting that 3.2% of children watching Trump on TV have developed autism, therefor Trump is using subliminal messaging and is dangerous to their kids. They may not care that a pedophile is in office, but mention subliminal messaging and they'll go crazy.

I think my suggestion would be to use the PC as a dedicated firewall, but you will need at least two ethernet ports for that (one to connect to the ISP router, and the second for internal network). This lets you learn network security and control the traffic that can actually get to your other computers. You could also set up KVM to start running virtual machines here. The idea with a VM is to keep services separate and isolated, so like one VM to manage security cameras, another VM to host a game server, another one to host sonarr/radarr/jellyfin... etc.

When you are able to expand, your second physical machine should be your NAS. Get your storage space started, share it over NFS or samba, and move your backup/security camera/sonarr VMs over to this machine for direct access to the larger storage space. Pay attention to system usage and move your VMs to balance the cpu/memory resources. Eventually you may want to get a third machine dedicated more for hosting the game servers, maybe a web server to view the security camera feeds, or whatever.

You mentioned backing up Wikipedia... Have a look at the Kiwix project, you can already get access to regular backups for a lot of information sites.
