Most things people self host are either torrent clients, HTTP(s) or are game servers. The first one can pick a port arbitrarily. The second can do host routing. The third - some of them support SRV records so you can direct the client to an arbitrary port. It’s becoming less common to need multiple public IPv4 addresses.
It’s up to you. Things to consider:
If your recovery objectives can be met with the anticipated data size and recovery speed, then you could do RAID 0 instead of RAID 1 to get higher speeds and capacity. Just know that if you do that, you better be on top of your backups because they will be needed eventually.
Ugh but it’s acting as the SAN so I have to shut down like all my servers to run updates on it. What a PITA.
What do I care about water? I’m not dressing water for the weather, I’m dressing me.
I’ll fight you on fahrenheit. It’s very good for weather reporting. 0° being “very cold” and 100° being “very hot” is intuitive.

Idk but I wouldn’t risk it when it’s easy to encrypt stuff. Good security is done in layers.
What about a torrent? You’ll have to encrypt with 7zip or something to keep it secure, but that and qbitorrent will do the trick.
You won’t be able to upgrade to new versions when the support contract runs out, but you can install updates to the existing version as long as updates are made for it. This has always been the lifecycle for perpetual licensing. It’s good forever, but at a certain point it becomes a security risk to continue using. The difference here is they won’t sell you another perpetual license when the lifecycle is up.
They’re terminating in the sense that they won’t sell it anymore. They’re not breaking the licensing they’ve already sold (mostly, there was some fuckery with activating licensing they sold through third parties)
I had a few domains there. I migrated them to Cloudflare as soon as I saw the news that this was coming.
The kind of people still left on Twitter are not the people I want to be sharing a reddit-like community with
I’m probably gonna go cloudflare because that’s what I’ve had the best experience with besides Google Domains
I’ve heard sometimes arbitrary targets are chosen to demonstrate capabilities. It’s marketing.
