ShieldsUP is fine. Also check out: https://www.routersecurity.org/testrouter.php

You could also just port scan yourself with something like nmap.

I use rclone to mount the Linux NAS from my Linux and Windows computers - SFTP backend is usually fine. Then I am uniformly reading/writing the NAS files as the local NAS user.

I feel that /r/programming lost a lot of volume and intensity following the API protest drama. This community seemed like a beneficiary. Even anecdotally though, I sit in a couple of language discord servers and engagement seems lower than it was a couple of years ago.

Even just watching other open source projects go through it is demoralizing to me, and I’m not a contributor.

If you can host thelounge on your LAN and access it over VPN on the go, it makes for a very nice IRC experience.

Otherwise, ssh (termux or whatever) to your irc host running irssi or weechat
