  • What are the crazy historical reasons? As far as I know, running six ttys and one graphical session, in that order, has been standard.

    The really crazy historical way to test for crashes is num/scroll/caps lock. That’s handled by a very low-level kernel driver. If those are responsive, it’s probably just your display (gpu, X, wayland, or something) that’s locked up. If they’re unresponsive, your kernel is locked up. (If you’re lucky, it’s just gotten real busy and might catch up in a minute, but I’ve only seen that happen once.)




  • Stop exposing services like these to the Internet. If you need remote access, use a VPN.

    You don’t need to own a domain either. Use a free dynamic DNS provider.

    And if you don’t need remote access, don’t bother with that at all. Just run a local DNS server with records for these services with anything under the .internal TLD. Or even just IP address.

    HTTPS can come later. It’s really not important for traffic that’s not sensitive, like no passwords or whatever.
