I believe you don't get Shadowplay without it, so if you need game recording / replay without impacting performance it's worth installing. But I would recommend the nvidia app beta instead of geforce experience as it doesn't require a login.

Other than that you don't get any optimizations by installing geforce experience, other than its game settings tuner thing which doesn't work at all.

Gotcha, mine always seems to be 1GB of space usage on all my PCs so I figured that was just the default.

Yes, don’t expose Windows to the internet

It sounds like they're just exposing a game server, not windows.

Yep, every browser has a browser cache, I believe in Firefox it's set to 1GB by default? It will cache assets like JS or images on the same domain name.

Quality of their products maybe? Cloudflare feels like they put a lot of effort into their product, Google not so much with how buggy everything is and how often they just abandon products they offer.

I can't say I've seen anything like that on the webservers I've exposed to the internet. But it could vary based on the IP you have if it's a target for something already I suppose.

Frankly I’m surprised that machine I setup didn’t get hacked.

How could it if all you had was a basic webserver running?

Getting DDOSed or hacked is very very rare for anyone self hosting. DDOS doesn't really happen to random people hosting a few small services, and hacking is also rare because it requires that you expose something with a significant enough vulnerability that someone has a way into the application and potentially the server behind it.

But it's good to take some basic steps like an isolated VLAN as you've mentioned already, but also don't expose services unless you need to. Immich for example if it's just you using it will work just fine without being exposed to the internet.

Seems like a good way to do it, would be fun to try that setup myself.

You don’t even need to manually keep your battery in the 20-80 range nowadays since almost every charge controller automatically monitors temperature and adjusts charging parameters to not damage the battery.

Sort of. The charge controller will limit charging current if too far outside normal temperature ranges. But it will still charge all the way to 100% unless you manually limit that with the settings on your device.

Heck, lithium ion batteries nowadays last longest the longer they’re plugged in.

That's actually incorrect, charging a Li-ion battery to 100% is significantly worse for it than charging to 80%, and keeping it at 100% plugged in is even worse. Which is why most devices will have the option to stop charging at 80% or near there instead of going all the way to 100%.

Charging while warm is also much worse than charging below 50 degrees F or so.

It should never be needed, even when replacing the battery as that data is part of the BMS.

Calibration was a thing like 25 years ago with the awful NiCD/NiMH batteries as I remember.

Yeah matrix is even worse than discord for usability and finding things.

Just use a normal publicly readable and indexed forum like has been common for the last 30+ years, I don't understand the obsession with chat clients for this purpose.

Without a ground there is nowhere for a surge to go, permanent damage is much more likely. Surge protectors or a UPS will not protect against surges at all without a ground.

There's also no ground so the chassis may have enough voltage on it to cause a shock if you touch it. This could also damage components as they are not grounded and touching things can introduce high voltage from static electricity which will have nowhere to go.

Additionally if you have ethernet connected to it the system may end up grounding itself through the ethernet cable, if the device at the other side does have a ground, which could cause issues.

So it basically just means you have a much higher chance of damaging the parts, or injuring someone touching things.
