  • If you want a silent fan, I recommend you look for DC fans.You can recognize them from having more levels (eg 20 instead of 3) besides mentioning DC somewhere. The Duux fans are really small and expensive, but they sell spare parts if you are into longevity.

    I can recommend the DC variants of the Cecotech EnergySilent series if you want a normal sized standing fan from a Spanish brand that is cheaper than Duux. Their only downside is the beeping noise they make when you change the setting, as the reviews will also tell you.

    Everyone should think about threats to their data. Cloud backup and laptops better be encrypted, services with open ports be shielded. Linux viruses do exist, especially for android and routers. But also whatever system has an outdated dokuwiki open in the wild is a welcome addition to a botnet. The value of a botnet is in number of infected systems and you don’t need root access to mine monero or take part in a ddos on a machine. Linux security is sincerely undervalued. Selinux, the grsec kernel patches, chrootjail, tripwire… do exist, but are a hassle to setup and maintain. The new container options are nice (docker or flatpack) having your webbrowser contained is not a bad idea.

    Update your router, your desktop is spoiled for updates. I stop my 1 am ramblings here.
