At what level do ISPs control ports?
I’m aware most ISPs do not allow for port 25 to be open for email use outside of business licenses, but at what level is that controlled? Can I get around that by owning my own router? Owning my own modem or ONT? Or is this just a thing they mystically control further up the pipeline that a relative layman such as myself...

best approach for less popular tv shows (edu / competitions)? usenet? something else?
I like watching things like educational tv or some competition shows if they are objective and have good sportsmanship… stuff that definitely does not appear in the top ten list, probably not the top 50 list. Assuming I should not mention show names here but will mention on DM if woul;d help....

Is APKPure Safe?
I am running a degoogled phone. The Aurora Store is extremely unreliable and Google is doing everything it can to shut it down. I have been using APKMirror so far but APKPure has a larger selection of apps, and also can be used to download apps on Obtainium whereas APKMirror can only be tracked and not dowbloaded.
Why are actors smoking in movies and tv shows?
Even if they are using fake cigarettes that smoke can’t be healthy to inhale, right?

Qbit Manage
Is anyone willing to share a docker compose and config file for a qbittorrent, qbit manage, and cross seed stack? I’m having trouble figuring out how to get them all to play nicely together.
I have a small problem with my hearing, but it's night-time right now and I'm not sure if I should go to the ER right now, or wait till morning. Advice?

Is there a community for talking about heavy topics?
There are a couple of heavy things running through my head I kinda want to get off my chest (nothing deeply personal though) and discuss with people. It’s more than just casual conversation, so I can’t post there....
With all this talk about sync's pricing...
I think now is a great time to remind everyone, like sync’s developer, Lemmy’s developers need to be paid too! The amount of time all the devs put into making lemmy exist, in my opinion, should be worth some of your money. If you can afford it, donating to the people who develop lemmy and/or the people keeping your home...

I wish that song was longer
spoilerBasically the title. That Klingon Pop (K-Pop?) was so unexpected and funny. Such a good comedic timing. But that bit was too short compared to other songs in this episode. I am a little disappointed.

Brother printer questions
My partner and I are thinking about getting a Brother laser printer for home use in the near future. How difficult is it to get a newer model working in a Linux ecosystem? Are there any specific drivers we should look into installing, if a specific driver isn't available for the model we end up getting? Any advice for connecting...
How does freelancing work these days?
I’d imagine it may work somewhat like it always has, but with some of the more technical jobs (say some web dev stuff) or the like, I’m not entirely clear on it....
