Ensuring adequate security when hosting servers from desktop
Hi, apologies if this is wrong section if a mod can move it if they think so. I run some services from my desktop that I access over the internet. Streaming the desktop for gaming torrent UI Streaming app UI Plex Minecraft Server & UI Remote access for accessing the storage and transferring files Additionally I want to host a simple website from my PC. I've got a few ports forwarded for certain apps that won't use UPNP. I'm using YouFibre, static IP and an Eero router. Any steps I should be doing re security, I'm accessing these services simply with the IP & port relevant to the app.Windows constantly stuttering
So I was playing the battlefield 6 beta, I went to update my corsair Icue drivers in the background and the whole system blue screened and it seemed to have corrupted windows. Sometimes it would load back up sometimes it would just blue screen again. Tried doing a repair using a USB boot drive with a windows installer on. Didn't work. Whenever I would get back in to windows the stuttering would be unbearable. I have 4 Nvme ssds so I was able to get majority of the important data off of the C drive before it seems to have gone kaput. Can't see it in bios now or if I go to do a fresh install. I tried a fresh install using a partition on one of my other drives, but within minutes it started behaving exactly the same way, constant freezing and micro stutter even at idle. My system is a custom build, 14900k, z690 Aorus Xtreme board, 96gb Gskill TridentZ 6400 CL 32, RTX 5090, 9x corsair QX120 fans. Any ideas, I've troubleshooted a lot and have been tearing my hair out. Its so bad the system is practically unusable. Minded just to do a CPU motherboard upgrade to AMD, been thinking about it anyway.Windows computer Screen Calibration
I just sold a dell XPS 4K OLED and picked up a new s340 ryzen 5. I know I'm going to a much lower screen quality but its still a £500 laptop and it was so bad that I'm not sure if it's actually faulty. I have tried using the built in calibration tools for windows 10, and the AMD software and then also a paid for colour profile found online and it is getting worse and worse to the point now where I can't even get it back to where I started. Firstly I'm wondering how best to get back to default, then how best to improve upon the screen, the blacks are woefully bad, washed out and grey.Windows system suddenly unable to set Notepad as the default application for *.md files?
Today, I suddenly cannot open *.md files directly with Notepad by double-clicking them. The system prompts me to select an application, but I cannot select Notepad. I have tried modifying the file association through the default app settings, but it did not work. Currently, I can only open files manually through the Notepad menu, which is extremely inconvenient. I need your help.

Thanks for the helpHow to convert video to audio on my PC?
Recently, I've been collecting various video clips, ranging from lectures, tutorials, to personal recordings. And I've realized that having the audio versions would be incredibly useful for listening on the go. Whether it's for study purposes or simply to save space, converting these videos to audio files seems like the best solution. I'm relatively new to this and not very tech-savvy, so I'm looking for a straightforward method or software that can help me convert video to audio on Windows PC without too much hassle. If there are any common pitfalls to avoid or tips to ensure the best audio quality, I'd greatly appreciate the insights. P.S.

I've not used my laptop in about 3 months, but I was trying to use it today to restore my phone. I'm pretty sure I kept the same password and haven't changed it. I've tried every single password but it won't work. I have tried pressing F8 and going into safe mode, when I go into safe mode it doesn't come up with the administrator account it just comes up as normal and doesn't let me log in with my password.
