If you’re genuinely worried about this, you shouldn’t be using untrusted machines for remote access.

Apache Guacamole might be a good option. “Clientless” (browser-based), supports various mfa, uses ssh/vnc/rdp on the backend.
However, if the data on that machine is sensitive, or if that machine has access to other sensitive things on your network, I’d suggest caution in allowing remote access from untrusted machines on the wider internet.

DNS is what you’re looking for. To keep it simple and in one place (your adguard instance), you can add local dns entries under Filters > DNS Rewrites in the format below:
192.xxx.x.47 plex.yourdomain.xyz
192.xxx.x.53 snapdrop.yourdomain.xyz
Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a loooong time.
What is your root filesystem installed on - lvm, zfs, or bare disk partitions? Are you booting with grub (legacy/bios) or systemd-boot (uefi)?
Can’t beat an X230 with an i5 for that use case, and you can still find them for around 100 bucks. Swap in an X220 keyboard, maybe a new battery, coreboot it, and in my opinion you’ve got the perfect laptop. I’ve daily driven that setup for the last 5 years and it’s been great.
This is just an attack that attempts common username/password combinations on ssh, and the article even states that the worm is dime-a-dozen. Unless you have both password auth enabled and an available account with an easily guessable password (and if you have either you should change that), this is nothing to worry about, even with sshd available to the internet.
Sensationalist title.
It’s still right to complain and protest about something that is unjust, even when ways to circumvent it exist. Because the next logical policy step is to ban VPNs, as many countries already have, and the solved problem becomes unsolved again.
Thank fucking god for the EU, for fighting for global digital rights where nobody else does.
I’d recommend a full battery calibration before running the command one more time, if you haven’t already (charge the battery fully, leave it on the charger at 100% for a while, then fully discharge until it shuts itself off, leave it for a bit, then fully recharge while off). If the calibrated values line up with a full:design ratio of ~80%, especially with a 10-year-old battery with almost 700 cycles on it, my take is that’s pretty great.
That said, I think the best way to get an accurate feel for the health of an old battery is to put it through one full cycle of normal use and time how long it takes to die.
