  <m​ilas900:matrix.org> You were talking to me I’m confused. Now is there cybersecurity risk if u run a fully open node accessible from the internet

  You can safely open port 18080 (or whatever is the p2p port if not default). Do not open 18081 unless you know what you are doing.

  m-relay
  <m​ilas900:matrix.org> And for port 18081 is it if I want to build explorer ?
• 08:41
  m-relay
  <m​ilas900:matrix.org> What can go wrong with, how dangerous?
• 09:14
  moneromooo
  An explorer will need 18081, yes. You'll want to use --restricted-rpc, since the whole RPC set is not intended for hostile use.

  I *think* it should be enough. It'll block things like mining, stopping...

  <i​mprevisto:matrix.org> oh just open your ports@ it's fine

  <g​ingeropolous:monero.social> whats the smallest / lightest linux distro that monero "just builds" on? Arch?
• 11:33
  m-relay
  <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> debian?
• 11:33
  m-relay
  <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> also Arch yeah

  <x​3cc:nope.chat> Maybe alpine? but will have to install some dependencies ofc
• 12:48
  m-relay
  <f​areve:matrix.org> Can anyone recommend a good linux distro to run on old macbooks?
• 13:18
  m-relay
  <m​ilas900:matrix.org> Can you please further explain what is the risk of opening 18081, please

  18081 could be the restricted port of your node, depending on config
• 13:29

  mooo has already answered this, how far would you like to go

  <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> Alpine is slow at update and it requires dedicated patch to build and work properly
• 14:11
  m-relay
  <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> at updating monero package i mean
• 16:10
  m-relay
  <r​avfx:xmr.mx> While patch are required there in there apk git. Did manually build 0.18.3.4 without an issues with them. Will do 0.18.4 soon

  <p​reland:monero.social> Tbh I wouldn’t recommend Alpine to someone for lightweight dev work just because of musl :(
• 19:07
  m-relay
  <r​avfx:xmr.mx> It's nice for server and stuff
• 19:07
  m-relay
  <p​reland:monero.social> Arch might be your best bet
• 19:07
  m-relay
  <p​reland:monero.social> Well, actually your better bet (the literal best bet would probably be some Linux from scratch shenanigans)
• 19:07
  m-relay
  <p​reland:monero.social> It’s a godsend for that stuff tbh
• 20:07
  m-relay
  <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> Solaris is way better just saying
