I'm pretty new to the whole webserver type thing, but I'd like to be able to set up a simple web server and test scripts and whatnot. I just want something simple without really going and getting any other software. So, my main concern is where I can find a guide to properly set up IIS and have it accessible to the public.

EDIT: or are there any alternatives out there that are easier to configure and are less likely to be exploited.

Alright everyone. I managed to get Abyss web server set up. However, I can't get it to show outside of my network. I am behind a router and port 80 is forwarded. I still have no luck. I have also tried port 8080 and still have had no luck. Is there anything that I should try?

    • This is the device I was referring to. At the end of the day, there really isn't a technical difference between an xbox branded handled PC, and a handheld xbox. To your later point about it not running xbox games, I do feel like that would have been a nice value add. The handheld probably has the hardware to run at a Series S level. It is really just software restrictions that prevent it.
    • This is what Jonny Ive wanted the whole time, just a glass slab with wireless charging, bluetooth for transferring and an e-Sim so there would be no buttons or ports but they wouldn't let him.
    • The 26 naming convention seems a given, now. I think they’ll go big on a UI overhaul this year to paper over the cracks of their AI offering (or lack thereof).
    • Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Pro: Get advanced security at a heavy discount by Paul Hill Home security is extremely important. If you ever get a car stolen, or someone breaks into your property, you have the crime all captured on camera making it much easier for the police to solve the crime. Now, thanks to a 28% discount from the $249.99 list price, you can grab the Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Pro for just $179.99. This Amazon product features 2K video, motion-activated LED floodlights, Two-Way Talk and Audio+, 3D motion detection, and a 110 dB security siren. Prime members can order this and get it by Father’s Day; if you aren’t a Prime member, you can start a free trial today. While it is a feature-rich product, you’ll need to buy a Ring Protect subscription plan to use some of the features such as 24/7 recording, event history, and person and package alerts. Right now, this product is at its lowest-ever price on Amazon, so if you’re interested, don’t wait until Black Friday when it’s supposedly on sale but not at its lowest price. What it does (and doesn't): Pro-level features explained You’re probably wondering why this camera has Pro in its name. That’s mainly down to features like Bird’s Eye View, Bird’s Eye Zones, and Two-Way Talk. Bird’s Eye View allows you to see where someone has been and how they got there with an aerial view; Bird’s Eye Zones lets you map out certain areas so you only get notifications about things in those zones; and Two-Way Talk is a feature that lets you talk and listen to the person and the door via the Ring app. In regards to connectivity, this Ring product supports 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi connections @ 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz. When connected using 5.0GHz, the connectivity should be very good with no lagging or intermittency. The video-related highlights include 2K video which should give you a brilliant view of the people who come onto your property; Live View which lets you see the camera’s view on Fire TV, Fire Tablet, Echo Show, and other compatible Echo devices; and color night vision which will let you see what’s happening even if it’s dark out. Should you buy it? Most of the customer reviews of the Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Pro seem to be pretty positive with praise for the easy installation. One of the commenters recommended taking out the affordable subscription to gain the extra functionality. Meanwhile someone complained that the light was attracting bugs, but this will depend on your climate. Live View is a major point to take note of if you’re already invested in the Amazon smart home ecosystem as you’ll have benefits compared to if you bought another brand of security camera.
