I set it up to open the port for few secs via port knocking. Plus another script that runs on the server that opens connections to my home ip addr doing reverse lookup to a domain my router updates via dyndns so devices at my home don’t need to port knock to connect.

This seems hand-wavy - like you're not aware of any plan for the future and that you're comfortable with that. If I'm mistaken, what specifics have you heard?

This sounds like great joy to have working to install leadership that won't massively harm VE (for once).
But this joy would also sound ominous in the absence any such work - like you're being distracted while something awful is put in place.
At the least, I'd check out this post with news links - that this US admin has designs on VE's oil facilities.
Life is good? Your feeling about the goodness of life depends on if a powerful country captures the leader of another country?
Whatever you think of the morality and ethics of the man, the precedent, the outcome, the extrajudicial action is opening the door for less law and order in the world.
This sets a precedent that the US is back to regime change and world policing, and that went swimmingly in the past as we all know.
That's true. But a similar case could be made for many other world leaders, they just don't happen to be sitting on top of a lot of oil and/or are able to credibly defend themselves. This was never about Maduro or democracy.
I don't belittle what VE has gone thru and I accept that something awful for you has been removed from the board.
> it’s one of the reasons of what happened today.
I would clarify that the current US leadership has little/no history of taking actions that are genuinely for others' welfare. The admin continually claims it is doing good. It's a continual stream, one after the other. By the time one is debunked (and they are), ten more are issued.
This method is dividing many Americans (by design) between those who believe the stream of claims and those being overwhelmed by the mountain of debunked falsehoods.
Irrelevant, Chavez died 13 years ago, a lot has happened and changed. Maduro lost the last election hard, he wrecked the support he inherited back then
