If you are port forwarding. I recommend not exposing it on the default port of 25565 and instead expose it as a random port. Then, assuming you have a domain name, create an SRV record that points to your IP and port. This will cut down on the drive by scanners who scan by ports, but won’t totally eliminate it. If you do use the SRV record, your friends won’t even notice there’s a different port.

Ah yeah. Mono didn’t support WPF, but Mono did support running WinForms apps natively on Linux without using Wine.

.net core is the future but Mono is still important for running legacy .net framework applications like ones that use WinForms or WPF. That’s pretty much it. Anything new should go straight to .net core.

There’s two main ways of doing geo-based load balancing:

1. IP Any-casting - In this case, an IP address is “homed” in multiple spots and through the magic of IP routing, it arrives at the nearest location. This is exactly how 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 work. It works fine for stateless packets like DNS, however it has some risks for stateful traffic like HTTP.
2. DNS based load balancing. A server receives a request for “google.com”, looks at the IP of the DNS server and/or the EDNS Client IP in the DNS query packet and returns an IP that’s near. The problem is that when you’re doing Wireguard, it goes phone -> pi-hole (source IP is some internal IP) -> the next hop (e.g. 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8), which sees the packet is coming from your home/pi-hole’s public IP. Thus it gets confused and thinks you’re in a different location than you really are. Neither of these hops really knows your true location of your phone/mobile device.

Of course, this doesn’t matter for companies that only have one data center.

Sorry, what do you mean route it directly? Maybe I didn’t clarify well enough.

My DNS is routed over the VPN but Internet traffic is routed directly. The problem is the load balancing is done based on where the DNS server is so say Google even though the traffic egresses directly to the internet bypassing the VPN it still goes to a Google DC near my home. Not all websites do this so its not always an issue.

Yes, but if you hit a company doing DNS based load balancing, DNS is going to return an IP that’s near to your DNS server which may not be near your device. That’s going to add to the latency.

I have Wireguard and I forward DNS and my internal traffic from my phone over the VPN to my pi-hole at home. All other traffic goes directly over the Internet, not the VPN. So that means only DNS encounters higher latency.

However, because a lot of companies do DNS based geo load balancing that means even if I’m on the east coast all my traffic gets sent to the West Coast because my DNS server is located there. That right there has the biggest impact on latency.

It’s tolerable on the same continent, but once I start getting into other continents then it gets a bit slow.

Yes fiduciary duty to the shareholder is sometimes misunderstood but this is in scope.

Everything can be securities fraud:

Or just used wired connections. This is targeting wifi cameras and doorbells.

They could and clearly they should have done that but hindsight is 20/20. Software is complex and there’s a lot of places that invalid data could come in.

Do the services themselves have any logs? Do you have a reverse proxy? Does it provide any logs? 503 means something received the request and tried to pass it on so something should have logs.

Things that can be composted are usually food waste or food spoiled papers not treated with chemicals. Paper is hard to recycle because it can only recycled into lower quality paper, frequently gets contaminated, and it’s hard to seperate out from everything else.

Thus if something is compostable I believe it’s better to compost than to recycle that same material.

For those who aren’t aware. This is talking about when cell phones roam into other networks, they now encrypt the traffic back to the home provider which means law enforcement struggle to tap it (legally or illegally).

PET is privacy enhancing technologies

Interesting. I just learned about Rye today. Has anybody tried it? Does it live up to the promise?

That would be illegal. I worked on the software deployment of these devices in a store. If we increased the price, we’d automatically give the customer the lowest price in the last several hours.

The other problem was they were extremely low powered and low bandwidth and it would have killed the battery to update more than a few times a day.

NoScript enables you to enable or disable WebGL per site. If you don’t want to deal with the hassle of websites being broken, you can set the default to enable JS but disable WebGL then set applications to be trusted with WebGL.

Accidentally typo your password and get blocked. And if you’re tunneling over tor, you’ve blocked 127.0.0.1 which means now nobody can login.

Paperless does support defining a folder structure that you can use to organize documents within that paperless media volume however you should treat it as read only.

OP could use this as a way to keep their desired folder structure as much as possible, but it would have to be separate from the consumption folder.

I don’t fully understand what you’re saying, but let’s break this down.

Since you say you get an NGINX page, what does your NGINX config look like? What exactly does the NGINX “login page” say? Is it an error or is it a directory listing or something else?
