What are the benefits of a server having multiple public IP addresses? by Nighed in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Having two could be useful - allows you to separate anything that virtual you wants to host from anything real life you wants to host.

(Without having two domains pointing at the same IP)

Making enemies harder/more dangerous by Nighed in c/[email protected]

Some ideas:

Get them into multiple encounters within the long rest to exhaust resources. (Encounters don't have to be combat).

Try to give them other objectives in the fight so they can't play optimally. Chase the one carrying all the loot, or save the hostage.

You can just forcibly split the party, have a door come down so they are fighting two fights in two parallel corridors.

Change the crit rules (dangerous at low levels) we run on the rule where the second dice is always full damage to makes crits more dangerous and increase risk.

Challenging fights with a group that large are just going to have to take longer I think though.

Good luck!

They pack them in as tight as they can, so doing that fucks up two stations instead....

These work well. I have to power mine through the cigarette lighter, but newer cars should have USB power as standard.

That's really annoying for everyone else though.

FYI - This article is from 2020.

I know they did some stuff semi-recently about the security of direct calls. So there is a high chance this is have changed since then.

You can configure that I think? (The every keystroke, not the stupidity)

Probably worth trying though?

We can concentrate energy way better than plants can, so the possibility is there. The problem is that as Climateworks is a private company, they are not releasing the data that might help others.

The forest center near me removed the bins. .. From their café/picnic area (feddit.uk)

They sell things that come in cups, or with napkins. Lots of people cycle/run/walk here instead of driving, seems pretty stupid.

Taking away the bins doesn't mean you don't produce rubbish....

Edit: I think there is still a bin IN the cafe, but most people eat/drink outside. Lots of people asking staff where the bins are. Still hypocritical I think though? (And still mildly infuriating to remove well used bins!)

Hi, I'm looking for some recommendations, mostly looking for pointers of where to go and look at/research stuff as I have no idea what is good and what is just well advertised.

Intro: I have finally entered the world of (almost) Gigabit internet, which is opening up options with what I can host.

I currently have:

Pi hole on an actual RP (will probably remain there because its easy)
Inbound Wireguard VPN on my old router (will stop working when my old ISP stops service) EDIT: my new ISB gave me a router, but it doesn't have VPN functionality
Foundry VTT that I run up on my gaming machine when needed

I will probably also be upgrading my gaming PC in the next few months, so my current rig will probably be put behind the TV to use as a server and for couch gaming.

Info/recommendations I would like:

VPN software (I want to VPN INTO my network) My goto would be wireguard, is that still a good option? (I assume I just port forward the VPN ports to the server?)
Private cloud/File server: I both want to be able to occasionally (but permamently) host files publicly, but still have the main store be available on the local network only. Is that going to be two pieces of software, or just one?
Is a local video streaming app actually useful for a rare watcher of movies etc, or can they be streamed directly from the file server? its something that I see a lot of people talk about, but don't really understand why...
Is Docker the way to go for everything? or just install on the machine directly?
~Piracy~ VM - Enabling the virtualisation stuff for Docker mostly breaks virtualbox (at least on windows) any recommendations for how to nicely run a VM alongside docker (if that's the recommendation)?
Should/Could I be hosting anything else? Foundry will probably be on there. I don't feel like I have a use for smart home stuff, so home assistant wouldn't be much use etc.

Wouldn't it dispell the magic before it got to the ring? So your gun just exploded and your ring is now somewhere downrange?

South Korea President Yoon declares martial law by Nighed in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 64 points 6 months ago

Don't hold you breath...

From BBC:

The South Korean military says it will maintain martial law until it is lifted by President Yoon Suk Yeol, despite the nation's parliament voting to block its enforcement, according to the country's national broadcaster.
