  • As I said, I’ve got a VPS. The VPS is not on my local net, but in a datacenter. As part of being a VPS it has a unique IPv4.

    My VPN (which I currently use for TCP traffic) is hosted on the VPS, giving me access to (and from) all devices connected to my VPN regardless of whether they are behind a NAT or not.

    I’ve also got a beefy server which hosts more power hungry services, though this one is behind multiple layers of NAT. I can forward and reverse-proxy TCP services from the beefy server through the VPN and out to the public net using another server with a unique IPv4 just fine.

    What I (and OP) need, is to also be able to forward\reverse-proxy UDP services from a beefy NATed/firewalled server through a VPN and out to the public internet using another server which has a unique IPv4.








  • Might want to boot up warpinator myself, but from their website:

    #Winpinator for Windows PC​

    For Windows users, this software is readily available for the Windows platform, allowing easy installation of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. It facilitates seamless file and folder sharing between Microsoft Windows and Linux via LAN.

    It seems like there might be a slight error in your question. It’s possible that you’re referring to “WinZip” instead of “Winpinator.” WinZip is a popular file compression and archive utility for Windows. If you’re looking for information on WinZip, you can visit the official WinZip website to download and learn more about the application: WinZip Official Website.

  • The speech is about software (and laws) not being able to properly limit software, and that as long as we have “General-Purpose Computing” (aka. PCs or hardware/computers that you have access to) we will not be able to properly limit software. Cory just didn’t think as far as the solution 15 years later being to move the hardware on which your software runs away from you.

    It is quite tragicomic how we went from mainframes and terminals in the 60’s to GPC/PCs in the 90’s and now are moving back to cloud (aka. mainframes and terminals but on a global scale).


  • If you want another example, try counting to 10 in hex (base 16).

    Also, base 10 is always base 10, but “10” in base 2 is 2 in all counting systems above base 2 (since base 2 doesn’t actually include 2, just like base 10 doesn’t include “A”). Likewise, 10 in base 10 represented in base 2 would be 1010. ;)

    So you want to be able to stream Gimp and have a shared drive with your PC’s sheets, it needs to be open source and with no limitations?

    I’d just do gimp+Discord+google docs, but if you want it to be open source and all-in-one then go checkout Nextcloud. I think that’s as free as you get, if even foundry is too limiting.


  • I’m not entirely sure how “… don’t need anything near as memory efficient as Alpine” became “Debian is obviously superior to Alpine”.

    … I was referencing systemd and familiarity of use in regard to OP. Debian just happened to be mentioned, it comes per default with systemd, and it’s my personal first choice for servers. Though, taking context into account, OP did say they originally came from Ubuntu and made it sound like they were trying to optimize their system since it “only” had 4(8)GB memory in total.

    I do believe Debian with systemd is more similar to Ubuntu than Alpine is to Ubuntu. My point was not so much about Debian vs Alpine in general as it was specific to efficiency in regard to memory usage, with the sole reason to change to Alpine over Debian (or any OS which uses systemd, really) purely for memory savings being rather weak when systemd only uses some <50MB in memory, the computer has 4GB+ of it, and the user already is familiar with Debian-based flavors which use systemd.

    So no, Debian is obviously not “obviously superior to Alpine”, just as systemd isn’t too heavy to run on computers with 4GB of RAM - unless you’re trying to push the computer to its limits.

    Huh? I don’t think you need anything near as memory efficient as Alpine for something which has 4GB of RAM, unless you’re doing it for the sole purpose of pushing the machine and yourself to the limit.

    I only ever consider dropping Debian and/or Systemd when going below 512MB RAM. I’ve run most of my public-facing homelab stuff on a 1GB VPS till recently, including multiple webservers such as FoundryVTT, and Docker containers such as a Wireguard server, Jenkins, Searxng, etc… It rarely used more than ~60% of the RAM, but I obviously couldn’t run Immich or any heavy services on it.
