Eclipse
The reason behind me trying to switch is actually quite funny
At work we use IntelliJ Ultimate (for all kinds of development but no Java)
And I think it's quite decent. Not too familiar with it and it has some things I dislike but it's ok.
Now to make things easier for me at work and at home I want to see how well I can work with IntelliJ for Java so you know I only have to learn and use one IDE

Anybody knows about a good restart script for an server ?
For example this one is really good:
#!/bin/bash
while true
do
java -jar paperclip.jar
echo "restarting in 10"
sleep 10
done
But its for linux and i use windows.
short warren
use a restart plugin instead of a restart script is what paper recommends iirc
short ginkgo
ok favorite people, anyone know if theres a plugin for banning someone from a bungeecord
short warren
LiteBans using a db
onyx mason

gilded nova
Advancedban is good
short ginkgo
what is the most simple thing
short warren
litebans
short ginkgo
all the servers are on the same network but 2 different machines
so hopefully easy?
short warren
yeah just use the db you probably already have for lp or whatever
gilded nova
Can you have a bungeecord network on several computers ?
short warren
yeah
gilded nova
How
onyx mason
thats the point of it
short ginkgo
I don't have any databases at the moment, except the one for my website
onyx mason
test 
short warren
you could use the same db if you wanted to 🤷♂️
you might get some latency issues if the db isnt at the same datacenter as the servers though
short ginkgo
I mean.... does it really matter if a ban is delayed by 2 seconds?
short warren
🤷♂️ probably not that bad for bans, but for lp or something high latency can be a mess
gilded nova
I couldn't find any restart plugins

redo the flags with aikars flags and the target jar to your jars name though

So if I copy this into restart.bat and make spigot.yml restart script to: .\restart.bat it will restart when I write restart or /restart ?

/restart?

In game even tho nobody uses that

hello people of luckperms!
do you often have a hard time making a startup script for your minecraft server, or have you met anyone that cant figure it out?

what makes you think it doesn't?
torn lynx
when I restart the server, there is nothing left

I don’t have the permission and not the prefix
gilded nova
run that on a 100% default user
torn lynx
How do I do that?
gilded nova
/lp group default parent add nomade

it should stay
torn lynx
the only problem in doing this is that my tablsit is not correct
i have "Nomade" in place of &8&l» &aN &8&l« &7
but if I do/lp user group set Nomade it’s OK
weight : 100 for nomade
but i think to have weight 100 for default ?

make your tab plugin use default instead of nomade

im just trying to help, you do not need to edit any jar files to configure bungeecord but ok
you need the source code
what jar do you need to edit?
ok. to edit that jar
- download the source code here https://github.com/nickuc/OpeNLogin
- open it in your java code editor
- edit it
- compile it back to a jar
i dont have time to teach you how to do all of that
you cannot edit a jar until you get the source code

yeah, cloudflare acts as a proxy and also allows godaddy to retain ownership over the domain, and also lets you transfer ownership to cloudflare after 2 months have gone by since purchase - and cloudflare is 100% cheaper than godaddy after the first year goes by
gilded nova
Wdym with allows godaddy to retain the ownership of the domain?
The rest i understand
gilded nova
yeah porkbun is great
Porkbun or GoDaddy?
gilded nova
Why
normal surge
Wdym with allows godaddy to retain the ownership of the domain?
basically you still pay godaddy/whatever alternate provider even though cloudflare is the one managing dns stuffs, from what i understand
gilded nova
So you buy the domain from godaddy then you setup with cloudflare instantly, so you still pay godaddy for the first year you have, but you can manage absolutely everything from cloudflare and when it have gone 11 months and 20days you just transfer the domain to cloudflare and basically its the same from when you setup with cloudflare except that you pay cloudflare instead?

normal surge
yeah, it can do a lot but the main thing is ddos protection
normal surge
yeah
godaddy does have a few things cloudflare doesnt though, but you should be able to replace then with your own services
for example godaddy allows you to have a subdomain that redirects you to a specific url, like a discord server link
onyx mason
CloudFlare page rules?
gilded nova
But lets say i wanted to self host, would i be safe if i used either godaddy or cloudflare (or literally any domain service) and setup with cloudflare ?
gilded nova
CloudFlare page rules?
Are their rules bad ?
normal surge
CloudFlare page rules?
i had no idea that existed, never mind my previous point
cloudflare is amazing 🤤
yeah you should honestly be safe no matter what you choose
gilded nova
godaddy does have a few things cloudflare doesnt though, but you should be able ...
What do you mean with there two messages?
normal surge
i thought cloudflare wouldn't let you redirect a subdomain like stats.example.com to a url like discord.gg/xxxxx
but i was mistaken
so never mind lol
gilded nova
So they do ?
normal surge
yeah they do
like aber said they seem to have a page rules section that can do that and much more
gilded nova
i just buy domains through cloudflare 🤣
normal surge
i just buy domains through cloudflare 🤣
what how
gilded nova
i just buy domains through cloudflare 🤣
With this you mean you buy a domain from another service but its already setup with cloudflare ?
for .com.au tho
No
I mean through cloudflare
Yeah?
like
normal surge
Wdym with pave rules
it's a service cloudflare provides, lets you do different things when a user visits a certain url
i tried to buy a domain directly with cloudflare but couldnt find a way to do so
gilded nova
Why do you use it through cloudflare if you dont wanna use it ?
its just the registrar tab
red canopy
I just want a command (/uuid) to return only the command runner's UUID
gilded nova
But why not just use godaddy ?
onyx mason
Oh that's it shifty?
gilded nova
Youll end up putting it through cloudflare anyway if youre smart
gilded nova
So your managing it from cloudflare ?
onyx mason
Bruh gimme 30 mins I need to eat dinner and then it'll be 5 mins to make it
red canopy
sure. PM?
onyx mason
Yeah
gilded nova
yeah but you can also register domains through cloudflare too
means you dont have to mess with nameservers
(which isnt hard) but ya know
Oh yeah
So you dont need to make godaddy account ?
not if you register through cloudflare
Oo
but you can buy through godaddy if you want
Is it more complicated ?
normal surge
i still think going with godaddy is nice because it costs so little for the first year that way
gilded nova
Or is it just as normal ?
you just have to change their nameservers to cloudflare ones and then let it propagate
normal surge
cloudflare walks you through how to use a dns managed by godaddy step-by-step so it's not hard ^
gilded nova
its really easy either way
gilded nova
i still think going with godaddy is nice because it costs so little for the firs...
If you manage through cloudflare you can do this right? Just change from godaddy to cloudflare after 1 year
normal surge
ye
gilded nova
I used to use name.com, godaddy and google domains but now i just use cloudflare
But so im absolutely safe if i use a subdomain or a custom domain from any service and setup with cloudflare ?
Do you know the difference between a subdomain and domain?
Not really
I see the visual difference
normal surge
you're relatively safe from ddos on the usual webserver ports if you use cloudflare, however the same cant be said for random/game ports like for minecraft
gilded nova
But so i need to setup differently if i wanted a minecraft server as if i wanted an website?
normal surge
you dont need to set it up differently, you just cant expect the same level of protection
gilded nova
Cloudflare offers protection for that sort of things but it costs
But cant they look up my domain or subdomain in lookup stuff
And see my actual IP
if they ping your domain itll give cloudflares proxied ip and not yours
(if you set it up correctly)
Okay
So i should be safe ?
Youll be fine
wait are you self hosting?
Im thinking from a perspective of that yes
But are you?
As a what if scenario
It really depends lol
most mc server hosts have decent firewalls that block attacks anyway
but cloudflare is just some added protection
Timmy
Could i add protection to my mc server myself?
I have something you'll hate
yes
Like a firewall or something
Prepare yourself
go for it fefo
and Mathias yeah

forest helm
the subdomain/domain has no effect on the server security. It's basically just a phone book that converts your pretty myserver.gg into it's numeric IP address i.e. 192.168.0.1
forest helm
(please try to ddos me with that IP >:) )
gilded nova
Here
normal surge
oh no _11 leaked his ip!!1one!
gilded nova
you wont have any control over a subdomain of a domain that you do not own
onyx mason
Yes
forest helm
ikr ivan
gilded nova
apart from where it points to
onyx mason
I own google com
gilded nova
But if someoje ddos me, do i only need protection snd stuff on my server and pc or would it attack the router ?
your network
because the ip that people connect with is your public ip that points to your home network
forest helm
everything between the attacker's computer(s) and your server would need protection
gilded nova
So TCPshield and cloudflare doesnt matter bc it just attacks my router ...
forest helm
nope
gilded nova
You need a firewall on your router
What if we have one
then send it
.. ?
like go for it
sorry
Oh
see how it goes
if you have a dynamic ip and someone ddos's you, just restart your modem lol
Firewall works like it stopp everything except the ports you open right?
normal surge
i dont think thats how it works o.o
gilded nova
if you have a dynamic ip and someone ddos's you, just restart your modem lol
What if i got a static one?
Then your ip wont change
Hmm
normal surge
Firewall works like it stopp everything except the ports you open right?
yes, they also do a lot more like stop traffic from certain sources, etc - you can get some software that automatically adds any attacker to a blacklist
it's up to the ISP to change your address, your router restarting won't cause that
sadly
gilded nova
Yeah okay it do more ofc but at least it stopp everything except the ports you open
normal surge
actually if a port isnt open then you dont really need a firewall in the first place
gilded nova
pretty sure if you restart the whole shabang your ip will change
normal surge
like if you had 0 ports open on your machine you'd have no need for a firewall
gilded nova
But if you use TCPshield i should be safe i guess bc minecraft ports Are TCP
i wouldnt know
normal surge
pretty sure if you restart the whole shabang your ip will change
na, i speak from experience when i say that's not how it works
your router is not what assigns you an IP
gilded nova
Yeah Im not speaking from experience
normal surge
it's on the ISP's side
forest helm
I mean if your router drops offline long enough, IPv4's limits means the ISP will probably reasign that IP pretty quickly
gilded nova
But so for the trafic to come to me it must take down the firewall on the router first?
forest helm
(unless of course you have a static IP)
normal surge
i don't know if your ISP can even tell if your router is online/offline, just how much traffic you have
gilded nova
But since its just traffic it cant Get through a firewall right?
forest helm
Well they'll be able to tell if it's connected
normal surge
how o.o
forest helm
would be in communication with the ISPs stuff i.e. monitoring etc
normal surge
hmm well maybe, idk how they do any of that
gilded nova
I dont know how we ever put up with adsl
forest helm
if a neighbourhood suddenly has every router drop offline, they're gonna want to know about it lol
gilded nova
Could i possibly Get a firewall on my pc somehow bc the router should be safe?
normal surge
anyways bottom line is restarting a router is not a reliable way to have yourself assigned a new ip
gilded nova
basically 🤣
normal surge
mathias you can log into your router and manage the firewall there
gilded nova
Mathias if they attack your ip, thats your whole network not just your pc
But so if the firewall is safe Even tho you have an open TCP port they wont Get through?
if youre firewall is good
then
should b fine
Ok
normal surge
realistically you shouldn't even worry too much about ddos attacks for 1 big reason
gilded nova
just need to block the unwanted traffic
normal surge
if you have a regular ol' internet subscription then your ISP will intecept and stop any attacks aimed at you
they definitely won't be happy about it but that's what will happen
gilded nova
But if the traffic comes through the router wouldnt our internet just crash? So the defence on my pc doesnt matter ?
normal surge
correct
gilded nova
So how does cloudflare and TCPshield help ?
normal surge
cloudflare proxies your ip, meaning the attack never reaches your router
or even your ISP
tcpshield doesnt do much
gilded nova
It wont reach my router with the IP they use for my server at least ?
normal surge
yes
normal surge
but again the free cloudflare option only protects standard webserver ports like 80, 443, etc
gilded nova
Not 25565 for bungeecord minecraft server?
normal surge
exactly
normal surge
they offer it but like timmy said it's expensive, like $200+/month
gilded nova
its v expensive 4 what it is
normal surge
well that depends on what sort of traffic they send i think
if they send an attack to that port then yeah it'll reach you
gilded nova
i think its cost per something of bandwidth
I thought TCPshield stopped DDos and much uneanted traffic to, basically cloudflare but okay then
cloudflare is so much more
you should learn about it
I will
But clearly not so good for servers it sounds
no it is
normal surge
wait actually tcp shield might do the same thing as cloudflare
for some reason when i heard it i thought it was a plugin
normal surge
if it's a legit service then that's definitely an alternative
please don't use anti ddos plugins
short warren
lmao thats a thing?
gilded nova
But so since TCPshield defend DDos and those stuff they should not be alle to reach my router or IP with that either ?
#JustDontSelfHost
normal surge
it's bound to be a thing
gilded nova
please don't use anti ddos plugins
Probably backdoored to find ips to DDos lol
who would go out of their way to do that tho
such an effort
normal surge
But so since TCPshield defend DDos and those stuff they should not be alle to re...
yeah, i don't know too much about it but if they really do offer a way to protect specific ports (like 25565) then thats what you want
gilded nova
I will look info TCPshield more in depth myself
short warren
Probably backdoored to find ips to DDos lol
not a bad idea if someone was to do that, the people using antiddos plugins would be the type of person to not have much else security
normal surge
feels bad
normal surge
#JustDontSelfHost
i self host >:)
gilded nova
i self host >:)
Mc server ?
normal surge
ye
gilded nova
You know what youre doing theres a difference 🤣
normal surge
idk about that xd
gilded nova
Would you like to download my anti DDos plugin? It protects your server.
yeah
send it here
normal surge
oho of course, i was looking for the easiest way to feel safe with myself
you know what they say, if you feel safe you are safe
gilded nova
HAHA
thats how it works
Iamasafeantiddosplugin.safe
?
My plugin
send it
.
You wanted me to send 
normal surge
darn
gilded nova
The code is:
Iplog the noob who run this;
End
normal surge
you know what the scariest thing to find in a plugin is
gilded nova
HAHAHAHA
gilded nova
I have that on ...
normal surge
an auto update feature is every possible exploit in one convenient box
normal surge
well, ideally yes but who knows
normal surge
exactly
normal surge
imagine if you will
gilded nova
What is backdoor
normal surge
a small line of code that visits a github repo
and copies the contents into your plugins folder, replacing your current plugin
that is a backdoor
gilded nova
So it sint like a code who gives a IP or something access to your computer ?
normal surge
it's also that but it could be many things
basically whenever someone can control something within your system without you knowing
gilded nova
So since it visits a github repo that means it download from that repo right ? And in that download there is something which gives him access or control?
normal surge
exactly
