BlueHost is a hosting company

#

CloudFlare is a CDN

#

If you mean Domain registrars I personally use Namecheap and I like it

drowsy sand
#

Currently have a Ryzen 5 2600 and a GTX 750. How many Plex video streams would that hardware be able to handle?

azure lion
#

Also to add, I do not want to merge the internet connections. I just want to access the devices connected to one router from another.

unborn sluice
rare matrix
#

you can also just use one single router for two uplinks and as many LANs as you want and keep them separate

#

the term you used, "merge", doesnt really have a technical definition in this sense so i can only assume you mean to configure two uplinks in either a failover or load-balanced configuration, which is something that you don't have to do even when using a single device to route using two uplinks

#

it can operate using the uplinks independently, serving their own internal LANs, allowing no crossover externally but only internally, as specified

CDN for everything depends how much you pay xD

#

not sure of a specific way to do this, but i think he wants a site to site vpn

rare matrix
#

no, he wants a very simplistic setup

#

he has multiple LANs in one location and multiple uplinks, wants to keep each respective LAN routing out of a designated uplink, and wants devices on the two LANs to be able to communicate with each other

#

which is all doable with one router

#

and yes, you can use wireless and wired

teal forum
#

Wouldn't it be easiest to put a layer 3 switch in the setup?

waxen saddle
#

Pretty sure this can be solved with VLANs

rare matrix
#

yes all this works

#

if you read up a bit i initially said that a third router (like a L3 switch) can be added, or the desired routing can be added to one of the two existing routers, or all the routing can be collapsed into a single device, all without using load-balancing or failover

#

all these solutions are valid

rare matrix
#

personally i lean towards adding devices for capacity (including redundant capacity if needed), not for function, meaning that i only add a second router when one router would be overwhelmed by the throughput or be unable to meet redundancy requirements

#

the desired function can be gained via correct configuration

azure lion
#

Okay. Thank you so much. Will lookup which method would be the most feasible for me.

#

Is it a good idea to plug network drives into the router's USB port? Or should I use a spare computer.

waxen saddle
#

Just a regular drive over USB on the router? I don’t really see a problem with that. Depends on what you use it for though.

gusty dove
#

It will be used to store some of a lot of my files like System Images and OS files and media

waxen saddle
#

I can’t vouch for the speed, but as long as you’re fine with the permissions/access model provided by the router, you’ll be fine.

Any recommendations on a 4 port gig NIC? I want to add ports for my EVE lab (Ubuntu) but just a quick prowl it looks like the i350T4 is the way to go but I really don't feel like farting around with fakes.

thick minnow
#

can i have help with porting pls? its for mc server

peak cloak
thick minnow
#
  1. Does the server work locally? yes
#
  1. Are you under CGNAT? and what?
peak cloak
#

basically cgnat makes it so you can't port forward

#

because you are sharing the same ip with multiple people

#

you can check by checking what your WAN IP is in your router

thick minnow
#

it a pc

peak cloak
#

ok??

thick minnow
#

i didnt under stand

peak cloak
#

you have router access?

#

you want to port forward?

thick minnow
#

yes i do

peak cloak
#

ok what do you need help with?

thick minnow
#

i did port forward and my friend see the sever offline

peak cloak
#

ok, so it's not working

thick minnow
#

no

peak cloak
#

can you show the config

#

of the router

#

the settings you used

thick minnow
#

in a sec

#
  1. the name of the port
  2. num of the port
  3. portocall
#

I'm assuming this points to the internal IP of the machine running your server?

#

yes

#

do you have another machine on your LAN you can try connecting to your server with, it could be a firewall issue

oak night
#

You might have to use DDNS

thick minnow
#

no this yes my only pc

oak night
#

What router is it?

thick minnow
#

from isp

oak night
#

Can you see DDNS somewhere?

#

In the settings

#

?

thick minnow
#

no

oak night
#

Can you do a screenshot of your main interface?

thick minnow
#

i dont have how to get in the config

oak night

192.168.1.1 have you tried?

#

Are you using an app? On your phone or pc?

thick minnow
#

peak cloak
#

@thick minnow what's your WAN IP

#

Ipconfig

peak cloak
#

you can't

oak night
#

It shows

#

That's a LAN IP, not the WAN

peak cloak
#

that's LAN IP

#

we need WAN IP to check for CGNAT

thick minnow
peak cloak
#

kinda

#

but just searching on google won't work

#

because that's the final public IP

thick minnow
peak cloak
#

the first 2 octets

oak night
thick minnow
#

62.219

oak night
#

Cuz they would have to figure out the other ones

peak cloak
thick minnow
#

google

peak cloak
#

yeah no

#

we need to check on the router

oak night
#

It is blocked

thick minnow
peak cloak
#

then how did you try port forwarding

thick minnow
#

on the app

oak night
#

With the included app

#

But there is only pw

peak cloak
#

so you do have access, just through the app

#

stupid ISPs

#

Example for me^

oak night
peak cloak
#

nope

peak cloak
oak night
#

Ok

peak cloak
#

eth4.10 is a vlan for example

oak night
#

Yeah

#

I have an idea

#

Go in 10.0.0.138

peak cloak
#

traceroute?

oak night
#

No

peak cloak
#

wait, traceroute would work as well to check for cgnat

#

@thick minnow do tracert 1.1.1.1

thick minnow
#

do what?

oak night
#

On cmd

thick minnow
#

what now?

oak night
#

Show us the result

peak cloak
#

it doesn't

#

and there is no cgnat

#

I also had a 10.x.x.x ip in my tracert and there was no NAT

#

I bet the problem is the router

TeamViewer 8-14.2 are supported for WinXP SP3

Why does it have to be win xp?

thick minnow
#

TeamViewer is free for private, Non-commercial use

thorny vector
#

If that’s the case, I beg of you to put either Linux on it or update it to at least win 7

#

Win xp has unpatchable system level exploits

thick minnow
#

is it just for file hosting?

#

Ubuntu is light enough, although I’d do ubuntu 18.04 or 20.04

Nope. Non issue, especially with those kind of devices.

You can live boot from a usb, and try it out. I’d recommend that.

What's a router?

radiant field
#

What are the specs of the PC? Quite a lot of low end and old hardware can run Ubuntu just fine

waxen saddle
#

@waxen scroll Is that a legit question? If so, a router is a Device that can route IP packets between networks. It routes based off of IP and subnet masks. Routers in the home are usually combo units which include: Router, switch, and WiFi. A router is usually necessary to “get an Internet connection” to your ISP.

hollow marlin
#

Thank god @waxen scroll knows what a router is now

waxen saddle
#

Lol. No idea if it was a legit question, but if so, he now has a verrry basic high level understanding.

Gotchya. Thanks mate.

I just tell people the router is the telephone operator connecting lines into and out of your network, that usually gets the point across for the people who ask "what's a router"

Well kind of. I was building on PCPartPicker the other day and it flagged a possible incompatibility, but it wouldn’t tell me what it was, and it wouldn’t tell me why it thought there might be a conflict. Threw a big red flag and everything.

#

Remember the days when you had to short jumper pins with a motherboard manual for a slightly different motherboard?

I for one am happy how plug and play everything is

It's plug and play until you try to build ryzen

F ryzens memory support

#

It's so bad

waxen saddle
#

I’m glad I’m not the only one with issues.

#

Well, not glad, but like, it’s nice to know I wasn’t the only one with weirdness. Enabling XMP profile throws it into a boot loop until it detects a boot problem and resets the BIOS. All my hardware supports the speed and I’m on the latest BIOS for my first gen Ryzen.

thorny vector
#

I was bringing a decommissioned server back up, and bought 128 gb of ddr4 after making sure that the processors supported the udimm memory I bought. It did. Plug em in, and try to boot. The server starts screaming about unsupported memory modules. So I find an online manual for the board. Nothing in there about not supporting the memory. I will never use supermicro again.

rare matrix
#

is that your first supermicro experience? because they're trusted the world over for server boards and such

#

I'd not dismiss their entire product line so quickly

thorny vector
#

A lot of the servers at my job are supermicro. I hate their bios, I hate their ROMs, rarely have a good experience when building on bare metal.

#

@rare matrix

#

Fortunately our refresh looks like it’s going to be dell

#

@drowsy sand when applications listen on 0.0.0.0 it just means they listen on all interfaces

#

so LAN IP and 127.0.0.1 would both work

supple hare
#

@tame carbon I think I solved the problem without replacing the bbox. Here's the story :

The day after we gave up my smart lights didn't turn on in the morning which almost made me late bc I'm used to have them on when I need to wake up.
In the afternoon I decided to put the Hue bridge downstairs, directly connected by ethernet to the bbox to see if it would work better rather than in my room connected to a CPL; and then disconnected the 2 CPLs from the electrical plugs. And it did ! I could then control my lights without any problem.
By the same occasion I realized that the ethernet started working again on my pc but I wanted to make sure it was not working again randomly and waited a bit. It worked the hole day.
The day after, my pc's ethernet didn't work anymore and decided to hope that it was due to the weather (it was 2°C and the cable is outside...). At that stage I really wanted to believe that it was the weather and convinced myself not to buy a new router until higher temperatures would be back.
It's now been 2 days with temperatures higher than 5°C and everything works just fine ! I've recovered 2ms in ping, 500mb/s in descending and 300mb/s in ascending.

I have no idea why the CPL caused so much problems, especially bc I tried disconnecting everything from the bbox as you said when testing. The only thing I can see is that just by being in a plug it caused a lot of issues.

#

There goes my longest post on Discord x) and it's maybe even bigger than my schools essays xD

tame carbon
#

@supple hare inb4 those CPLs had a DHCP server, and it was conflicting with the bbox

supple hare

Oh ok

Hi, anyone used this software "exitlag"?

peak cloak
#

no sounds like something that wouldn't work unless your ISP has really bad peering

cunning viper
#

I have other usage , redundant internet

#

sometimes I have packet loss

peak cloak
#

oh that's something that can be setup on the router

peak cloak
cunning viper
#

no LAN

peak cloak
#

so ethernet

cunning viper
#

yes

#

I never lose a single ping to my router

peak cloak
#

unless it's a really bad cable or router than that's on the ISPs end

cunning viper
#

or 8.8.8.8

peak cloak
#

yeah then that's on the ISP

#

nothing you can do

#

unless you complain

cunning viper
#

but if I don't lose anything to 8.8.8.8 how come I lose some packets to games

#

or even to work VPN

peak cloak
#

the internet isn't one server

cunning viper
#

I know

peak cloak
#

8.8.8.8 is an anycast address so it's always the closest server

#

game servers may be overloaded

#

or the routers may be overloaded

cunning viper
#

complain get me no where, oh will send you new router

#

and the cycle continue

peak cloak
#

yeah no it's an issue on the network itself

#

if no loss to 8.8.8.8 then it's probobly not ISP

cunning viper
#

so could be the game servers? then?

peak cloak
#

yeah definatly

#

not the server per say, but in the route to those servers

cunning viper
#

okay thanks, few weeks ago, rebuild my Cisco router config thinking it's my home network, thinking the issue was from my end

#

but clearly is not

peak cloak
#

you can do a traceroute

#

although it's not the best indicator

#

because ICMP packets are low priority

cunning viper
#

but game packets are udp mostly

peak cloak
#

yeah

cunning viper
#

want it to see if anyone used that exitlag

#

as they saying you 3 day trial

#

but not really

peak cloak
#

I mean you can try it, doubt it would help

cunning viper
#

I don't wanna really pay for it

#

unless it gonna give good results

#

are you aware of any other softwares?

peak cloak
#

adding more layers onto your route usually doesn't lead to better results

#

so usually what you have right now is the best and fastest route

#

also exitlag is a service is it not?

cunning viper
#

it's a VPN I think

#

from what I checked online

peak cloak
#

it is

#

usually adding a vpn doesn't help in being faster

cunning viper
#

install application on the PC and it routes game traffic to the best server near you

peak cloak
#

yeah, that's what already happens

cunning viper
#

by having less routers

peak cloak
#

nope

#

unless you have really weird peering then it will be more routers

cunning viper
#

or maybe less congested network

peak cloak
#

unless exitlag has some really good ip transit agreements

#

and lots of servers around the world

cunning viper
#

I think they have private MPLS network with no bandwidth sharing with other customers

#

and they only allow gaming an nothing else on it

#

don't think they have servers, or maybe few needed for authentication

peak cloak
#

what I meant by servers are like ingress points

cunning viper
#

okay

#

thanks for your help

hollow marlin
#

It would definitely not be a private MPLS circuit, it would just be a direct peering

rare matrix
#

that whole thing smells like bs

#

Not yet

ruby bramble
#

Yup

lean pebble
autumn ether
#

the TLDR of my question is how do I get 100% on the email test of internet.nl

the more in depth is:
I have a vps with Ubuntu 20.04 on it.
I installed Virtualmin using the official install script (virtualmin+webmin)

I've since been able to reconfigure apache to use proper ciphers etc so I'm getting 100% on the website test of internet.nl, however the email is proving much more difficult.

  1. as far as DNS goes, Is it enough to add A & AAAA records for my mail subdomain that point to my server IP (so in my case, mail.lavrenov.io)? It seems to be working
  2. DNSSEC I also got working, enabled on cloudflare (I use it as my DNS) and copied to namecheap (registrar)

The real questions start now:
3.1) SPF is a DNS-level setting? Do I need to configure anything in postfix/dovecot, or do I just add the record to Cloudflare and it just starts working? internet.nl says it's working, so I think it's okay, but I'm still confused.

3.2) DKIM if I understand correctly, it uses the ssl certificate I have for mail.lavrenov.io to sign emails, and I need to add a DNS record with part of the certificate so the receivers can check authenticity? Is that how it works?

3.3) DMARC similar question to SPF, is this a DNS-level setting or do I need to do something in postfix/dovecot for it to work?

  1. How do I force my mail server to use TLS1.2+? I tried adding smtp(d)_tls_mandatory_protocols = >=TLSv1.2 but that didn't seem to do jack shit.
    If I force the server to use TLS1.2+, will this fix my cipher and cipher order issues, or does this need to be configured separately?

  2. Wtf is DANE and how does it work

3.1: SPF is a DNS record. Should just be a record at your dns server.
3.2: DKIM you add a public key to your DNS records, and it decrpyts a header on the email to prove authenticity.
3.3: Yes, DMARC is another DNS record.
4: I belive so
5: DANE is DNS authentication of Named Entities. Similar to DKIM, except is part of the smtp handshake rather than a authenticity check.

lean pebble
#

Ducts ?

ruby bramble
#

Yea i upgraded to 24 noctua fans

lean pebble
#

You mean the plastic things ?

ruby bramble
#

I dont need ducts the run full tilt

ruby bramble
tame carbon
#

@lean pebble those are important

ruby bramble
#

Yup

lean pebble
#

Whops I dropped them

tame carbon
#

@lean pebble system relies on high airflow, through those shrouds

lean pebble
#

😆

ruby bramble
#

Unless you have 24 fans at full boar

tame carbon
#

@lean pebble thats why it is so loud

lean pebble
#

I'll make custom ones

lean pebble
#

That's the reason I opened it

tame carbon
#

ye, but you shouldnt have it running

#

when you remove the plastic

ruby bramble
#

Ahh just get some good quality fans

tame carbon
#

that must be installed.

#

if you want to run without shrouds/plastic, you should replace the CPU cooler

lean pebble
#

Water cooling?

ruby bramble
#

Yes

tame carbon
#

and put an active cooler on it

ruby bramble
#

I water cooled my gpus

tame carbon
#

You still need case fans

lean pebble
tame carbon
#

because the ram will still heat up

lean pebble
#

But I need to know first if it'll be quiter

ruby bramble
#

I got ram coolers

lean pebble
#

I have all case fans

tame carbon
#

@lean pebble those two fans on the inside, are probably brushless motors

#

those run at very high speed

lean pebble
#

Need to replace the cpu coolers and bring more ram I think

#

Or 16gb will be enough

#

Fornpelz

tame carbon
#

depends on your software needs

#

lean pebble
#

Plex

#

And maybe backup

tame carbon
#

you can run plex on a pi

thick minnow
#

Wait plex doesn't require a GPU? or a video output?

lean pebble
#

Maybe backup place for my pc

tame carbon
#

@thick minnow only for transcoding, but you can use a library of already encoded material

#

if you use h265 encoding

#

the pi can even do 4k60fps playback

lean pebble
#

I can bring shitty gpu for encoding

#

I already have a good plex server in cloud

thick minnow
lean pebble
#

But I want one at home to because my internet sucks

#

Plex have build in h245

tame carbon
#

@lean pebble that makes no sense.

#

h265 is an encoding standard for mpeg

lean pebble
#

Ya this one

#

😆

tame carbon
#

h264 is the older variant

lean pebble
#

My bad

#

You just need to enable it

tame carbon
#

@thick minnow you only need the GPU for transcoding. Actual streaming is just, Read from disk, send over network

#

That is minimal in terms of CPU

thick minnow
#

Thanks @tame carbon , might just do this over the weekend

tame carbon
#

if you do 4k footage...

#

make sure you have a fast enough drive xD

thick minnow
tame carbon
#

1080p is KEKW

#

that's a 7-14mbit/s stream

thick minnow
#

My Tv is 1080p, so why go higher

#

nice

lean pebble
#

E5520

#

My CPUs here

#

I guess it's strong enough for daily backups to my pc and for plex

tame carbon
#

one of my machines

#

has like 6 VMs on it

#

and constant CPU load of like 70% xD

lean pebble
#

I think I have here sas raid controller

#

Sas SSDs are expensive?

tame carbon
#

SAS is an interface.

#

and its ment for spinning disks

lean pebble
#

I want to use SSDs here

tame carbon
#

NVMe.

lean pebble
#

Or at least SSD acceleration

tame carbon
#

SAS is ancient

lean pebble
#

How can I use here nvme

tame carbon
#

You need a board that supports it

lean pebble
#

Expention card ?

#

Ik

tame carbon
#

No

lean pebble
#

I'm not gonna pay alot for this server

tame carbon
#

modern servers have NVMe interfaces in their front bays

#

@lean pebble that raid controller is bunk

#

get rid of it, use straight sata

#

and software raid

lean pebble
#

This one even have the old hpe disk on it

tame carbon
#

It really depends on what variant you have

#

but even SAS 4 is KEKW

lean pebble
#

Storageworks

#

😆

tame carbon
#

Its all moving to NVMe

thick minnow
#

Anyone have experience with Jellyfin? (Jellyfin- open source alternative to plex)

tame carbon
#

nop

#

@thick minnow I've not done much with video streaming

#

audio streaming, yes

lean pebble
tame carbon
#

ew

lean pebble
#

😆

tame carbon
#

that thing needs some compressed nitrogen, stat.

lean pebble
#

Clean front

#

crystal can you send me one of your beasts?

tame carbon
lean pebble
#

😆

tame carbon
#

@thick minnow MPD would be the audio player, pulling its library from a NAS

thick minnow
#

Okay

tame carbon
#

and it outputs to a sink which is routed to icecast

#

which provides a stream URL which you can play on any internet radio capable player

#

icecast is used by radio stations as well

thick minnow
#

it is?

tame carbon
#

ye

thick minnow
#

well I never knew that

tame carbon
#

It can be used to create an Internet radio station or a privately running jukebox and many things in between. It is very versatile in that new formats can be added relatively easily and supports open standards for communication and interaction.

lean pebble
#

What is the quitest and cheapest server I can get with nvme support

#

Not new from the box

tame carbon
#

@thick minnow only real purpose for this setup, I've found was at house parties

#

@thick minnow everyone on the wifi, can use an app on the phone to add songs to the MPD queue

#

the music speakers outside, in the living room, and the ad-hoc arcade we built upstairs

#

all had the same music playing

thick minnow
peak cloak
#

It's nice

thick minnow
#

compared to plex?

peak cloak
#

Yeah

#

It works

lean pebble
#

@tame carbon what cheap server do you advise me to get for home plex ?

tame carbon
#

idk

#

cheap & server are two concepts that do not mesh in my world view.

lean pebble
#

Not new servers

tame carbon
#

I'm the guy who drops 300 bucks on 16GB DDR4 just because it is ECC KEKW

lean pebble
#

Lol

peak cloak
#

Can't wait for ddr5

thorny vector
#

@lean pebble A kitted out r610 or r620 will set you back 150-200 bucks, and be good for everything you need.

tame carbon
#

when I built my home server, I only had 2 constraining factors that I paid attention to

#

Cost and reliability

#

I favor reliability over performance.

#

power requirements also had to stay low, since I dont have cooling in the enclosure it is in

#

65 watts TDP in a 2U is relatively efficient

#

unrelated: why the fuck are pop songs only 3 minutes..

#

so used to listening to psychedelia , which is 8-10 minutes

look at the price under it for me

thick minnow
#

Woah, nice

lean pebble
#

1797.8 ILS

#

shipping included.

#

I'll need to pay even more when it'll arrive to to my country because the customs

#

I'll need to pay at least 772.4752$

maybe with the custom can go even higher

Yea, any VPSes that have like a free tier without credit card validation (as in a student suscription)?, 'cause my student Azure subscription is gonna run out soon and I wanna host my VPN somewhere else.

@thick minnow no ofcourse not

If they were free I already had 80 servers there XD

@thick minnow I will have to bite the dust soon lol, My student email is valid until april

I'm worried about my jetbrains subscription

@lean pebble I don't pirate.

I'm a developer myself

lean pebble

🏴‍☠️

tame carbon

and I would bash the brains in of someone who stole my software.

lean pebble

lol I agree

#

Thats why I don't use intellij now

#

too expensive

tame carbon
#

I use all the enterprise features of IDEA

lean pebble

my college sucks

thick minnow
tame carbon
#

@thick minnow I develop purpose built software for businesses

thick minnow
#

phew

tame carbon
#

closed source, but I do have an open source agreement with the customer

lean pebble
#

only gave us office 365 with nothing more

tame carbon
#

which means, the customer owns their software

#

I've mostly done this

#

so that, if I don't want to continue developing for them in 5 years

thick minnow
tame carbon
#

I can just dump them, and they can take their code to someone else

lean pebble
#

lol

#

I use github to give my teachers my hw

tame carbon

my school had their own Atlassian stack

Because they're ignoring me so Idc about them

should i buy this router?
i can buy this in 212 us d (in my country)

lean pebble
#

I asked my teachers a question 2 weeks ago and never got an answer

tame carbon
#

@thick minnow what are your requirements?

lean pebble
#

Maybe I'll be able to get a free r620 server or something like that

tame carbon
#

@thick minnow its a fine router for full gigabit

lean pebble
#

or r420

tame carbon
#

@thick minnow do you nessarily need that SFP port? because there are cheaper options

thick minnow
tame carbon
#
thick minnow
tame carbon
#

@thick minnow this thing outperforms the hap AC

lean pebble
#

Mine are "programmer" that goes to google all the leason

tame carbon
#

@thick minnow SFP is for fiber modules

lean pebble
#

in java and full stack

tame carbon
#

@thick minnow this is an SFP port, for fiber modules

thick minnow
tame carbon
#

@thick minnow yeah but does your ISP require SFP?

lean pebble
#

6 meters / minutes?

tame carbon
#

@thick minnow that hap AC you linked, is a relatively old model

#

the ac2 is much faster, also has an encryption accelerator for VPN

#

the ac3 is brand new, sports same hardware as the ac2, but has better wifi coverage

thick minnow
tame carbon
#
#

@thick minnow even if your ISP uses SFP, you can still get a $20 media converter

#

so I wouldnt worry about that right now

#

@thick minnow I'd get the hAP ac2, instead

lean pebble
#

I wish I would be able to get fiber in the near decade

tame carbon
#

Its cheaper and faster

lean pebble
#

I guess starlink will arrive here before my ISP with the fiber

tame carbon
#

This is the ac3 ^

thick minnow
tame carbon
#

@thick minnow yeah, wireless regulations

#

but if you can get a hAP ac

#

you can also get a hAP ac2

thick minnow
#

ok i well check th u so match

tame carbon
#

@thick minnow tip: look at the test results tab

#

400mbit/s encryption acceleration

#

And an SFP media converter ^

thick minnow
#

👍 th

tame carbon
#

$20

tame carbon
#

anyone know what the fuck is going on here?

lean pebble
#

What is this

#

What language

tame carbon
#

C#

#

@lean pebble its fucking weird

lean pebble
#

Ya

tame carbon
#

it should evaluate as wat

#

omg.

#

REALLY?!

#

@lean pebble lmfao. I know what is happening

#

I've overriden the datatype operator

#

fuck this bullshit

lean pebble
#

Never touched c# but this shit looks weird af

tame carbon
#
price is null
true
price == null
false
lean pebble
#

Omg this is so weird

tame carbon
#

the class that is backing the instance price has its own operator overloader..

#

and if compared to a null object, always returns false

lean pebble
#

This is how you do stuff in c# O_o

#

?

tame carbon
#

Well, you can

#

you can overload ==

#

you can even overload the + operator

#

MyObject + MyObject2

#

@lean pebble I think I just learned a lesson

lean pebble
#

This language stinks

tame carbon
#

operator overloading is dangerous

lean pebble
#

Never touch Microsoft programing language

#

That's the lesson I took from here

tame carbon
#

C# is a fine language

lean pebble
#

You can overload everything

lean pebble
tame carbon
#

@lean pebble that's what it crashes on yeah

#

though is fixed it

#

Its just an immediate window

#

debugger freezes at a certain point in code

#

and you can eval small fragments of code

#

using current context

lean pebble
#

I mean this is the whole syntax ? No class at the beginning or something ?

tame carbon
#

its a statement

#

those variables exist in that context

lean pebble
#

My food is soo spicy 🔥

#

😆

#

Does dell r420 is good enough for home backup and plex server

dusty osprey
#

Powahedgh

autumn ether
#

Is it be possible to map a subdomain to a docker container when using virtualmin?

#

so lets say for example I have a virtual server in docker for my website lavrenov.io, but I want bitwarden.lavrenov.io to point to my bitwarden docker container that's running on the same VPS

peak cloak
#

@autumn ether yeah you need a reverse http proxy

#

nginx can be used

autumn ether
#

Is it possible with Apache? I already installed and configured virtualmin with it and I never used Nginx, while being relatively familiar with Apache and htaccess. But good to know it's possible in any case.

peak cloak
autumn ether
#

thx

peak cloak
#

and in apache from the looks of it you just make a virtual host and use proxypass to the actual webserver

tame carbon
#

watf

#

@peak cloak why are you suggesting apache as reverse proxy KEKW

#

@autumn ether apache is bloat. use nginx.

tame carbon
#

ahh

#

well ,either way

#

reverse proxy with nginx is like 3 lines of config

#
http {
    upstream myapp1 {
        server srv1.example.com;
        server srv2.example.com;
        server srv3.example.com;
    }

    server {
        listen 80;

        location / {
            proxy_pass http://myapp1;
        }
    }
}```
#

You provide multiple upstream webservers

#

if no load balancing strategy is configured, it is round-robin by default

autumn ether
#

Ooh wow I look away and there's a bunch of tutorials and resources. Thanks @peak cloak @tame carbon I'll consider switching to nginx completely, I've been reading about how it's supposed to be faster and better, but I only ever used shared hosting before, and they all use Apache.

tame carbon
#

@autumn ether apache is only nice, because it comes shipped with LAMP stacks

#

0-configuration Webserver, php and mysql

#

But when you want something specific, and have a bit more control over what you configure

#

nginx is just nice and clean

autumn ether
#

LEMP (E for engine from nginx I guess) is a thing tho, isn't it?

tame carbon
#

LEMP exists too yeah

#

@autumn ether nginx compared to apache also uses way less memory'

#

Apache spawns a process for every incoming request

#

nginx doesn't do this

#

nginx is nonblocking, allowing for much higher throughput and concurrency

#

only thing apache has going for it is the amount of resources and tutorials

#
#

Completely missed the point kek

lean pebble
#

How can I do reverse proxy for mc with nginx

tame carbon
#

bungeecord

lean pebble
#

Just curious

#

Nah I know that way

tame carbon
#

@lean pebble nginx is for TCP based protocols

lean pebble
#

This is the easy way

tame carbon
#

minecraft is UDP.

lean pebble
#

Mc is TCP

#

25565 TCP

tame carbon
#

you think KEKW

peak cloak
lean pebble
#

Minecraft Java Edition uses TCP/25565

#

Only bedrock udp

peak cloak
#

@lean pebble although for reverse proxies it relies on http data for the reverse proxy based on domains

lean pebble
#

Nope not true

#

Alot of ppl doing with nginx for mc

tame carbon
#

@peak cloak java is not bound to a specific transport protocol.

lean pebble
#

Because it's TCP

peak cloak
#

yeah you can, but not based on subdomain

lean pebble
#

It doesn't need to

#

You can do it over IP

tame carbon
#

@peak cloak only reason for people to proxy minecraft is so they can use SRV records

#

host multiple servers on same IP, without defining a port when connecting

peak cloak
#

yeah

#

you don't even need a proxy then?

tame carbon
#

You do

peak cloak
#

why?

tame carbon
peak cloak
#

I ran 2 servers on my public IP with no proxy

#

with srv records

tame carbon
#

You provide two DNS records, and depending on the hostname used, it can reconnect to any number of servers

peak cloak
#

yeah, but you don't need a reverse proxy

tame carbon
#

on a single endpoint, you do

peak cloak
lean pebble
#

We don't talk about bubgeecord

#

And things like this

#

Srv record let you do any port you want for the server and connect it like its 25565 without the port you defined

tame carbon
#

@peak cloak oh, my bad

#

@peak cloak I misread this

#

client itself makes the choice

#

so its just DNS

peak cloak
#

yeah, minecraft at least java respects srv records

tame carbon
#

@peak cloak nah, java doesn't. I think they deliberately wrote this into the netcode

#

No process does this by default

peak cloak
#

I mean java minecraft

tame carbon
#

Minecraft.

#

There's no other kek

peak cloak
#

as in java vs bedrock

tame carbon
#

bedrock is a joke

peak cloak
#

yeah

lean pebble
#

Only 1 problem with srv they expose your IP proxy hides your real minecraft IP I think.

tame carbon
#

exposing your IP?

tame carbon
#

isnt that the point of DNS ?

lean pebble
#

Ya

#

I did it with cf and proxy by cf

peak cloak
#

oh cf

lean pebble
#

It worked perfectly

peak cloak
#

that's not just DNS

lean pebble
#

Nope

tame carbon
#

HTTP is STATIC.

#

session-less

lean pebble
#

Srv records on cf

peak cloak
#

@lean pebble cloudflare free doesn't proxy tcp

tame carbon
#

I still don't get why you'd want to nginx proxy this.

lean pebble
#

It does

peak cloak
#

nope

lean pebble
#

This is the point of cf all ports TCP

peak cloak
#

at least last time I checked

tame carbon
#

just run bungeecord, turds IChooseKEKW

lean pebble
#

Look at the supported ports

lean pebble
#

Because I saw alot of ppl doing it

tame carbon
#

@lean pebble all I see

#

is people on stackoverflow, asking the same thing

lean pebble
#

Linus did it to I think

#

I don't remember why

tame carbon
#

Linus doesnt even know how a console works

lean pebble
#

Lol

#

He don't need to know

#

He got a crew

peak cloak
#

@lean pebble cf free doesn't proxy tcp

#

it's called Cloudflare Spectrum

lean pebble
#

You talk about spectrum ya

#

I know this one

peak cloak
lean pebble
#

Before spectrum srv record worked perfectly

peak cloak
#

wait so it doesn't work anymore?

lean pebble
#

For minecraft TCP

#

Works but exposing your IP

peak cloak
#

we can prove this quickly, DM me your domain and let's see if I can get your IP

tame carbon
#

D0X

#

D0X

#

B0x

peak cloak
#

because there is no way CF proxies TCP for free

lean pebble
#

Before spectrum you could proxy and on the proxied domain you could use srv

tame carbon
#

@peak cloak lol or proxy that shit over HE's v6

#

:D

lean pebble
#

Lol

#

Minecraft doesn't support v6

#

I tried

tame carbon
#

@lean pebble thats why you set up an nginx proxy :D

lean pebble
#

Lol

#

👍

tame carbon
#

I bet that would work

#

v4 -> v6 -> v4

lean pebble
#

I don't think it'll work

peak cloak
#

wait, mc java doesn't support v6?

lean pebble
#

Nope

tame carbon
#

@peak cloak the game doesn't

lean pebble
#

I think the server to

tame carbon
#

but you can still mess with the IP layer

#

you'd loose the ability to track IP addresses

lean pebble
#

Why

tame carbon
#

since your v4 is the proxy server connecting in your behalf

lean pebble
#

You can track them even with proxy

tame carbon
#

yeah

#

but not if upstream is v6 and downstream v4

lean pebble
#

Oh ya I see

#

Pointing it to internal ipv4

tame carbon
#

HTTP uses X-Proxy-IP

#

or some other nonofficial header

lean pebble
#

😆

#

Doing 2 proxies

tame carbon
#

yes

#

xD

lean pebble
#

One internal and one external

tame carbon
#

all that effort

#

time might be better spent nagging mojang for v6 support

lean pebble
#

Ya

#

Or nagging my ISPs for better internet

#

With ipv6 included

tame carbon
#

@peak cloak I had to restart my mikrotik wifi AP today..

#

#

no idea why

thick minnow

Dose anyone want to help me make a streaming service

peak cloak
#

huh

lean pebble
#

Streaming streaming or plex?

peak cloak
#

@tame carbon mojang under microsoft was fine, until now with the whole microsoft migration

lean pebble
#

Microsoft are pros when it comes to kill softwares

tame carbon
#

@peak cloak microsoft has done nothing to make the game better.

peak cloak
