Reading thought your requirements again SyncThing is perfect for what your looking to do

Synthings goes through community hosted intermediate servers, called relay servers, so it's not direct. https://relays.syncthing.net/

https://docs.syncthing.net/users/relaying.html

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying.

The normal situation between two residential computers is that a direct connection is never possible because they're both behind NAT or CGNAT.

A direct connection is only possible if you're willing and able to do port forward on either side.

You have no idea what you are saying.

Syncthing has relay enabled by default, yes, but it does not route traffic through it by default.

When you launch syncthing it uses their public STUN server to resolve your local info.

[PGGH6] 2023/03/13 20:20:39 INFO: quic://0.0.0.0:22000 resolved external address quic://209.XXX.XXX.XXX:22000 (via stun.syncthing.net:3478)

Then when you try to connect from a remote, it uses that connection first. It only relays if that listener has closed.

@gotwf said in Setup NodeBB on Fedora 33 with PostgreSQL and Nginx with HTTPS only:

@JaredBusch So... now that you've had this up and running for a while, care to report on how that is going? Inquiring minds are curious. Particularly w.r.t. resource utilization comparison, performance differences, etc. comparatively. I think you were on Mongo previously, correct? Cuz I am right there with you on the license bullshit. All it takes is one bump in the road, merger, and wham, history repeats and next major version changes license again - only this time to something closed. Have no interest in betting on community to fork and continue. Need a safer bet. It would appear that percona may have already done so w/their percona mongodb offering but I wonder if that would continue as a full fork if/when upstream became closed source.

TIA-- o/

Well 2 years in, i do not run any NobeBB instances with heavy traffic so performance is not even something I look at. I have like 5 of these running for tiny personal projects that people I know have asked for my help with.

@Skyetel said in Skyetel billing error:

Believe it or not, it was caused by a rouge "%" in a SQL query.

Since % is a wildcard, yeah I can see that.

@Pete-S using your little snippet did not clean up the pinned start menu of the initial admin user that ran it, nor the non admin user account that I subsequently created.

It xbox was still in the start menu, but the rest looked gone.

@Pete-S said in ProxMox: Set VM to AutoStart from Command Line CLI Start:

Nice but it's even easier with pure kvm as you don't have to go the roundabout way of using VMid.

virsh autostart somevm

And the exact VM name (case sensitive) is different than the VM ID how?

@Fredtx said in I can't even:

I've always used the ping command to troubleshoot latency, and view active spikes, and packet loss.

For anything ping/traceroute related, the tool you want is mtr not ping. It provides a much better picture of what you need to know if you use the right --order options.

This gives you the standard loss, delay, etc., plus jitter: mtr 1.1.1.1 --order LSRDNABWVJMXI

But as @scottalanmiller said, you need to be specific about what you are wanting tested.

@scottalanmiller said in XO-Lite beta:

Heck, we're still supporting 2012 R2 physical machines out there!

Yes, people are moving towards modern systems, but.... we've got decades to go.

I have a customer running Epicor's P21 solution. When it was installed in 2014, Epicor intentionally put it on Server 2008 R2. Still running.

@Dashrender said in PS to download latest microsip version:

I just installed it on a test machine with chocolatey - it installed it into the local admin profile - so any normal non admin user can't use it.

You can run chocolatey without admin rights just fine.

It warns you, but that is because most software is designed to be installed with admin rights in the windows world.

It seems that Microsip does not require that, so run chocolatey as the user itself.

@wirestyle22 I’ve never used a gpg key without a password/passphrase.

Not in the same way Teardown is, (another awesome game by the way), but you can build/destroy.

@JaredBusch said in Gaming - What's everyone playing / hosting / looking to play:

based on the word tycoon is it a sim?

Yes, along the lines of a Sim City type game, but more fun.

I had time later and looked at the steam store. looks interesting.

@Obsolesce said in Gaming - What's everyone playing / hosting / looking to play:

Voxel Tycoon, I highly recommend checking it out. It's tons of fun! Be warned, huge time waster.

@Pete-S said in Eaton Rack Mount 5P: power on issue:

So this has nothing to do with Eaton. It's just how the battery chemistry works.

Not true, it is a new unit. It is Eaton's responsibility. That or the distributor, depending on how it was purchased.

Either way, it is RMA as failed/bad on delivery.

Yes, the "problem" could be the battery, but still a vendor issue.

just updated my instance to current and they still work.

@JaredBusch said in ZeroTier rules to limit freelancer access:

Because once a user is in said server, via any secure method, you need to have a solution inside the network to prevent access to any other server from inside.

That makes sense.

However that can be as simple as using each servers firewall to block rdp/ssh from everything but zerotier.
That prevents moving horizontally from one server to another.

Again after I've connected to SERVER5 via ZT, how do you prevent me from accessing SERVER1-4 and SERVER6-15 -- or any other internal resource since the server I'm connecting to is already inside your network's main firewall?

Let's call zerotier a VPN for simplicity and let's say we want to control ssh network access.

You prevent network access on ssh from SERVER1 to SERVER2 by setting the OS firewall on SERVER 2 to only allow ssh from IPs on the VPN subnet.

That means you can reach each servers ssh port from VPN, but not from anywhere else. So if you ssh into one server through VPN, you can't ssh from there to the next server.

Right, which is why I asked the OP to clarify what he meant by server access.

@scottalanmiller said in NodeBB Plugins:

Everything that I stopped using is because they went away

I have not looked at the code, but I assum, that the GUI only shows plugins that have the right version info updated in them.

@scottalanmiller said in NodeBB Plugins:

At one point during an update they couldn't handle the update, I had to remove and reinstall, and the plugins were no longer available.

You only had to disable them. I went through the same.

Since you completely removed them, you can still install anything from command line.

cd /you/nodebb/directory
npm install nodebb-plugin-imgur
npm install nodebb-plugin-ns-embed

Sure, I have a version warning, but it is only a warning and they cause no issues.

That's not an issue of a broken plugin. I cant find any plugin that does that. They removed the youTube plugins from the repos.

Funny that, I mean i'm not 100% current but still.

You know, there are no issues with plugins on my nodebb systems. You should really look closer at what your errors are.

I'm not uploading it HERE. I'm uploading it to YouTube.
