  • You don’t need a static IP, you just have to keep track of what your current dynamic IP is.

    You still need a public IP address. More and more often, IPv4 services are provided behind CGNAT, which won’t be able to work as you describe.

    If you don’t have a public IPv4 for your LAN you can use IPv6. Or, you can reverse proxy your services through a gateway with a public IPv4.

    I use a a reverse proxy (Pangolin) running on a VPS. A Newt tunnel connects my LAN to to Pangolin, exposing my local services via subdomains.

    /edit; vpns are good and all, but they require you to setup software on the remote device to connect to it, and that typically routes most if not all your traffic back to the vpn server then out to the internet. That can create speed/bandwidth issues.

    Tailscale, ZeroTier, and other similar services generally establish direct tunnels between devices, without a separate VPN server. They use a central service merely as a sort of common meeting point (STUN/TURN) for the devices to figure out how to establish direct tunnel(s).






  • That’s a very, very good point, but not the one you think it is.

    Of the ~240 people aboard the vessel, 100% are experiencing symptoms of “anxiety”, while about 5% have been identified as also experiencing “Hantavirus”.

    Everyone aboard is quarantined, and regularly being interviewed by medical personnel to determine if they are symptomatic. Did she initially report virus symptoms along with the anxiety affecting everyone? Or did the virus symptoms appear later?

    “Ma’am, even though you have reported no symptoms indicating you have contracted the virus, we’re going to go ahead and say you have it.”

    ^ much more problematic diagnosis.


  • What were the specific symptoms she reported to the doctors?

    If I go to the doctor and I report “I’m feeling generally nervous and a little scared”, I would expect the doctor to respond “That sounds like anxiety”.

    If I report “I’m having a worsening cough, and body aches”, I’d expect “That sounds like a viral infection”.

    If I were to report “I had a cough several days ago, but it has disappeared. I’m feeling generally nervous and a little scared”, should the doctor listen to what I am saying and conclude “anxiety”? Or should they focus solely on the symptom I reported in decline and conclude “virus”?





  • What software should I use to actually do the forwarding/proxying?

    I highly recommend Pangolin. It does exactly what you’re looking for: Establishes a tunnel between your home server and the VPS, to proxy services on your home network through the VPS.

    It also automatically sets up LetsEncrypt certs for your web services, and provides an optional security layer so only authenticated users can get through the proxy.

    You can also do TCP and UDP port forwarding for non-web services.

    What’s a good VPS provider for this?

    I use Racknerd. You will need an affiliate link to get a good deal. I would not recommend the services they offer directly; the prices are considerably higher. Pangolin’s quick-start guide has affiliate links for three services; I use the 2gb option. They have other options, but we’ll have to move to DMs.




  • When you start, there are no shares to buy or sell. For a dollar, the market will sell you a “yes” and a “no” share. When the bet matures, one of those shares will be worth a dollar, and the other will be worth nothing. If you keep both shares, you’ll get your dollar back, nothing more, nothing less.

    You think the bet will resolve to “yes”, so you want to sell off your “no” shares. You try to sell them at $0.50, nobody buys. You lower your price to $0.30, and they sell. Now you have $0.30 and a “yes” share that might be worth a dollar in the future.

    You see someone is offering to buy “yes” shares for $0.80. If you sell your “yes” share, you’ll end up with $1.10 total.

    Suppose after a trading back and forth all day, you find yourself with a “yes” share that you’ve paid $0.40 for. You have a “no” share that you’ve paid $0.30 for. At any time, you can join those two shares together and sell them back to the market for $1.
