Minecraft server and reverse proxy
  • If you were using the default port 25565, you could simply have a DNS A record pointing to the server IP. But since that is not the case, you have to additionally set up a SRV record in your DNS. NOIP describes what this is and how to set it up on their service here, but it will of course differ for your DNS provider.

    This still requires that the Minecraft server port is directly accessible from the other clients, but it sounds like that is not the problem

    Well THAT'S super helpful! 🤦
  • Funnily enough, the CEO of PostNord Denmark also earns ~700k, but DKK, so that is around 1.5 time that, but for running the part of the company with more losses

    Younger people of Lemmy. Would you buy a CD at a concert?
  • Spotify at least does allow you to add local files on a computer, and they even sync tracks to your phone when they are on an offline playlist when the devices are on the same network. I've done that myself to get some otherwise unavailable songs into my catalogue, and am thinking of starting the move to owning all my music that way

    What is the strangest tech related bug you can't resolve?
  • If my desktop is sleeping, turning off my bathroom light will 2 out of 5 times wake up the pc.

    It's a fluorescent lamp, so it is likely that it makes considerable noise on the electrical circuit when being toggled (and it's a small apartment so all lights and outlets are on the same circuit)

    I believe I read a forum post from someone else experiencing the same thing, and they also had a Gigabyte motherboard. So it might be related to their bios/firmware implementation of wake-on-lan in some way.

    Why do phones come with SMS delivery reports turned off by default?
  • Even though many phone plans today have unlimited texts, some still don't. A delivery report is basically a second SMS, that you then have to pay for, so I think that is why it is an opt-in feature.

    What is the best linux alternative to OneNote?
  • My own use for OneNote was mainly drawing/hand written notes using a drawing tablet. For that use case, I have replaced it with Xournal++

    For other notes written with the keyboard, I use simple local markdown files.

    All my notes are synced between computers with Syncthing

    Is there a Linux based OS for public computers, such as at a library or a PC cafe?
  • Some Danish public libraries are using OS2borgerPC (citizenPC), which is a Linux system with remote management, with the source code here https://github.com/OS2borgerPC. It is developed by a collaboration of municipalities.

    The main website https://www.os2.eu/os2borgerpc is in Danish, but the main points are that the computers reset automatically on logout, automatically logs out after inactivity and the (self hosted) remote management platform which can alert in case of hardware or software keyloggers and handle automatic updates. There is also a price chart, but that seems to only be for Danish municipalities to join the collaboration.
