  1. I tried to set one up, but I always ran into an issue where a certain config file didn't exist in a specific place, and I could not continue the installation. How can I do this using SSH, assuming that the connection is TCP only?
  2. Hello I have a game running on my computer at home and I want to run it through a VPS that I own so people can't ddos me. The diagram looks like this: I know this can be done with OpenVPN, but I don't know how to set it up. Where would I look to learn how to set such a thing up? I tried this but there wasn't anything specific https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/24838/how-to-hide-a-mmorpg-backend-server-from-the-internet Any ideas? Edit: can this be done with ssh?
  3. lol good luck passing that with all the money and lobbing that those companies will put into making sure that never happens, it's never gonna happen.
  4. Yes, but it would be helpful if you gave me some specific software or tool/ some steps to follow. I would like to avoid openVPN, because it doesn't seem to work for me.
  5. So I have a computer that has a game playing on port 555. I can port forward it, and people can connect to my ip address at 1.1.1.1:555. Let's say I have a computer B at address 2.2.2.2, which I don't care that people know the IP address to. How can I port forward my game from computer A, to computer B, and then have people connect to computer B at 2.2.2.2 at port 555?
  6. I really, really hope it's this and I don't need to fish a wire through the walls, but upon unscrewing one of the sockets I could not find evidence of a second cable somewhere in there. But it's odd, because there are 7 ethernet sockets in my house (including the ones that supposedly don't go downstairs), and there are 7 CAT5e cables down stairs. You know, I *could* unscrew the useless coaxial cable in the bypassed ethernet panel (the one we are discussing is attached to only another panel) and attach it to an ethernet cable, and just pull it down to the patch panel all the way down... could I actually do this? Is it standard for fished coaxial or Cat5 telephone cable wires to be nailed to anything inside of the house? ? I really don't need them
  7. @Brink2Three Another question for you: For some very odd reason, one of the ethernet panels seems to be connected to another ethernet panel somewhere else in the house. I tested this and I got above 100mbps speeds (500mbps). Does that mean that those two ethernet panels are ruined, and the contractor who installed it messed it up? Or is it possible that they daisy chained it somehow? is it even possible to daisy chain ethernet? I'm so confused now There are 7 ethernet ports in my house, and 7 blue twisty cables in that bundle. Two ports are connected to each other, but there are still 7 ethernet cords there?????? My house also has coax and telephone lines (many more of these), hinted by the telephone punch down block over there
  8. Wow, thank you all for the information! I'm going to go down and respond to all of the posts I was planning to move my router downstairs where the cable is once I fixed this (there is an ethernet jack where my router is) Oh I see! I have heard of an ethernet switch before. Oh.... I see... This is really informative! The punchdown block seems really simple; the wires are color coded, so I assume I just connect them to their colors and it will work? The issue arises where it's a big mess of wires. >_< I don't need to pay 300$ for a technician to do that lol Would something like this work? https://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-Wallmount-Ethernet-N050-012/dp/B000067SC6/ Thanks so much guys!

    hi
  10. I don't understand, what does a punchdown block do, and why do I need it anyways? Does it just connect all of the ethernet cables together?
  11. The back of which modem? The modem I took a picture of isn't for internet I don't think; it's a telephone modem My internet modem is connected via cable, and it's upstairs
  12. My internet is working, the actual ethernet ports installed with my house are not
  13. I moved into a new house, and it seems like the ethernet outlets don't seem to be working, and I don't know why! This is what I think is the place where the ethernet wires meet (along with the cable wires, which work). https://imgur.com/a/QHaB1E4 Is there any way I can get this thing to work?
  14. do you know a tutorial that goes over the topic
  15. Is it possible to make google home say something after checking another thing (with webhooks)? At this point, I was looking into making my own project https://developers.google.com/actions/smarthome/create https://developers.google.com/actions/
  16. How can I make my google home say the contents of a GET request? I saw IFTTT has the ability to have it run an action, but no ability for it to respond with special information, such as the response of a curl request can I make it do this? https://ifttt.com/google_assistant I would have it curl using webhooks, then have it respond with the response.
  17. Why would they spend thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars just to allow free streaming for such a small minority of their users?
  18. How can I transcribe audio to text with offline software? I don't want to pay 300$ for software or google transcription services; is there any way I can get my computer to transcribe the audio using offline software? I know mac has dictation which works very well offline, but how can I do this offline with an audio file which is 3 hours in length? Also, if it's possible, is there any way to not make it take 3 hours to transcribe it? All existing solutions involve rerouting the audio from your mac into your mic, which is an absolutely awful solution, as that would take hours to transcribe, and I do not want to leave my mac running for hours; Any way to do this on linux server?
  19. I want to replace patterns on a line number This line number would be incrementally changed (imagine an iterative variable that counts how many lines ) and supplied in the code as the line number and also for the pattern to be replaced. I tried doing this using sed and bash variables but to no avail. count=$((count)) for line in `cat dates.txt`; #enumerates through dates.txt, it is the same amount of lines that uploadscriptnodate.sh is do count=$((count + 1)) #creates variable count echo $count echo $line sed '{$count}s/ASFKJL/{$line}/' uploadscriptnodate.sh #i can't figure out how to use variables within sed or awk for that matter done Any ideas? Contents of dates.txt and uploadscriptnodate.sh dates.txt uploadscriptnodate.sh
