Specifically, it’s any peer-to-peer (P2P) connections that utilize a port that’s not open by default on your router. P2P connections that need forwarding are used in services like PC gaming (usually in older titles or some indie games), VoIP, torrenting, etc.
If you’re doing a peer-to-peer (P2P) related activity, port forwarding is very important for improving speed or enabling the service at all. That’s because your router blocks incoming traffic from certain ports by default, ports that are used for a P2P connection. To get around this, you can ‘forward’ the specific port that is used for the P2P activity you’re using, letting your router know that the traffic you expect to see from a specific port is good to let through.
You can simply leave port forwarding to your personal router, but if you want to stay anonymous while participating in P2P connections, then you’ll want to use a VPN service. If a VPN service doesn’t utilize port forwarding, then any P2P connections you use will either be straight up impossible, or very slow over the VPN. The P2P service you’re attempting to use needs to access a specific port on the VPN’s router, which needs forwarding to work properly. For example, you wanted to host a gaming server without giving away your actual IP address, then a VPN with port forwarding is desirable. The same can be said for torrenting.
TL;DR: VPNS with port forwarding matter if you want to stay anonymous while using P2P services.
I’m on Desktop from Kbin and it shows up: https://kbin.social/m/technology@lemmy.world/t/354342/Oil-companies-are-hiring-TikTok-influencers-to-court-young-people
I kinda get it. I get interrupted by so much random bullshit during the work week, focusing on projects is hard. Much easier to browse social media at work, respond to email, get out occasionally to do chores, etc. Some light productivity, but deeper concentration is hard.
Friday is usually my go-to project day. People tend to leave me alone enough so I can actually dig in. I’m content with my current situation so I don’t feel a need to work on weekends, but I can totally see how that might be more enjoyable. Not working the entire weekend, just a few hours on Saturday morning where no one will fucking bother me. Could probably get so much more shit done in way less time.
And allowing witnesses to be intimidated is like allowing trump to have a Javelin in your tank analogy. For the cases to be prosecuted correctly, the necessary witnesses need to give their testimony without fear of retaliation. He needs to be put into pre-trail detainment.
What is it actually going to take to put this fucker in jail? Does he need to intimidate 20 witnesses first? I hate that the justice system feels they need to walk on eggshells around this wanna-be dictator cry baby.
Weird, link is working for me. Is it still down for you?
Destiny 2 comes to mind. Bungie has indicated there’s 0 interest in making it compatible with Linux ever.
Usually if it can’t run on Linux it’s because of kernel level anti-cheat. The vast majority of Steam’s library works out of the box with Proton nowadays.
I’m gonna wager that he breaks it in one covfefe.

Trump jail any% speedrun, lets gooooooo
As someone who has no kids, I enjoy the fuck out of some Bluey.
A well-written and thought-provoking post. I’ve already seen some discussion in the comments that highlighted some of my thoughts, so I’ll avoid being redundant and will just say thanks for this contribution. I really hope this is kind of discussion is reflective of this community going forward.
I’ve only been able to attend a few sessions with an autistic adult focused therapist, and it was very helpful. They did a great job of prioritizing what we could tackle from week-to-week and it was instrumental for me getting my first job after college.
Which is the other thing that would be really great, some kind of resource that could help autistic adults with the job application process. Mostly with how to interact with recruiters, how to set expectations, and specialized interview prep.
