I wonder if no one is left at Microsoft that knows enough about the core systems to actually improve those… So the best they can do is throw more shit on top

It’s an amazing game for the engineer brained, finally got the principles of air conditioning through to me playing on Vulcanus and Venus!

Okay sure, for a specific use case yes you can point a record to a private IP, however this explicitly doesn’t expose your homelab to the web. I misunderstood OPs intention.

You can’t point to 192.168.X.X that’s your local network IP address. You need to point to your public IP address which you can find by just searching ‘what is my IP’. Note that you can’t be behind CGNAT for this, and either need a static IP or dynamic DNS configuration. Be aware of the risks involved exposing your home server to the internet in this manner.

We could definitely move into industry in space, but a lot of technology still needs to be developed. I think we now have the capacity to launch factories in pieces into space, but asteroid mining remains a technical challenge due as we now know that many asteroids are not so compacted. Furthermore, refining the raw materials in space can’t really be done right now, we probably could figure it out, but parts of the production chain do depend on gravity so we’d need to figure out artificial gravity on a rotating station or do some more direct kind of centrifugal refining. All hurdles we could probably cross. Then comes the question of what you drop back down from space and how you do it. Current heat shield technologies are generally poorly reusable, and even if we were we’d have to be flying the reentry devices back into space. Unless we create a cheap means to protect something from reentry that can be manufactured in space as a disposable, most goods would never be returned to earth. Unless we just refine giant cubes of rare metals and drop them into the ocean to be collected. I think most things made in space would be limited to serving those in space, or in lower gravity locations such as the moon or other asteroid bases. I would love to work on these challenges but there’s very few companies working on these challenges outside of a couple of asteroid capture startups that seem to have no further vision.

Yeah they use DMA hardware controlled by another PC to completely bypass the kernel level anticheat. It basically makes their wallhacks and some other things that aren’t replicated by the server completely imperceptible. I think anti cheat lost the arms race, we need to return to community run servers with dedicated teams of mods and admins to keep an eye on this stuff.
