If you are port forwarding. I recommend not exposing it on the default port of 25565 and instead expose it as a random port. Then, assuming you have a domain name, create an SRV record that points to your IP and port. This will cut down on the drive by scanners who scan by ports, but won't totally eliminate it. If you do use the SRV record, your friends won't even notice there's a different port.

Ah yeah. Mono didn't support WPF, but Mono did support running WinForms apps natively on Linux without using Wine.
.net core is the future but Mono is still important for running legacy .net framework applications like ones that use WinForms or WPF. That's pretty much it. Anything new should go straight to .net core.
I actually have a double sided male A cable. I was shocked when I got it but I have this laptop cooler that has two A ports on it, presumably to allow a pass through but I'm always nervous that I'll plug it in and fry something.
There's two main ways of doing geo-based load balancing:
- IP Any-casting - In this case, an IP address is "homed" in multiple spots and through the magic of IP routing, it arrives at the nearest location. This is exactly how 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 work. It works fine for stateless packets like DNS, however it has some risks for stateful traffic like HTTP.
- DNS based load balancing. A server receives a request for "google.com", looks at the IP of the DNS server and/or the EDNS Client IP in the DNS query packet and returns an IP that's near. The problem is that when you're doing Wireguard, it goes phone -> pi-hole (source IP is some internal IP) -> the next hop (e.g. 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8), which sees the packet is coming from your home/pi-hole's public IP. Thus it gets confused and thinks you're in a different location than you really are. Neither of these hops really knows your true location of your phone/mobile device.
Of course, this doesn't matter for companies that only have one data center.
Sorry, what do you mean route it directly? Maybe I didn't clarify well enough.
My DNS is routed over the VPN but Internet traffic is routed directly. The problem is the load balancing is done based on where the DNS server is so say Google even though the traffic egresses directly to the internet bypassing the VPN it still goes to a Google DC near my home. Not all websites do this so its not always an issue.
Yes, but if you hit a company doing DNS based load balancing, DNS is going to return an IP that's near to your DNS server which may not be near your device. That's going to add to the latency.
I have Wireguard and I forward DNS and my internal traffic from my phone over the VPN to my pi-hole at home. All other traffic goes directly over the Internet, not the VPN. So that means only DNS encounters higher latency.
However, because a lot of companies do DNS based geo load balancing that means even if I'm on the east coast all my traffic gets sent to the West Coast because my DNS server is located there. That right there has the biggest impact on latency.
It's tolerable on the same continent, but once I start getting into other continents then it gets a bit slow.
Yes fiduciary duty to the shareholder is sometimes misunderstood but this is in scope.
Everything can be securities fraud:

Or just used wired connections. This is targeting wifi cameras and doorbells.
They could and clearly they should have done that but hindsight is 20/20. Software is complex and there's a lot of places that invalid data could come in.
This is my biggest challenge with this extension. What's clickbait to one person is not to another. Several times I've come across titles that get mangled when rewritten to lose key points. Or the image gets replaced with a random screen grab. There's a difference between somebody doing the YouTube face and a title with "the craziest stunt you've ever seen" and an artist photo with a title saying the "a crazy stunt jump through a burning hoop". I'm okay with the latter but dearrow will often remove crazy. The is just an contrived example
One person could still say "crazy" makes it clickbait, but having some adjectives are fine
