  • How will a reverse proxy help?

    Things that a reverse proxy is often used for:

    • making multiple services hosted on the same IP and port
    • SSL termination so that the wider world speaks https and the proxy speaks http to the server. This means the server doesn’t have to do its own key management
    • load balancing services so multiple servers can serve the same request (technically a load balancer but I believe some reverse proxies do basic load balancing)
    • adding authentication in front of services that don’t have their own (note that some of the protections/utility is lost if you use http. Anyone who can see your traffic will also be able to authenticate. It’s not zero protection though because random internet users probably can’t see your traffic)
    • probably something I’m forgetting

    Do any of these match what you’re trying to accomplish? What do you hope to gain by adding a reverse proxy (or maybe some other software better suited to your need)?

    Edit: you say you want to keep this service ‘private from the web’. What does that mean? Are you trying to have it so only clients you control can access your service? You say that you already have some services hosted publicly using port forwarding. What do you want to be different about this service? Assuming that you do need it to be secured/limited to a few known clients, you also say that these clients are too weak to run SSL. If that’s the case, then you have two conflicting requirements. You can’t simultaneously have a service that is secure (which generally means cryptographically) and also available to clients which cannot handle cryptography.

    Apologies if I’ve misunderstood your situation


  • Could you post the specific output of the commands that don’t work? It’s almost impossible to help with just ‘It doesn’t work’. Like when ping fails, what’s the error message. Is it a timeout or a resolution failure. What does the resolvectl command I shared show on the laptop. If you enable logging on the DNS server, do you see the requests coming in when you run the commands that don’t work.





  • I’ve setup okular signing and it worked, but I believe it was with a mime certificate tied to my email (and not pgp keys). If you want I can try to figure out exactly what I did to make it work.

    Briefly off the top of my head, I believe it was

    1. Getting a mime certificate for my email from an authority that provides them. There’s one Italian company that will do this for any email for free.
    2. Converting the mime certificate to some other format
    3. Importing the certificate to Thunderbird’s (or maybe it was Firefox’s) certificate store (and as a sidequest setting up Thunderbird to sign email with that certificate
    4. Telling Okular to use the Thunderbird/Firefox certificate store as the place to find certificates

    I can’t remember if there was a way to do this with pgp certificates easily











  • Is the bad side of the seam where it stops or where it starts printing the outer wall? I assume it’s where it stops and then it cross the wall to form the infill?

    To add to the PA questions, are you sure that your PA setting actually are changing anything?

    What printer is this and what firmware?

    Does a spiral mode print work fine?

    What if you print the part significantly slower (to rule out rigidity/acceleration issues)
