Hey, I had to update my feather wallet from 2.1 to the current one on macOS. Now with the new version I can't connect to a node as I'm getting a proxy error. The balance shows up but only in Monero and not in my currency and I can't receive or send anything. How can I fix this?

I was using amazon proxy setup before to play, I maxed out and haven't played for year, wanna hop on again but this time preferrably without setting up a vpn again lol

Stunnel is a secure, portable, scalable proxy that adds TLS encryption functionality to existing clients and servers without any code changes. pdp10 likes it "for converting an unencrypted TCP connection to TLS, or vice versa. A lot of legacy applications can be elegantly protected this way, particularly non-HTTP applications."

There is a value I'd like to update in Jenkins which is on the System Information page. This is the page where the values are hidden and have to be clicked for them to appear. Has anyone updated these before? Any help would be appreciated please.
It's the http.nonProxyHosts in particular which I'm trying to update. I did find a script in the CloudBees/jenkins-scripts repo but this updates the wrong part of Jenkins.

I have an Asus GT-AX11000 router and two Bose Soundtouch speakers. The router is running default Asus firmware version 3.0.0.4.388_24328.
The two speakers are connected to their own guest WiFi with access to the intranet. This is because they cannot connect to the main WiFi that is using the Tri-Band Smart Connect.
This setup used to work, but after either upgrading the firmware of the router or doing some changes in the settings of the router, then the speakers can no longer be found in the Bose app.
I can see that both speakers are connected to the WiFi (both on the speakers and in the client list in the router). After spending an hour with Bose support, they gave up and sent me a more technical description of the recommend setup in the router (copy pasted in the end of this).
Are there any secruty concerns in the recommendations?
If not, how do I do it? I looked for settings like multicast and IGMP in the router, but could only find IGMP Snooping which were already disabled.
Recommended router settings for Bose product compatibility
UPnP: Enable Multicast: Enable IGMP: Enable Wireless Isolation: Disable IGMP Proxy: Disable IGMP Snooping: Disable Wi-Fi Radio or Radio Mode: Mixed or B/G/N Stealth mode: Disable MAC Filtering/Access Control: Disable, or add the Bose system MAC address to allowed devices list WPS: Disable WAN IP Blocking: Disable Recommended router settings for Bose product performance Wireless channel: Fixed (select a specific channel); Auto-Channel selection is not recommended
Standard Wi-Fi uses 11 channels. Selecting the best channel might require trial and error. Choose channel 1 or 11 and observe the system to see if performance improves. If it does not, try the other channels until performance does improve
Security type: WPA-2(PSK) with AES Encryption
Some routers offer a mixed security mode of WPA (TKIP)/WPA-2 (AES) for compatibility with older products. Choose WPA-2 only if no networked devices depend on WPA or mixed mode. If unsure whether or not other networked devices will be affected, note the current security setting, switch to WPA-2 and try all other networked devices. If necessary, return to the previous security setting
WMM: Disable
This setting is intended to optimize streaming services but typically gives priority to voice or video streaming, which can negatively impact audio streaming or reserve bandwidth for voice or video devices even if they are off. Although disabling WMM is recommended, on some routers, enabling WMM improves performance. If WMM is disabled on the router and issues are experienced with your Bose product, enable WMM and check for improvement

Hey everyone,
In my latest deep dive, I've unpacked the ins and outs of using proxies to dodge those annoying scraping blocks. If you've ever found yourself getting flagged or blocked while trying to collect data, you know how frustrating it can be. Enter proxies, the unsung heroes of the web scraping world.
Basically, a proxy is your digital stunt double. It steps in between you and the server you're trying to scrape, masking your real IP address under the guise of anonymity. This little bit of trickery is super useful because it keeps your scraping activities under the radar.
When it comes to choosing the right type of proxy, the landscape's pretty varied. You've got your transparent, anonymous, and high-anonymity proxies, which all offer different levels of, well, anonymity. And then there's the whole debate between data center proxies, ISP proxies, residential proxies, and the elusive mobile proxies. Speaking from experience, mobile proxies are gold for web scraping. They're tough for sites to block since they run on networks where IPs are shared among heaps of devices.
Now, I know there’s temptation to go for free proxies (because who doesn't love free stuff, right?), but from what I've seen, paying for commercial proxy services is the way to go. They're just way more reliable, and when you're knee-deep in data collection, the last thing you need is a flaky proxy.
So, there you have it. My two cents on navigating the proxy waters in the vast ocean of web scraping. Happy scraping, folks!

I've spent the last few months writing my master thesis in economics focusing on prediction market forecasting accuracy. I was hoping to get some final thoughts or comments, since this is probably the place where the average knowledge of PM's is the highest.
My selling point is that there is a gap in the literature, a hole which is perfectly filled by the launch of Kalshi. Historically, most research on PM's focus on election forecasting, I'm interested in looking at how well they forecast economic variables, since I see it as a possibly cheaper, easier and more efficient way of forecasting than compared to traditional time series methods.
The previous research looking at how well PM's forecast economic variables are plagued by two issues. First off, there is some research looking at data from Economic Indicator Market (EIX) (Teschner et al. (2011) for example) which is specifically designed to forecast economic variables, however, it is a play money market, and as Rosenbloom and Notz (2006) show, play money markets are beaten by real money markets.
Secondly, the research I've seen looking at real money markets for economic variables primarily looks at future contracts markets (Snowberg et al. (2013) for example), which is problematic as a proxy for prediction markets, since the contracts are tied to actual physical delivery of the underlying good, and thus their prices lack the property of being interpreted as probabilities for the future, the prices contain other information than pure opinions about the future price of the underlying good. Also, in both of the examples I've included here, the papers compare PM forecasts with some sort of expert survey. So far there is no paper looking at how well PM's fare against time series forecasting methodologies (to my knowledge), and this is of interest IMO.
Thus, the launch of Kalshi is an opportunity to study real money prediction market forecasts of economic variables (which has hitherto not been done), and also compare these forecasts with some benchmark like ARIMA forecasts, as well as some more advanced methods, in my case machine learning methods, specifically LSTM algorithms. I look at two weekly markets, the one for US treasury 10Y yield and for WTI crude oil prices.
So, what do you think? Do you see any potential issues with this line of thinking? What do you think I should bring up as background? Any interesting theories on how PMs work so well?
Also, in my results, I find that for the 10Y yield market, the PM is significantly better at forecasting the yield than both the benchmark and a LSTM algorithm, this is somewhat surprising since the average dollar volume of the market in the period 2023-04 to today, is roughly $50. There is no data on number of market participants, only dollar volume. But using this as a proxy of market size (preferably I would want number of market participants), the results seem surprising. Such a small market but it is still remarkably good at forecasting 10Y yield. The overall MAPE for the PM is 1.76%, compared to 1.95% for the LSTM and 2.89% for the ARIMA.
For the WTI crude oil market the LSTM outperforms the other methods by quite a margin, the LSTM has a MAPE of 2.7%, compared to a value of 3.11% for the PM and 3.35 for the ARIMA.
Appreciate any thoughts, thanks!

Hi all,
I've been running a Plex Media Server with the "arr" services on a standalone Windows PC, only accessible on the home network. The current hardware is:
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (4.2Ghz, 6 core) NVidia GeForce GT 1030 - does a great job of transcoding for Plex 16gb RAM, DDR4 2133Mhz - yes, the next thing I buy for this would be more RAM.
500gb Samsung 980 SSD 8TB HDD (only one drive, but currently it only has media downloaded for Plex, so I won't cry if it dies and I lose everything).
Recently I've been putting some though and research into upping the game, and this sub has been great. What I want to try in the near term:

• Change OS to a Linux server (Debian/Ubuntu, not sure the pros/cons of each)
• Use Docker to serve Plex and the arrs
• Set-up a reverse proxy to allow outsiders to access my Plex
• Implement some server admin stuff (Dashboard, IoT, DNS/PiHole etc)
• I don't really NEED a NAS, but I would if it makes anything else easier.

In the mid-term (when I get more hardware)

• Host a cloud service (NextCloud)
• I wouldn't mind being able to spin up some VMs on it if I want to tinkeplay

My questions for the gurus here:

• Is my hardware sufficient to achieve at least my near-term goals? Noting I've been doing basically the same through Windows on the same machine, I think it should be fine.
• I see a lot of people here running Docker inside Proxmox with VMs set up for media servers, network admin and whatever other segregation one might want. I'm just interested in people's opinions about if that's right for my use case. Is there a scenario where I run Docker with all of my Media Server and Network Admin containers directly on the server, but also have Proxmox running next to it, for tinkering purposes?
• Is there a good piece of software for general network admin/parental controls that anyone can recommend? I'm talking about blocking/allowing devices, time limits, traffic monitoring etc. I don't like what came with my TP-Link router, it is clunky and works rarely.

Thanks for reading and I appreciate any feedback or assistance.

Even if I use an United States IP (172.233.144.199), I still cannot download abc.com videos and always get the following error message:
ERROR: [Go] 1002:You appear to be outside the United States or its territories. Due to international rights agreements, we only offer this video to viewers located within the United States and its territories.

You might want to use a VPN or a proxy server (with --proxy) to workaround.

Hi.
I have just set up Nextcloud and used Nginx Proxy Manager to expose the ports.
But when i set up the nextcloud to use my own domain i sett it up to use Let's Encrypt. But when i go to my nextcloud domain i shows that the SSL is verified by Google Trust Services LLC.
So was wondering if i had done enything wrong or is it safe to use Google Trust Services LLC also?

The more I research Proxmox and TrueNas Scale, the more I think they are overkill for my use case.
My home lab started with a pi4 8Gb, 3 Years ago, and now, I'm migrating to an HP EliteDesk 800 G3 i7, mainly because I want to have a faster NAS, as I will put a 2.5Gb NIC via PCIe.
Initially, I intend to have two 12Tb HDDs, mirror, and run these services with docker:

• nginx-proxy-manager
• pi-hole
• Home-Assistant
• Zigbee2Mqtt
• glutun + the stack
• Jellyfin
• portainer (optional, I have all my docker-compose files in Git)
• private docker registry
• Samba server

The impression is that I can survive by just running 1 command:

sudo zpool create Tank mirror ata-id-1 ata-id-2 

It even auto-mounts on boot.
Am I missing something? Are there any benefits that would compensate for the extra headache of maintaining multiple VMS? (besides the obvious ones like isolation, multiple ips, etc.)
Thanks!

During Putin's visit to China, Putin was greeted with a grand and respectful welcome, highlighting the strongest diplomatic ties between Russia and China.
On the other hand, the USA is burdened with over $34 trillion. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects that interest payments will total $870 billion in fiscal year 2024 and rise rapidly throughout the next decade—climbing from $951 billion in 2025 to $1.6 trillion. In the next decade, net interest payments will be over $12.4 trillion.
If I speak, the majority of typical Americans express their anger towards me and utilize offensive language. This is what I perceive as an authentic representation of American culture. The majority of American lack knowledge, exhibit ignorance, harbor hatred, lack respect, lack curiosity, and struggle to differentiate between right and wrong but are strongly opinionated. In essence, most American citizens prioritize their own desires, disregarding fundamental principles of civility and consciousness. To them, engaging in warfare equates to amusement and a stronger economy.
Following the Second World War, the United States experienced economic prosperity, leading to its emergence as an economic powerhouse. For that reason, most American believe warfare symbolizes power and pride. In contrast, throughout the Dark Ages, Europeans engaged in internal conflicts and launched three Crusades against Muslims, resulting in bloodbaths and destruction, not an economic powerhouse. The Europeans we witness today are a consequence of the deceptive foreign policies implemented by East India Companies in the name of trade rather than warfare. Similarly, the United States we observe today is a product of the "Good Faith financial product and trade currency Dollar," represented by the IMF and World Bank, rather than warfare. Warfare signifies destruction and permission to commit acts of violence and sexual assault.
During the Cold War, all US presidents made great efforts to avoid direct war with the Soviet Union. The rivalry between the Soviet Union and the USA began in the early 1919s, with communism reaching its peak. Both nations engaged in proxy wars using puppets rather than directly confronting each other, as the consequences would have been devastating. After the Cold War, the USA lacked a clear foreign policy, leading to uncertain world relations. The influence of foreign intelligence and lobbyists on the US media can make it challenging to grasp the political landscape. There are concerns that the media shapes the image of US politicians and influences policy decisions and public opinion. Additionally, there are allegations that the media promotes certain candidates and perpetuates false narratives.
As of today, in the first quarter, China sold a significant amount of Treasury and US agency bonds, indicating the country's strategy to diversify its assets away from American holdings amidst ongoing trade tensions.
My prediction was the USA would crash in 2032.
