  • Just to confirm the gist of what the admins have been saying in here, they don’t really care about your address or even the fact that you’re registered with your daily one.

    Source: My account has an obviously bogus e-mail address associated with it. (I don’t remember what exactly). By applying what little charm I have, I still have a valid SJW account.

    Sure, I won’t be able to do password recovery via email and other QoL stuff, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.






  • I knew how to operate a hunting rifle by the time I was 12, and I’m not even American.

    And if you can operate a hunting rifle, you can operate an assault rifle to a reasonable degree. Not much training needed.

    And the principle is easy to figure out. When I was in the army, while I was a recruit, this guy in my platoon had never touched a weapon before, and he was pretty nervous the first day on the shooting range because he was on a different training course the day we got introduced to the basics. But he figured it out by intuition; get the cartridge into the chamber, and get the hammer to hit the firing pin.

    There are only so many mechanical things one can do with a rifle, and if you try a few things you’re likely to figure it out.





  • Are you able to ask your ISP customer service to set up port forwarding for you?

    At minimal you want HTTP (Port 80) but you probably want HTTPS (443) as well. If you’re hosting DNS as well you will need port 53 too.

    Have those ports routed to the “inside” IP of the machine you want to use, and the rest of it is basically just setting up the webserver (and possibly DNS) to serve your domain.

    NB: While on the phone with your ISP, ask them what the DHCP lease time is. Ideally you want a static IP for your setup.
