    Sockstat output for Incoming Connections on UDP

    Googling for 'udp pinhole' and 'udp hole punching' will probably prove insightful. In short, systems may preserve a pseudo-state for NAT and firewalling purposes.

    Set your preferences to "Yes, with email". It's not exactly difficult.

    Members with fewer than 10 posts and fewer than 10 days of membership can edit their posts for 24 hours. After reaching those milestones, there is no limit.

    Change in sign-up data / GDPR

    For a long time, we have requested Date of Birth and Location when creating a new account. We did this exclusively as an additional anti-spam measure: the more you frustrate an automatic spam account creating process (as used by many spam organizations) by requesting 'unexpected mandatory data'...

    Best way to manage ports?

    Look into PRIORITY_BOOST in poudriere.conf. This is an awesome tool, and it needs configuration. A common setting is PRIORITY_BOOST="gcc* llvm* rust".

    email everything from watched forums?

    It doesn't exist. XenForo sends 'the first unread message' in a watched forum. Until you visit the forum and 'watch' the message (making another one unwatched), nothing will trigger. So, having a parallel mailing list equivalent of these forums is not an option.

    username problem

    BTW, you can always request a username change, the barrier is only applicable to sign-ups.

    username problem

    It is sad it had to come to this, but banning a large list of Firstname entries has literally kept thousands of spammers out in just a few days. Just type Lloyd or Arthur into the search box at https://stopforumspam.com/search. It is what it is.

    Forum Time Zone

    So far as I know, the forums are totally time zone agnostic, they use Unix seconds internally. Your browser is totally responsible for showing you the correct local time. Compare it with https://www.epoch101.com/ and https://www.epochconverter.com/ which work the same way.

    Why FreeBSD? Why not Devuan?

    Is there a Handbook? Is there a FAQ? Nobody is going to do your homework for you.

    Fifteen second wait for profile posts?

    This measure was put into place to prevent angry leaving members from sitting down and deleting all of their posts out of spite, potentially ruining hundreds of topics. It is possible for an admin to reinstate all of those deleted posts (and they will), but it is a lot of work. Anyone who wants...

    Fifteen second wait for profile posts?

    It is not so much an anti-spam feature as it is an anti-chat feature. Before this 'cooling off timer' was imposed, there was quite a lot of rapid-fire back & forward, especially between people who didn't really get along and started bickering. No two specific people, it just happens on forums...

    unable to negotiate ssh to old Linux

    Also: look for KexAlgorithms in ssh_config. If you find something that works, make it permanent in ~/.ssh/config
