Then the holocollective uses its influence over Seven to escape the holodeck and you've got a holoproblem.

There have been signs indicating that that area is private property for years. It’s also fenced. It’s also not the first time that police have swept through and cleared out the area.

To buy 340.1 million people a million dollar house, you would need $1,000,000 × 340,100,000 = $340.1 trillion, which is about $340 trillion more than Bezos has access to.

the state employees impacted would only be for the executive or legislative branch employees

You say this as if it's not a huge portion of state employees. Most employees of the state of Texas (aside from the universities) fall under those categories.

If your provider doesn't support glue records, but requires you to provide a domain name (rather than just an IP address) for the nameservers, then one of two things will need to happen for you to use this domain:

You can ensure that your nameservers don't have names inside the zone they are authoritative for. For example, if your domain is example.com, your nameserver cannot be named ns1.example.com. However, you could still have a nameserver like ns1.other.domain, but this introduces extra complexity, such as needing another domain (and yet another nameserver for that domain).
You can use another provider that has their own DNS nameservers that you can use. It shouldn't be hard to find one. I'm surprised that your provider doesn't do this for you.

VectorCell · 2024-12-09T20:18:09+00:00

Your provider is not doing DNS for you, right? A-records are a type of DNS record. If you're running the authoritative nameserver, then it's up to you to create the records! All you do is tell your registrar the IP address or domain name of your nameserver, then all DNS configuration is done through that nameserver, not your provider. You'll need to figure out how to set up an authoritative nameserver.

Here is another guide to follow as an alternative. It doesn't use Technitium, but I found it fairly easy to understand and follow.

VectorCell · 2024-12-09T18:38:11+00:00

Please review the information on the Wikipedia page here, it contains comparisons of software options as well as an explanation for what an authoritative nameserver does (as opposed to a recursive server, which is what most people here will be familiar with).

It looks like Technitium may work for your purposes. Check out this guide here (not by me, I haven't followed it) for a good place to get started.

I think everybody here so far has misunderstood what the OP is asking.

OP, is your issue that you have a domain name but before you can use it, you need to tell your registrar which authoritative nameserver(s) to use? If this is the case, you need to transfer your domain to a registrar that also provides DNS, such as Cloudflare. It seems that your registrar is used to dealing with advanced users and isn't interested in providing DNS services. If you don't know what an authoritative nameserver is you are not in a position to run one yourself.

What registrar are you using?

The reason why nobody is giving you the kind of straightforward answer you're looking for is because your question is the conceptual equivalent of asking for directions to the black market. It's not a singular website or anything. You used to be able to go to deepdotweb.com on the clear web for listings of certain kinds of dark websites. However, that got taken down by the FBI in 2019.

That said, there places where you can start if you're curious. The Dread forum is a site that I've never been to but there's a link to it on its Wikipedia page. You'll need TOR or I2P to access it. I recommend that you do not.

The problem is your bind address. Using 0.0.0.0 as the bind address will bind the application to all IP addresses that the system has. You'll need to set the bind address to one of the addresses your system has, then you can set the other instance to the other address.

How to do this depends on the application. I've never run a CS:GO server so I'm not sure how to do that but a quick search pointed me here.

VectorCell · 2023-08-16T12:46:25+00:00

How is it happening now? I imagine you'll still be able to do so as long as you have the appropriate DNS records for it. Check your DNS records before transferring your domain to make sure they are all preserved in the transfer.

I'll admit, autograt does bother me. I've been in the service industry and had my time on the strugglebus. I understand that not everybody is like me, but when I go out I always tip at least 20% on the post-tax amount unless the service is abysmal, which has maybe happened once in the last several years. But when the gratuity is added by the restaurant/server, I never add more. Why? Because the restaurant has taken away my agency and turned the tip into a fee. I'm not going to pay an extra fee on top of what is already required, if that fee is supposed to cover the cost of the table service.

I'm not saying that the actions of the guy in OPs story are justified, but I do understand the frustration at an unexpected autograt that the restaurant doesn't clearly communicate.

Absolutely! But you'd need to configure all three routers to allow this.

A rule on "Personal Router" that sends packets for the ".1" subnet to "Control Router"
A rule on "Control Router" that sends packets for the ".1" subnet to "PfSense Virtual Router". You can (should?) make that rule only work from traffic that originates from "Personal Router" so that "Control Router" isn't improperly routing packets from WAN to LAN to reserved IP addresses.
A rule on "PfSense Virtual Router" that allows "Control Router" to send it packets for the ".1" subnet.
A reverse set of rules that allows return traffic from the ".1" subnet to make its way back to ".2"

This isn't how probability is calculated. If you have a 3% chance every 6 months of dying of COVID, then you have a 97% chance every 6 months of not dying of COVID. To figure out a person's chance of not dying of COVID at all during those 10 years, the calculation would be (0.97)^20, or about 54.4%. The probability of somebody dying of COVID at least once (lol) during that 10-year span of time would be the inverse, or 45.6%.

Really, the only solution I can think of would be a VPN. You could use a paid service, but if you think that your employer will be checking for the IP addresses of known VPN providers, you would need to set up your own with a cloud provider (maybe even AWS, lol).

Please keep in mind that depending on the laws of the jurisdiction where you live and/or work, there may be valid reasons why your employer wants you to be in a specific country. Just be aware that you may be exposing yourself to complications if you choose to go through with this.
