Excellent.

It’s more of a crime to have the apostrophe’s wrong in the first place.

;)

In my opinion it is its limited suitability for (my) common image editing needs. I.e. add a white text with black border to an image.

But these are my requirements. The developers don’t have to cater to them if they don’t want to. I in turn can decide to not use the program or add the features I would like to see myself (It’s the former for me).

That is the way it is.

Edit: The name gimp was never an issue for me. There are far worse.

You might be confusing public IP addresses with ports?

I mean publicly addressable address like in: not in a private network where SNAT/ masquerading is in place between the torrent-client’s host and the Internet.

It was mentioned, that no port forwarding is in place.

Not sure why you would sometimes see your status as fully connectable

One side of the connection needs a public address, not both. When both parties don’t have a publicly addressable IP, the status is firewalled. I guess.

Let the patch be part of the code for one or two minor releases. Then revert the changes of the patch.

To blow leaves.

Essence:

In cognitive science, we say the carrot is “prototypical” – for our idea of a vegetable, it occupies the centre of the web of associations which defines the concept.

I don’t carrot all.

Not anymore, you don’t!

I assume you want to access a self hosted service on your local server from the Internet.

To make the service accessible from the Internet multiple things are required:

• the router can be accessed from the outside. Find your public IP in the router or use a find-my-ip website. Better: do both. This is the address you can use to access your router (or whatever service you choose to expose through it). Side note: If the Ip-adresses of your router and the one of the find- my- ip- site are different it could mean that your provider uses CG-NAT (because ipv4- addresses are scarce, the provider doesn’t give you a real publicly accessible address). This means you can’t access your router from the Internet. Try IPv6 or contact your provider to get a publicly accessible ipv4- address.
• because the above mentioned IP- address of your router might change, dyndns is used. Configure it in your router and test it. Test if the DNS- name you have set up resolves to your ip- address (nslookup or ping it).
• to make your service available to the Internet you need to configure port forwarding in your router (or add your server as exposed host - means all ports are forwarded to the Internet). This means the router passes request to itself on to your internal server. Careful: everybody can access whatever services you expose. Advice: it’s a good idea to use a VPN. Setup a VPN-server in your Lan and only port-forward its port in the router. Connect to the VPN from the outside - Afterwards use the internal services through the vpn- connection.
• scripts and the internal ip: the dyndns name needs to be used instead of the IP. Find a way to make the scripts use that name to resolve it to your external IP.
