how NAT traversal works https://tailscale.com/blog/how-nat-traversal-works
tackling firewalls:
« But connections and “direction” are a figment of the protocol designer’s imagination. »
« Our only constraint is that the machine that’s behind the firewall must be the one initiating all connections. Nothing can talk to it, unless it talks first. »
« packets must flow out before packets can flow back in [...] However, nothing says the packets must be related to each other beyond the IPs and ports lining up correctly »
« We’re going to lose some packets in this process. »
tackling NAT with STUN:
« We’re back to our stateful firewall problem, only worse: both sides have to speak first, but neither side knows to whom to speak, and can’t know until the other side speaks first. »
« your machine sends a “what’s my endpoint from your point of view?” request to a STUN server »
« Each socket gets a different mapping on the NAT device, so in order to discover your public ip:port, you have to send and receive STUN packets from the socket that you intend to use for communication »
« an assumption we made earlier: when the STUN server told us that we’re 2.2.2.2:4242 from its perspective, we assumed that meant that we’re 2.2.2.2:4242 from the entire internet’s perspective »
« The “easy” and “hard” NATs above differ in a single dimension: whether or not their NAT mappings depend on what the destination is. »

What You Can Not See
You can not see more than you can see. -
I was recently thinking again in a post (https://quasselkopf.de/users/kranzkrone/statuses/116903442436234586) about shutting down my Mastodon instance and, as a result, logging out of the Fediverse. 🙄
Because using someone else’s instance just isn’t an option for me!After that, I gave it some more thought and once again came to the realization, and found the explanation, for why I still run my own Mastodon instance.
I’m particular about how I communicate, partly because I’ve often experienced exclusion in the past, and that happens even faster in the digital space than in real life.
That’s why I manage my hosting independently as much as possible, so that I can be as independent as possible with my projects (blog/Mastodon/etc.), in other words, so that I have digital sovereignty! ‼️

Looking Deeply 2
Looking deeply into something reveals something deep inside oneself. -
🐢💼 Oh joy, another 2000-word essay on the groundbreaking revelation that "tasks" and "work" are, indeed, distinct concepts. 🎉 With the penetrating #insight that sometimes "I got it working" is good enough and sometimes it isn’t, Cory Doctorow once again delivers, well, exactly what you'd expect. 🙄
