  • Let me tell you that you can also add comments to your terminal commands and use them to search history using fzf. This might sound confusing but basically you do this:

    commandwithweirdoptions --option1=value1 --option2=value2 # run the usual thing

    Then you press Ctrl+R and type anything like «the thing», it uses fuzzy matching and finds the command in history, with a menu of other similar commands. Press enter, done.

    Note that you need to have fzf installed, otherwise there is no fuzzy matching and no menu of matching history results.
















  • Thanks.

    I do have wireguard on my server as well, I guess it’s similar to what tailscale does?

    Too bad my friends from Russia can’t connect to me, it might be because we are doing something wrong, but most likely wiregueard is somehow (DPI?) blocked in Russia.

    I can connect to my own wireguard, it routes all my traffic and I can access any blocked sites, as well as access other people via «local» IPs over wireguard. I think this uses NAT traversal and we exchange data directly over wireguard. But somehow some friens are not able to use that.

    Do you know if Yggdrasil does something similar and if we exchange data directly when playing over Yggdrasil virtual IPv6 network?


  • If you are good with all of this stuff, can you tell me if usijg bore relays traffic or creates some kind of direct (P2P?) connection between devices?

    I have a device without public IP, AFAIK behind NAT, and a server. If I use bore to open a port through my server and host a game, and my friends connect to me via IP, will we have big ping (as in, do packets travel to the server first, then to me) or low ping (as in, do packets travel straight to me)?

    In other words, is bore good to play with friends when games use a method if connection via IP when you have a server with public IP, but host a game on your local device without public IP?

    We are currently using yggdrasil for this and connect via «local» IPv6.
