Tried to support the industry by buying a movie a watch a lot. Well, no more. If I need a pihole just to watch a movie I own, that’s ridiculous.

I run a pivpn setup so that nothing is exposed to the internet at all. It’s just too dangerous now. It was bad back in the day, but now I literally have bots trying to join any public facing Minecraft server. It’s so many times worse now than it was a decade ago.
I guess the bots are trying to find servers still vulnerable to the Log4J exploit. Man that was a juicy one 👀
Oh man. I have an open minecraft server for my kids and their friends. Every few weeks I have someone show up to the server leaving notes or interacting with us trying to educate me on whitelisting.
I get more “educators” than i do bots. It’s actually quite annoying. I dont know what accounts these kids login with, you’re not educating me. The server is literally for 6-8 year olds. It’s been wiped 100s of times. I don’t care. Stop. The server is grief resistant anyway. And my ban list is long (and getting at least one longer). /little rant
I mean, it would take seconds for someone to log in and paste bad links in chat/send weird messages so yeah, a server for a 6-8 yr olds is absolutely one I would turn whitelist on for.
I have never had any of my MC servers run without a whitelist, even the one I had publicly listed on planet minecraft back in the day. You should know who has access to your machines on some level.
I used to run servers a decade ago and open was fine. Never had a random join. Crazy to think bots are trying random IPs now, probably would whitelist in that case
You assume that those links would work. Kids machines have DNS whitelists.
I’m not worried.
