Do you mean that you do this to have a static IP pointing to an admin page? Why does that increase security?

Exactly this. You can configure nginx/apache this way, that specific pages, like an admin interface, are only reachable from a specific IP range. If it comes from another one, you can return whatever you want.
It increases security in this way, that crawler don't even get known about such administrative pages and there's no way to brute-force the login.

Edit: Thanks for the tip with Nyr OpenVPN.

I'm running 2 OpenVPN server. One on a VPS in Canada and one in Germany. The main purpose is to lock admin pages to a fix IP to increase security.
I always avoid the supposedly secure, paid VPN services, because you never know what is really recorded there. At least, you run your entire Internet traffic over it. And with these prices, you can almost lease a small VPS, install OpenVPN and browse through it.

He killed Chewbacca? :o ...
I currently have only read the Drizzt saga, but was not really convinced by it. My next plan was the Dark Elf Trilogy, but I heard that's the same as Drizzt?

I was always happy with the combination of transmissiond running on a file server and transmission-remote as client, available for Linux, Windows and Android.

Wouldn't it make more sense to get a small SSD instead of a USB stick and connect it via USB using an external enclosure? There shouldn't be much difference regarding performance, but there should be in lifespan. You could also split partitions up and use the free space for other things.

Quelle surprise. But Musk hasn't really messed up much, yet. Twitter has always been extremely uncommunicative.

Sorry for you both. It wasn't meant personally, but more in general, because so many people don't know about that feature.
Ok, it's not advertised very much, either.

I wonder why so many people found this option just now, because Gmail supports it since the beginning.
I configured my own mail server the same way. This mail tags are a great option to organize the own inbox. Works amazing, when the server also supports sieve.

There is always a risk, even with currently established platforms.
