The project I’m on right now originally had the nuget.exe saved in source because they had to manually run it through build scripts, it wasn’t built in to VS until VS2012

I’m guessing they only used it 10 years ago when it was very rough around the edges. It didn’t integrate well with the old .NET Framework because it conflicted with how web.config managed dependencies and poor integration with VS. It was quite bad back then… but so was .NET Framework in general. Then they rebuilt from the ground up with dotnet core and it’s been rock solid since

Or they just hate Microsoft, which is a common motif to shit on anything Microsoft does regardless of the actual product.

I’ve never had an issue with nuget, at least since dotnet core. My experience has it far ahead of npm and pip

Seems they have PWAs, here’s a guide by Mozilla for installing them on Firefox

There are a number of alloys that are used when working with desalinization plants, but the effective ones are cost prohibitive.

Even if they had a way of pumping it out cheaper, it still comes with issues that are costly. There are chemicals used during the process which pollute the brine and cost money to remove. It also comes out much warmer than surrounding water which disrupts the ecosystem. The brine eats up oxygen levels and suffocates animal life in the area.

They are trying to dilute the brine before releasing it back to the ocean but this is either not effective enough since you’re using salt water from the same source you’re pumping into, especially if the area doesn’t have strong currents to carry it away. Or you’re using water which doesn’t have high salt levels and can dilute it to healthy levels, which you might as well just treat and use in the first place instead of using saltwater.

It’s not an easy problem to solve at the moment

I’d be concerned about it leaching into the water table with that approach. Plus transport to those mines could be very expensive and complicated

Salt is highly corrosive, especially when concentrated into a slurry. If you dump it directly from shore you kill any local wildlife and destroy the local area before it dilutes. If you pipe it further out into the ocean the pipe will continually need maintenance due to corrosion and makes it more expensive

If you dump it on land you also need to ensure it isn’t exposed to wind which will kick it up and cause health hazards to local populations. So you can bury it, but that doesn’t scale and adds to the costs

Another way to mitigate type squatting would be namespacing crates. Much easier to verify who owns the package and related packages

I follow various red-team security researchers, like the Security This Week podcast, which has mentioned how easy it makes their jobs when they find a Minecraft server on either the employees network or even a work network.

I’m sure many of the vulnerabilities come from modding like the recent fractureiser virus going around lately. If you kept it 100% vanilla it would be more secure, but at the end of the day you have a platform designed to run modified code, most of which is downloaded from external sources, and you’re going to open that up to the world? I certainly don’t want that within ping’s reach of my home computer or firewall

You will want to isolate the Minecraft server because it is notoriously easy to hack. If you can isolate it then Cloudflare is better than exposing your IP and opening ports at least. Tailscale would require registering each client using VPN so it isn’t accessable by anyone except trusted clients, and you’re not exposing ports/IP.

No matter what though, don’t let that server be able to talk to anything else on your network or even the admin login on your router/firewall. Treat it like it contains malware already

What is your upload speed? Many ISPs give you 50 download but <5 upload, that would be a huge bottleneck

The biggest issue is security though. Unless you’re setting up a VPN that only works when you set up a secured client on each device, I wouldn’t trust that server to have access anywhere on the network. I would strongly recommend against opening any ports on your firewall as well. Tailscale and Cloudflare Tunnels are popular for homelabs that might be useful here and free for your use case
