This is great:

What if my experimental protocol is approaching the 3 month removal period but I am missing ACKs due to reviewer inactivity?

Contributors engaging in good faith protocol development should not be penalized due to reviewer inactivity. It is advised that experimental protocol authors post memes to the base MR until reviewers become active.

What if an experimental protocol author posts memes to the MR for many months rather than furthering development?

It is expected that protocol authors are seriously attempting to reach staging/ status. If it is determined by members that this is not the case for a given experimental protocol after a three month period has elapsed, the one week removal notice may be invoked regardless of how good the memes may be.

You can still torrent without forwarding a port, for example by only making outgoing connections. But that may limit your speed, and figuring out forwarding should help.

Yes. 2019 comment from cloudflare: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19828702

On my network, I send dns requests for only the archive domains to a DNS server that archive likes. Adguards, in this case. Everything else goes to cloudflare. Both adguardhome and unbound can do that.

I was happy with my cyber powers for years, but then the batteries died (official replacement batteries, after 3 years - the originals lasted 5) and the ups just stopped even passing power through. This is someone’s old blog about this https://blog.networkprofile.org/cyberpower-ups-avoid/

Ping is not a good way to test http, because they are completely different protocols, and can be blocked separately or not. From what you have posted so far, I don’t see a problem being demonstrated. Your caddy log here also shows one successful request. So: define “not working” better. Are you testing from a browser? Via curl? From where? To exactly what urls? What message do you get back from your browser/curl?
