Sonatype Nexus: Disable showing of the uploads ip - nexus

I'm using a hosted sonatype nexus for dependency distribution but I want to hide the IP address of my computer from being easily accessible from browsing the repository. How can I disable this being shown? https://i.imgur.com/pLChqEB.png
Yes, this has been asked before but there was never any reactions about it, And this is still an major thing about this software
(There are no issues/comments about it in there repo/jira)

This is not currently possible.
This is ticketed here: https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/NEXUS-20956

I have set up a VPN on a home server (I am using Wireguard in a docker container running on open media vault). My goal is to connect to my network shares from my windows Laptop when I'm on the go.
I set up the VPN and I was able to connect to OMV, both via PuTTy and the web interface, from my Laptop (while not connected directly to my home wifi).
However for some reason windows cannot detect any of the network shares I have set up on OMV
I tried to modify all the windows setting that came to my mind and googled a fair bit but I'm out of ideas.
Looking forward to any possible solutions.
Edit:
I can access the share without a problem when I am directly connected to my home network.
I just tried to access the folder, while connected through the VPN, by typing the full path into the "adress bar" in file explorer, By doing this I managed to connect to the folder and use the files.
But I still can't map the networkdrive... So it really seems to be a settings problem, but I still have no idea.
All of my the other devices that are on the network aren't showing up either while connected through the VPN.
One possible issue that I once ran into, is that the latest versions of windows stopped supporting SMB 1.0. Fortunately, you can explicitly re-enable them.
In the start menu, open "Turn windows features on/off".
A pop-up will allow you to enable also version 1.0 of SMB. I would suggest to enable the "Client" and "Automatic Removal", but you won't need the "Server".
That could possibly solve the problem, assuming that your other devices use older SMB versions.
You may also want to check these settings ...
The Solution was btw. pretty simple:
I was able to map the drive after manually entering the ip adress to file explorer. (in the format \192.168.x.xxx)

cURL error while trying to activate a license on my wordpress site

I am using a certain premium wordpress theme. I purchased their license from official providers and when I put the license key on the box, it says 'cURL error: connection timed out after 800 seconds'.
Now, I have contacted the theme developers and they suggested me the following solution:
Update PHP Version
Increase PHP memory limit
Increase cURL timeout limit
Ask your host if there is some limitation with wp-cron, or if loopback is disabled.
Overall, they asked me to follow this guide from generatepress documentation: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/curl-error-28-connection-timed-out/
My problem is that, I am stuck at increasing cURL timeout limit. I have followed every step provided in the documentation that generatepress team told me to follow but I cannot find any option inside my cpanel that says increase cURL limit. Or, is it done via adding any sorts of codes? Let me know because I am a noob at coding. I followed every tutorial available on Google and YouTube but they didn't help. Looking for a possible solution from expert developers who can explain the problem to me as they would explain it to a 7 years old kid.
This is the site/
Thanks in advance.
The only solution to this I found after contacting the Generatepress team is that there was a firewall program implemented from the web hosting company that was preventing me to connect to GP server to activate the license. Once I contacted the hosting support, they disabled the feature and made some slight changes to my hosting account so that I was able to connect to the GP premium license.
Moreover, I also found that if the license has exceeded the number of allowed limits, it fails to connect, which was not the reason in my case.

Nexus support for api.typings.org

I'm trying to set up a Jenkins CI environment which is behind a corporate firewall and is also using Nexus to proxy repositories. Changing the firewall settings is not an option, but Nexus is able to bypass the firewall so I need to set up Nexus to be able to pull in type definition files. Is that possible?
A Google search turns up very little, besides this support ticket which hasn't been answered.
Is it at all possible to add typings support to Nexus?
typings is not on our roadmap yet, but as you can see someone has expressed interest. Feel free to pop in to that ticket and let your voice be heard, we use those to get a bit of a gauge to how many of our users are looking for a specific format.

How to set up a simple web server(Windowws XP Pro)

As a heads up, I have some experience programming on Windows and other devices, but I have almost zero experience doing web anything, so I'm sure this is simple/easy to find online and I just don't know what I'm doing.
I have a computer on my home network that is connected to the internet(I can VNC into it from online if that helps) and I want to set it up so that I can connect to this PC online and access a web page stored on the PC.
This will be used by two people tops, so I'm not concerned about the number of connections or that kind of thing, I just want to be able to look at this page from online. I'm not sure what to call this, but I guess I want to have own webpage on my home PC that I can access to do stuff remotely.
Basically, I want to be able to go to http://{my-pc-ip}/webpage.html and see it online. If it helps, this is largely a learning exercise for me, I want to experiment and play around with what I can do through a webpage on my home network, through an online web page interface. Like maybe start a program on my home machine using a button the page, but do this from a computer connected over the Internet(this stuff I'll figure out myself, I just don't know how to set up the online stuff).
this is quite simple. You can use either IIS which is shipped with your XP Pro or use free and open source solutions:
XAMPP - http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html. I've been using this for years. Very simple. The last step of installation is just to secure MySQL and FTP (if needed at all). PHP is shipped so you can start doing web development without extra hassle.
Lighttpd - http://www.lighttpd.net/. Another FOSS webserver, which is very light-weight.
There are a few more but Apache is the most popular so you can just go ahead with XAMPP which is very mature and has large community of users.
Lastly, remember to relax your firewall allow access to your IP address from LAN & VNC (whatever you needed). Some materials to get things done:

Enjoy doing web!
Not really programming related, but none-the-less, WAMP is by far the easiest solution out there.
http://www.wampserver.com/en/
To expose your PC as a web server you need to do couple of steps:
Have external ip (static).
Configure the firewall to allow incomming connection to your PC to port 80 (if you need SSL then port 443 too).
Set up a web server: you can use IIS (if WinXP is not Home edition), Apache server or smallest possible HTTP server like ihttpd.
Put the pages into your root directory.
That is the basic explanation of the steps to do.
For basic house-holding tasks like temporarily sharing static files on a lan i have used HFS which is only 600K, has a gui, adds itself to the explorer context menu, and yes, it is free with source code available.

Web browser lock-down: How to?

I have an ASP.NET web application where a portion of it needs to run in a web browser as a public facing terminal.
Essentially it is used to capture anonymous user feedback (wizard control on a .aspx) in a commercial location such as a shop.
An administrator will login and prep the application for 'terminal' mode.
The terminal is a normal PC with keyboard and/or mouse like device.
I would like to prevent users from:
Viewing the browser menu's, pushing back button and/or entering a different URI in the URL and also disallow keyboard shortcuts from bypassing the intended looping functionality of the application that is running?
Which browser is best suited for its ability to disable functionality as mentioned? The app runs on IE/FF/Chrome/Opera/Safari.
HOW would one go about configuring the machine and/or browser so it is locked to prevent unauthorized/unintended use?
On a side note, I guess the web application session needs to have an unlimited timeout?
Thanks for your input!
EDITED: I am leaving the question as unanswered for now... I would like to see responses that highlight possible options for the other browsers as well.
You can run Internet Explorer in Kiosk mode.
Please see this MS KB article.
Simply put, start Internet Explorer with the -k argument
There seems to be some commercial products available also, like this.
Try How to use Kiosk Mode in Microsoft Internet Explorer
Also, there are many Kiosk tools to assist in locking down a machine. Example: http://www.thekioskstore.com/index.php/software/kiosk-lock-down
Firefox has at least two plugins (and possibly many more):
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1659
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/509
It is also possible to lock down KDE and GNOME (GNOME at least has a built in tool), which you can also use to lock down the rest of the system. I suggest installing Ubuntu if the web app is running on another system.
If you have to use MS Windows, check out: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/sharedaccess/seeit/internetcafe.mspx.
You can use an opensource Linux distribution designed for this very purpose, http://webconverger.com/
