  • If the service isn’t starting due to a changed port then one of two things are happening:

    1. Something else is using that port and its throwing an error
    2. There’s a configuration issue (typo, comment, or duplicate setting) that is preventing the server from starting

    Do you have any logs from the server that might help with determining which of these two it is?

    Also are you trying to access the service on your local network or via something like your mobile data or a VPN? Because if it’s the latter you probably need to configure your router to allow external traffic (which can be a security risk).












  • It is arbitrary. While what classification a substance is may have some grounding in research, it’s mostly up to what interest group has either lobbied to get something under or whatever group law enforcement wants to be able to get easy charges for. Cannabis was Sched I because it made it easy for law enforcement to get big sentences for minorities and the counter culture participants of the day. Same thing with LSD and psilocybin.

    All the DEA scheduling is just pick and choose your charge for whatever ideological ax they want to grind. Hence why things don’t line up with reality




  • It’s been hacked, the light bulb is likely part of some botnet or under an attacker’s control directly. Which is why it’s sending that much data continuously. IoT/smart devices don’t send a lot of data in this sort of volume as most of the time they’re idle and maybe send a heartbeat or status update every once in a while to prove they’re alive.

    This is what is called an indicator of compromise or IoC, it’s some behavior or pattern that can be used to determine what is happening or who is the one doing the attacking.

    Likely OP would need to do some analysis to be able to get attribution unless it’s a very well known botnet actor in which case attribution is fairly straightforward.
