DO NOT USE MOBILE / CGNAT DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time, it is unfortunately not possible to whitelist users when your IP changes constantly.
You may inadvertently get banned because a previous attack may have used the IP you are now on.
So I suggest people only use fixed IP address devices until I can think of a solution for this problem!

You'll end up being a (retro stuff) serial buyer, or is it already the case ?

Re: Stuff and Things.
Well that was unexpected.
I have been smelling an odd electrical smell in my office/workshop, and have been trying to figure out what it was as I don't want a fire. All my Retro machines are on an isolating bus bar, so I knew it wasn't anything to do with that, and it's easy to isolate anything in my room very quickly.
However, the culprit revealed itself this morning when I cam to switch on my magnifying lamp, and there was a fizz, a pop, the lamp filckered then went out!!
I pulled it apart and found this:
And once removed saw the full extend of the fzzzt:
At least the resistor code is still visible, but not sure if I have any of that wattage (Looks like 1/2 watt)

Re: Stuff and Things.
Hmm, so there was another similar resistor too:
Same value as well. Stupid resistors.
I also found a cap with a loose leg...
