Some troubleshooting questions - are you able to reach other servers or websites on the internet? Including nonstandard ports? Ping?
When you're on wired networking are you sure your traffic is hairpinning out to the internet and back in to your server? Are you sure you aren't just routing internally?
Is anyone else able to reach your server across the internet?

This is probably more about my own cynicism around manipulative corporate marketing in general and particularly bad representation in media.
I do see this kind of manipulation everywhere, of vulnerable groups of all kinds. It bothers me a lot but I think I am projecting my own biases.
All in all, this makes me want to take another look and reevaluate. Well said, and maybe we will not be in disagreement after all. Cheers

Not racist cliches, but cliches nonetheless. I tend to feel like bad representation can be potentially worse than no representation. I don't think it matters if the actors are white or not.
If you saw "The Last of Us" on HBO, there is a famous gay episode. To me it's one of the best things ever put on the screen. I think it's outstanding and I think it will be something of a historical landmark in show business. It's not just good representation, it's incredible. You actually care about the people involved. They have depth. They are real. Everything they do is necessary, meaningful and important. The characters are treated with great respect, dignity and worth.
Most importantly, "being gay" is just part of the characters. They aren't defined as "gay" being the entirety of the character. They are people, just like any other people, where "gay" is just a sometimes part of the character, not the one and only outstanding characteristic.
That is respectful representation.
This show seems like the opposite. The characters don't seem interesting, meaningful or important at all. The aliens don't seem to be interesting people. Which is why, to me, diversity feels like an excuse to cover bad writing. In other words, it's using diversity as a marketing tactic to get viewers to watch. To me that feels manipulative towards the people it's supposed to support. Basically the opposite of respectful diversity.
I will admit, in my eyes I see far too much disrespectful representation "out there" and maybe I'm overthinking or reading too much into this.
So in other words I guess my original comment wasn't clear or well thought out. I feel like diversity and representation should be inclusive and respectful, and this show just doesn't feel anything like that to me. And maybe I am expecting far too much.

Click to expand spoiler.
In the first episode, a force user fights a Jedi. It's an ok start, not original but nothing wrong with that.Then the Jedi come looking for the force user. Immediately we learn that in this show, anyone can lie to Jedi about anything. They will not question or investigate and pretty clearly can't use the force to tell if someone is telling the truth, and they don't even bother to find out.
The Jedi didn't need to bring the bartender. They could have easily seen a face, a description and all the memories of the fight from anyone who was there. They could have done the same for everyone on the ship too. They could have done that with Osha and immediately learned that she was telling the truth.
These are the wise master sages, healers and warriors of the galaxy but they just grab someone and put them in a cage? No due process? No investigation? They don't even say anything about a crime being committed, or any kind of process at all. They just say a Jedi was murdered. But this seems like a terribly botched assassination. A Jedi was in a fight and got killed. Were they assassinated, or just killed, or was it "just" a bar fight? It seems like the Jedi aren't interested to figure that out.
On top of which she is a former student of this most revered and respected institution in the galaxy, and former colleagues too. But they don't try to talk it out or even try to investigate? They just throw her in a prison transport. You would think they would at least escort her, talk with her and set up some kind of inquiry.
Killing a Jedi seems like a pretty big deal. You would think they would send the best of the best to get to the truth. The wise, experienced masters who are (presumably) accomplished at investigation and discovering the truth. Someone who has had many years and countless people try to lie to them. Someone who has seen many stories and sides to the truth. Someone interesting enough to possibly have an entire show written around them.
Wouldn't that be warranted if a Jedi is murdered? Especially if there is perhaps a new sith or some dark conspiracy? Isn't that kind of a big deal?
But instead they just seemed like they didn't bother to even ask anyone, even before going out, hey it turns out there's a sister, AND the other Jedi already know about it. Even the Jedi who know about this don't bother to think twice. Except when Osha says, she's alive, and then everyone just ... changes their mind. Oops, well, they didn't bother to ask, but the people who knew just thought nothing of it.
In a galaxy full of clones, aliens, force ghosts, holograms and hallucinations and who knows what else, it seems incredibly foolish to just grab someone and put them in a cage.
Also, Osha says she's a mechanic because she doesn't have any transferable skills. From the most elite and revered institution of wisdom, learning and healing throughout the galaxy. Even a first year student would be respected and looked up to anywhere in the galaxy. Just getting in at all would be an enormous accomplishment.
It's almost like saying she trained as an Olympian but didn't make the team. Athletes still teach, they do endorsements, training, tours, speeches, books, podcasts and shows all over the world. Elite athletes are famous.
So she studied at an academy famous throughout the galaxy for history, philosophy, religion, justice and order, all kinds of caretaking from gardening to medicine, and she has no skills and nowhere to go? Couldn't even get a job as a librarian? A Senate page? A court clerk? Law, history, ... nothing? Not even ordinary university?
This is why the characters, and the writing seem two dimensional to me. They're just a patchwork of tropes and cliches in action. There is no character behind the action, expressing the simplest of thoughts such as, what if this killing wasn't what it seemed?
This is just the beginning. But this is why it looks to me like a lot of special effects papered over terrible writing. If you take away the "ooh spaceships" factor, there's nothing interesting left.

Just like other Star Wars shows, poor writing is papered over with flashy special effects, battles, aliens, and whatever Star Wars cliches blah blah blah.
This show is pretty much - look how cool this planet is, look at this lightsaber fight, oh look there are Jedi, see how cool that is - ... that's the whole show.
The characters aren't people, nothing interesting about them, just interchangeable mannequin set pieces with sculptured make up. None of them are believable as a real person.
The cast diversity feels artificially shoehorned in and doesn't feel like representation at all, it just feels like checking a box that says "diversity."
It's like looking at a movie poster or watching a fashion show. Pretty, not engaging or believable, all cliches and nothing memorable.

I'd like to see color-coded child comments. So for example a parent comment would have a white outline for it's thread, next level would have a red outline, next level blue, etc
That plus collapsing the deepest levels would go a long way to making a thread more readable.

Swipe topic right to vote
Swipe comment right to vote
Swipe thread left to close thread
Tap comment to collapseTo me it's a lot quicker and easier to swipe with my thumb, rather than hunt and peck to vote.
I also like to read a comment and then collapse as I go - makes longer comments and threads easier to read especially with long form threads.
It would be nice if the thread levels could be differentiated by different colors of separators or boxes - like top level comments have white separators or no boxes, next level could be green, next blue and so on. Would be easier to see the comments / threads together.
Great app and great work, looking forward to see more

This sounds like depression. There is no rhyme or reason to it, if you're trying to analyze it or figure it out. Everyone feels this way from time to time. It sounds like there is no specific cause in your life.
I look at depression as a call for self care. It's an opportunity to be human. We are fragile, vulnerable beings, susceptible to life and all the things that happen to us. We have no control. The human condition is one of seeking for anchors in life which are ultimately, eventually, pulled away. Nothing is permanent.
Right now you are facing a feeling, an experience which you dread yet have no control over. There is no solution to being human.
Be gentle with yourself, and consider therapy. You will unearth something to discover in yourself. There is an answer, but you will only find it by treating yourself with care and exploring your feelings. Keep an open mind, give yourself compassion and let yourself process. You need someone to talk to.
Edit to add: In your post, you comment that you cannot find a reason to feel this way, and you feel like you're lying about your life and feelings. It sounds like you're telling yourself how you "should" feel, because "life is good," rather than face how you actually feel, because you are struggling. You say that you do not have "actual problems."
I would suggest that this condition is absolutely an "actual problem." You are diminishing and invalidating your feelings and your self worth by pushing away the energy you are feeling. It has it's own truth, no matter your life situation, it has something important to say. Instead of expecting or telling yourself you should feel happy - which would absolutely cause anyone unhappiness - acknowledge the validity of what you're feeling inside. There is a reason, even if you don't know it. Your feelings are completely valid, and real, and true, and they are guiding you to something important inside of you.

She talks about how Western culture isn't very emotionally literate - we aren't given tools, understanding, or empathy, and this leads to a kind of disconnect with ourselves and with each other. On top of that, we live in a traumatized world, without the space or vulnerability we need for our process.
She's an educator I believe, not a mental health professional, but her work would be useful to anyone.
Get a feeling for her writing and thoughts here, and her book below.

You may be discovering your own deeper needs. Maybe these feelings aren't just about trauma, but perhaps an emergence out of empathy and connection within yourself. You might be connecting with something in you that has never felt connection or support before. It's a healing process that occurs with trauma. Feeling pain, or feeling afraid isn't a bad thing. It may be a sign that you're really bringing care and support to a place that really needs it. I think you're doing really well.
**EDIT: ** I just noticed this comment in your post, and from here this sounds like DNS issues. My original reply is underneath.
Opening https://192.168.1.123:58443 (webserver address) is fine (WiFi or wired).
Opening https://10.0.1.123:58443 (gateway address) is fine (WiFi or wired).
Original reply:
From your updated comments (cited below) it sounds suspiciously like a NAT or port forwarding issue. Or something similar to asymmetric routing issues. Some of your packets are getting through and some aren't.
Using the mobile network I can access my server just fine. With a hotspot I can use the same laptop to access the site.
I've given up and have just added a DNS record to the gateway that points to the local server. This way it works inside the network and outside too. It's not pretty, but it works.
The same issue is also happening with the VPN server I host on a different machine that's sitting besides the webserver. I see traffic coming in, but no connection is established on the client side.
Testing this again now, I see the traffic coming into the VPN server takes forever when on WiFi (haven't checked with a wire). When I'm on mobile, the logging of the VPN server shows instant negotiation. I assumed the issue was something with the return traffic, but that's not the case. Something to look into later.
So my rambling thoughts - when you query dns for your server name (or VPN) do you get the same results on wired and wireless? Different results inside the network vs outside? Because typically, outside and inside DNS results should be separate, and different. If you're trying to reach http://foo.bar and it turns up both an internal and external (NAT) address then you're going to get mixed up. Also you don't want servers overlapping, I assume your servers are all using the same (public) IP and this is why you are using nonstandard ports to differentiate servers?
Your wireless DNS resolution should be identical to your wired DNS (both internal). Also DNS queries are round-robin, meaning, if you have two different DNS server addresses you query, you will variously get results from both. If those servers aren't returning the same answer you will have issues.
On the same lines, is the behavior any different if you only connect to ip_address:port and don't use DNS at all?
For further testing I would recommend disconnecting your internet and make sure all of your traffic is routable internally (wired and wireless both) . Can you hit the VPN or the web server?
With NAT, the nonstandard TCP port (internal) may be getting forwarded out to the internet rather than to internal devices. With your setup I would ensure ALL internal traffic is routed internally first and never go out to the carrier unless that specific traffic needs to get to the internet for some reason.
It really sounds like when you're on wireless, some of your traffic is going out to the internet and coming back in, and some of your traffic is trying to hit the server internally, and all of your devices are getting confused.
Try disconnecting your internet service and see if you can reach everything internally.
If you aren't already set up this way I would consider doing this: (Carrier) <-> (dedicated firewall) <-> (dedicated internal router) == (everything else internal)
Rather than having an all-in-one device to handle all the routing and firewall and wireless etc. Your network is complex enough to justify the separation and this would make it much easier to troubleshoot. In other words, keep the internet traffic routed to a separate dedicated device outside of your internal network. And aside from that, all your traffic should be perfectly routable inside. Your internal router should handle all DNS, DHCP and everything else, and anything that specifically needs internet access (like DNS) should be owned and cached on the router but handed off to the firewall if needed.
One last consideration I would recommend to anyone for internal networking. Consider setting up your internal IP range as 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255 instead of 192.168 or **10.x ** . The reason is because everyone uses 10.x or 192.168, and using differentiation makes it much easier to deflect any potential overlap. Network devices sometimes use 192.168 as the default setup for configuring via network. If that default IP happens to be the same as one of your servers, it's a pain to set it up. But setting up 172.16 right from the get go will preempt overlapping issues. It isn't nearly as popular.
