Scanning all available streams

Hello there. I'm have a question: How to scan all available online streams from a specified server and port given? For example, I've found a Wowza Streaming Engine server at 115.79.46.164 and port 1935. I want to know which website or software can help me to find all active streams on this server. Thanks for reading. Ccv2020 (talk) 14:22, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

nmap -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 17:02, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
nmap is just going to let you toss packets to the server and inspect the packets that server decides to send you back in reply. Which is great for networking analysis, but we want to speak application layer here and talk with the "streaming" software on the remote host. Does help at all? (You will need curl if not already installed.) Do take note, the party which owns the server could always have configured it to restrict the information it will give out to the public. --Slowking Man (talk) 19:32, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

.kp domains

How many .kp domains are there? Gnu779 (talk) 13:10, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Did you see .kp#Existing_and_externally_accessible_domain_list? Polygnotus (talk) 19:10, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
https://www.northkoreatech.org/the-north-korean-website-list/ is a bit outdated but has more background info. Polygnotus (talk) 19:20, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
It's ok, bro. I can still view the outdated ones with the Wayback Machine at the Internet Archive. Thanks, Gnu779 (talk) 16:10, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Is this bug in the google search ?

I searched for the keywords: "Israel Folau" "Margaret Court" "David Tyree", then Google shows me blank. Is this bug?HarryOrange (talk) 22:35, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

If I do the same search, this question shows up (twice, due to how the refdesk is organized) plus a link to Stuff. So, it doesn't seem to be a bug. I tried the same format search with much more famous people and got hundreds of links. Matt Deres (talk) 13:20, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
Remember that Google has numerous servers that can respond to your search, and they do not necessarily all behave the same. --142.112.149.206 (talk) 22:17, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

File disambiguators (1): Explorer/W11

Óla! So Explorer adds (n) to a file with a duplicate name to an existing one. Do you have suggestions how to easily identify and delete them? The search option doesn't recognize parentheses, so a search would merely identify files with that number in the title. The reason for asking is that if a folder has a large number of duplicates that should be deleted, it would be easier to sort/select/delete rather than ctrl+click individually. Thank you! 2.28.124.91 (talk) 16:31, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you Polygnotus, that's great, and freeware too. It looks like it might take some getting used to! Cheers, 2.28.124.91 (talk) 18:13, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

Selecting multiple items in checkbox on this website. Is there an easier way?

Please look at this link:

https://www.archonia.com/en-us/search?q-a2%5B0%5D=1&q-a2%5B1%5D=2&q-a2%5B2%5D=3&qf%5B0%5D=3046&filter_string=doctor%20who

On the left of the web page you will see a checkbox "Status" with 3 items checked. The problem I have is that the only way I can get multiple items checked is by editing the URL. If I just click on an item in a checkbox on this website the other items get unchecked. In other words: the checkbox works like radio buttons. I tried a different browser; I tried ctrl-click and shift-click and alt-click. Nope. On other websites (here for example) I do not have this problem. Do you experience the same inconvenience? And if so any ideas on how to do this easier than by url editing? 213.126.69.28 (talk) 11:55, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Windows 10 Bin

Doing a quick search online I realized that the path to the Windows recycle bin is C:\$Recycle.Bin; however, for some reason I don't understand, it doesn't seem to be the "Recycle Bin" on the desktop, they just seem to be two different paths (explanatory screenshot at the following link: ). Are they actually two different paths? If so, why? If not... why aren't the two windows synchronized? 2A01:827:160:D601:2E75:E3BA:BBBF:B55D (talk) 14:35, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
