(Quote) Firstly zsh is mostly championed as oh-my-zsh, but IMHO it's nearly all eye candy and bloat. Vanilla zsh user here, and nearly all the useful plugins available in OMZ can be enabled manually. It's a small learning curve to manually curate zs…

(Quote) Probably a case of suck it and see for most. I actually abandoned the router for a direct connection to a server, but for increased functionality and control not performance. I kicked the tyres on the ISP's router when I [finally] got FTTP …

(Quote) I'd be amazed if almost all domestic routers supplied by ISPs don't come pre-configured with their IPv6 firewall set to block by default. Mine certainly was, is that not the norm?
-
(Quote) I think they're the canary, once folks here can clone from GitHub on v6 we can pull the plug on v4 and move on =)

(Quote) Which are you going to adopt if you get completely different opinions between here and OGF? ;) If you're already using keys, for whatever reason, stick with it don't go back to just passwords. It has little to do practically with entropy o…

(Quote) Don't forget though that if your upstream DNS is ultimately public (e.g. google on 8.8.8.8) many RBL's place restrictions or block/throttle queries. You may need to also implement a private recursive resolver if you want to go that route.

(Quote) ... (Quote) Just an alternative opinion for balance, as I'm kind of getting what I'd expect given the price. Not wishing to make any case for or against, but a VPS with 900MB of storage for €1.50 per month should have raised more eyebrows …
-
(Quote) There is no app sync functionality. A YubiKey solution errs on the side of absolute security, the secret key is loaded one way, one time from the QR code stage, and cannot be retrieved or copied afterwards, and the code to generate the 6 dig…

(Quote) Most people probably do, they just don't realise it. If you've got IPv6 connectivity from your ISP it will be the default try for most OSes. Nearly all new players in the broadband market in the UK use IPv6 primarily and CG-NAT for IPv4. I w…

MX Linux with Xfxe to press an old Baytrail laptop into service, MX seems flavour of the moment. I'm still mainly a Windows desktop user but very impressed with how well MX runs on a low spec laptop. Much of what I use on Windows is cross platform,…

(Quote) Ouch, have been using Aqua for years, but it was never that expensive for the pro upgrade, even recently ISTR. Guess the price goes hand in hand with the introduction of an IOS version :o Good mail client though.

Happy Black Friday !!

EASYVM BF 2023! And why not, happy thanksgiving!

(Quote) Ditto, but I always try and also leverage the mailto facility in cron, so you get to know if one of the wheels is coming loose, deprecation warnings in a package say, even if the job is superficially doing all you're testing for. Of course …

And I only recently received notification their Raspberry Pi server prices are to rise 50-60% in June, pleading unsustainable pricing.

Bhost in London circa 2013, now seem to be part of Mythic Beasts. I think the spec was OVZ/2C/256MB/10GB, it was teeny tiny and cost only £1.20pm, it was my first foray into VPS/Shared resources for my own personal use having managed bare metal prev…

Not really in the app category... but a *nix like shell with Posix utils, e.g. Git for Windows (bash) ~300MB or busybox-w32 (ash) 1MB, if like me you're more familiar/productive with that, hate Windows commands/scripts and have only dabbled with Pow…

(Quote) Beat me to it. :) Just a heads up for anyone who likes this kind of strategy game, that 'Shadow Tactics: Aiko's Choice', also on @Mason's list, is available free on Epic Games for a week from Thursday. (Edit: that's a zero priced purchase …

(Quote) Are ed25519 elliptic-curve SSH keys a technical requirement here, or just a preference to encourage good practice? Many people prefer to use smartcards for SSH access, which adds an extra physical dimension of security, but are often limite…
-
I suspect the majority will ditch theirs, I use it as an occasional testbed for new packages or setups and it's often horrendously slow. Have never really understood this offering, as a loss leader it gives a very negative view of their service, I'…

(Quote) OK, was thinking of AES support for VPN transfers which the later Avoton era had, though sounds not the case here.

(Quote) What vintage of Atom?

(Quote) Yes, already converted mine using this sideloading script on a Debian donor install. https://gist.github.com/trimsj/c1fefd650b5f49ceb8f3efc1b6a1404d

Very interesting concept, congratulations, gives me the chance to experiment with Alpine on varying spec. small memory OVZ VPS's without commitment. But I've noticed a minor glitch, if I provision 3x (96MB + 4GB) and 1x (128MB + 4GB), I think I sho…

(Quote) Fell into the same trap, enabling TUN before the initial provision doesn't seem to take effect (or gets reset). Re-enabling and rebooting after initial install then solves the problem.
-
(Quote) Not sure if I'm being dumb, but is this a separate login? The overview and actions panels for my new active service under clients.natvps.uk shows no information or options (apart from cancel), 'additional information' just shows: Panel:Micr…

Great service, have had a mouse for the last 3 years, no problems.

(Quote) Pi's bundled with accessories seem to sell well on ebay, suppose it depends how niche yours are.

Timing was weird on this offer, had all but given up hope as I'd applied on 1st Oct., then suddenly got the e-mail voucher last night, over 2 weeks later. Have had an active zone with CF for years so no idea why I was given the slow service treatmen…

(Quote) As in need to receive an SMS to proceed? I've never seen that on Paypal (albeit EU). Paypal EU use TOTP (App based) 2FA and I'm very happy to have that enabled.
-
(Quote) Mine's a slight twist on this, one on my house keys, that still needs to be plugged into the desktop to access most things, the backup stored securely in the basement. 2FA aside, this way I mostly always know where my house keys are having o…

(Quote) The methods are usually dictated by the service, but if offered, and as I always have a YubiKey plugged in here for SSH/SFTP access, FIDO/FIDO2 preferred (Google,GitHub,Shopify) followed by TOTP (everyone else). FIDO is just so much simpler,…
