I tried to login to my hotmail but it redirected me to outlook and said the site couldn't be reached.

I generally prefer dark themes, but they need to have good contrast. For LES I use the light theme for better contrast. I think text should be pure white #fff on a dark theme and pure black #000 on a light theme. The background doesn't need …

I've been seeing a lot of hacking attempts from Linode addresses lately...
-
@natboxio Yes, I missed the parenthesis vs. brackets () []. Either of these should work. # alias for lslss() { if (( $# )) then ls -ald --color "$@" | less -RFXE else ls -al --color "$@" | less -RFXE fi}# alias for l…

In addition to a mysqldump just before the backup, I shut the database down and copy the database files, then start it back up. I used to do a hotcopy, but sometimes when I'd go to restore it and start the database up, it was corrupt and would…
-
I suppose I could automate test restoring a specific file and verifying it, but I guess I haven't felt the need. After setting a backup up, and then doing a test restore, has anybody found out later that it stopped working, despite the logs be…

For comparison, here's one of my alpine boxes that I installed at the beginning of TierHive and just upgraded to 3.23 when it was available. tier-singapore:~# free -m total used free shared buff/cache availab…

I was just getting spam from that Blatant Technologies ASN the other day and put the /24 in a blacklist.
-
Ah, didn't catch that.
-
I find that doesn't quite work, since $# still has a value with no arguments, so it always gets the first option. But this works: # alias for lslss() { if [[ $# -eq 0 ]] then ls -al --color "$@" | less -RFXE else ls -ald --…

This stuff gets added to an ipset block list with a 3 day timeout. cat -v /home/blah/logs/blah.blah/error.log | grep '"Primary script unknown"' | grep -E -o "([0-9]{1,3}[.]){3}[0-9]{1,3}" | sort | uniq >> ${AUTHF…

Still using WP Super Cache. I used Redis for awhile but had issues with it caching stale data, so I stopped using that.
-
I run a script to ping the test IP (both IPv4 and IPv6) and log any packet loss. Ideally, I like to run it for at least a week, both weekdays and weekends. I have a script like that run on my main servers all the time, so I know what I'd cons…
-
Ugh, after testing various arguments I forgot to test it without. This works better. # alias for lslss() { if [[ "$@" == "" ]] then ls -al --color "$@" | less -RFX else ls -ald --color "$@" | less -…

I used to use a Lily58 but switched to a Sofle now, with light linear switches. Also using a wacom tablet instead of a mouse. Very comfortable.
-
So if a new vps is deployed in Amsterdam and Paris now, does it go on a new node (not Oneprovider)? Or will that come later? Thanks.
-
Weren't there big problems with the provider in Amsterdam and Paris? I thought you were going to drop them, so I moved my stuff off Amsterdam some time ago after the big outage.

(Quote) No LineageOS available for it?
-
There's what a TOS says, and there's what's actually legal. And then there's acting in good faith and doing what's right. I think sometimes people get into a "legal" mindset and think just because they can get aw…

Not a server, but my desktop is an i7-2600k circa 2012. I've replaced everything except the cpu itself and the mini-itx case, though. I also still have the original Intel 320 80GB ssd I got with it, but its just a spare drive now. New mother…

Walk to the car wash, walk home, wash the car yourself in your driveway, and enjoy the sunny day.

I use a Mikrotik at home. I got an update notification in winbox (the router management interface) 2 days ago and updated. Its the first time I've seen an update notification pushed like that.
-
I like more for less, but if the "more" isn't a lot, then I've got to do more with less, I guess. Or something like that. There's more breathing room with 2 GB at least.
-
I think its more about the cost of the service than the specs. For me, for 2GB RAM, it should be around $20/year or less. For 1GB RAM, around $10/year. I prefer 2GB RAM for general purpose, even if I could squeeze it into 1GB, it would swap a lot…
-
Not running 32 bit on a vps anymore (back in the day I used to, though). I do have a NanoPi Neo at home, a small, relatively inexpensive alternative to a raspberry pi. It is 32 bit only (armv7), 512mb ram, 100mbps ethernet. No wifi or display. I…

This looks pretty good. Is it a custom setup that you wrote (or had done)?
-
You can get a 6-9 digit numeric .xyz domain at spaceship for $0.67 per year.
-
(Quote) Ah, I'm not using a mouse (no scroll wheel), so I'm looking for the +/- buttons.
-
Have you found any way to decrease and increase the zoom on the map?
-
I usually copy/paste from another good setup. But I don't worry about it, anyway. I have gotten locked out a few times. It can still be fixed with a vnc console.
-
I often find the blog notification wrong. For example, I've already read 2 of them, and it says there are 2 new, but when I click on it, there is only 1 new post.
-
Some may specifically like Dallas or central-US, but for many it would be a compromise. They'll want either east coast or west coast, New York and Los Angeles being popular. That's what I'd recommend. If you can only have one locat…

(Quote) I do use wireguard, with unbound + blocky for dns. Those self-hosted things are not just about shielding an ip address, though. They are lighter-weight with a much more pleasant interface.
-
(Quote) A public instance for the self-hosted stuff? On my main machines, no, they're private. But I run some public instances separately (307200.xyz). The public instances run on 1gb ram.
-
Several websites, nginx, php-fpm, postfix, dovecot, opendkim, nsd, unbound, asterisk, vsftpd, wireguard, shadowsocks, and bunch of "self-hosted" type things: 4get, searxng, quetre, anonymousoverflow, rimgo, redlib, binternet. I've g…
-
You could just make the only other requirement a new post, too (instead of the questions).
-
Maybe with the new checks in place: (Quote) That would be enough to just create the new user. If they start posting spam, the down votes or reporting should be able to hide it until they're blocked.
-
Since they're not a member yet, are they allowed to post in the thread?
-
(Quote) Looks good now, thanks.
-
(Quote) When I try to upvote your post, I get: "You need at least 25 karma to vote on new member intros."

Nice work, being able to switch between all the themes from one place easily. Looking forward to seeing the vBulletin themes flattened out with all the categories on one page, like regular Vanilla. You might try pure white for the text on the vBul…

(Quote) Makes sense, thanks.

So if you upvote or downvote a post, you get one point taken away from yourself? Is that the way it works? Do you only get points from upvotes, or are there other ways to gain points?
