  • (Quote) How the hell did you know my server's root password? Now I have to change it... Think I'll change it to password123 :p
  • (Quote) Did you know you can change the ssh port to something other then port 22 ? That should be the first change you do before worrying about passwords and RSA keys. Most attacks are just botnets trying random IP with common list of ports. If they…
  • (Quote) I do not agree with this. I think my ssh root user with password toor is secure enough :p On a more serious note, what about those ed25519 keys? Why are people recommending them over RSA keys?
  • Think you are better off posting this in "Request" section
  • (Quote) Damn that's a high bar! Good luck :)
  • Did you contact Ratnakar Bank Limited to ask if they have a PHP library or API? :p
  • (Quote) Admins, I think there is a problem with the mental state of one of our mods! Please give him special attention!
  • Wait, did diwakar reply in a thread he created? Can it be true? Why is it under Technical and not offtopic or general though?
  • (Quote) There isn't much options with just NAT so gameservers are the primary use case for servers without dedicated IPs. Reverse proxy is ok but are usually a pain to setup specially if he wants to offload most of this to the end user as he will st…
  • (Quote) How did you even find this? According to commit history, this was created just last week!
    in IRC in 2024!? Comment by somik March 17
  • (Quote) The same opinion they have when I buy second hand items from carousell and go pick it up in person and hand them my cash. In other words, None.
  • (Quote) It's a popular way to avoid paying Paypal fees. If the seller is reliable, this is a better way to pay as this is same as handing him your cash for your product. And yes, there is no chargeback on this...
  • (Quote) I agree with you. Since there are also bad apples on the provider's side, this is why the users tend to not use their main email for these signups. I understand that there are incentives for the provider to keep emailing the users on their …
  • (Quote) I would never use my real email account on anything given the number of cases of data leaks and data sales and spamming. That said, I would not use a public email forwarder either. I buy a cheap/on-offer domain and setup my own email servic…
  • (Quote) I use windows 11 for gaming. Forget linux, they dont even have proper support for most games and running it in Wine is just an additional layer of complexity and slowness...
  • (Quote) Please dont remind me :cry: Luckily Brother printers has pretty good support for Linux. And by that, I mean they have linux drivers that support some linux distros, like Ubuntu, ubuntu and uBuntu :expressionless: (Does work on all debian b…
  • (Quote) LOL! Ya, i get those two mixed up A LOT! Anyway, Linux seems to have pretty good support for all monitor resolutions so any GUI you go with should be ok if you decide to get a ultrawide :)
  • (Quote) I regret my decision to use a washing machine post...
  • (Quote) 4:3 is 4 parts wide, 3 parts high. What I use is 3.58 parts wide, 3 parts high x2 with two windows. That equates to about 4 parts wide, 3.35 parts high ( 3.58 : 3 = 4 : 3.35 ). So taller then 4:3 Exactly 1720x1440 px per window :)
  • (Quote) I do not think this is necessary. Best to let the admins/mods decide on who gets it. Users can always weigh in in regular threads in the offer threads if they are that offended. In most cases the providers do deserve the tags.
  • (Quote) Ah, yes, forgot that ubuntu got it on the left as almost all of my distros got it at the bottom left. As for the 16:9, get an ultra wide monitor and use it as two side by side windows/screens? That's a 3.58:3 (taller then 4:3) aspect ratio…
  • (Quote) Yea, you are right about the inconvenience to most users if there is no way for them to create threads... Also, 1 month delay would just cause them to sign up and come back after a month to do the same while good providers would be hampered…
  • @Diwakar why dont you participate in discussions over creating 10s of threads? I have only seen you create threads and NEVER reply in the threads yourself. Your threads: https://lowendspirit.com/profile/discussions/Diwakar Your replies: https://low…
  • (Quote) Word of advice, password protect the folder you keep the upload script in. That's the best way to ensure you don't get hacked. Don't rely on the PHP script's password authentication (if any) as there may be ways to circumvent that to upload …
  • (Quote) My 3440x1440 screen doesn't have any issues with any of the GUIs I have tried, and I mostly stick with MATE or LXDE/XFCE.
  • (Quote) That awkward moment when a instruction on non spammy post was AI generated... (Image)
  • If you want something simple, why not go with the most simple of them all? https://github.com/prasathmani/tinyfilemanager Single PHP file gives you the option to upload any file you want and you even get to use it to manage the files.
  • Ramadan Mubarak!
  • Microsoft 365 over google any day if you need good compatibility with office products.
  • Desktop = Linux Mint MATE / Windows 11 PC Recovery = Puppy Linux USB Live Linux = Porteus MATE (for booting public PCs) Server = Ubuntu 22.04 (or any other LTS version) That's what I settled on after trying out 40+ linux distros.
  • (Quote) Thank you very much for the SQL code. I was planning to modify my tables anyway as the existing tables are not working so having actual code really helps!
  • (Quote) Yes, that is certainly an option but wont I need to ensure that the database encoding is also in utf8? (Quote) Sorry, could you please explain a bit about this? Do you mean what @ehab is recommending? (Quote) Oh... this might actually work…
  • (Quote) The country I am residing in, their government uses telegram as one of their official communication channels. So any news, warnings are sent via telegram...
  • (Quote) That's too bad. Then you definitely need to fork out some money for Mr. Paypal :p
  • I haven't used the yubico app. I usually use google authenticator as my TOTP solution and yubikey as the primary login method. That way, if I am outside or using a different PC, i use the totp login. Forgot to mention, all yubico comes with a deskt…
