  • (Quote) Yeah, the official announcements were released the same day, after my post went up. It matched what I expected.
  • I expected an official website update at debian.org some time today (10 June 2023). It would be helpful to see. As of this post the website still shows the late May 2023 announcement. "Today" may not yet be over, depending on where you liv…
  • I am trying to figure out whether all the excitement is an indication that Linux is gaining traction all over, or whether I have been more focused on related projects, so I am seeing it more by coincidence and timing. Either way, I'll give it a try…
  • (Quote) I was referring to the work they did to develop the ACME protocols and the overall architecture.
  • I have not used any free CAs other than Let's Encrypt. The reason is mostly because Let's Encrypt came first. In addition, I trust the people behind Let's Encrypt. I have also used self-signed certs where appropriate.
  • Cloudflare: I moved to Cloudflare for its "at cost" renewal pricing. To use Cloudflare's free domain registration services, you must use Cloudflare DNS and accept a private registration. I read elsewhere that domain transfers between Clou…

  • (Quote) Are you sure? How do you know that the other LowEndSpirit members are people? "On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog."
  • (Quote) For the most part, you can get away with doing anything you want on your VPS as long as you do not draw attention to it from the provider. That means that your VPS does not use more than a reasonable amount of shared resources and it stays u…
  • Hi Bill - I am trusting that you are truly a beginner with VPSs and not a troll. A dedicated server is a physical computer. If you need the full resources of that computer, rent a dedicated server. A dedicated server can also be divided into many …
  • Adding later: I am currently running an older macOS on my computer. The /etc/resolv.conf file contains the text I posted above. -> There is a command line tool for configuring DNS on a Mac. I did not know about it until now. I just checked the /…
  • (Quote) Sorry, but this is not the appropriate or correct solution to change the DNS settings on a Mac. One major issue is that the "chattr" command is not installed by default on macOS. (macOS is based on freeBSD Unix, not Linux). Another…
  • Files that I am currently using or referencing or working on often go on the desktop, where they are easy to find. If the desktop gets cluttered, I clean them up. I confess that I also have a catch-all folder named "Desktop to Sort", which…
  • (Quote) An interesting, educational, and entertaining story. Thanks for sharing.
  • (Quote) I would like to share that I do the same with terminal windows in those accounts. Both have black backgrounds, and have the same colors as those old CRT computer monitors, if anyone remembers them. The terminal in the admin account uses gre…
  • Solid colors, dark enough to make icons easy to see on the desktop, but not too dark. Solid gray for the admin account, which is used for updates, software installation, configuration changes, etc.. Solid blue for the unprivileged personal working…
  • In my opinion there should be no reserve. If you auction your domain, you must take your chances and accept the high bid. KISS. Moderator involvement should be minimized. Moderators should not play "reserve escrow brokers" or other extra …
  • I am glad you found it useful. I doubt it will be useful to many others in its current form. It is well-intentioned, but I believe that it needs considerable work to become useful to others. The first task would be to determine the target audience a…
  • (Quote) Are you Anchal, the author? I will try to give you constructive, serious feedback, unlike the posts above. The document is very long, almost "stream of consciousness", which makes it hard to read. It needs a carefully written over…
  • I have been using FreeDNS (afraid.org) for 10 years and can vouch for the owner. If you use the free version, you must login a few times a year to keep your account active, but it sends automatic email reminders. FreeDNS (afraid.org) offers free su…
  • I am not having fun trying to setup VLANs on the cheap. The switch configuration interfaces and documentation suck, and I have access point issues as well. I would like to find different access points. Figuring out how to "bootstrap" the c…
  • A summary description of Darkstar might help those who do not know about it.
  • I strongly recommend that you separate the VPS provider and the offsite backups to two independent entities. I would also verify the restore process before you go live. It is no fun to troubleshoot restore issues while the system is down. Just ask t…
  • My first provider was YourDomainGoesHere (YDGH) which was run by @corey. That was over 12 years ago. Later I had another VPS from Corey through BitAccel. Sadly, BitAccel shut its doors in 2021. Hats off to Corey for great service and helping me boo…
  • (Quote) I won't argue with your comment. At the time, I was tired of bot-generated useless comparison websites, so I thought that the real people here might have experience . You saw the results, so I never tried that again.
