Similar to SeijiSensei,I've got my external IP whitelisted and drop all other traffic to my ssh port.

No more brute force attacks in my auth.log since no connections are established. I see a ton...

I don't know if this helps, but googling "The server response was: UGFzc3dvcmQ6" returns that "UGFzc3dvcmQ6" is base64 encoded version of "Password:".

How is your application trying to send mail?

Try this nginx config so you can get certbot to issue you a certificate:



# Listen on HTTP
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com;
charset utf-8; # Character...

Have you been able to get certbot working? If so, where is it placing the certificates?

Why are you commenting out the SSL blocks? Just testing?

I don't think the listen blocks like comments, so remove the ssl reference and see if the config passes or not.

I tried to roll my own mail server once upon a time, but it was more hassle then it was worth.

I ended up going with mxroute for my email. I'm on their "small" plan since I'm only hosting email...

Hi,

Cloudflare can do SSL for you rather than present the certificate you have configured on your site. See here: https://www.cloudflare.com/ssl/

You can verify this by viewing the certificate...

Hi, ZFS will always be mounted as a folder, rather than showing up as a device in the GUI.

You can work around it by bookmarking the folder the pool is mounted under and you are able to change the...

Does streaming stuff via YouTube count as "music videos?" :)

Do you get any output when you run this command?


sudo apt upgrade

It should tell you which dependency is missing and why it is unable to resolve it.

Same here. When I first started, I had a heck of a time even doing basic stuff. This was back on 9.10 too, and Ubuntu has evolved as the years have gone by.



That's true. Change can throw a...

Isn't it kind of asking the same question as "I wonder if anyone will use powershell now that's it's cross platform."

Some will, some won't.

I rarely use Edge, but I have to test against it at...

You would need some sort of out of band management such as IPMI or iDRAC or something else in order to enter the encryption key on boot.

There are some ways around that by proving the key via SSH,...

I do the same. Just be sure to test them regularly - they are useless if they have bad batteries. :)

That looks really fancy!

I've got a Kill a Watt that I use for measuring power usage per device or per power strip. It's actually fairly cheap, but it can be a bit hard to read if it's stuffed...

They don't build the dedicated cards to sip power, especially with the amount of memory and cores each of them has.

For example, the GT 730 you have is rated at 38 Watts and has 1GB of memory with...

Moved this to the cafe as it isn't really a Ubuntu question.

As for your question, it depends on the wiring of your house. If you overload the circuit the circuit breakers will trip.

Are you...

If that device is not present, normally the kernel modules are not loaded, so it is unlikely you would be affected.

However, as EuclideanCoffee said, ensure your system is patched. You don't...

I don't think it is, but I've been using a USB flash drive as /boot because I've got an internal USB header.

It made my overall partitioning scheme a hell of a lot easier since I was able to...

That's great news. Glad you were able to get it fixed by adding the missing certificate.

Hi,

Just a heads up, but 14.04 went end of life last year: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2019/04/ubuntu-14-04-end-of-life

It looks like /usr/local/share/ssl is for root certificates, not the...

That would be nice. When I first got encrypted root (but not /boot) set up, I tried getting it to read the keys off the TPM, but it was more of a pain in the butt than I wanted to deal with.

I...

Nah, it looks like it's a hosted box since they mentioned VPS and OVH, which is a hosting company.



Honestly, once a machine is compromised it's usually best to nuke it and reinstall from...

I definitely agree with you.

There are even things like CIS Benchmarks for hardening, but they aren't a one-and-done deal. They need to be tailored to your environment.

What? How large of a file are they talking about?

There are several FTP programs that support resuming interrupted downloads and uploads if an unstable internet connection is the problem.
