I'd get rid of the rsize and wsize parameters, or increase them considerably to something like 65536. The value of 8192 was established back when most networks ran 10MBit Ethernet.
You can tell apt not to upgrade a package with the command
sudo apt-mark hold packagename
I don't know how this applies to upgrading to an entirely new release using dist-upgrade.
See the...
I find DLNA just as stutter-free as NFS even over wifi. I prefer NFS, but there are fewer clients.
If the mount point is owned by nobody, ordinary users cannot write to it. Try exporting a directory you own on the server like /home/username. Can you mount that?
NFSv4 has some additional...
There isn't anyone between me and the DNS server; that was my point. I generally don't have other people on my wifi network either, and those that do connect have no interest in my DNS queries.

As I recall, iptables rules can be written to the kernel before the relevant devices are created. On older RedHat machines, the iptables script would be run before the network was started to avoid...
All my DNS queries go to a server on my local network running BIND. From my reading of this discussion, encrypting DNS only affects the traffic between the client and the DNS server. As a result I...
My Yamaha receiver has a bunch of preset audio profiles. I can also control the level of each speaker. Sometimes I'll make the center channel much louder than the sides, then turn the overall volume...
Having read your preceding posting, I'd examine the DHCP reservations.
There might be "reservations" on the DHCP server, stale mappings between MAC addresses and IP addresses. If the addresses are assigned by a Linux server running isc-dhcp-server, you can delete...
Yes, if you connect a computer to the modem's Ethernet jack, you will be directly on the public Internet. I prefer to have a router between the Internet and my internal network, but it is possible to...
A web server like Apache is probably the easiest and safest way to go for external access. Make sure you use at least Basic authentication so a username and pasword will be required. You can force...
sudo apt install minidlna
Edit /etc/minidlna.conf with "sudo nano /etc/minidlna.conf" and set the "V=" line to point to the directory where the video files are stored.
sudo systemctl start...
Certainly looks like the drive is not being recognized by the system. Have another cable? Another free SATA port?
I had this problem and discovered I had accidentally disabled my wifi card by a key combination or switch. Just a thought.
If you're using Firefox, I recommend both the Ghostery and uBlock Origin add-ins.
I'm on Kubuntu and use the network configuration tool that appears in the panel. Mine has a little wifi icon or a little computer depending on whether I'm using a wifi or wired connection.
I stay as far away from netplan as I possibly can. For one thing, I believe it's very sensitive to syntax like whether to use spaces or tabs. I hate stuff like that.
For client machines, I just...
I'm puzzled. Do you have a VPN that links the remote server with a local machine? If not, what is the VPN supposed to do?
Look in the BIOS and make sure the drive is marked as the boot device.
Also you may find the default desktop environment for Ubuntu not to your liking. Luckily there are many alternatives. I prefer KDE myself and use the Kubuntu distribution as a result:...
The easiest way to specify a DNS server in new versions of Ubuntu running systemd-resolved is to add the server's address to the "DNS" line in /etc/systemd/resolved.conf and restart systemd-resolved...
I usually do things like this using Gwenview or GIMP, but convert is another easy solution.
convert image.jpg -resize 241x777! new.jpg
The exclamation point indicates that the resizing should...
You can do this with routing rules. First let's suppose the VPN tunnel has addresses 10.0.0.1 on the server end and 10.0.0.2 on the client end. Also let's suppose you have a local network with...
