I just landed on my 3rd - Gleba. Vulcanus and Fulgora are “good enough” for now. Once I have Gleba science up and running, I’ll migrate to a bigger Nauvis base, because my starter base is bottlenecked by copper throughput with no easy way of increasing it.

When this group of people on discord are online: Helldivers 2. It’s a nice way of killing time while chitchatting.

When not: Factorio with the recently release Space Age expansion. Absolutely loving it.

Well, with linux you get the option of sending mixed signals through the use of varying count of guns. I find 9 to be highly effective.

Some surface-level info while I’m waiting for my kids to finish the evening ritual: No need for an extra IP or VPS. You can host them all on the same IP and machine, provided there aren’t any conflicting port assignments.

In the DNS server, you can enter the various subdomains as CNAME pointing to the A record. The server-software is configured with which hostname it should operate as (For example, HTTP/1.1 has a Host-specification in the initial request, so that one server can host multiple domains on the same IP)

It should be noted that mail servers are indicated by an MX-record. And mailservers should also have a TXT record (SPF record) as part of spam prevention - some SMTP servers query this to ensure that your e-mail actually comes from you and not from someone spoofing the domain.

I used to have a zone file that did roughly what you’re trying to do, bit sadly I don’t have it anymore. But as you have DNS up and running, I’m sure you’ll be able to figure out the rest through checking some examples.

I half-baked an example zone file for you. I haven’t tested it, though. It assumes the domain of blargh.com being hosted from an IP of 123.123.123.123:

$TTL 86400
@    IN    SOA   ns1.blargh.com. admin.blargh.com. (
                2024102102 ; Serial (incremented)
                3600       ; Refresh
                1800       ; Retry
                1209600    ; Expire
                86400      ; Minimum TTL
)

; Name servers
@    IN    NS    ns1.blargh.com.
@    IN    NS    ns2.blargh.com.

; A Records
@            IN    A      123.123.123.123
ns1          IN    A      123.123.123.123
ns2          IN    A      123.123.123.123

; CNAME Records
mail         IN    CNAME  blargh.com.
mastodon     IN    CNAME  blargh.com.
matrix       IN    CNAME  blargh.com.

; MX Records
@            IN    MX     10 mail.blargh.com.

; TXT/SPF Record
@            IN    TXT    "v=spf1 mx ~all"

Oh, and some tips:

• Do not enable SMTP-relay on your SMTP server. This opens you up to abuse, and you (probably) don’t need it.
• Your DNS server should only talk to strangers about queries about your domain. Otherwise you might be part of a DNS amplification attack.
• I have a personal preference for imap.blargh.com or pop3.blargh.com, combined with smtp.blargh.com, as it makes it easier to deduct the protocol, if you’re not supporting imap and pop3. I don’t think anyone else but me care, though.

This got me thinking: If I, for some masochistic reason, decided to switch to MacOS - is it possible to install it on an average PC?

I for one prefer demon linux over fish linux. In fact, that’s how I first dipped my toes into the world of unix-ish OSes with FreeBSD 3.3.

In my book WSL and VM share the same downside in that you’re only abstracting Linux functionality in relation to the hardware.

Linux really shines when it has full access to the actual hardware as opposed to asking it’s environment nicely if it’s allowed to do something.

For example, I routinely need to change my IP address to talk to specific networks and network hosts, but having to step over the virtualisation or interpretation layer to do so is just another step, thus removing the advantage of running linux in the first place.

Sure, VMs and dual booting have their uses, but the same uses can be serviced by an actual linux install while also being infinitely more powerful.

I played around with WSL for a while, but you notice really quickly that it is not the real thing. I’ve used virtual box for some use cases, but that too feels limiting ad all of the hardware you want to fully control is only abstracted.

I would say that unless he has a really good reason why he wouldn’t want to go for dual boot, then he should do just that.

Any suggestion for a manufacturer/vendor? I might actually need a few of this at work.

This is why all those women chose the bear

Meh, init 6, you coward

Now, imagine this revolutionary improvement: Find a way of putting the energy source outside of the train somehow, and save on weight by not hauling those heavy batteries around.

Christ, the amount of times techbros and tesla fanboys have accidentally “invented” trains and trams these past few years is beyond stupid…

While you were writing that, I was expanding my comment as the current (2010ish and later) super hero writers have kind of realized that government isn’t inherently good. Which time frame are you referencing?

I just want to start this sentence with saying that I know literally nothing about Captain America, but I’m willing to bet that Captain America would be a much better choice. Maybe not the current reincarnation, as most movie studios have realized that not everyone is pro establishment. But maybe Captain America of a few decades ago.

I’m OOtL on this one. What/who is/was Concord? And what happened to it/them?

Because right wingers spent the past ten years repackaged the fear mongering about “The Gay Agenda” and call it woke instead.

I’ve been there a bunch. It’s a bit expensive and peopley, but It’s OK*

*: This opinion was 100% based on the fact that I’ve only visited the Charles de Gaulle “suburb”

By promoting the distros that have this as a goal, such as Mint.

I would suggest Ubuntu in this category, but… eww…

What is this? A gif for ants?

Pretty much when you posted that, I found this in my dmesg:

[  715.744332] e1000e 0000:00:1f.6: Interrupt Throttling Rate (ints/sec) set to dynamic conservative mode
[  715.965683] e1000e 0000:00:1f.6: The NVM Checksum Is Not Valid
[  716.008541] e1000e: probe of 0000:00:1f.6 failed with error -5

Just for the record, I compared modinfo up against lspci, and the PCI ID matches, so the driver should work. Is it possible to ignore the NVM checksum and try anyway? Because any tool I can find that communicates with the EEPROM on a hardware level is made for msdos.
