AFAIK, they only offer the opt-out form in the EU and UK

Note: not every provider supports this.

Also, gmail addresses ignore periods. [email protected] and [email protected] will end up in the same inbox

I think SFTP would work plenty. On linux you can use rclone to mount it, and Android has many file managers that support it (personal favorite is Total Commander with the SFTP plugin)

You could also certainly host a full Nextcloud instance, but it might be a bit overkill

You can use a DNS challenge to show you are in control of the domain without having anything exposed to the net. Essentially LE gives you a special value you have to add as a TXT DNS entry. LE will check if this record exists for your domain, and gives you a certificate, no public IP involved. This even allows you to create wildcard certificates.

I use sendgrid, it only requires some DNS entries for Domain Authentication. Also regarding the catch-22, if you use Cloudflare for DNS, you could use their email routing to forward incoming mails to Gmail

Input means the packet stops at the router, like when you access its web ui. I don’t think you want to give the internet access to your router settings :)

yes, lan is the Local Area Network, wan is the Wide Area Network. The zone lan refers to the devices on the local side, wan to the great internet.

Disclaimer: I am not a professional network engineer, this is just what i found out after researching some iptables terminology.

the lan => wan is perhaps a bit misleading. lan is the zone, or which side of the router this firewall rule is in reference to. wan is another zone, the arrow shows where packets of type Forward are ending up.

• Input means packets originating from another device within this zone with the router as the destination.
• Output is a packet from the router to another device in the zone.
• Forward is a packet originating from one zone with a destination in another zone.

When forward on the wan interface is set to reject, it essentially means no device from outside may initiate a connection. However, they may respond to already opened connection.

I don’t yet know what masquerade does.

it allows easy scripting. also for frequently used commands, i can just scroll up in the history, instead if clicking the same buttons over and over

I’m a bit inexperienced in this aspect, but:

• if you are on a trusted network (i.e. local/vpn only) you could give VNC a try. It’s somewhat simple, but far from secure.
• the gnome desktop environment should offer built in RDP support, but i have not tried it yet. Also, just like VNC, i wouldn’t use RDP over the open internet.

you can also use the -f option to specify the compose file without going to it.

presumably this graph shows the buying price, discounted or not. going by that, the site probably adopted the regular price as the “sale price” and inflated the non-discounted price. after black friday the promotion ended and the price returns to the “old” value.

fun situations can arise when you write , instead of ; For those not in the know, in c++ the comma operator evaluates the left expression, discards the value, then evaluates the right expression and returns the value. if you now have a a situation like this

int i = 0,
printf("some message");

i has a completely different value, since it actually uses the return value of printf instead

Did you set the modem to bridge mode/DMZ, or alternatively set it to port forward to the router. The router should then port forward to the server.

Are you sure the IP address in duckdns is correct? Do you have a static or dynamic public IP, and if dynamic, how are you updating it?

proposal to rename exit() to oh_shit_oh_shit_oh_shit()

You can toggle the toolbars with F9. Alternatively, View->Show Toolbars

I don’t know, I use it on Linux and it works fine there. What exactly do you mean by “weird layout?”
