Other people do these crimes, doesn’t mean you should do it. There are cleaner ways to make more money, you know?

There’s always a way to get out (not involving d—h or s-----e). You just haven’t pursued the right routes to get out.


1st, You use GRUB to boot Windows? Da hek? 2nd, I think you’re cooked.

I use grub one one of my pcs to dual boot 2 different versions of windows… And ubuntu

4 Likes

Fine reason to use GRUB, because you have the option to boot other OSes.

But…

I only see one option on @redsusvn’s image… this seems redundant…

Why are you on “Evaluation” :rofl:


Setting up Discourse once again for more testing

OK so Discourse setup decides to give me this non-existent error

(<unknown>): did not find expected key while parsing a block mapping at line 40 column 3 -e LANG=en_US.UTF-8
YAML syntax error. Please check your containers/*.yml config files.

Line 40 is not even LANG, line 40 is LC_ALL

Found the problem. new Discourse setup script encrypts the SMTP password by default but it’s broken because it carelessly puts double quotes on the password, breaking the YAML


Tripped over on this stupid SMTP thing again, gonna reinstall OS and start over

my dad’s laptop with windows 7 uses grub4dos to inject a cracked license to the windows install :neutral_face:

Well that’s old :laughing:

These days few people still uses OEM license injection because it conflicts with secure boot

Admin > Community > Group permissions

There’s a setting called “Edit all topic groups”, by default it’s configured to trust_level_3.

If what I quoted is what is desired, then this should be configured to trust_level_4, instead of being removed completely.

Thanks! That setting is now enabled for TL4.

a cool confusion material for tonight: mofh’s nameservers ptr record doesn’t actually match the intended IPs. ns1’s PTR is ns1, good. but, ns2’s PTR is ns3, ns3’s PTR is ns2, ns4’s PTR is ns3, and ns5’s PTR is ns4. also mofh feels like another cloud computing giant. all of their NS is centralized in one location (FranTech in New Mexico,) so if that entire DC goes down, say goodbye to free subdomains :person_running:

No, it isn’t.

The nameserver IPs are anycasted across Europe, US East and US West. The only thing that’s in New Mexico is the registered office of the company providing that infrastructure.

And no, you cannot tell this from the IP WHOIS information. That only tells you who owns the IP address and where they are located, IP addresses do not inherently have a physical presence anywhere.

i use ipinfo to check the IPs, and could’ve sworn for CF IPs it has Anycast tag. I guess FranTech can tell ipinfo to update the info. Also admin, how often you watch TV in your country?

i’m addicted to this theme for hours :tropical_drink:. alright, let’s run an experiment :notebook:

Let’s Encrypt will soon™ move to 45 days certificates.

DNS-PERSIST-01 Sounds awesome

let’s reveal the said experiment. and that is i tried to use cloudns’ subdomain here. as it was listed in PSL, it worked. but i thought client area’s SSL issuer caught a rate limit error or something to the point i close the page, but turns out it worked ._.

don’t know why i’m going with a meh response here, but alright. it’s a required change anyway :face_with_peeking_eye:

What’s this “ipinfo” thing? I’ve never heard of it. Is it a tool? A service?

IP addresses don’t have a physical location. IP addresses are owned by a network operator, and the WHOIS information of an IP address shows who owns that IP address. That network operator can then freely use that IP address however they want in their own network, which could span locations across the planet.

GeoIP databases are not facts, they are educated guesses. Other organizations feed them data with address details and IP addresses corresponding to them. Whenever my home IP changes, websites usually think I’m in a city in a completely different part of the country, because that’s where my ISP had used the IP address before.

I don’t, I cancelled the subscription many years ago. And I don’t have much time to watch anything nowadays.

It’s going to be mandatory by 2029 for all CAs. Let’s Encrypt is ahead of the curve here by enforcing it a year ahead of time, but this is still an early notice.

I’m curious to see what’s going to happen with all companies that currently charge for certificates and have manual verification processes by email. Selling 5 year certificates that you have to manually reissue every year is still feasible, but every 45 days?

Agreed! I hate how you often have to give the SSL tool unlimited access to your domain’s DNS zone for the certificates. And using something like acme-dns has its own problems.

You can still watch antenna for free, and YouTube and Tubi, if you have internet (which I guess you do). (does anyone actually watch cable?)
