Ils précisent: "We can’t provision a certificate until your DNS configuration is pointing at the Netlify servers and the changes have propagated." mais je ne trouve pas l'endroit où il y aurait l'adresse IP où je dois pointer mon A record.

J'ai loupé un numéro? Netlify est trop astucieux pour mon admin level?

I have like 5 accounts that I can’t use my personal e-mail for so I’m looking to find a GMail alternative for them to continue my journey to be 100% off Google products.

Does any email provider (paid or free) offer the same level of deliverability, uptime, and have something similar to Google’s Advanced Protection Program (landing.google.com/intl/en_us/)?

Advanced ProtectionGoogle Advanced Protection ProgramThe strongest account security made to protect the personal data and information of people most at risk of phishing, hacking and targeted digital attacks.

is there any VPS provider more chad than #Contabo ?? arcanechat.me VPS went down today, the VPS will simply fail to start from the Control Panel, this WAY TOO OFTEN happens during weekends or holidays, their status page says nothing about any problems or maintenance, and if you try to write to support they will tell you "sorry it is weekend, your message will not even be stored" so I guess arcanechat.me will be down the whole weekend >:-/

Comparing firewall syntax for SSH (port 22) with default-deny:
================================================

#iptables (Linux)
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
iptables -P INPUT DROP

#nftables (Linux)
nft add rule inet my_filter input tcp dport 22 accept
nft add rule inet my_filter input drop

#ufw (Linux - simplified frontend to iptables)
ufw allow 22/tcp
ufw default deny incoming

#pf (OpenBSD)
pass in proto tcp to port 22
block all

pf’s syntax feels so elegant, human-readable, & minimal!

After 20years scripting iptables, I’m ready to try UFW on my laptop.
#firewall #sysadmin #pf #iptables #ufw #nftables

Sachant que :
* il y a 2 jours, on a pris rendez-vous avec notre hébergeur pour une intervention programmé sur un serveur entre 12H et 13H aujourd'hui.
* Je les relançais à 13H15 pour savoir où ça en était.
* ils m'ont répondu que l'intervention sera lancée dès que possible.
* qu'il est 16H est que rien à bougé

Quand aurais-je mon intervention ?

Hearing from more and more #sysadmin folks that the big mail providers are getting so bad that they're unwillingly reading #ryoms to set up their own mail systems.

Kind of a mixed blessing for me. What should I say? "I'm sorry you're going through this, but thanks for the money." "Told you so." "Welcome to suck less."

So I go with "good luck." Because none of us like this.

After I started my first #IT job (and created my Digital Ocean VPS at that time) I decided to create kind of character card for myself, like in #RPG, for writing down my #sysadmin skill levels and progress. I did it in Postgres, probably because database container was one of first things I had on my VPS then.

I created slightly complex system of arbitrary skill and knowledge points, trying hard to not overestimate my skill levels. Like in standard games there are bigger gaps between higher levels and separate "overall sysadmin level" with own points, indirectly dependent on skills' levels' upgrades (and more directly on other kind of knowledge points). Many things are highly relative here as it is not possible to accurately describe own degree of knowledge in numbers. Also some kind of skills could have more "levels" (e.g. familiarity with more complex software learned gradually with time) than others. I have point scale for 10 levels now. And I am almost sure I wouldn't reach higher than 6-7 "overall sysadmin level" in my lifetime :blobcatsweat:

I didn't update it since October 2023. Today I log in and tried to clean that mess. I feel I should make short paper notes about my progress frequently, like I was doing in previous job. Updates would be easier...
