@MattSpeller Oh man, that sucks.
Which one is it? I'm so confused!!!!
Classic...
It has come out in the news that police departments in the US have been involved with promoting and even purchasing and distributing malware that installs a keylogger and steals data from users. Unbelievable. The people who are supposed to be protecting the citizens are the very ones involved in stealing their data. There should be severe penalties for this sort of thing.
Just got an email about this: Ten Steps to Linux Survival

That little bit of edgy-ness keeps me sharp.
Honestly, that's why I stuck around and spend much more time here than elsewhere now. IE The Spiceworks Community forums isn't getting me a good slap upside the head when I do something stupid.
It's a bit more aggressive here, I think, but in a more professional way. Like a continuous technical roundtable. Everyone is on the same page. Spice Comm has a lot of people that are pretty surprised when someone proposes a different idea or points out a problem.
I can't even begin to keep up. It's past the point of keeping on top of the site casually in any way.
Hey yo! What's up everybody!
Had a vendor use this phrase with us today and I have no idea what it might refer to. Never heard this term before and a quick Google of it turns up... zippo. Anyone know what they might be referring to? This is from a DNS host manager.

Intresting:
Active Directory: Bridging the gap between system administrators and Linux developersUbuntu machines can join an Active Directory (AD) domain at installation for central configuration. AD administrators can now manage Ubuntu workstations, which simplifies compliance with company policies.
Ubuntu 21.04 adds the ability to configure system settings from an AD domain controller. Using a Group Policy Client, system administrators can specify security policies on all connected clients, such as password policies and user access control, and Desktop environment settings, such as login screen, background and favourite apps.
FInally Ubuntu joins the stone age, lol.
Just had a Covetrus "support tech" not be able to install their MSI and to try to blame us he actually made the claim that their MSI file that he had just downloaded and run himself was actually "our responsibility for being part of the operating system."
WTF dude. Obviously we aren't going to fall for that. How the hell would their application's MSI file be provided by Windows 10?
@siringo said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
yeah, that's weird. Just a YouTube bug. Go to videos, it has lots.
Talking to support at Weave, the supposed phone vendor today, and their "technical support" asked us the difference between switch ports, and wall ports, and tried to claim that they have customers that don't need switches! Um... who do you think you are fooling buddy?
@JaredBusch said in httpd dead but pid file exists:
In fact, I would rename anything in conf.d first, and restart.
You could do something like this...
mv conf.d conf.d.orig
mkdir conf.d
That way you have an empty folder, but can replace it with the old one in a snap all at once.

US only at launch (pun intended), but sounds like global coverage coming quickly.
@Pete-S said in Building a Mail Server:
If you put cpanel on a server - not saying you should - but don't you get a complete mail setup with dovecot, postfix, spamassasin and the whole shebang? And then set it to relay smtp through mailgun.
Isn't that what all those website and email providers do? Or are they each running custom configs?
Typically they only offer IMAP and POP, even a web interface is rare. It's normally very basic email, not "groupware" like most business mean with calendars and stuff. So you have to bring your own IMAP client.
