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.

Thanks!
And I know. But I’m lazy.

Registered neidu3 there, but I’m not giving you my email address. Any chance you could activate my account manually?

Very marketable, but not from a corporate standpoint. I love it. I think you’ll be seeing neidu3 registering soon.

Previous job: Windows, because it was a company issued laptop. Plus a lot of the company was built around the MS ecosystem.

Current job: Linux, because I got to keep the perfectly decent Dell laptop when I left. I wanted to make sure I purged everything, so it’s running LMDE now. Plus, there’s not much outlook and teams stuff that I have to use.

I blame Daniel

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.

That’s for mobniks and the like. The prize offered isn’t large enough for the ones enabling the war to defect - They only have incentives to keep on keeping on and avoiding windows.

My hardware is. But I suspect the linux support is lacking in MSFS24.

If War Thunder taught me anything, it is to never bring more ammo into battle than you need, to reduce the chance of a cookout. I guess mobniks were never told.

I thought the 70m record last year would stand for eternity. Did these guys have extra propellant laying around on the floor or something?

It’s been 20 years since I lasted opened an m2, so I don’t remember exactly, but the part I’m talking about is a fairly nondescript metal piece sticking up from the bolt carrier. I may remember it incorrectly that it has to be back and not forward.

Also, the drill + file is what I was told. I never saw it happen.

I’ve had the pleasure of using one, and the reasons for its continued use are many, but I’ll list a few:

• Proven design that works well
• Ease of maintenance (except from that one bit you absolutely have to remember to flip forward before inserting the bolt carrier, lest you have to drill in from the side to file it off to unjam the bolt carrier)
• Objectively cool
• Adds three inches to your penis size (men), a couple of letters to the cup size (women), or either/both for anyone else
• NATO has literal tonns upon tones of ammo for it. Tha m82 shooter is sure as hell not removing the linked chains from all of it so he can carry it around himself.

I have a vague memory from the late 90’s during the dotcom bubble where there was this site where you could pay, log in, remotely control an actuated hunting rifle, and shoot an animal. It was deemed legal as it was legal where the actual shot was fired.

By the same logic I would think this idea would be legal as well.

The one thing they managed to enjoy was made in Finland

And his WMDs for a change

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.

Throw in some F14 with Iranian livery as well.
