Boy THAT will work! Good idea government!

Very very aware.

So you had another mail server elsewhere that port forwarded port 25 via port 22 to your internal mail server’s port 25.

I take it that outside mail server was secure.

That’s an impressive setup.

Did you really only use it when you were home? If you used it outside the firewall then port 25 must have been open also.

I used to run my own server and this was in the early 90s. Then one day, perusing the logs I realized I was not smart enough on the security front to even attempt such a thing. It was quickly shut down and the MX record moved to an outsourced mail provider.

When you call the cops you’re calling people who can kill you with impunity and get a paid vacation for doing so. Just say no to calling the cops.

My answer may not quite fit the topic. But I’ll share anyway.

In the late 20-teens, ZZ Top and John Fogerty we’re touring together. My wife and I saw them on the Jersey Shore (thanks VetTix!) and Fogerty opened the show and absolutely killed it. Then ZZ Top played and Billy Gibbons just didn’t have it anymore. We left early.

Several weeks later they played Jones Beach Amphitheatre and thanks to VetTix we got to go again. Once again Fogerty knocked it out of the park and Billy was just not up to snuff.

It was sad.

Interestingly, Billy Gibbons is featured on one of the tracks of Slash’s new album Orgy of the Damned. That track is the perfect fit for Gibbons and it holds together beautifully.

I really want to move my domain from Google to Proton, but family accounts at Proton are so dang expensive. Fastmail is far cheaper than Google, so that looks like it might be a really good option.

You do not need a college education to get a good job. The trades need good workers and they make pretty good money. Go down to a union hall and offer to be an apprentice at something. Build some of those skills you say you don’t have!

I’m 247.5 Oreo Cookies tall, that is many more Oreos than most, but not as many as some.

Thanks! My wife is a Soldier. We sometimes have interesting conversations about stuff like this.

Our government has completely lost its way. The Founders would be both appalled and ashamed.

Really good to see him back doing his thing!

This relationship can be saved as long as the guy’s wife does not start expressing an interest in Emacs. That would, of course, put an end to the relationship, but if she’s one of those “Notepad is all I need” types, there is hope this can be worked through.

From what I’ve read it was already unplayable…

60yo here.

I spent the first 40 years of my life in Portland, OR (it used to be a great city). Then I married a Soldier and I’ve lived in several other places. We started in Denver spent two years there. It’s a fantastic city, but really expensive. Then we spent 3.5 years on Long Island, living in East Meadow, I hated how crowded it was, what the traffic was like. My wife has an 18 mile commute that often took 90 minutes. Then we moved to Fort Knox, Kentucky. We bought a house off post. The cost of living is much lower than other places we’ve lived. Our town is 2600 people. The people are polite and kind and our plan is after our next PCS next summer, to return here when my wife retires at 30 years.

I have two of them, one in my GLI and one in my wife’s Palisade.

Really worthwhile.

You get a reply just because it’s the quality of your post

That is a really interesting anecdote I find it both surprising and completely understandable.

Gosh, thank you so much!

This is my answer also. I wish I was multi-lingual.

I’m regularly on calls with people for whom English is not their primary language. Almost without fail they apologize for their poor English. I regularly tell those people, “please don’t apologize, you do me that courtesy of communicating with me in my native tongue. I am completely unable to reciprocate that courtesy.”

I’d love to be fluent in Spanish, French, German.
