  2. yes, id like to keep this forum name
  3. wilcox.pub phosphor.space i would like to keep this forum account is possible
  4. hi i recently used my new tommy account invite to get an account but it required me a create a new account. i would like to merge this (forum) account with my new account (and maintain access to the HelioHost Software Development) also: my new tommy account storage needs to be increased to 3000mb because of previous donations and my domains on my old account need to be unregistered my new account: mwilcox tommy.heliohost.org miwilc@gmx.com current account: (old username, not working): miwilc tommy.heliohost.org michael.wilcox2016@gmail.com
  5. hi. i made a donation to the fundraiser on gofund me and would like to request the increase in storage space be added to my account. i donated to the previous fundriser so this will be to 3000mb. the email is the same as this account. username:miwilc server: tommy
  6. Hey, I was away for a while and my account was archived. Can it please be unarchived? Username: miwilc Server: tommy
  7. @wolstech MariaDB for MySQL all the way. Especially on Windoze. I don't use NoSQL, but I can see it being helpful. So +1 for MongoDB. -1 for MSDB, no Software I know uses or recommends that. And python too maybe?
  8. There's irony in this one...we usually recommend a VPN or proxy as a solution for this. It's especially helpful for people on mobile because cell phone data plan IPs change very frequently (tower to tower, or even just if the time between communications is long enough).I use a full private VPN, never had this problem. The only website that blocked that IP was my provider's (who doesn't allow VPNs.)
  9. It needs be enabled in settings: https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps
  10. I just use a dedicated provider for my email so I've avoided most of these problems. SPF should be enabled however. D: DMARC is not that hard, it can be set at the root domain.
  11. manually installed deb's are not managed by the package manager, and it is not updated by the package manager. This is a security risk if nothing else. Most packages are available from the package manager. Some .deb's can break your system.
  12. If the staff is collecting names, just donated about $20. Quite awesome that it's expanding
  13. Doesn't everyone break their first install tho? I recommend wipe the drive and install Ubuntu MATE. https://ubuntu-mate.org Obviously backup your data. It WILL be lost. Hi Bailey,In addition to Krydos's post, I suggest you to download apps in a deb file. This format can be installed with one click! This is the worst advice. DO NOT download or install .deb's. it's rarely/never needed. Chrome is a exception, not a rule. As for .tar.gz is considered: look into https://wiki.debian.org/CheckInstall And a good text editor: https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/linux_repositories.html @Bailey python (2) is installed by default, it is required by some system software (Which-is-supposed-to-be-C-but-lets-not-get-into-it-now) Python 3 is also included.. I think. systemctl is superior to init.d and everyone knows it.Technically it is systemd and SysV if we go by the package names. And to be fair, I think most users are good with systemd but the opposition have good points too for SysV/others.
  14. I'm not sure about the stock Ubuntu experience but I can recommend using these ubuntu-based ones over that. Ubuntu MATE: Which is more like Windows, quite easy to use. Quite good. Pop!_OS: Made by a open hardware company, quite good too. http://pop.system76.com/docs/difference-between-pop-ubuntu/ Also a shout-out to Solus (Linux): non-ubuntu-based, Developer focused, rolling release so more advanced than Ubuntu-based. Windows will break eventually, don't worry. Enjoy Linux. It will help if your learn basic shell commands. And a early welcome to the init system wars. After you got your OS running type: sudo apt install fish git curl curl -L https://get.oh-my.fish | fish If you ever need bash, just type: "bash" Feel free to use the water closet in discord too. To install Google chrome: sudo apt-get install libxss1 libappindicator1 libindicator7 wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i google-chrome*.deb sudo apt-get install -f Also: just stay away from Mint. It's a security minefield. Ubuntu includes proprietary software by Default (see the FSF.)
  15. Good enough, make sure it's included in the newsletters too.
