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

@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?

 

 

Or, you could be using a VPN, when I use one this is the issue caused. If you need to use a VPN then you need to find one with a static IP.

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.)

It needs be enabled in settings:

https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps

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.

I didn't know this... Could me explain why?

Most packages are available from the package manager.

Some .deb's can break your system.

If the staff is collecting names, just donated about $20.

Quite awesome that it's expanding

Well, looks like I'm in for the ride whether I like it or not because I just corrupted Windows lol.

I recommend wipe the drive and install Ubuntu MATE. https://ubuntu-mate.org

Obviously backup your data. It WILL be lost.

 

Do you have any tips: Security, good applications? What extension (Windows .exe) etc does Linux use and is it highly compatible with web software. Such as GitHub or other things like Python?

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!

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.

 

And a early welcome to the init system wars.

systemctl is superior to init.d and everyone knows it.

And to be fair, I think most users are good with systemd but the opposition have good points too for SysV/others.

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.)

I have always asked them to unsubscribe from the website. I provide a link for them.

Good enough, make sure it's included in the newsletters too.

 

 

Please explain how you are obtaining the email addresses you're sending mail to, how the owner of the address has given you consent to send them mail (do they sign up on your website for instance?), and how they can unsubscribe from your mail. We do not allow sending unsolicited mail or spam.

 

Also, please post an example of the emails being sent.

I own a popular school website. I get emails from a list I got from students and parents subscribing to newsletters. The email contains news regarding admission and school news as well. Thank you.

How do people unsubscribe?

This is required when running a newsletter.

@cheapzid you should contact your registrar about changing NS records.

HelioHost can't help here, sorry.

Ok, I'll donate. But how do you increase user's storage space? Because there will be too many users who want to donate. Will it be like donate for an account on "Tommy" instantly or something else?

And what do you mean by "2000MG"?

And will every users who have donated get the same storage space?

From what I'm understanding, you can either get a account on Lilly or increase your current account to 2000mb.

From what I read, @Krydos plans to do is to offer unlimited storage later on... Which is actually pretty nice imo.

Don't worry about too many donations, we can always get more space..

@Krydos Node causes quite high loads and most apps require custom open ports, are you sure this can be done safely?

Are you on Johnny?

It so the try:

hostname: johnny.heliohost.org

protocol: FTP

port: 21

Or <your server>.heliohost.org

Edit: fixed port, confused the ssh port with FTP.

Cool, I donated a bit.

I just want more space is always good.

I shared on Mastodon in case people were interested.

I checked the code,

I have add a AGPL license to the HelioHost code, the ownership has been delegated to HelioHost.

A Code of conduct has also been added.

The summary is that any modifications to the code must be published publicly and indicated that it is modified.

The code of conduct is self explanatory.

I have edited the releases to be more rational.

We will be staying on 1.x for now (it doesn't change unless it breaks stuff.)

Major releases like the CSS rebuild is a major release

Minor releases are bug fix patches.

Or a non profit like deflect.ca.

However, they have a higher standard expected of your site. Mentioned in the ToS and EULA.

Er. Sure.

This is my website: https://www.miwilc.com

It is built with Hugo with a custom modified theme.

DNS & CDN is hosted by cloudflare.

It's a ffmpeg joke about processing /transcoding times.

It basically requires a lot of processing power. And video files (which ffmpeg is used for) are quite large.

My video project took 3 hours to transcode with ffmpeg as the backend. (And ffmpeg was the fastest.)

It was a 15minute video..

@Krydos its doubtful if users need ffmpeg. It can be installed locally easily.
