Welcome Alex.

I'm not fully sure this is what you're looking for, but Grafana Cloud is free up to 50GB of logs per month. https://grafana.com/products/cloud/ You can just configure a log shipper like promtail to push the logs to Grafana Cloud. We use this for both our Kubernetes clusters and regular...

@blunix you will have to explain to me how OpenSMTPd is superior to postfix and primarily how it's more secure. (the primary reason to use postfix) I'm not saying OpenSMTPd is not better, I've personally never used it, but you say that it's far easier which struck me as odd. That's likely...

Thanks for this. I will take a good read at it when I have a moment. I will say this. If you run Kubernetes, there isn't any product like SUSE's NeuVector Kubernetes Security Platform around. (That I've ever seen anyhow) It's like when the world moved from Anti-Virus to EDR solutions...

Honestly, there are humans developing these operating systems. Not only can humans' make mistakes, but they can also have "agendas" as happened here with this planned out scheme with xz. So, by default. The answer is most definitely, yes. Look at pfsense and when pfsense paid ugh, what...

lol. Do you have a compressed kernel installed on your Linux system? Of course you do. There is a good damn chance that xz compressed it and xz was on your system when this occurred. Besides, you do realize xz is a secondary utility used by many tools that you likely have installed on your...

I get many of the irks of Systemd, but I will say this. To move forward, sometimes you first must take a step back. Systemd set the ground work for many things to move forward. Sure, I've long used SysV and it worked really well, but it had real limitations to it also. Systemd does a lot to...

ext4 or xfs

When I was young and always trying and testing and learning. It could be every 3-6 months, sometimes daily. Today, something better be really messed up before I go that direction. I'm 50+ and a family and a job that consumes quite a bit more than 40 hours a week. Not to mention I'm an...

I just had a similar issue. Specifically. I have a ICOM IC-7610 (ham radio) that runs on Windows, but I added 128GB of memory and installed Linux on it so I could make it a home lab. Naturally, I still want to run Ham Radio Deluxe which is a windows app so I installed KVM and installed...

Hi, I had a bit of difficulty understanding your question as the post was quite long and talked about several different things. By inode attack, what do you mean? You noted the Support staff at your hosting provided said it was a misconfiguration of mod_sec (Web Application Firewall) that...

I'm not a JS programmer, but I took a look and there is a lot of syntax and structural errors in your code which make it quite difficult to read / interpret correctly. I would highly suggest learning the syntax and structural basics before attempting to do more advanced tasks as it will make...

I've guessing their native language is not English. They are pretty hard to decipher. Especially with one word or short broken sentence responses.

Nice write up. I used to really hate NetworkManager. The first thing I did was disable it. Though that is quickly becoming not an option these days. I'm learning to deal with and accept this fact lol. I do appreciate the fact that I can update settings via ssh and not get disconnect...

To hell with that. Linux guys are 100% DIY! Get your prio's straight! :P

I recommend Linux from Scratch because pain and suffering. ;) Or if you do need something super easy. Go with Slackware. :D

I'm not sure if I fully understand your question and @wendy-lebaron has a good answer. I would only add that based on your "huge ocean of letters and symbols", that yes you can make ASCII art that you can zoom into if the quantity of characters to perspective is sufficiently large. Each...

I used to only update occasionally even if I wasn't having any issues. Though really. These days, people are getting smarter and looking for a quick buck. What's worse, is they used to specifically target people. Today, that is no longer necessary. Their attacks are more like a disease...

I still use backticks occasionally. Mainly out of sheer habit from all the years using them, but I agree. The new syntax is superior and should be used due to it's more robust nature when building these types of operations. Though a quick backtick to variablize something is quick and simple...

We use Postfix as an internal mail relay on our network for our servers. They all just forward mail to it, and it sends it securely. It's very simple, though it's a server now but we are looking to containerize and toss it on our kubernetes cluster very soon. Glad to hear you're good to go...
