  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.
  16. 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. See https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business
  17. @cheapzid you should contact your registrar about changing NS records. HelioHost can't help here, sorry.
  18. 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..
  19. @Krydos Node causes quite high loads and most apps require custom open ports, are you sure this can be done safely?
  20. 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.
  21. Cool, I donated a bit. I just want more space is always good. I shared on Mastodon in case people were interested.
  22. 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.
  23. Or a non profit like deflect.ca. However, they have a higher standard expected of your site. Mentioned in the ToS and EULA.

    Websites

    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.
  25. 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.
