MrLabCoat··on Whatever happened to fired Covid-19 data manager Rebekah Jones?
Warning: site hijacks your back button on mobile.

If a company has to hijack my browser buttons to stay, I refuse to read or support them.

MrLabCoat··on Linus Torvalds: 'I Do No Coding Any More'
Yeah you have to hold the back button in safari and choose the last page of you don’t open in a new window. I hate sites that jack your back button like that. Normally they end up blocked in my Pi-hole. Reason they do that: bad coders using cut and paste code or a framework they don’t understand and think it will help users navigate their site easier. Had a teacher go off on how this practice should be illegal like un-closable pop ups.
MrLabCoat··on Persistant SSH Threats?
I do something similar but added a knock daemon and changed the default ssh port 22 to something else.

So far I haven’t had any issues, fail2ban works, and it seems safe.

I do have my home IP added to the whitelist and others set to drop.

I was told in a networking class this is the second best way to protect ssh other than not running ssh.

Any thoughts on this setup as well? Maybe oversights that I’m not seeing?

MrLabCoat··on How to run your own mail server (2017)
https://support.google.com/mail/answer/6227174?hl=en

I added my domain and have never had it marked as spam at any major email provider, only a few small, self-hosted servers and that was probably due to misconfiguration or high spam sensitivity. See if this might help you out.

MrLabCoat··on Are Microsoft Containers worth learning?
Thank you very much for the links! Will be taking a look into it. It seems fairly simple to setup and mess around with. I'm more familiar with Docker, never heard of Containers till a few days ago :D
