Have you checked to see if it was installing updates?

@IRJ said in How to configure automatic updates on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS:

Scripted a bit for anyone interested

FWIW, this line didn't work for me --

sed -i '/Unattended-Upgrade::Skip-Updates-On-Metered-Connections "true"/a\\        "${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-updates";
' /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades

I believe this is due to the line being inserted outside the Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins grouping.

Anyone used Jellyfin?

Was just looking at it a few minutes ago.

@hobbit666 Just started this whole process yesterday. I setup a VM with Plex server and I'm using my NAS to store the media.

Based on recommendations from a separate thread, I'm using MakeMKV to rip the DVD content. I haven't taken any steps to change format, compression, etc. Currently I've got 19 movies taking up 97GB

There is no working 5G equipment allowed to be sold in the US

Why not? Import restrictions?

Recommended solution is to use a VPN -- https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/vpn/overview/

Look under Tools > Network. Chances are you'll see a bunch of IP addresses that don't belong to you, which would indicate that others are accessing your pi-hole.

Where are you hosting this? What measures have you taken to restrict access?

What do you anticipate your monthly cost to be with RC?

@JasGot said in Sending Secure E-Mail?:

He, like me, has used systems that "appear" to provide a little more protection. ie; when my broker wants me to see a document, I get an e-mail that takes me to a web port. Once I log in, I can view the document.

I have a need for such a system. Recommendations anyone?

@RojoLoco Some of those look like the chalk outlines of a dead body. Perhaps that was their inspiration when designing these.

A vulnerability in the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) that could have allowed cyber-criminals to gain full control of server operations has been detected

Wondering when a mod is going to take care of the latest round of spammers.

Can the torrent be downloaded without additional tools? Remember, script is designed to run from within Dom0 of CH / XCP-ng, so it isn't recommended to install a bunch of extra stuff.

I noticed an issue with DNS not working correctly about 15mins ago. Seems to be better ATM.
