Legit email from Psychz Networks, but not so impressive. It says I discontinued some service and they want me back (didn't happen).
The email goes on to say I should simply reply to the email with server specs you want to try and they'll set it up., signed "Best Regards, Sales Person". Oh PHPMailer...

Why doesn’t logrotate work on Ubuntu?
#Sysadminnery
(half-serious... I support 1 Ubuntu 20 LTS machine with a high-abuse web server and periodically need to run logrotate -F /etc/logrotate.d/apache2 by hand because it really doesn't work… I’m likely to figurer it out... )

Not surprised. I found stuff that looked great. I am fairly experienced at baking and part of them didn't turn out. Going over them afterwards I should have clued in on the temperatures for the candies. I have made fudges and candies for decades and thought maybe they knew something that I didn't. They turned out to be almost as runny as cold syrup and will be used as a topping for fruit cake with ice cream.

• Auto Encrypt 5.1.0: Moves automatic IP address detection from top-level await to asynchronous createServer() method to enable servers that import to run offline when they’re running on localhost) and exports IPAddresses class so servers can carry out their own automatic IP address detection (IPv4 and IPv6) if they want full control over exactly which domains and IP addresses are included in provisioned TLS certificates.¹

The standalone Proxmox server is basically done at this point, all three DNS servers are online and secure, the Tailscale VM is online after completely forgetting that it was running on one of the Raspberry Pis, and the `authentik` instance that I'm gonna need to work on tomorrow.

@… Hey, it is me again 😅
Just to let you know that I receive some 400 Bad Request errors from some DoH servers (dns.quad9.net and ns0.fdn.fr for instance) while some others accept my queries (dns.google and Cloudflare 1.1.1.1).
I am not sure yet if the error is on my use of the library or within the library itself.
Here is the code to run the query:

Started migrating services off of the RPis and onto the new #Proxmox server. The initial install went fairly smoothly, got the VLANs configured, and then setup the new primary DNS server. That took longer than it should have, but I will say this: the VM is so much more snappy than the Pi. Next up is the secondary DNS server.

THIS IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE!
I think the SFTP server is down again. Expected files not in our INBOX and it happens on a semi-regular basis and usually after a weekend.
On my Linux box I had a very simple CHRON setup to run a specific BASH script. On my work WIN11 machine I have automated running a specific program every Monday morning checking for a specific item.
It should be trivial to do the same on the servers instead of buying software to verify that the servers are w…
