Thinking of adding some LED strips to the Antec LanBoy Air case I was just posting about.

I'd love a soft orange glow inside — something to match the case (industrial feel) and perhaps even react to CPU or system activity.

Has anyone done this on a headless setup before?

• USB-powered?
• Molex/SATA LED strips?
• Zigbee/HA integration?

Would love your ideas — trying to keep it functional and cool, but not too RGBy 😂

After years of running caseless on the floor and in the cabinet , my Ubuntu headless server finally got a proper home… and not just any case — the iconic and almost retro by now - Antec LanBoy Air 🖤💛

And what an absolute modular madness that case is!

Full build thread coming tomorrow, after I get some sleep ☺️💤

🚀 Just turned a 2009 netbook into my first personal VPS 🤟
Running Ubuntu Server with a custom-injected minimalist environment: BashCore.
SSH-ready, VPN-blinded, low-resource, 100% under my control.
No cloud. No noise. Just clean command line power.

🖥️ Specs:
• Atom CPU, 2GB RAM 🥹
• 160GB HDD
• Ubuntu Server + NordVPN
• Injected BashCore tools
• Accessed from Windows via terminal

✅ Final #injector tests completed on Debian XFCE. Everything works perfectly.

💭 I considered testing on Ubuntu Desktop... but honestly, who would use that heavy beast for pentesting or serious study? Nah.

💉 BashCore Injector successfully deployed on my old 2009 laptop running Ubuntu Server. It brought the machine back to life. Now it's insanely useful instead of collecting dust. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Установка и настройка принт-сервера CUPS на Ubuntu-сервере

Для начала необходимо установить пакет CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System), который служит для управления принтерами и заданиями на печать. Выполните следующие команды в терминале: sudo apt update - обновляем список доступных пакетов. sudo apt install cups -y - устанавливаем CUPS без запроса подтверждения. sudo systemctl start cups - запускаем CUPS-сервис. sudo systemctl enable cups - добавляем CUPS в автозагрузку.

Ayer estuve tratando de instalar #UbuntuServer #Devuan y #Debian en una maquina i386 para usarla como servidor pero me estuvieron apareciendo errores.

El error me aparece cuando trato de instalar #Docker con el manifiesto.

Lo que he encontrado, es que al parecer con máquinas 64 bits no debería aparecer esto.

Mi máquina puede soportar amd64, así que hoy lo intentaré así.

Okay this is wild: I just noticed that changing 'PasswordAuthentication' to 'no' in /etc/ssh/sshd_config is no longer enough to disable password authentication in . That's because Ubuntu Server now by default creates a sshd_config.d/50-cloud-init.conf file which contains 'PasswordAuthentication yes' which takes priority over sshd_config.

I would've unknowingly left password auth on if I hadn't double checked.

Why?

Ask UbuntuWhy is "50-cloud-init.conf" created?I was setting up an ubuntu server and, like 99% of all people, one of the first things I do is to disable password authentication in favor of keys. On other distros and in other times this is done by

Lo que me ha costado configurar Django en modo producción hostia....

Es la primera vez que lo he hecho y la verdad se aprenden cositas
1 Django debe tener el Debug = False
Al poner esto en falso Django ya no sirve archivos estáticos (Css,JS,Imagenes) de eso se encarga el servidor web de turno (Esto yo no tenía ni idea) y necesitas hacer un collectstatic que si no django se rie en tu cara :/

2 He tenido que descubrir Gunicorn y ensuciarme las manos con NGINX y también es la primera vez que toco NGINX a mi me enseñaron Apache (Poco todo sea dicho, solo un HTML estático)

3 He tenido que configurar Systemd para que me arranque Gunicorn y decirle a NGINX que me arranque gunicorn o algo así no se T_T y hacer un enlace simbólico...
Ahora entiendo mejor systemclt XD

Как настроить BIND в качестве вторичного DNS-сервера для панели ispmanager

Панель ispmanager — по умолчанию первичный сервер имен, даже если ее записи никуда не транслируются. Если включить опцию «Сервер имен», то для каждого домена нужно создать мастер-зону. Часто администраторы серверов направляют NS-записи купленных доменов на свои сервера с панелью, чтобы записи автоматически пробрасывались во внешний мир. Но это не всем подходит — иногда NS-записи направляют на сторонний сервер имен или настраивают дублирующий, чтобы сайт остался доступным, если с мастер-сервером что-то случится. В этих ситуациях придется настраивать BIND в качестве вторичного сервера имен. В статье разберем, как это сделать на примере операционных систем AlmaLinux 8 и Ubuntu 22.04. Читать
