@voltist we dont block anything really. i think we only have 3 instances we block do to spamming.

Folks I don't know how many of you know Greg @G_Dog1985 he has been a essential part of LR since the beginning and is still the person who does all the maintenance to the server to keep us updated and secure.

He has unfortunately fell on some difficult times. He has had cancer for sometime and his grandpa is also ill and cannot work leaving it all on the shoulders of his mother to support the house. If you have any pocket change to share here is a good cause

Thanks for you all that help purchase the new UPS!

Well it looks like https://www.linuxjournal.com is shutdown.

@kezzbracey I have confirmed your account you should be able to login.

The issue is the mail server does not have reversals and a handful of mail servers reject mail without reversals. I am still trying to get my upstream to pass is to my DNS. The only solution I have for you at the moment to receive mail is to forward it through another account like gmail.

@OpenComputeDesign Human nature he lives in his world and does not grasp the other. Me as a dad wanted my son to go into computers however he decided to go military then want go go into police.

@OpenComputeDesign Computers of some form will always be around but with that said it is a great idea to work on other skills. I have done temporary work in many industries from electrician to plumber, carpenter and mechanic and more. Skills always come in handy especially when owning your own home. I am also a maker and love building the random weird object. Hints why I build my own 3D printer. So therefor there is some wisdom in your dad's advice

@nergal @linuxjournal To be honest I have been in IT 20+ years and from my view the buzz words is more of a recent advent as IT has became more mainstream. When I first started we use to call things what they did. Now we have words like cloud which really has no meaning other than other peoples hardware. Those are what I consider buzz words.

@OpenComputeDesign I stay away from cheap discount parts. Past that most hardware will pretty much last as long as cooling it sufficient.

I think I maybe jumping the gun on root cause
