You can get them to lift the block per-node by submitting a support ticket, it was pretty easy for me to do when I was still on Linode. -- Cara

Re: [EXT] Looking for a good VPS provider

I realize this is resolved, but I'll (semi-selfishly) send out two more quick things: For one, if any of y'all wanted to try any others - or maybe you have some jobs you'd like to offload to the cloud temporarily, here's some more free credits: https://www.linode.com/lan (from "Linux Action News" - $100 on Linode) As a side-note (if you care) Linode is an Akamai company now (has been for several months IIRC). And this is where I get selfish - this here is a personal one - I haven't heard any ads for DigitalOcean. for a while: https://m.do.co/c/305f9963f488 - $200 (I think you have to use within 60 days) If you do use D.O., opt for the Premium AMD systems - they are much faster. Secondly: in re: Linode being blocked for email, I'm finding it hard to verify this (and in fact, I see evidence to the contrary). Are you certain that your mail server is not listed on any blacklists? If you are getting an "AUP#In-1000" this would indicate a UCE listing. You can try the community forums to get more information about the issue. Otherwise, you can also use e.g. MailGun (not so cheap) or SendGrid (has free tiers) as your outbound SMTP server. I've had to do this on a number of occasions, and they also have API for hooking up e.g. Drupal mail, etc. Regards, Chris On 12/8/22 12:11, Chris (wolcen) Thompson via WLUG wrote: > Here's $150 for Vultr :-) > > https://www.vultr.com/promo/try150?promo=150OFFER30&utm_source=TechLinked&u… > > > _______________________________________________ > WLUG mailing list -- wlug(a)lists.wlug.org > To unsubscribe send an email to wlug-leave(a)lists.wlug.org > Create Account: https://wlug.mailman3.com/accounts/signup/ > Change Settings: > https://wlug.mailman3.com/postorius/lists/wlug.lists.wlug.org/ > Web Forum/Archive: > https://wlug.mailman3.com/hyperkitty/list/wlug@lists.wlug.org/message/ORTSH…

Thanks Chris! This plus the $10 they want up front should get me going for testing purposes for a year at least! John

Re: Last meeting mention of connecting to DISPLAY :0

by Chris (wolcen) Thompson

Good catch, John - I should have mentioned that! (I do keep my monitors off as well). Yes - given I'm on i3, I do a `DISPLAY=:0 i3lock &` and a simple Ctrl+C is good for killing the x0vncserver started in the SSH shell. Thanks for pointing out those very important caveats.
