    About configuring dual routers

    I don't know how far down a rabbit hole you want to go but one way to create the DMZ you are looking for is to use an old pc with a couple of nic's and load up pfsense. You can isolate the network segment with the suspect hardware to your hearts content. This would eliminate the need for a...

    Password lost in install in VMBox. Need to reset, how?

    One thing you could consider if this is a vm you set up to only play games you can reinstall but as you go through the setup screens you can set up user to login without entering credentials. Not secure but if all you are protecting is your solitare game the risk is acceptable... Good luck

    Which Linux firewall do you use?

    I guess it depends on what you expect from firewalling. To me things like UFW provide access control but does not provide the protection of a firewall. Even free things such as PFsense or Opensense provide other levels of protection. You can implement subscription lists and applications...

    About configuring dual routers

    You are right You don't need to use a different mask. The point is that if you have two boxes serving dhcp and you have the misfortune that they use the same subnet ex router 1 192.168.1.0 also uses router 2 192.168.1.0 this will cause a malfunction if you are trying to make an inbound...

    About configuring dual routers

    This would work for outbound initiated connections. As mentioned in an earlier post you will want to pay attention to make sure each router is set up with a different subnet in dhcp configuration. If you wish to reach the devices on the other segment from the outside you need a routing table to...

    About configuring dual routers

    To make that work you would need to either add static routes or a routing protocol. Ideally if you could run rip on both boxes you would be able to communicate. Without those kinds of configuration inbound traffic will never find its way to the second router hanging off the first

    CachyOS

    I did and install and quick run through. Looks ok. Installed easily. Doesn't come loaded up with a bunch of junk. May have to look at it a bit further

    CachyOS

    Does anyone have any experience with this? I will probably spin up a VM and kick the tires. Just wondering if it was worth the time

    I just tested googles version of A.I. gemini. I asked it to write three different bash scripts. Although it came close not one of them would run without modification. I am not a good coder but it appears I can outperform Google. I think the earth is safe from an A.I takeover..... :)

    libre office calc

    Its a drop down on lower right side of the save as dialog. I did a couple minutes of experimentation. You could try mousing over the edge of the save as box until you get the double arrow. Holding your left mouse button down you should be able to shrink the box until you are able to see the...

    network name resolution loop?

    well that was fast. First article I read showed me how to use a usb to restore via timeshift. Assuming that timeshift was installed before the failure and a snapshot taken you should be able to restore. look at the article(see link below) The relevant instructions are in the bottom half of...

    network name resolution loop?

    logs would be under /var/log . As far as timeshift. I don't know how you would do a restore from a live cd/usb. Will do a bit of research but maybe someone else here has done that

    network name resolution loop?

    I'm guessing you don't have ssh server running so what I was suggesting wont help. Did you make any modifications to your system before this started happening? You might be able to boot using installation CD or USB flash drive so you can look at your log..etc Maybe someone else here will have...

    network name resolution loop?

    Any chance you have ssh server running on this pc. Maybe you can just login via ip. I'm assuming that authentication is local. If you can get on the box you could do a bit more troubleshooting

    Floppies :)

    Flash drive is much faster and cheaper per byte. Replacing the Internet? The Internet isn't really just one thing. Under the hood its really a political and regulatory nightmare. Having used the Internet from close to the beginning it has changed in ways no one ever imagined. I suspect a...

    Floppies :)

    There are folks out there still using them. If you invested in a piece of equipment that is still functioning makes no sense to replace. I kept a floppy drive in a closet for years. Tossed it after not having been touched for a decade. I'm sure DVD's will follow. They are great to hang in...
