Wow works fine on Linux for me

Can’t argue with that. I’m glad you’ve found something that you enjoy.

Yeah, it’s always fun to find out that a standard looking util on osx actually requires weird args and syntax.

I subscribe to the arch news letter, and they email me about potentially breaking changes like 4 times a year. Usually I don’t have to do anything about them but it’s good to be aware of, just in case.

I stopped using grub after that pain in the ass

Encryption in transit even internally is a good practice. That said, op is making life hard by refusing to use DNS.

I feel like op is about to find out why businesses pay for cloud services.

You just described a load balancer. The router doesn’t know about DNS but clients using your service use DNS. You can do some simple load balancing behind DNS. If you want to do it by IP address you want a load balancer though.

If overcomplicating things is a concern for you, then just use let’s encrypt. Running your own ca is a pain in the ass and probably decreases security for most people due to the difficulty of doing it correctly.

I’d be interested in a community for commercial sysadmin type stuff, but the ones I’ve seen are all pretty dead. I am one of those people that work in the industry.

Who cares if it’s normal or not. You do you

I think vr is on it’s way out anyways

They’re making a KVM targeted at data centers that doesn’t support VGA?

I dunno, they pretty much all work the same for me.

Yeah, I couldn’t care less what language its written in

+1 hosting email sucks.

Just to cover the obvious:

1. Double check the cable is plugged in
2. Double check that you have a green light on the NIC

It has to be in the same subnet as your router.

Let’s Encrypt is just as secure as paid certs. They’re held to the same security standard.
