  • Years ago I had a registrar go tits up without warning, taking about 70-80 active domains for an MSP’s customers with it. I managed their email servers and DNS, which was with the registar, of course. It was a bloody nightmare to recover that situation. Because we couldn’t supply them a DNS change to prove our control of the DNS, hence ownership of the domain, we had to individually affadavit each domain. Took weeks.

    I get you don’t think it’s important, but there’s plenty of sysadmins that do, with experience backing that up.






  • Blue Iris and any ONVIF compatible camera. BI has a phone app for Android and iphone that you can integrate via ngrok if you have CGNAT internet and can’t open a port directly.

    It’s a little bit of money (license is cheaper via Amcrest website) and you have to run it on Windows. I use Dockurr/Windows and run it in a KVM-based docker container on a couple sites.

    Very easy to set up, has motion/shape detection built in, bulletproof, features until hell won’t have it, and works with a plethora of cameras.

    So I just had a laptop with 41 on pre-6.3 Plasma, and I could RDP into it fine. I updated and could no longer RDP in. I didn’t see a process in htop for /usr/bin/krdpserver when I turned it on-off-on-off-on in Settings-Remote Desktop. So I move the video quality slider and it says it needs to restart the server, so I do that, and now I see it in htop and can rdp in.

    I try it the other direction, no go. Try the same trick and while it has a server running now in htop, I just get a black screen on connection from the first computer. So I down the one in Settings, and just run /usr/bin/krdpserver from a terminal. That helps me figure out that it’s upset about my multimonitor setup now. So I run krdpserver -u ikidd -p 1111 --monitor 3 --quality 100 and then it connects, though only to the single monitor I specify, of course.

    I’m also using the commandline xfreerdp directly instead of the KRDC wrapper. I don’t have a lot of trust in that wrapper. My typical commandline is something like xfreerdp /v:192.168.8.131 /u:ikidd /p:"1111" /dynamic-resolution +clipboard /cert:ignore /console /size:1920x1080

    Hopefully that gives you something to work with. You can also check https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?component=general&product=KRdp&resolution=---
