Yeah you have to hold the back button in safari and choose the last page of you don’t open in a new window. I hate sites that jack your back button like that. Normally they end up blocked in my Pi-hole. Reason they do that: bad coders using cut and paste code or a framework they don’t understand and think it will help users navigate their site easier. Had a teacher go off on how this practice should be illegal like un-closable pop ups.
Re:Persistant SSH Threats? on Thursday January 23, 2020 @01:32PM (#22130250)
I do something similar but added a knock daemon and changed the default ssh port 22 to something else.

So far I haven’t had any issues, fail2ban works, and it seems safe.

I do have my home IP added to the whitelist and others set to drop.

I was told in a networking class this is the second best way to protect ssh other than not running ssh.

Any thoughts on this setup as well? Maybe oversights that I’m not seeing?

I added my domain and have never had it marked as spam at any major email provider, only a few small, self-hosted servers and that was probably due to misconfiguration or high spam sensitivity. See if this might help you out.

Re:Are Microsoft Containers worth learning? on Saturday September 17, 2016 @05:17AM (#12519801)
Thank you very much for the links! Will be taking a look into it. It seems fairly simple to setup and mess around with. I'm more familiar with Docker, never heard of Containers till a few days ago :D

Are Microsoft Containers worth learning?

Quick question: should I bother to learn the Containers service in Microsoft Windows/Server, or is it safe to assume that Docker (and similar programs out there) are going to be the best way to go as far as learning and running in a small homelab?Thank you for your honest opinions and helping a fellow geek progress :D
