Just got my once every 6 month CloudAtCost email. Somehow it always bypasses my spam filtering
I know that experience.
They were told specifically to cancel my account and delete it (I wasn't subscribed to any of their spam lists at the time either).All was good for several months, and then HELLO! the spam started arriving.
Unsubscribing does nothing, you have to login/change your preferences and completely change eveything in the account.
Use a random password generator for the email address...
Are they any good, their prices look cheap, what's the catch, apart from only having a CA based datacentre (long way from Oz).
I wouldn't call it a "data center", pretty sure it's like whitebox desktops in a garage. It's definitely nothing running on servers.

so i'm fiddling around with a ubuntu build on vultr, i'm no linux person.
I run up a simple machine, reset root password. logout & log back in using the new password, so i've confirmed the password is ok.
install lubuntu desktop coz I want a gui.
reboot, but I can longer log in, says password is incorrect. Tried this at least 4 times, meaning i've nuked the vm and started from scratch 4 times.
wednesday thursday friday (wtf).
what am i missing???

I bet you will find that the cli password still works. Its likely a GUI issue.

At one of our sites re-cabling the Unifi AP's, Also upgrading them to AC-LR's
why recabling?
Because we have no idea who cabled some of the cat5 stuff and the Access Points keep going offline.
So thought Re-cable new access points, then all should be good. -
Just heard the kids school went into full lockdown few hours ago, someone's been arrested. Something they posted on facebook about killing some "school kid"

I only wish it was that new.
I guess calling government software snowflake is kind of redundant.

down here, medical practices that need to access a govt medical service online have to run Java 2.x to access functionality within the govt web site. scary but true.
