    Linux TFS 0.4 A CUSTOM SERVER , COMPILING LINUX Ubuntu 18.04

    Did you read the error? Because it tells you what's wrong. And did you try to google the error? If you did, please don't just copy the whole error... google the important part of it and the error code. Though this isn't a compiling error at all... This is gonna help...

    Linux Stupid locked www folder? (Permission Denied)

    Disabling the root user, or actually the root login, is a default precaution on Linux systems. However adding a new sudo user first is essential of course, but from what I understood, he did that. There is no reason to add a new root user, then might as well enable the actual one again. What...

    TFS 1.X+ [MYSQL] Connection going to localhost

    For starters this, again, is a question the internet and google can answer for you pretty quickly. https://otland.net/threads/magical-tutorial-on-how-to-fix-any-error.271037/ Have fun reading that. Now to your problem. You apparently set your public IP to be your MySQL IP right? By default a...

    WHAT is a DNS and HOW that will help you

    You are simplifying the whole topic a bit much. But let me say the most important things first: @pink_panther is right, it's not really going to help you or the latency and after all it's just 1 short request. It's not like the client needs to resolve the domain every second. And as you said...

    Magical tutorial on how to fix any error

    Below you will find an instruction on how to fix 99% of the issues and errors posted on this forum. Not even clickbait. And not even a video.

    [Germany/USA] [7.4] RetroCores [8/11 - 18:00 CET]

    That's the wrong approach of seeing it. Do you even know how many people work voluntarily for huge projects? Voluntary helpers or organizers aren't just some kids or students who help out in a clinic. There is so much more to that. I myself spend on average 10-15 hours a week on voluntary work...

    [Germany/USA] [7.4] RetroCores [8/11 - 18:00 CET]

    Well, first of all, I don't agree with you saying you had no choice other than releasing the reasons behind his dismissal. You always have a choice. And I strongly disagree with the way you did it. Personal and private conversations are NEVER to be published. Anyhow, this certainly shows that...

    [Germany/USA] [7.4] RetroCores [8/11 - 18:00 CET]

    Well, I cannot say if this is true or not. I do not have the information and facts needed to assess this, but let's say it was true. That would be a perfect example to show that our community is not about fun and learning anymore. I know everyone has been hating about this for years now already...

    [Germany] [8.60] Mirage | v2 | PVP-E | Ustrike | Sunday 22th Dec 13:00 GMT+2

    It's again one of these servers where I personally play for a few hours, then I get bored and quit. All it is is grinding for 100 levels, then a quest, then back to grinding for another 100 levels, ... The PK is dumb since there is no punishment at all. No red skull and the PZ Lock is only 1min...

    a guy made himself god and everyone else in my server aswell

    Well you can google how to change any of these things. There are very good tutorials for it out there already. Not gonna write one now, sorry :p The first thing you need to do is change all your passwords. Use random passwords, at least 15 characters long with upper, lower letters as well as...

    a guy made himself god and everyone else in my server aswell

    Wrong. By default, any users can only be accessed locally. But PHPMyAdmin uses the user login from the local server but then it displays everything via your webserver. That's the very reason why I don't recommend it. Use the command line instead :) PhpMyAdmin is the most likely way someone got...

    How to encrypt your website traffic - Free SSL Cert

    Thanks Yeah pink_panther already said the same thing. Though generating the certificate is the easiest part of the "technical stuff" of including the certificate. You still got to configure your webserver accordingly. But as I already said, in my opinion you need to learn how to deal with the...

    How to encrypt your website traffic - Free SSL Cert

    of course you can. It's the same principle though some of the parameter names might be different. But google will show you the equivalent of each parameter like ssl_ciphers in nginx would be SSLCipherSuite in apache I belive. I always recommend nginx, but if you chose apache already you can do...

    Ddos RETROCORES

    Don't belive everything you hear. They got one that's just as good as the one from many other hosting services. But there are many different kinds of DDoS attacks. The most common ones are easy to block. You know those kiddy scripting ones. And fun fact: retrocores is with OVH.... I see alot...

    How to encrypt your website traffic - Free SSL Cert

    Well I didn't read it that well :D I just assumed they would only use API to issue a certificate for you, which now thinking about it, wouldn't make alot of sense or be possible that easily. That's literally what I said. So yeah maybe it is a nice alternative for people who don't know their...

    How to encrypt your website traffic - Free SSL Cert

    Could do that, but that also means that this random website now has access to your private key and could technically read all your traffic. I don't know. I wouldn't trust them. I'd rather do it myself. It's really easy to do. The only a bit more complicated thing is editing your webserver the...

    How to encrypt your website traffic - Free SSL Cert

    Look at your PMs. I'll help you solve this in private messages :) @Klonera Yeah it wasn't a recommendation, I just said it doesn't matter for this kind of file and would solve it for sure without knowing the exact origin of the issue.

    How to encrypt your website traffic - Free SSL Cert

    do sudo chown www-data:www-data /etc/nginx/dhparam.pem sudo chmod 511 /etc/nginx/dhparam.pem Though this shouldn't happen anyways, because the mother instance of nginx is being run by root and the children (workers) only by nginx But you can set the permissions to 777 (sudo chmod 777...

    DDoS still major problem? Protection? Tell your experience

    I have never used any of those no. I rather had something I could configure individually and detailed to my needs. Nagios is definetely a good choice for monitoring. I personally looked at Nagios and Zabbix but in the end decided to use Zabbix. I don't remember the reasons to be honest. But I'm...
