Boy THAT will work! Good idea government!
Very very aware.
So you had another mail server elsewhere that port forwarded port 25 via port 22 to your internal mail server’s port 25.
I take it that outside mail server was secure.
That’s an impressive setup.
Did you really only use it when you were home? If you used it outside the firewall then port 25 must have been open also.
I used to run my own server and this was in the early 90s. Then one day, perusing the logs I realized I was not smart enough on the security front to even attempt such a thing. It was quickly shut down and the MX record moved to an outsourced mail provider.
When you call the cops you’re calling people who can kill you with impunity and get a paid vacation for doing so. Just say no to calling the cops.
Yes I complete my census survey that seems like a valid function of government.
I do not register for a political party as I believe voting is an immoral act. I have no right to tell anyone how to live there life. If I were to vote for a candidate I would be indirectly telling others how they should live. If I were to vote for a ballot measure I would be directly telling others how they should live.
Someone recently challenged me on that stance and I’m revaluating it slightly. They asked if I would vote to restore a freedom that had been taken away. I haven’t fully wrestled with that yet, but I’m starting to think that I might should the situation occur.
It could well be.
I believe in not being surveilled by my government. That is a core belief. So you could say that yes I do believe in some things very deeply.
I think I might do anything that might prevent that from happening to me again.
Can you expect anything else given the current administration had her added to the Quiet Skies list?
My answer may not quite fit the topic. But I’ll share anyway.
In the late 20-teens, ZZ Top and John Fogerty we’re touring together. My wife and I saw them on the Jersey Shore (thanks VetTix!) and Fogerty opened the show and absolutely killed it. Then ZZ Top played and Billy Gibbons just didn’t have it anymore. We left early.
Several weeks later they played Jones Beach Amphitheatre and thanks to VetTix we got to go again. Once again Fogerty knocked it out of the park and Billy was just not up to snuff.
It was sad.
Interestingly, Billy Gibbons is featured on one of the tracks of Slash’s new album Orgy of the Damned. That track is the perfect fit for Gibbons and it holds together beautifully.
Hello ramble81, I am calling to check if your refrigerator is running… It is? Oh my goodness you better run faster and catch it!
What a lovely post. Thank you for sharing it.
I’m 60 years old, my father passed many years ago. I have still not come to grips with all the complexities of our relationship. My wife knows that if we ever see a film or TV show where a parent, but particularly a father shows any form of approval for something their son did, I will turn into a blubbering mess.
That said, more rational me knows that there were many ways in which my father was a good dad, if am willing to take the time to look for them.
I have three sons and a daughter, my greatest hope in life is that they won’t have the same issues with me as a father that I did with my own dad.
Thanks again for this amazing story about how even small things we do can have a great impact, and not necessarily on those we expect them to.

I really want to move my domain from Google to Proton, but family accounts at Proton are so dang expensive. Fastmail is far cheaper than Google, so that looks like it might be a really good option.
You do not need a college education to get a good job. The trades need good workers and they make pretty good money. Go down to a union hall and offer to be an apprentice at something. Build some of those skills you say you don’t have!
Does any anyone know the actual accusations? There’s no meat here just the allegation. How was his DD-214 altered? What service did he ascribe to himself? What awards. As the husband of a Soldier, these things are important.
Edit to add: they really need to update their stock photo, the Army hasn’t worn that uniform in years.
I’m 247.5 Oreo Cookies tall, that is many more Oreos than most, but not as many as some.
Thanks! My wife is a Soldier. We sometimes have interesting conversations about stuff like this.
Our government has completely lost its way. The Founders would be both appalled and ashamed.
Your worth, your value is not determined by what someone else makes.
Also, I’m a bit ignorant of this subject so forgive me if I get it wrong, but did he not go to school significantly longer for his MD than you did for yours?
I believe he also had to go through the hell that is residency, I didn’t believe nurses do.
If you’re envious of his salary, improve your skills, or your education. If you’re happy where you are at In life, then don’t let the fact that others make more than you interfere with that happiness.
No matter what you do, there will always be others who make more, one of those sad facts of life.
