A boring day. The main horrah was the alien calling an astronaut fully retarded. Not even partly.

the alien’s son tells dear leader to shush. I’m sure there were horrahs too.

Babylon Berlin
Babylon Berlin – proto goth music Bauhaus could relate to in a show about Trotskyites being killed by Stalinites in late 20s Berlin before, presumably as we haven’t gotten that far but knowing how it goes, the Nazis take over. All in a police drama with people trying to keep the Weimar Republic together. Now that’s historical based drama!
Definitely recommend it!

Interesting COVID-19 article
This article is too interesting so saving here. Good to know the risks even if it is a little old

COVID-19
This is just one comparison of of deaths year over year as well as official noted COVID-19 deaths. Seems ok to skeptical all COVID-19 related deaths are truly being counted as such. Very easy to say it was a stroke that caused the death but ignore COVID-19 caused the stroke. Looking at year over year data this year does have significantly more deaths per month beginning when this started.
Easy with DigitalOcean instructions here:

I just did what was documented here but added in case they go away ever.
1 – get the installed packages
dpkg -l | grep php | tee packages.txt2 – get php 7
sudo apt install php7.3 php7.3-common php7.3-cli
3 – get the rest of the packages that you got in step 1
4 – uninstall php5
sudo apt-get purge php5*
5 – if you have fpm for web serving point all the things that used to point to
/var/run/php5-fpm.sock
to
/var/run/php/php7-fpm.sock
To block ads using Squid is simple.
Get the list of ad urls:
## get new ad server list
curl -sS -L --compressed "http://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/serverlist.php?hostformat=nohtml&showintro=0&mimetype=plaintext" > /etc/squid/ad_block.txt
Then add this to squid.conf to reference the file and block the urls:
## disable ads ( http://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/ )
acl ads dstdom_regex "/etc/squid/ad_block.txt"
http_access deny ads
#deny_info TCP_RESET ads
Then, for Mac Ports at least, do this:
sudo port reload squid4
Or for a recent Linux it’d be something like:
sudo service squid4 restart
This may not make much sense to others but it’s all the things for setting up Exim4 in Debian that weren’t obvious.
- Add all the names and ip address to /etc/hosts
- Add ip address to exim4 files. Copy the other things added from the old server..
- Edit just the main folder after doing the exim4 dpkg
- Update /etc/letsencrypt to allow execute on /etc/letsencrypts/archive and live to get rid of the /var/log/exim4/mainlog pem related errors
- Remember the sasl stuff from Debian’s exim4 setup to let the user login.
