  2. Re: Apache config to proxy entire site with 1 exception

    For the first part, perhaps this would work:

    ProxyPass / http://www.example.com:80/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://www.example.com:80/

    For ACME, have you thought about using a DNS-based challenge...

    Re: Password and Login Screen

    Actually 12 character passwords are fine, provided they are truly random.

    There's about 90 characters available, at a length of 12, that's a password entropy of almost 80 bits.

  7. [ubuntu_studio] Re: What 22.04 Background Services are Safe to Disable + Login Screen Turns Black

    NVIDIA doesn't suck.

    I just built a high performance computer with an RTX 4090 graphics card.

    Ubuntu 24 worked out of the box without as much as needing to install one additional driver.

    Might want to check the cable connection, output of "lspci" and "sudo dmesg" as well.
  10. [ubuntu] Re: Dell Precision 5470 webcam not working

    What do you mean by not working? Are you using the app or the browser to access Zoom? You can try installing "Cheese" from the app center and see if that webcam program recognizes your hardware.

    After the crash, you can press Control-Alt-F1 through F7 to get a non-GUI login prompt to the system. Log in with your username and password, you'll get a terminal prompt, use it to check /var/log...
  12. [ubuntu_studio] Re: What 22.04 Background Services are Safe to Disable + Login Screen Turns Black

    Sorry, I mispoke, it's Control-Alt-F1 through F7. You may need to hold the Function (Fn) key on your keyboard to access the F keys.

    Tor has no idea what traffic you're sending, whether it's HTTP or HTTPS or something else. It's not "only for" anything - it's a low latency anonymizing network.

    And of course Tor handles DNS, if...

    What "websites"? There's a lot of FUDD lore out there, and this eminances a familiar odor.

    Use "sudo lsof -Pni" to see which processes are listening on those ports.

    Port 53 is most likely used by your local domain resolver agent. If you don't use cups, you can simply uninstall it with...
