pihole docker with docker-compose in my LAN

Hey, just a heads-up that this content is based on an automatically imported version from our old CMS. If the formatting isn’t perfect, I’m sorry about that. Recently I moved from my old PI3B to an Intel NUC i3 as my “Home Server”. It has enough power to run all my local services and is still not wasteful in terms of power consumption and space requirement like a “real” Server, and it is fanless. ...

letsencrypt auto NGINX reload on renew, doing it right...

Hey, just a heads-up that this content is based on an automatically imported version from our old CMS. If the formatting isn’t perfect, I’m sorry about that. If you run Letsencrypt SSL Certs on your servers and use certbot you probably know what I’m talking about. In the past I had it several times that the cert itself was renewed but the webserver, for whatever readon, didn’t reload. Causing the website to report a expired certificate, even it’s not. As soon as I did a manual NGINX Reload it workend. ...

A SIP Honeypot Blacklist

Hey, just a heads-up that this content is based on an automatically imported version from our old CMS. If the formatting isn’t perfect, I’m sorry about that. TL;DR HoneySIP is a SIP Honeypot Blacklist for use in Firewalls to Block SIP Crawlers and Bruteforcer. All IPs coming from own SIP Validating Honeypots at several servers. If you run a Server accessible over the Internet you will quickly find a lot of “interested” Eyes on it, especially if it is a VoIP System using SIP on default udp/5060. In an Ideal World this system would never be exposed to the Internet – but if you have a PBX which need to be accessible by a lot of remote workers and know how critical SIP/RTP can be you want to avoid forcing SIP over VPN. ...

$this->DomainName got Changed

Hey, just a heads-up that this content is based on an automatically imported version from our old CMS. If the formatting isn’t perfect, I’m sorry about that. There are several reasons, the most important one is that my old domain got some big hit and “Negative” Backlinks over the many past years. The old Domain solariz.de was registered more then 20 Years ago, in this Time I did a lot of changes on the Domain, CMS, files I hosted and so on. Those gave me a lot of different Backlinks from all over the World – you might think Backlinks are a great thing. ...

pfsense xinetd on rampage: readjusting service

Hey, just a heads-up that this content is based on an automatically imported version from our old CMS. If the formatting isn’t perfect, I’m sorry about that. Cause I’m not „blogging“ regularly on this page I just want to post more things in a “Today I learned” fashion. Specially if you work on/at Events and IT there are a lot of things which leave you puzzled questioning thing and forcing you to find solutions “RIGHT NOW”. While others in normal IT Ops have time to test things, Event-IT things are often MacGyver jobs. Working on a remote unknown site with other people’s IT Infrastructure and take what you get, at the end nobody cares – it need to work. ...

Preventive blocking of bad IPs using iptables

Hey, just a heads-up that this content is based on an automatically imported version from our old CMS. If the formatting isn’t perfect, I’m sorry about that. Whoever works with Linux servers on the web knows it, logs filled with attempted accesses, bruteforcers or simply spambots. Fortunately, there are some sites that have specialized in collecting these “bad IPs” via honeypots or logging reports. ...

ssh:// Protocol Link Handler Win10 and Mobaxterm

Hey, just a heads-up that this content is based on an automatically imported version from our old CMS. If the formatting isn’t perfect, I’m sorry about that. Just as a note to myself or anybody who is interested in it, feel free to use. Often you come across hrefs linking to ssh://user@whatever:22. By default, Windows does not know what to do with this protocol. If you go to select the standard protocol handler for it, you only get redirected to the MS Store, offering you some expensive terminal apps you actually do not want to use. I, for myself, have been using the Pro version of MobaXterm for many years. MobaXterm has shell integration, but I never got it running right or being selectable as a protocol handler, unfortunately. But this is why I made this little method to actually make it working. ...

Hey, just a heads-up that this content is based on an automatically imported version from our old CMS. If the formatting isn’t perfect, I’m sorry about that. Thanks to the Unitymedia Expansion in Bochum I have a Gigabit connection for quite some time now. Unfortunately the previous router had some problems with it. Also the function of the router was not according to what I would like to see for myself. ...

Blackout a different NAT Error

Hey, just a heads-up that this content is based on an automatically imported version from our old CMS. If the formatting isn’t perfect, I’m sorry about that. Probably you already read that Message and landed here because of this: This lobby is not joinable. Players in the lobby may have different NAT types than yours, which can limit network features. COD BLACKOUT is another Call of Duty with a “interesting” Network Code. Different than BF the COD Series relies on P2P Matchmaking instead of Dedicated Servers. So because now Everybody is “a Server” this can cause some Trouble if you are behind a more or less restricted Internet Connection. Specially Campus or Company connects share one broadband Line to many users. Unlike normal home users, you have to be more economic with port ranges here. But also some Home Routers use more restrictive types of NAT (Network Adresse Translation). ...
