Buddy Brown - Welfare Worker


It's people like those that described in this song that got us in this fucked up state. The problem with living off the system is that they have complete control of your life. You have no freedom. I realize freedom is something a lot of younger people don't value but there are still those of us who do. And that's only one problem. The other is, as Elon put it, "If nobody makes stuff then there is no stuff."

Eskimo North Changes


I’ve firewall rules to address recent SYN and UDP floods. So far they have had the intended effect.

I’ve installed a new shell server, anduinos.eskimo.com. This is a debian derived server similar to popOS except the default graphical environment is Gnome configured to look like Windows. Unfortunately this environment does not seem to work if using vnc or x2go, instead you just get default mate or gnome environments. Also at present, rdp protocol is not working on this new server, I've even gone so far as compiling xrdp from source, no help.

I’ve installed a new application called ‘qman‘ on all the shell servers. It is an alternative to man for reading manual pages. Unlike man, it provides an index of sections and then pages within those sections and also provides colored highlighting that makes reading manual pages a bit more pleasant.
