I want to ask freelancers who have been working from home. We know how it’s risky situations day by day.
First due to AI, many people lost significant chunk of their website traffic, lost revenue, small player literally got out of the business.
Now there are only few handful of people who have shifted to Insta and YouTube, so this makes me wonder.
I’m self-hosting Vaultwarden in an LXC and trying to configure SMTP through an external provider.
Everything appears to work correctly:
DNS and TCP connection to SMTP port 587 work
STARTTLS works and certificate verification passes
Direct SMTP testing with swaks successfully sends email using the same credentials
Both LOGIN and PLAIN authentication work with the SMTP provider
use_sendmail=false
However, Vaultwarden’s Send Test Email fails with:
SMTP 5xx error: permanent error (535):
5.7.8 Authentication failed - Authentication credentials invalid
Vaultwarden also reports that the SMTP environment variables are being overridden by its saved config.json.
The SMTP settings shown in config.json appear correct, including host, port, username, password, STARTTLS and authentication mechanism.
Since swaks successfully authenticates and sends email from the same LXC using the same credentials, what could cause Vaultwarden itself to return 535?

Hello friends,
I have Motherboard Z-370 A Pro purchased in 2019ish. It was great of that time and it still works like charm. It got PCI 3.0, that time I had one thought, I need a system that doesn't hang and it lived up to the promise for basic daily use case - Chrome & Terminal.
My use case of this system has got nice upgrade. I am not into gaming, never been. However, I have a professional use case now. This system will be used for Business grade usage with 24x7 workload, running on Linux kernal based on OS.
So, I am stucked between few choices. I have reached 250 GB as use case mentally. I don't want to go with 500 GB nVME.
I am thinking to choose 1 TB nVME that is also giving me fear in mind that I may run of disk space at some point. So making huge leap I am thinking about 2 TB (Samsung nVME)
Question is shall I go for Heatsink or without Heatsink?
Sadly, my motherboard wont support PCI 5.0 and fallback to 3.0 :(
However, I still wish to go with top model Samsung 9100 Pro for better future. I have heard it got DRAM which is a nice thing. As one thing that I will purchase today shall last next 25 years at least.
👋 Hello experts.
I have a CPU with MSI Z370 - A Pro motherboard, PCI 3.0 supported, i7 processor, 32 GB RAM.
I am planning to host some business critical stuffs with Proxmox VM.
Kindly advice me.
UPDATE: I realized what happened.
Tho they didn't agreed for cashback on these transactions in email communication but it's worth mentioning that I spent over 74000 and by all means I already got cashback of INR 2001.. So, it's not worth fighting for it now.
LESSON LEARNED: Split big purchase near two dates (before & after statement) 🔥
A legend comment author mentioned: Keep spending below 40K per statement for full cashback up to INR 2000.
Below is the original post
I recently purchased COMPUTER RAM worth 20K yet no cashback using famous sbi cashback card.
I regret closing Amazon ICICI card at least that was crystal clear.
Trying to transfer files from DigitalOcean to Hostinger in the same region, the transfer speed is only 1MB/s
This is a prime example of poor services, it's cheap and time waste.
Is it possible to use proxmox as daily-driver on Desktop PC in a VM, I am comfortable with Linux distro such as Ubuntu/UbuntuServer/Debian family stuff and Windows 11 (I would hate switching to that bloated sh*t)?
Goal: I am trying to save electricity. Instead of keeping seperate machine for daily driver, I want to use same machine that I use for server.

UPDATE
I recently tried KVM/QEMU on Ubuntu 26.04 with Virt-Manager and I’m actually liking it.
I can keep Ubuntu as my daily desktop while running multiple VMs for separate things like hosting, SFTP and testing.
I was considering Proxmox mainly for better VM management, snapshots and reliability.
My only concern is using my daily Ubuntu installation as the host. If Ubuntu itself hangs due to something like a memory leak, all VMs would go down too.
For now, I’m going to run multiple VMs and apps and see how stable it is.
For those who have used both, is there a strong reason to choose Proxmox over KVM/libvirt on Ubuntu for this kind of setup?
Hello brother, I need to host 100 websites for clients, is Contabo VPS best fit for me?
We need 8 vCORE, 180 GB NVMe Disk space and 32 GB RAM.
I need a Push Notification self-hosted software for WordPress site. An example, PushEngage.
- When user visit our site, we want to display a prompt "Would you like to receive notification for our latest blog posts?"
- User click "No", pop up disappear.
- Else, User click "Yes", their browser profile is now registered.
Is there any free and open source software for the same that I can deploy at own 2 GB RAM VPS?
Thanks

At the moment, I use one current account for both businesses, along with limited personal use.
I mainly use the account for:
I have also linked the same current account to my Demat/trading account.
This creates a lot of transactions because I frequently transfer money to and withdraw money from my demat account.
The reason I initially linked this account was simple:
After that, there are some personal transactions as well.
3. Monthly personal transfer
- I use UPI lite to pay myself INR 5,000-10,000/month
(However, the problem UPI lite is limitation of 5K which often cause mess and never feel enough otherwise I would pay myself 10-15K once) Otherway is using using ATM Withdrawl.
4. Household expenses
I usually make one ATM withdrawal per month around INR 15K for household expenses.
5. Occasional personal/emergency transactions
Sometimes I also use the same current account for:
I am wondering whether I should separate these activities into different bank accounts.
Would it be better to have:
--------------- OR ------------
Or is my current setup reasonably fine for a sole proprietor?
What I don't like moving fund constantly between one account to another that's why I sticked so far to single current account, and using ATM withdrawl once and UPI Lite but there are also time when you purchase something from Amazon using Card, now I have to pay same via my current acc. So overall it's too much mix.
My main concern is keeping accounting, taxation, and transaction tracking clean without creating unnecessary complexity.
Would appreciate advice from other Indian sole proprietors who manage both a business and their own investments.
I am committed to following best practices and maintaining the highest possible standard of financial and tax compliance. I pay my taxes on time and my intention here is simply to structure my accounts and transactions in the cleanest and most appropriate way possible.

Even after good earning, beating expectations
I was auditing the code of WP Fastest Cache 1.5.1 and came across something I honestly didn't expect to find in a caching plugin.
Proof: https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wp-fastest-cache/trunk/inc/admin.php#L2448
There is code that checks the WordPress locale:
if (get_locale() === 'tr_TR') {
// link to an Apple App Store English-learning app
}
else if (get_locale() === 'de_DE') {
// another Apple App Store link to the same app
}
else {
// WP Fastest Cache promotional banner
}
The Turkish and German versions link directly to:
and specifically to an English-learning app that appears completely unrelated to caching or WordPress performance.
What makes this interesting to me is the combination of:
• Locale-specific targeting
• An unrelated commercial app
• The code being embedded inside a caching plugin
I'm not claiming this is malware. From this code alone, it isn't doing anything obviously malicious. It is simply displaying an external advertisement.
But here's my question:
Is this normal/acceptable behavior for a WordPress caching plugin?
If I install a performance plugin, I expect caching, optimization, maybe a promotion for the developer's own products related to WordPress only.
I don't particularly expect it to contain targeted advertising for an unrelated mobile app. It's annoying.
Am I overreacting, or is this something the WordPress community should be questioning?
Would especially like to hear from people familiar with WP Fastest Cache or WordPress.org plugin review/security practices.

I need to run many useful apps at Proxmox VM
But need to think about backup strategy
I have planned to keep SFTP server on seperate HDD drive where only thing will be Debian OS. Nothing else.
\------------------------
PC / Machine 1 with 32 GB RAM
├── 250 GB SSD
└── Proxmox
├── VM 1
├── VM 2
├── VM 3
└── many other apps
Laptop / Machine 2 with 8 GB RAM
├── 500 GB NVMe
└── Debian
└── SFTP server
*Plus I have 1 TB HDD, where shall I use?*
Is it good idea or there is any better approach?
Thanks
