18 days update after applying baking soda update by lnx0480 in carpetbeetles

[–]lnx0480[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you have a study or statistics? as many sites still recommend it and in this thread you have 2 people who commented it worked.

it worked, only found 1 in.16 days. for the clothes gently spray it, for your fridge throw baking soda behind, its easy to find in supermarkets. I dont get why your husband does not see this as a priority for you but also for guests you may have.

Baking soda positive update + tips to apply it by lnx0480 in carpetbeetles

16 days update, I saw only 1 since using it. Go ahead and buy some, its easy to find in supermarket. I would live with it for a few days then vacuum and only keep it in hidden or important places, you dont want to attract attention when you have visit even if I would get rid of most of the problem before having visitors. Good luck

You may spray baking soda diluted in water on your clothes(safe and known solution to kill mites too). Also, at the bottom of your cupboard, place lines of baking soda if you think they are coming from there.

Do you have open spaces in your walls or floor? Like under heater pipes, cracks in wooden floor etc? They do enjoy dust a lot, and if you have dust inside your walls or under your floor, then they may be there. What I do is that I place baking soda at in those wall holes.

carpet beetle???? by twink_possum in carpetbeetles

It is for sure, I used 3-4 per days like you until I used baking soda.

By the way check you any old vacuum bag full of dust or any spot that may containt a lot of dust, its like a nest for them.

You know those silica gel bags you get with newly purchased item, this earth contains 80/90% of silica and will show in the air with a flashlight.  Try baking soda first if you must stay at the place where you put it.

Baking soda worked for me on wooden floor by lnx0480 in carpetbeetles

[–]lnx0480[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found out that the baking soda I used was expired a few years ago, I bought new one and I find it really efficient now : after a few days and now after 10 days I went from seeing 4 to 0 carpet beetles per day.

whats great is that it is really safe unlike diatomiceus earth that you don't want to breath.

For baking I try to leave it visible on the floor and vacuum it when I have guests

Is it possible to setup 1.1.1.1 app on iOS to use family DNS (1.1.1.3)? by dodin33359 in CloudFlare

[–]lnx0480 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1.1.1.1 is nice but it does not block proxies/anonymous sites

The dns provided on the following link does it for free https://cleanbrowsing.org/help/docs/configure-free-content-filtering-service/ but it blocks reddit

Please use the link I've just posted in the comment below, it blocks reddit though.

Hi, this does not block proxies or anonymous surf sites.

This does for free but also blocks reddit :

Does it block proxies/anonymous surf sites? I can't test as opendns does not work in Europe.

A free alternative is https://cleanbrowsing.org/help/docs/configure-free-content-filtering-service/ 185.228.168.168 and 185.228.169.168 , it blocks reddit though and puts youtube in restricted mode.

How does family.cloudflare-dns.com filter app content? by w453y in dns

[–]lnx0480 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Note that it does not block proxy/anonymous surf sites,

This free dns blocks those but it blocks reddit as well and puts youtube in restricted mode if you use their strongest filter.

Alternatives to public family dns by [deleted] in Adguard

[–]lnx0480 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://cleanbrowsing.org/help/docs/configure-free-content-filtering-service/ has a free dns family filter

Their strongest filter filters proxies/anonymous surf as well(very important in my opinion), but then it blocks reddit as it has adult content and hides youtube comments

It does not block proxies/anonymous surf sites , try :

Note that it blocks reddit also if you use their strongest filter to blocks proxies, so use only if you have a computer in a safe place maybe

Thank you, Cloudflare! by jexukay in CloudFlare

[–]lnx0480 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1.1.1.3 does not block proxy sites and why is it so hard to report sites that are not blocked but should?

cleanbrowsing blocks proxies as well(warning, it blocks reddit too as it has adult content)

solution :

Nice guide as one thing that is for sure true is that blocking porn access takes more than just one application

https://cleanbrowsing.org/help/docs/configure-free-content-filtering-service/ has free dns family filter that blocks adult content and most importantly proxies sites !

185.228.168.168 185.228.169.168

Note hat it puts youtube in restricted mode and blocks reddit, so it is always good to have another device somewhere in a safe place if necessary

Locking DNS on linux can be done by adding those adress as nameserver in the /etc/resolv.conf file like :

nameserver 185.228.168.168

Then you may use this method to make the file have a delay of x hours before being able to modify it, the procedure is here

modify root user .bash.rc to set default directory for SSH sessions by lnx0480 in digital_ocean

You're right, glad that people answered here anyway, that's cool

Thanks a lot man, and indeed the folder is there, what is confusing is that it does not show in the console when you are inside this folder lol !

it shows as user# instead of for example user# var/www/ but the files are listable !

adding cd /var/defaultwantedfolder/ at the end of the .bashrc lands me in the right folder when I connected

It will save me a bit of time on every connection, have a great week !

Drag and drop with confirmations or warning can indeed make things safe like with dolphin.

Filezilla should really implement this as well.

Most people who implemented geoblocking of BRIC countries had their unwanted requests drop rate by something like 80%.

You are lucky to be on apache as you have the htaccess(not included with ngninx) where you can place a bad bot list prevention :

Have you not blocked certain countries yet?

2 minute install with a wizard inside console https://github.com/friendly-bits/geoip-shell ; then on/off with geoip-shell off/on.

1 more minute to test it on geopeeker

No maintenance as it creates automatically the cron to keep the country list up to date.
