      Right, well, it’s come clear what the issue is, at least over here- in setting up the M365 email account EM Client offers the option of encryption, for which I opted out, the reason being the existing PGP keys not compatible.
      Actually removed and re-added the stearnvault account to EMC, and got a rather weird email, for which I have forwarded onto to walrusramblings mailbox for your perusal.
      The EMC gui very kindly offers the creation of new keys, though at this time for some (unbased perhaps) reason I wanted to import the old ones created by Putty. EMC won’t except anything but PKCS12 files, hence the next step was to go about exporting the Putty PPK files to PEM. Now there is still a problem with the PEM file, as folks usually want some cert info in them, see here. Would LetsEncrypt be able to help out with a workable PKCS12 format do you think?

        Thanks for the thread. 🙂
        Okay, noreply is news, doesn’t seem to be much about it. Gets an honourable mention in the WP admin for the PostSmtp plugin as explained here.
        Think something has to be changed in WP admin, as now the email is hosted by m365, see here. iinet.net.au shouldn’t be encrypting at all, rather Exchange?

          If you like, or even just a separate thread for the email plugin itself. Once things are working, we can shoot some info into the sticky on the forums page. 🙂

            The Levoit looks very smart, so it just has a little fan that causes some circulation. By that we suppose the air closest to the unit is always the purest. 🙂
            Just curious, how often do the filters have to be replaced.
            Clicked “Enable UPS Support” in Hardware & Power, “Device Information” down the bottom has “No UPS is connected.” It’s weird, because old threads like this say the “Enable UPS Support” check is altogether disabled when no UPS is detected.
            Edit: Just remembered the query was posted at Schneider a while back. No replies yet. 🙁

              A very rocky beginning on the W11 rig, firstly the power cord into the UPS got disconnected somehow, which prompted premature shutdown/power off to the PC. Had no idea it was that, until the PC speaker alarm rang twice. The UPS also supplies the NAS which also lost power to the degree that data scrubbing initiated.
              After the power issue was resolved, really weird things started after the ethernet cord was (belatedly) plugged in. There was internet available for the Chrome browser, but the system settings had the Ethernet as disabled, and there were other messages relating to absence of internet in settings. The idea was to access the NAS drive to restore some settings, no way Ray, as the drives were not detected, even though Windows Discovery was turned on. The event log did report a 7023 for the Discovery Resource Publication service. Performed an internet troubleshoot, and after a long while it reported no issues. Then 2 or 3 minutes later, Windows suddenly found the ethernet, and all the NAS drives were available! At first it looked as if the PC had a wifi chip with the internet using traffic from that, would explain the mix-up, nothing in Settings or Device Manager though.
              As a sidenote, On W10 it’s really simple to disable and re-enable the ethernet, not so easy on W11 apparently. And a few errors in the event logs, DNScache 7011 timeouts, SysMain service 7023 unknown authentication, and Audiosrv service 7000 logon failure followed by 7038. The services of Dr. Google required! 😛

                MS Teams Classic came up with the old chat on the W11 rig for about two seconds before getting the “You’re missing out! Ask your admin to enable Microsoft Teams for Blanko You’re currently signed in as lm******@oz*****.au ”, as above top post. There is half a chance it might work for the defunct ozemail account if it can be enabled per Didi’s second answer here.
                Edit: Came across this and this.

                    Ok, thanks, yes it’s sure to be the resolution, 768p, might file something with Cleantalk.
                    Could also try the font scaling in the browser as well.
                    Okay, there is some documentation on Flood Protection which could help,

                      Oooh, forgot to ask, how did you all survive the hurricane?
                      Well, yes, where to secure one of those magically endowed miner’s picks that are well formed up to hack stuff out, invariably there is a sporting chance to find more lasting remedy from deep down in that cold, dark web, and with the commencement of such enterprises, always the jitters. 😛
                      Had a chat about it with a sharp-eyed lean looking specimen in the local ISP shop, it was confirmed he had a good grip of the under the hood, yet no intention of blurting out anything untoward, in case someone nearby, or even me, turned out to be a stool pigeon for Big Brother. 😛
                      Haven’t played much Oblivion on this rig in the year so far, thumbs up for a happy continuation in 2024 then. 🙂

                        Along with the black box you could have the text “hover to reveal” or similar – depends how long the text is of course. Any chance it could it be placed on the menu?

                          Something that old to be still behind a paywall? Does it come through on IA?
                          As a matter of interest, they screened the original Friday the 13th last night. The first 45 minutes came across as a thin, run of the mill chain of events, turned out to be the right formula for the bunch of shocks that ensued. 🙂

                            There’s quite a bit going with it, because obviously there has to be a button that triggers the event.

                                  Did play The 7th Guest once, found it to be well presented and very playable, do remember consulting a hint sheet towards the culmination of the mystery. It’s still playable, of course, and if the rig has no CD drive, try an emulator for the Wayback version, or even the special ed on offer over there.
                                  Do you use Chrome on there or the inbuilt browser. Not a frequent user of Chrome on the Android, so haven’t tested the limits enough for any helpful assessment. On the PC, the cache “self manages” on Chrome and Edge so that manual intervention hasn’t been required for years. As a consequence of intensive browsing episodes, cookies could do with some trimming after a while. 🙂

                                    Yeah, there’s still issues with EE even after all this time, a major improvement would be to adjust the angle of view in the interaction area. By how much, and too how much it would or should impact gameplay and quest progression is more a question for a dedicated patch team than some random modder. For no other reason than a complete decompilation, followed by considerable restructuring of the game engine code. 😛
                                    Another little quirky thing bobbed up regarding Windows and DirectX immersion, if you run Disk Cleanup during an active game, the cleanup progress bar window will flash in and out of the game screen until Disk Cleanup is complete. Even when the cleanup progress is moved off screen, the game doesn’t quite run how it should.

                                        If it is this one with Charlie Brown, the music hits the right spot. 🙂
                                        Anything with Dustin Hoffman is worth a gander, and Rain Man is a super bonus in the event the Vegas itch ever gets the better of us and our card counting mates!
                                        Streaming all the series of Departure, it’s great if you like quick plot development, crash porn, and well dressed people strutting around being very much up to speed in solving important cases. (Quite interesting as well.) 🙂
                                        Right at the beginning Underwater gets straight into the slushy and squelchy D & D action with little fanfare, it takes the liberty of assuming one is already familiar with the layout of the vast water catacomb. Could not resist the desire to leave the movie halfway through, but not before hearing this joke. 😛

                                          This one isn’t Charlie Brown related, but it’s nice. 🙂

                                            What did the fish say when it ran into a wall? Dam!
