I have a running TVheadend on a Bullseye installation on a SDcard for my Raspberry Pi 4. For a while I'm trying to install TVheadend under Bookworm. My first problem was that the second German TV channel (actually the entire family incl ZDFneo, ZDFinfo and 3sat) won't shop up. The rest of the channels were doing alright. With my last attempt I have an even bigger issue: after login in I get a 403 forbidden error, i.e. I don't get any chance configuring TV headend nor any access. I tried with different browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Konquerer), all security options of the browsers switched off with no improvements.

In a stupid phase of cockiness I tried to get away from Plesk and install all my websites under a container. Everything seemed to be alright until I came to certificates. Under a reverse proxy server. I am not sure what killed my plan:  those certificates or that reverse proxy. Anyhow, it took a while to get Plesk up and running again and get some websites up.

I registered a new domain and thought I make it more secure. Thus I tried to install a certificate. I even bought one. And they sent me the invoice with some number. But I do not see where that certificate is. It should be a .pem or .crt file. I search engined a bit and found a plesk forum (https://talk.plesk.com/) where somebody said, that she is witing now for ages for her certificate. I might be having the same issue….

Friends gave me two old laptops (both about 10 years old) they didn’t need anymore. Windows was installed on both of those laptops, but did not work anznore. I installed Debian on both of them. One of them, an old amilo Pi from Fujitsu-Siemens worked fine in the begin, but got too hot after a while and crashed regularly. I almost declared it dead. For the other one, a Samsung, I found additional RAM and installed it together with a new battery. I reduced the frequency of the processor with CPUfreq. In this way I got at least one of those laptops working, not perfectly but I could manage. One of the downsides of this laptop is thou that the screen is not too big.

Today I got a phone call from Microsoft. At least thats what the voices on the other side of the line told me. They (I talked to at least three people) asked me if my Computer is on (I answered with yes) and told me that I have a problem on my computer, probably a trojan horse, and asked me to press the Windows key and the letter R at the same time. I actually did that. Nothing happened. The reason might be that I do not have Windows (at least at the moment) running on my computer. I asked the first guy for his name, his phone number and which department he works for. He answered in broken German that he works for Windows, Microsoft, gave me some phone number. At some point I talked to a woman and later again to another guy. The last guy said again, that I have a problem, I told him I don’t, but he might have one. The converation was ended from his side. I filled in a Microsoft Tech-Scam-Support form ( https://www.microsoft.com/de-DE/concern/scam ). Microsoft would never phone anybody even if they assume that somebody has a virus. And embarrisingly enuf: the first link on this site goes to Microsoft.

I am trying to get an email address working under plesk. I (think I) setup an email address. Difficult enuf was the password. First my passowrd was not strong enuf. So I added some numbers and special characters. Then I was not allowed to use the email address inside the password. Eventually I managed. I can see the email address in the Plesk backend. So far, so good. But how do I get on to the webmail frontend?

Am on something completely different now. I got myself my first Raspberry Pi. To make no mistakes, I got myself the most recent one (Model 4, incl. power supply, HDMI cable and a case). I guess that was actually the mistake. The internet is full of advice for raspberries, but most for the past models. I connected the Raspi to my mothers television and all I see is a red LED blinking. The most I can get is if I remove the SD card: then I get even the green LED blinking. But thats it. 

I know the problem now: The domain and the webspace are not connected (again). I managed to copy the files (incl the paths) from a subdomain to the webspace. And the database. But not the username of that database. And I get an “Error: Can not find domain by id 11″

I have several domains on one contratct of a service provider. The contract uses an outdated version of Debian (Wheezy 7) with an outdated version of php. So I got another contract with the same provider and got a more recent Debian (Stretch 9) with a more recent version of php. For the start I am trying to move one domain from the old contract to the new one. Luckily it is one of my own domains. Cause it doesn’t work. Til now. I clicked on “Connect domain using domain connect”. And am waiting now for more than one hour. I might have to give it the other 47 hours.
