To create DMARC, SPF, and DKIM records for your domain, you'll need to configure the DNS TXT entries for each. Here's how to do it: 1. SPF Record The SPF record helps to identify which mail servers are allowed to send email on behalf of your domain. Step-by-Step: Login to your DNS provider's management panel. Add a new DNS TXT record with the following value: v=spf1 a mx ip4:< myserver.net > -all 2. DMARC Record DMARC tells mail servers how to handle emails that fail SPF or DKIM checks. Step-by-Step: Add a DNS TXT record with the following value: v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:postmaster@myserver.net; ruf=mailto:postmaster@myserver.net; sp=none; aspf=r; This record means that DMARC is set to "none" (no enforcement). You can change p=none to p=quarantine or p=reject once you are confident your setup is working. 3. DKIM If you haven't installed OpenDKIM, do so: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install opendkim opendkim-tools Next, generate your DKIM key p...

 By default, Anydesk doesn't work on Ubuntu as it uses a different display server than what is expected by Anydesk (it expects the traditional X11 rather than Wayland). Dump this into a file, say, "fix_anydesk.sh", and then run it with sudo bash fix_anydesk.sh The script: #!/bin/bash # Check if the user has root privileges if [[ $EUID -ne 0 ]]; then    echo "This script must be run as root"     exit 1 fi # Backup the GDM configuration file GDM_CONFIG="/etc/gdm3/custom.conf" if [[ -f "$GDM_CONFIG" ]]; then     cp "$GDM_CONFIG" "$GDM_CONFIG.bak"     echo "Backup of custom.conf created." else     echo "GDM configuration file not found."     exit 1 fi # Disable Wayland by uncommenting and setting the 'WaylandEnable' option to false sed -i 's/#WaylandEnable=false/WaylandEnable=false/' "$GDM_CONFIG" # Inform the user echo "Wayland has been disabled.
