You have an Ubuntu server that needs SSL but it's on a private network? If you're using AWS for DNS, try Let's Encrypt DNS-01 Validation with AWS Route 53
Set up Let's Encrypt with HTTPS for a private Ubuntu 24 server with a private GoDaddy DNS entry! For this, we'll use the DNS-01 challenge for validation, which works in private network setups where the server does not have a public IP address.
This guide explains how to install Let’s Encrypt on private-server-1.pri.smortler.com, an Ubuntu 24 VM in a private network without a public IP address and with no API access to the DNS server. The process uses the DNS-01 challenge method.

We have several Internet-based services that allow us to watch free movies and pay-per-view/on-demand watching, such as NetFlix, XBOX One Movies, AMAZON Prime, etc., but when Internet and/or cable is not working, having HDTV Air TV is a big plus!
Learn the Phonetic Alphabet! Phonetics is used to spell letters in place of just saying the letter, number, special character, itself. By using a word for each one of these characters, there is less chance that the person listening will confuse letters, numbers, and/or special characters. For instance, some letters that can easily be confused are "b" and "e" and as for numbers, "9" and "5" sometimes get confused. The phonetic alphabet is used in radio communications around the world by maritime units, aircraft, amateur radio operators, the military, and certainly by Kevin Crothers :).

Over time, your attic's condensate drain P-trap can collect moisture, dust, and organic debris - the perfect breeding ground for algae and mold. If left unmaintained, this buildup clogs the trap, causing condensate water to back up and overflow. When that happens, water can seep through your ceiling, down studs, and into your walls, leading to costly structural damage, soaked insulation, and even hidden mold growth. A few minutes of routine maintenance every 3 months can save you thousands of dollars in repairs - and protect your home from avoidable water disasters. Consider this simple Condensate Drain P-Trap Maintenance Routine (Quarterly) - Do this once every 3 months, or more often if the trap gets heavy use (like Mississippi summer AC condensate drain(s)).
For streams with low to moderate flow, converting your shallow water crossing to a vented ford with a minimum 12-inch culvert pipe embedded under the concrete surface can be an effective solution to allow water to flow underneath, preventing stagnation upstream while maintaining a usable crossing. For high-flow streams, like those exceeding 1000 CFS, solid crossings without underflow may be necessary to prevent washout, as professionally engineered designs often prioritize stability. Where applicable, the culvert reduces the time water trickles over the top, which can lead to algae, moss, and mold growth, making the surface slippery and dangerous. A textured concrete surface further minimizes standing water, enhancing safety. This "vented ford" design is best for streams with manageable flows, with overflow handled by the low-profile surface.
