Troubleshooting ssh error

Today, I needed to setup ssh on a newly installed Ubuntu machine. Setting up ssh itself was straight forward install openssh-server start it via systemctl enable the port in the firewall But when I tried connecting it from other machine, I got the following error: Received disconnect from 192.168.1.110 port 22:2: Too many authentication failures 1 When I tried to get help, GenAI focused on Too many authentication part of the error, and gave me suggestions to change server to allow more attempts.

Make Bad Art Everyday

The tile of the post comes from Cheat code #3 of this post. I had a good streak writing here for a long time. Then in late April, I went on a week long trip. (Not vacation, it was a volunteering trip. I should have posted about it here. I did write about it in marathi, but shared it with closed group.) Long story short, that broke my streak, and it occurs to that I wrote 1 post in May, none in June, and this is my 2nd post in July.

How to use real android device for flutter development

I recently started learning Flutter. My 10 year old MBP with 8GB RAM is apparently not “enough” based on this documentation It “recommends” 32GB RAM. Lowest number listed is 8GB, but it means I can’t use Android Emulator, which seems like most common way to test the app during the development phase. But I do have a real android device, can I use that instead ? But most documentation talks/assumes emulator.

Please please please don’t impose dark mode on your websites. Honor the user’s system settings.

There are plenty of people with visual impairments as common as astigmatism who can’t read light text on dark background, because it’s like staring at a strong lightbulb in the dark.

And it’s not hard. Just a few lines of CSS.

Does anybody else feel like an atheist in a 15th century monastery, abiding daily in capitalist realism? For my day job I constantly film corporate events and the like - and the whole kit and kaboodle is simulacra. Empty words dribbled by emptier people, to be consumed by empty listeners who must pretend to care about them. No less ludicrous and arbitrary than the rituals of a byzantine enclosed order.
