====== Lester Linux Server ======

Recently, 3/2023, I am re-using Lester to be the public facing web server to save on energy. I flashed its BIOS so it can restart from an external SATA SSD, so it has no sd card any more. I saved the former SD card which contains some Garmin and simulator work on it.

I installed zenphoto on lester but I'm not happy with the limited GUI. I installed Coppermine Photo Gallery 1.6x instead for better success.

===== Dynamic DNS - quizkid.isageek.net via afraid.org =====

(Used to be on server Ivan) Previously I had DynDNS.com services, but I discontinued them because they doubled their rates. I've moved to ''afraid.org''

I installed a wget line in the Lester dwheele crontab (I removed part of the password string from the dokuwiku display below). I also commented out the Ivan root crontab version of the same.
