[592.62 --> 593.72] Like, think about that, right?
[593.74 --> 594.50] They can leverage
[594.50 --> 595.28] their experience,
[595.40 --> 596.08] their relationships
[596.08 --> 597.94] in a way that nobody else can
[597.94 --> 598.82] because they've been
[598.82 --> 599.62] in cloud computing
[599.62 --> 600.94] before it was cloud computing.
[601.20 --> 602.10] 11 data centers
[602.10 --> 602.88] around the world.
[603.12 --> 603.76] We got an email
[603.76 --> 604.88] into the show from James.
[605.76 --> 606.10] He said,
[606.16 --> 606.92] I wanted to set up
[606.92 --> 608.56] an SMTP relay
[608.56 --> 610.08] at my previous
[610.08 --> 611.70] VPS provider,
[612.30 --> 614.20] but because they were
[614.20 --> 615.28] kind of, you know,
[615.48 --> 617.00] trying to be competitive
[617.00 --> 617.58] in the market,
[617.72 --> 618.78] they ended up
[618.78 --> 619.66] with not the best
[619.66 --> 620.66] IP reputation
[620.66 --> 621.76] and they ended up
[621.76 --> 622.28] getting blocked
[622.28 --> 622.92] by Microsoft.
[623.20 --> 624.10] And so then he spun up
[624.10 --> 625.60] another box on their system
[625.60 --> 626.68] and that also got blocked
[626.68 --> 627.42] by Microsoft.
[629.12 --> 629.62] He's like,
[629.64 --> 630.54] I couldn't even find them
[630.54 --> 631.58] on any public blacklist.
[631.64 --> 632.88] Yet Microsoft just started
[632.88 --> 634.78] blacklisting all of these IPs.
[634.78 --> 635.70] So I decided I'd go over
[635.70 --> 636.24] to Linode
[636.24 --> 638.44] and try a Linode over there
[638.44 --> 639.14] and support the show.
[639.22 --> 639.88] So he goes to
[639.88 --> 641.56] linode.com slash SSH.
[641.70 --> 642.94] He spins up a system
[642.94 --> 643.34] on Linode
[643.34 --> 643.86] and he discovers,
[644.06 --> 644.34] oh,
[644.34 --> 646.44] Linode has a policy
[646.44 --> 647.16] where they block
[647.16 --> 648.66] all SMTP related ports
[648.66 --> 649.32] by default.
[649.46 --> 650.06] Oh, well,
[650.36 --> 651.20] I guess I'll email support
[651.20 --> 652.14] and see what they say.
[652.28 --> 652.92] So he sends off
[652.92 --> 653.88] a quick email to support.
[654.06 --> 655.48] He gets a prompt response
[655.48 --> 656.06] later
[656.06 --> 657.66] and they open up the ports
[657.66 --> 658.52] and everything
[658.52 --> 659.80] is working perfectly.
[660.42 --> 660.86] He goes,
[661.44 --> 663.04] then a few days later,
[663.04 --> 664.18] I finally got a response
[664.18 --> 665.38] from my original provider
[665.38 --> 666.54] with some canned email
[666.54 --> 667.52] that didn't help it at all.
[667.58 --> 668.38] I reply to that.
[668.58 --> 670.46] I got another canned email response
[670.46 --> 671.44] and that was it.
[671.44 --> 672.24] I just gave up
[672.24 --> 673.32] and I'm moving everything
[673.32 --> 674.18] over to Linode.
[674.44 --> 676.14] They're genuinely just great
[676.14 --> 678.34] and I've gotten so many notes
[678.34 --> 678.68] into the show
[678.68 --> 679.80] that talk about Linode support.
[679.96 --> 680.50] It's not an aspect
[680.50 --> 681.32] I touch on a lot
[681.32 --> 682.32] but it really matters
[682.32 --> 683.24] once you get up and running,
[683.38 --> 684.72] especially if you've got
[684.72 --> 685.66] some important infrastructure
[685.66 --> 686.08] on there.
[686.34 --> 686.98] So go check them out.
[687.08 --> 689.16] Linode.com slash SSH.
[689.16 --> 692.22] Now I know you covered
[692.22 --> 693.58] some stuff about LastPass
[693.58 --> 695.24] in Linux Unplugged.
[695.28 --> 697.60] This is like Linux Unplugged Plus
[697.60 --> 698.58] this episode, isn't it?
[699.68 --> 701.60] But LastPass have been doing
[701.60 --> 702.52] some shenanigans
[702.52 --> 704.28] with their free tiers and stuff.
[704.40 --> 705.76] I think we've all been expecting this
[705.76 --> 706.80] for quite a long time
[706.80 --> 709.16] since they were acquired.
[709.82 --> 711.46] Now they are limiting
[711.46 --> 713.84] the access
[713.84 --> 715.90] to unlimited devices
[715.90 --> 716.86] of one type.
