Hi all, I am trying to block all IP addresses from Africa due to a high rate of fraudulent orders coming from them. I have some found some websites that can generate a range of IP addresses.

Hi all, Sorry if this seems too basic. But is there a way to overwrite the target of a symbolic link without first deleting the symlink itself?

Hi everyone, I use the "screen" command from time to time and what i would still have to figure out how to do is for it to be able to source .bashrc and read my user-defined configuration (aliases for example).
