I have tried to implement policy based routing having created an nftable, created a set, populated the table and added some output and prerouting rules: nft add chain inet myfilter output { type route hook output priority filter; policy accept; nft add rule inet myfilter output ip daddr @ip_exclude counter ct mark set 0x2 meta mark set ct mark nft add chain inet myfilter prerouting { type filter hook prerouting priority mangle; policy accept; nft add rule inet myfilter prerouting ip daddr @ip_exclude counter ct mark set 0x2 meta mark set ct mark When attempting to connect to the site through the new interface I get the error 'This site can't be reached'. If anyone can help point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

For an indeterminate amount of time, I will have a work laptop, which I can bring home. My boss told me that she wants me to leave it on, so my employer's IT can push out updates to the work laptop, etc. I understand what my employer wants. But I am not comfortable with the idea of exposing all my personal computers at home, to my employer. That isn't their business, either. So, first question is, does having my work laptop turned on and connected to my home Wi-Fi enough for my employer to push updates to it? Networking is not in my wheelhouse, so I don't know if that's possible or not. I would think that I would have to connect to my employer's domain for them to push updates to the laptop 24/7. Am I correct or can just having it powered up and connected to my home Wi-Fi enough for them to push updates to the laptop? And if the answer to that question is Yes, then can they look at any of my home machines? If the answer to my last question is yes, then I have an option

I can't remove the small capitals in a Title or add them to another in PowerPoint. I'd really like to know how to, because I don't have LibreOffice Impress and only know how to use that.

I've got a few hundred 7z archives that were recompressed with a very high compression level, and it took a very long time to process them all. While inspecting the original archives, I found that many of the non-executable files had the executable permission bit set, and these permissions were preserved in the recompressed archives. As far as I know, 7z rn is the only command that modifies file metadata inside an existing archive, but it only affects filenames, which is effectively renaming files right in the archive. Is there any way to modify other archived file metadata, such as permission bits or timestamps, without recreating the archive (i.e. without using 7z a or 7z u)?

I'm using Mail Merge to create a set of letters that are almost, but not quite, printed in triplicate. That document might look something like this: We are sending you «Radish», «Phaser», and «Unicorn» as transaction number «Foo».

I am having an issue with Rocky Linux using ZFS in combination with podman containers (quadlets) and having hangs on reboot. I can shutdown all running containers and export the ZFS pool manually then reboot and it reboots quickly. But if I leave containers running and the pool in a good imported state the reboot hangs without fail. I've tried many things to solve it and none of them work.

When I did it the size went down to 576MB from 700MB. Please advise why this happened?

My son, in his wisdom, has named one of the shared drives on the server as “Mummy's Drive.” I can get to it from both Windows and Android but I can't get to it from Linux.I have tried the following combinations, none of them have worked. smb://cup@server/Mummy's Drive smb://cup@server/Mummy\'s\ Drive smb://"cup@server/Mummy's Drive" smb://cup@"server/Mummy\'s\ Drive" smb://"cup@server/Mummy'\s\ Drive - only 1 quote I can get to it by giving the drive a different share name which does not have primes or spaces but I would really like to know how to attach to a share with primes in the directory name.
