As we know, new outlook keeps popping up in Windows Mail where you can toggle to use the new Outlook. Which is fucked up! Windows Mail is free, you can use outlook if you have free account but you cannot use Outlook if you purchase basic subscription. So I have no choice but to use Windows Mail because I only got basic subscription.

Somehow, Windows can force install this to your system and even replace the Mail to the new Outlook. I go through to few sites which they have the same problem with me.

• https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com/forum/all/how-do-i-totally-delete-the-new-outlook-i-only/216889bd-1dd0-4d58-8a2a-5e290e97f3bc
• https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com/forum/all/how-to-remove-new-outlook-from-windows-10/7afcbf97-19c7-45bb-a15c-1ad0cbfae44d
• https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com/forum/all/since-i-did-try-the-new-outlook-how-do-i-eradicate/a14a9e47-cee0-4538-870a-a7acc15ae1ab

But none of them works!!!

So, here's my solution. Open your notepad, write a powershell script, copy the code below...

# power shell

# show list of apps
# Get-AppxPackage | select Name, PackageFullName | Format-List

# remove outlook
Remove-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.OutlookForWindows_1.2024.916.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
Get-AppxPackage -all Microsoft.OutlookForWindows_* | Remove-AppxPackage -AllUsers

then save the file as powershell script at any location you want, example: "D:\uninstall_outlook.ps1"

then open in your Windows Task Scheduler, create a task, schedule it to run every 10 minutes.

or (this is the one I used because Task Scheduler sucks!) download and use System Scheduler at https://www.splinterware.com/download/index.html -- the free version of course! System Scheduler is better doing the task than Windows Task Scheduler.

Do the same, create a task/event then in the Event tab, name the event or task. there fill up the other fields like:

• Application: powershell.exe
• Parameters: -File uninstall_outlook.ps1
• Working Dir: D:\
• State: Hidden

then go to the next tab, Schedule. Select Every hour / selected Minutes, then select every 5 minutes.

UPDATE 2024-10-14: ensure you run the system scheduler as "Administrator"

What does the powershell do?

What you did is simply create a script to uninstall outlook. So if Windows install the Outlook in the background, your script will counter which to uninstall Outlook without bothering you.

Wallah! Problem solved!

I was stuck for a while how to resize a running partition in my VM. Been searching for answers and all answers are quite long except this one:

 I have been using docker lately. I have these legacy personal projects that I can't just abandon them. Still display in my portfolio. :) Then my new projects are now using Symfony 6.4 with MySQL 8.0. It is the time that I need both MySQL v5.7 and v8.x to run side-by-side in my server. Here's my docker-compose.yaml

version: '3.1'

services:
   mysql8:
      container_name: docker_mysql8
      image: mysql:8.0
      ports:
        - 3313:3306
      restart: always
      environment:
        MYSQL_USER: user
        MYSQL_PASSWORD: xxx
        MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: xxx
        MYSQL_ROOT_HOST: "%"
        MYSQL_PORT: 3306
      volumes:
        - /var/lib/mysqld8:/var/lib/mysql
      healthcheck:
        test: ["CMD", "mysqladmin", "ping", "-h", "localhost"]
        timeout: 20s
        retries: 10
      networks:
        - default
   mysql5_7:
      container_name: docker_mysql5_7
      image: mysql:5.7
      ports:
        - 3312:3306
      restart: always
      environment:
        MYSQL_USER: user
        MYSQL_PASSWORD: xxxx
        MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: xxxx
        MYSQL_ROOT_HOST: "%"
        MYSQL_PORT: 3306
      volumes:
        - /var/lib/mysqld57:/var/lib/mysql
      healthcheck:
        test: ["CMD", "mysqladmin", "ping", "-h", "localhost"]
        timeout: 20s
        retries: 10
      networks:
        - default

then save it let's say at "/srv/mysql/docker-compose.yaml" and to initialise, run "docker-compose up -d"

one thing to remember though, if you want to make some changes. Never cast the command: "docker-composer down" because this will delete the data you got in the container unless you created backups.

instead, just do "docker-compose stop" to stop the container and "docker-compose start" when you want to get the container running again.

if errors encounter, simply just restart docker then cast "systemctl restart docker" then go to "/srv/mysql" and run "docker-compose up -d"

I have been using https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html and today I found a script to give me report the same ssllabs.com does.

The bash script based is really good. Very helpful giving me the report I need.

https://testssl.sh/ -- You can download the script from their github.

Here's the sample report: (I can display this because its an A+ verdict)

I was looking for a plugin to implement 2FA in my mail server. I found alexandregz/twofactor_gauthenticator but its quite outdated and quirky. Seems not maintained. So I forked it, the foundation is there and just need to improve it.

After few days of work, here's my improved 2FA for RoundCube webmail. Please feel free to use it and it works well with RoundCube v1.5.x

Git Repo: https://github.com/camilord/twofactor_gauthenticator

It's been a while I haven't checked my server with latest configuration with SSL stuff. When I did, I got B. So today, I make my SSL in my server great again! lol

So how I did it...

a2endmod headers

Make sure you enable the headers for the "Strict-Transport-Security"

Then next is edit your ssl.conf, currently my server is not Ubuntu 20.04LTS, not using CentOS 7.x anymore due to work related getting used to it. So in Ubuntu, the config file is located at: /etc/apache2/mods-available/ssl.conf

        #SSLCipherSuite HIGH:!aNULL
        SSLCipherSuite "EECDH+ECDSA+AESGCM EECDH+aRSA+AESGCM EECDH+ECDSA+SHA384 EECDH+ECDSA+SHA256 EECDH+aRSA+SHA384 EECDH+aRSA+SHA256 EECDH EDH+aRSA !CAMELLIA !SEED !3DES !RC4 !aNULL !eNULL !LOW !MD5 !EXP !PSK !SRP !DSS"

        #SSLProtocol all -SSLv3
        SSLProtocol TLSv1.2
        SSLCompression off
        SSLHonorCipherOrder on

        SSLUseStapling          on
        SSLStaplingResponderTimeout 5
        SSLStaplingReturnResponderErrors off
        SSLStaplingCache        shmcb:/var/run/ocsp(128000)

        # Header always set Strict-Transport-Security
        Header always set Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=15552000; includeSubDomains; preload"

So that's it, you'll get A+ for that coz I did! :) Cheers!
