  • How to create pointless error reports (and how not to) Μαρτίου 15, 2010
    How to create pointless error reports (and how not to) Linux's little love notes about software RAID consistency errors makes a perfect example of something that system administrators run into all the time: pointless error reports. It's worth noting that a pointless error report is something different from a useless error report. A useless error re […]

  • The dividing line between supporting code and forking it Μαρτίου 14, 2010
    Shared by stsimb ideally you merge changes upstream as fast as possible; the faster you merge, the less work each of your changes is for you The dividing line between supporting code and forking it Suppose that you want to provide support for a bunch of open source code but are not the primary author or maintainer. Inevitably you will have to patch bugs and […]

  • An 'email marketing' wish Μαρτίου 14, 2010
    Shared by stsimb +1 for rejecting at smtp level.. An 'email marketing' wish One of my spam peculiarities is that I really dislike spam being delivered to me even if it's been tagged as spam and gets immediately filed away into the far depths of the filesystem, never to be seen again. Back when I was more actively involved in anti-spam stuff, I […]

  • Cisco "Go" links reference in the wiki Μαρτίου 6, 2010
    One of my (very) slow-paced background projects has been building a list of all the handy Cisco.com "go" links I come across. "Go" links are easily remembered shortcut links to various content throughout Cisco.com. For example, http://cisco.com/go/fn redirects to Cisco's feature navigator tool at http://tools.cisco.com/ITDIT/CFN/jsp/ […]

  • Paul Vixie on DNSSEC vs. DNSCurve Μαρτίου 12, 2010
    When I wrote my recent blog posting on DNSSEC vs. DNSCurve, I wasn't aware that Paul Vixie had already written his own blog entry on the same subject.  It also explains ISC's stance on DNSCurve.  Recommended reading.

  • Google's RE2 regular expression library Μαρτίου 14, 2010
    Shared by stsimb a new regular expression engine, called RE2, which is based on automata theory and guarantees that searches complete in linear time with respect to the size of the input and in a fixed amount of stack space. Google has announced the release of its RE2 library under a BSDish license. "At Google, we use regular expressions as part of the […]

  • Are Portable Email Addresses Possible? Μαρτίου 14, 2010
    Shared by stsimb An answer to EETT's portable email addresses mandate in Greece (http://www.eett.gr/opencms/opencms/admin/News/news_0068.html) News reports say that the Israeli government is close to passing a law that requires portable e-mail addresses, similar to portable phone numbers. Number portability has been a success, making it much easier to s […]

  • How much do botnets re-use their IPs? Μαρτίου 14, 2010
    Shared by stsimb 1. Spammers do not recycle their IPs amongst the same botnets at regular intervals, at least if the interval is less than one month. They get new ones each day. 2. Spammers do not share IPs amongst each other, at least if the interval is less than one month. 3. It is depressing how many new sources of IPs they are able to get, per day. One o […]
