Servers in place

 The servers are in place now. Took some time to find a place to put them, but at last, as they are passively cooled, I had to find an open space for them. The UPS and KVM Switch are of course also available, as a screen and keyboard for admin tasks. Check for yourself.


What you see here, are from top left to bottom right: Routerboard RB493AH Firewall Router (ADSL Modem is hanging on the left side of the Rack), Screen/Keyboard, Philips Skype Telephone.

Hardware moved to new location

 The hardware has been moved to a new location. Up to now - it is in a temporary space which needs to be reworked as soon as a new storage rack has been found. Eventual outages can not be avoided.

Greylisting deactivated

 The test has shown that about 5 Spam-Mails a week get passed the spamassassin with greylisting disabled. The issues with mails not being delivered immediatley due to greylisting, in case the sender is not in the users whitelist, was beginning to be a big hassle for everyone.
So - the decision has been taken to disable greylisting completely.

Greylisting deactivated temporarily

Stargate Icon

 as Spammers do more and more count on greylisting, I decided to remove greylisting for a while to see if it changes anything on the hit-rate of the installed anti-spam engine.
If the results are similar to those achieve with greylisting - the former will stay disabled for the future as of no use any longer.

Stargate Backup scripts updated

Stargate Icon

 The latest stargate backup-script has been uploaded to the download section. Some bugfixes have been added, but also some new feature. Main is the capability for the system to perform mysql backup dump on a live Mysql DB, and the system will only backup (in incremental mode) the mysql-files/dumps that have changed since last backup-run.
The FAQ Section still needs to reflect these capabilities though.

 A new eBook section has been added to the FAQ. Notably about the PRS-505 eBook Reader from sony. This is a nice little device which can make travel life lighter, especially if you have to travel a lot around, and want to take loads of books with you.
The FAQ will provide some hints on what you can do with that little device, mainly provide links to projects to make life easier if you don't want to be bou...

New redirect function active

PHP development

 A new redirect function has been activated on Stargate.
To prevent 404 error messages to users having found links about my old site, I decided to implement a redirection function which notifies the user-browser with a little 301 messages. A 301 Moved Permanently message will be returned to the browser including the new URL on where the original data was, and if the browser is handling this correctly, will automatically redirect the request to the local resource.
The 301 message is...

 the timesheet module for phobos has been released. Even though it's in early stage development, most features are already available. It actually is the attempt to port the PAZE for OpenOffice from Uwe Schoeler to a Web-Based interface, by adding some lacking features due to the nature of Spreadsheets, like multi-entries per day, translations and replicate existing functionality like statistics and analysis views, dedicate pront view...

New router in place

 After some time of tweaking, I came to the conclusion to get a new router for my home-network.
Wanting to keep the old infrastructure and compatibility to my scripts etc. - I decided to go to use the RB493AH router from routerboard. It's similar to the old RB153 - however has 9 Ethernet ports (10/100), and a way faster CPU (can be configured to run at up to 800MHz, 640MHz default). It actually took me around 15Minutes this week-end to adapt the configuration (Ethernet interfaces and firew...

Spam level decreased drastically

 after having initiated several actions to decrease spam-level, the results have been very positive.
Despit the increased number of Bot-drones on the Internet, the spam level has decreased considerable (more than 25%). The actions taken were notably:

  • Instore Greylisting
  • Configure Postfix to be very restrictive in SMTP-Header and enforce Communication protocol
  • make the solsys.org domain a secret-registered domain - this to prevent everyone to see my details on r...
