For a long time now it's becoming a real nuisance to self host
  email servers. You need a static IP with clean / good reputation +
  nspf, dkim, dmarc and all that while most your mail will be routed
  trough google anyway. It's probably only worth it for big setups
  or educational purposes.
  
  As you only send to yourself, why go through a third party at all?
  Maybe go for a KISS setup answering: How do I get a message from
  the server to wherever I need it. Does it have to be email at all?
  The options are vast depending on your specific needs. 



You can always use a different gmail account to send from the
  server.

New Modem Router Recommendations?

2020-05-21 Thread vordoo

  
  

  Hi, 
  
  
  
  Think I'm down to: TP-Link TD-W9970 vs D-Link DSL-224. Any
recommendations/thoughts/war-story's are highly appreciated.
Sadly they both do not support dd-wrt or open-wrt, it looks like
no ADSL modem does these days, so that will need an extra box.

I do not really care for Hebrew or NIS payments, but do for the

  and/or Hebrew, via email, web-ticket, phone or fax :-) I could
  care less. Most impotent is avoiding those interfaces that flash
  & up-sell more then serve the point you originally came to use
  them.



Sadly, it looks like with an IL-registrar you only get to pay
  more & get the same or less service wise. Really hope someone
  can debunk me on that.

This works fine with a standard phone charger cable - Male Micro USB

But since I didn't want the long cable, I thought I could replace it
with an OTG adapter + a Male-Male USB connector. This DOES NOT work -
probably because the 5th pin of the OTG adapter is connected to ground. 

My question: does anyone know where I can find a male micro to

Re: moving Kubuntu to a new drive

Hi,


My 2c...



Stop using the bad HDD ASAP. Verify you have all your data from
  your backups first. If you are missing data from the backups,
  restore from the bad HDD first. This restoration is best left for
  professionals or a long read-up on ddrescue or there like. You
  will be advised to go for a fast grab of the most impotent files
  --via single file or partition acquisition, depending on
  circumstances, flowed by an obnoxious reread of failing blocks.

Once you have verified you have all the data, you can choose:

1. Do a fresh system install and backup restore. It should be the
fastest solution. If you have prepared a Bash or Ansible script, or
at least an application list, it is a sure bet. Even if not, it may
be faster then copying bit by bit the hole file system, but this
depends...

2. Go for copping from the bad HDD. As cp, dd or CloneZillaing will
fail on bad block reads, and you know you have them, go with
ddrescue full oldHDD to newHDD. First a "quick run" get all good
block fast. Second retry on bad blocks hopefully you can get it all
out. If you are missing a few blocks you can go figure out what
files used them, or forget abut them and diff important directories
with the backups. You can ddrescue partitions but as the swap is
small 'compared' I would go the full disk to disk.




HTH,

Hi there!

For many years I had a fixed IP address using Bezeq International. I 
used it to access my home computer while on the road.
I tried to upgrade from 30Mb to 100Mb (they even sold it to me) just 
to find out
that they cannot configure 100 Mb if I use HOT as the cable and if I 
have a fixed IP.


So I was thinking on giving up the fixed IP and use some kind of 
Dynamic DNS scheme
to be able to access my home computer. Will I still be able to do 
that? Will I still get a publicly routable IP or will that be already 
a NAT that I won't be access from outside?


Use http://www.duckdns.org and you should be fine (As long as you do not 
run a mail server because a dynamic IP may get blacklisted).
How dynamic is the IP they hand out. Can it change within a session or 
only if I restart the router?
It depends and changes from time to time "dynamic" as you said ;-). It 
can change within a session but that means you get disconnected and 
doesn't happen a lot.


Any experience with this?

Yes read above :-)

  In general the phones try to protect their memory from

at the same time and stepping on each other is avoided (back
in the symbian days it used to unmount the memory card in
the phone while it allowed the computer to access it,
nowadays MTP is usually used to allow the storage to remain
in complete control of the phone).

  
  If you aren't afraid of opening your phone and soldering you
  will probably find it has debug ports/jtag which would allow
  you to dump the contents of the memory, there may also be a
  recovery mode...

  

Will be happy to --open solder, if only I can find how the jtag (or
whatever) works on this phone. I have been told that it may be
encrypted by default.

Buy/build an antenna. The one on the roof
  probably isn't tuned to the right freq., but you can try it (as
  the dongle
  only receives no harm can be done), once you get a connector from
  an electronic supply store(downtown TLV or muser etc. on the net).

  Hi,


I'm asking here since I saw that quiet a few members here
  mentioned using things like this in the past.


I bought a USB DVB dongle for my Cubox-I running OpenELEC
  (here is the item on ebay: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/251537079924)
  and although it's well supported and the kernel recognises it
  without a hitch, scanning for channels (both through tvheadend
  and command line w_scan) can't lock on any channels.


I live less than 2 km from the antennas which broadcast to
  all of Sydney (~80km radius service area).


According to the instructions at http://baratel.com/guides/mythTV.htm,
  the internal antenna which comes with such dongles is
  worthless for more than 500m.


But the antenna input socket is not the standard wide one
  (e.g. like the one you can see in this wikipedia image: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coaxial_cable#mediaviewer/File:N_Connector.jpg)
  but something that looks like 1 mm headphone jack with an itsy
  bitsy hole in the middle.
  
  
  Does anyone know how can I extend the reception for this
baby?
  
  
  I think of two main options:
  
  
  1. Connect it to "normal"/"common" coaxial wall socket,
so I can take advantage of the antenna on the roof.
  2. Buy a bigger internal antenna which can connect to
this weird jack.
  
  
  Any pointers would be appreciated.

Yep, but now you are back to scanning only 1024 ports, instead of

On a PC/SOHO setup -- where most data is "held by the user anyway"--
user & root are "closer", so you probably gain security by a
random high port. In a large network maybe not. 
(setups in between have some hard thinking to do, and/or test with a

You can always port foreword a high non-privileged port on a router

Hi,
  
  Hopefully you will get or find a striate answer but as I follow
  this question for a long time with no actionable resoles I would:
  
  1. Rephrase the question to: "Is anyone hear using or knows
  someone who uses a linux desktop application (not a web based
  site) for an IL business accounting?"
  
  2. Consider using the old windows program in a virtual machine, it
  maybe even better then the present setup, as you can access it
  from other PCs in the network.

Re: Linux friendly NAS or networked drive/raid - perhaps wireless

2013-10-06 Thread vordoo

  
  
Short answer:

  
- cheaper than dirt, or at least double digits, not triple
  (in dollars)

  

Sorry this is not going to happen, adjust the figure & come back
later. 

Lookup one of the 'of the shelf' -W.D My Books, or whatever, home
NAS  systems. You can get or build one like these, copy all your
data:
- Slowly by browsing to the home-NAS web interface from your old
devices or PCs.
- Faster by connection to the home-NAS file share OR direct
connecting a USB adapter from home-NAS to the old IDE's or SD-cards.


If you D.I.Y you may get a better system. Maybe combine a new
router/firewall in the NAS to solve the two network, wired &
WiFi, problem. but the price will be more or less the same.


Because ->...

Long Answer:
  


  - if it can handle IDE drives it would be awesome -
all my old drives are IDE , and it would be nice to continue
using them. 

  

Nope, it probably will be a bad idea to use the old disks, instead
of buying a one new big efficient HD:
- It will cost you more money to connect & use the old ones. If
you have a motherboard that can accept all of them, it will use a
lot more electricity, if you do not have one it will cost you on top
of that to get the old one's even connected.
- It will make a lot more noise, heat and you pay for damping &
cooling it.
- They are old & getting older, they are going to die soon, you
do back up:-)


  
If not, I need a solution to connect the older drives - at
  least so I can transfer the data without taking apart an older
  computer and physically mounting each drive.  

  

Your home-NAS will have it setup for you, by using NFS, SMB or a web
interface, whether built from scratch -running your own linux server
& services on hardware similar to the one's that are suggested
for FreeNAS projects, or proprietary solution. 

After you have setup the file share in the NAS, SAN or whatever you
can boot your old device/PC and move the data to the share:
- Slowly by browsing to the home-NAS web interface from your old
devices or PCs.
- Faster by connection to the home-NAS file share 
OR 
Take out the old IDE's, SD-card or whatever holds your data and plug
it with a USB adapter to the home-NAS.

See:  Open source implementations FreeNas, Openindiana,
Owncloud (not exactly a NAS but you may like it). And proprietary
solutions, W.D. My book or whatever.

  
- 2 drives (maybe more?)
  

Yep, but... as you ask that it be cheap, make sure you address the
backup before you spend on redundant disks -AS THEY ARE NOT
BACKUPS!. And, in today high density disks era, you DO NOT
use raid 5 -It is statistically & practically granted to
fail. Go for raid 1, 6 or 10.


  

- accessible by both wired and wireless connections, if
  possible
  

No problem, see above.

  
Questions:


1. What do I do if my wireless router has two IP networks,
  one for the wired computers and the other for the wireless (a
  real situation and also a real pain in the ass - wired
  computers and laptops could not reach one another)?

  

- You have an option in the router to use only one network or brig
the mandatory two.
- You have an option to change/upgrade the firmware to one that can
do the above. See: OpenWRT, DD-WRT, Tomato, etc.
- Get a new router or build a home-NAS that is a router too.
- Brig the networks on another device, build a home-NAS that is a
brig for the two networks.

  
2. Is there a simple way - or any way - to connect to the
  drive from several networks (because the cell phones have a
  different IP address, and also the wired and wireless devices
  might have separate IP addresses)?
  

Yes, you share the drive & connect with web or brig the
networks,  see above. 


HTH,

4. I'll still need to manage multiple virtual mail domains. I would very
much require catch-all addresses and mail-EXT@domain extensions because
me and my current users rely heavily on that.

5. I want a modern, web-managed list server.

6. I like managing my mail in tagged conversations rather than
folder-sorted messages. I hope to find a webUI that will do that for me.
I have not yet looked into the latest versions og IMP, roundcube,

Yes, you buy a copy, if you can find one. It was phaseout time for
winXP a long time ago, so maybe at yad2 or ebay. You need the
consumer version i.e: not OEM. You may have better lucky with win7/8.

I have a similar one marked as 1500 mAh that gives my Galaxy S a 50-60%
charge. So since this is marked 2800 mAh, I'd guess it would give a
full charge. And it's only $11, including shipping to Israel.

What does the mAh have to do with a full charge? I though that was a
volt thing.

As I see it, the problem is maintaining the site, not the
initialization of it. Are crowd is small, the world is big, English
wise.

  


* A hardware DB where they can look up a device by
  category (i.e. Motherboard) and check the compatibility sorted
  by distro etc.
  

Google it, coping vendor specifications to the site is probably, not
the idea, and if there are no vendor specifications are are site
will have less then the net.

  


* A list of Israeli Linux friendly vendors
  (including vendors outside Israel that are willing to ship
  their products to Israel hustle free).
  

There are one and a half  Pre-installed Linux PC/Laptops ready for
shipment. But, by the time one of us gets an experience of the
ordeal, it will not be relevant to another. First two in
http://linuxpreloaded.com ie. System76, ZaReason are the famous
ones, don't know if and how it gets to IL, but even if I did it
would probably not be relevant to the next guys' purchase. How often
do we as a community do that? We would be better of just searching
"Pre Installed Linux Desktop" & contacting one off the sites
from http://linuxpreloaded.com.

  


* Distro specific Installation Guides, pointing
  out any common pitfalls.
  

There are tones of sites for that, sum in Hebrew, which I think is a
shame because of the reasons above. Computer installations is
English it would be better if all those sites would do only the
Hebrew specific sitings & problem solving.    

  


Such sites might exist out there in the Net, 
  

Yep, we have a lot of redundancy, we do not need to duplicate the
web.

  
but none of them are Israeli  specific or in
  Hebrew and don't hold all the a fore mentioned features in one
  place...
  

Face it  IT/SYSADMIN is in English.

Let us also not allow the best to become the enemy of the

  should not stop us from addressing the current problem and
  issue.



  2. Give me/us the address to complain to the NII and I will
  write them as well. Maybe one address for the tech support
  guys, and another for consumer complaints.


3. While I agree with you on the priority, the usage level,
  in my eyes, is vastly different. We use the NII , online, a
  few times a year at most, while, if we listen to Israeli radio
  or watch TV shows, you'd use the site several times a day at
  least.



As you know, the multiple of the level of nuisance and
  its probability is what adds up to impact, so it may well be
  that IBA, a minor frequent nuisance, is more pressing than the
  rare, more serious one of the NII.
  

This is not a one site vs. another doing a favor for a small user
groups. It's about a general law, rule, norm that should have been
developed in the social/political realm. If it would have been, the
country, private business, general public, would have ADHERE TO
STANDARDS (as you wrote), and restrain from using solutions that
require people to use proprietary, paid for or not devices/software.
needless to say that in a few rare cases with really good reason
there may be exceptions to this -probably what the dunces in NII
& IBA see in there case, if they can see at all.

I think it is all water under the bridge now. More and more users
including the management of the sites themselves are using Droids,
chromes etc. and are getting bit daily by there incompetent
solutions. I would think they are on top of the problem, of fixing
the sites, as budget permits. On the other hand they're way behind
at understanding, let alone admitting, there wrong doing that got
them & us to this state in the first place. We could scream
harder or differently in the next run, but I doubt it -regretfully
we are not pros in the political realm:-)

Yep, that's the official way, you can also use the vmware migration

If you have only got the original HD, it's best to attach it to a

and boot directly into safe mode(F8) -in order to run the migration

Yep, you can RAID(1,5,10,6) the HD's as appropriate (i.e. see:

use with SAMBA on a minimal stable Linux distro. If you need more,

Yes, you should select the best RAID sys for the H.D's size and

While I can certainly see what's broken with it for using a regular

difficulties this may cause, do you see anything specific that will break
in the use case of a production server?

  
  
Let me offer another completely different idea, without any kills and
similar tricks: End your ~/.profile with "screen -R -D"

What will this do?

The login shell will start screen(1), and let the admin work in it.
If another admin logs in, he doesn't just kill the existing session - he
also takes over the existing instance of "screen", and can see what the
other admin was in the middle of doing.

+1 for screen, but maybe without the kill stuff. If there is a
screen session going on, spring-up a new user session with a MOD
notification, this way the admin can coordinate killing his
colleague or working simultaneously, if the job permits.   

   

This "screen" will also allow the admin to have multiple screens - which
you prevent him from doing with several separate sshs, so he'll
appreciate "screen" anyway.

If you don't know screen(1), I suggest you learn it - it is an
absolutely wonderful tool.

If your main rational is: Getting programs online involves a lot

I do think part of your rational, for

 wanting it off

1. You are the institute overseeing the course i.e: you are

extent if they are located         on or off campus.
2. Surely you guys can isolate an on campus web server from the

I think we're missing something here - maybe you didn't actually write
1234, but a password containing an exclamation point ("!")? 
The "event not found" suggests there is an explanation point: Look at
this:

$ bash
$ echo hi!hello
bash: !hello: event not found
$ echo "hi!hello"
bash: !hello": event not found
$ echo hi\!hello
hi!hello
$ password="hi!hello"
bash: !hello": event not found
$ password="hi\!hello"
$ echo $password
hi\!hello

So, as you can see, bash sucks seriously in this regard - it forces you
to quote the "!", but then you are left with that quote...

The good news, is that this suckiness only happens for interactive
shells, not in shell scripts. In an interactive shell, you can use "set +H"
to disable this behavior:

$ set +H
$ password="hi!hello"
$ echo $password
hi!hello

  Hi,


I'm looking to do something that is easy in MS Access on a Linux system
(using FOSS preferably).


I have a RIGHT TO LEFT XLS file containing some fields that are
English, some that are Hebrew and some that are mixed text. I would
like to create an SQL database of that file with the least
understanding of SQL, basically a point and click front end is what I
need.


Then I want to do the same thing with a LEFT TO RIGHT English CSV file
of similar information.


Once I have those, I want to be able to search, produce reports and
compare (as in tell me all in one but not the other) and so on. All
with a point and click interface.


Any suggestions.


Thanks in advance,


Geoff.

Re: I have an unused shrink-wrapped router I want to sell

2011-02-20 Thread vordoo

I hope it is not shrink-wrapped, for real, as it will keep the moisture in. 
Moisture will cause corrosion & || rust.

It is a D-Link DIR-615, a wireless N 300 router, still virgin and shrink- 
wrapped, and I want to sell it. 

This is not a modem-router combo, but if you need an ADSL/Cable modem 
("Pre-owned", works fine) ai can sell you.

Hebrew on Slackware 9.1

2003-10-21 Thread vordoo
Hi,  
  
I have never install/used Hebrew on my Linux sys.  
  
I'm abut to install a new slackware 9.1 sys. 
and would like to have Hebrew working on it later on.
  
First I got to get the computer up & running so I
would appreciate any recommendations on what to select
at set up time (Israel keyboard? Hebrew keyboard? &
what so ever) so my Hebrew setup later will be fast &
easy.
 
I would like Hebrew on the console as well as window
mangers as Blackbox etc. 
(I understand that on KDE it is simpler) 
 
Thanks, 
Jeff
