What I found intriguing was that I was logged out by Google Docs at the same moment FB logged me out. Downdetector showed a number of other supposedly unrelated services with large outage report spikes at roughly the same time. mdr -- "There are no laws here, only agreements." -- Masahiko

The incremental cost of unwanted postal mail deposited in a recycling bin in most US municipalities is 0.% of the monthly charge. The sender is, however, paying USPS for (however degraded) delivery.

If "internal" means a local NTP server independent of external network resources, the other responses are apposite. If "internal" means a stratum 2 NTP server dependent upon other servers on the network, and if you don't need accuracy in single-digit millisecond or better range, we've done well with an older ex-Windows machine that now runs FreeBSD and vanilla NTPD, and is now a pool server at ntp.org. ± six milliseconds, cost approaches the cube root of zero. mdr -- Sometimes half-ass is exactly the right amount of ass. -- Wonderella
Yahoo! security: are there any lights on?
Y! is haemorrhaging PII to me and I cannot figure out how to make it stop. I have an ancient three-letter account (you can easily guess what the three letters are) and hundreds of people have somehow been led to believe that they own and control it, to the point of associating it with their own accounts, using it as a CC in their communication with their attorneys, banks, spouses and other ... persons. Today during our traditional early-morning July 4 breakfast cookout I got an SMS message, purportedly from Y!, that We detected unusual activity on the network. Log in to yahoo.com from the web to unlock your account. This was an out-of-the-blue first event, but there was no mechanism in the message to do anything dangerous. When back at home, logging in to Y! involved additional authentication steps and a mandatory password change. Fair enough. No sign of account access from anywhere unusual. The password change event was sent to the correct linked external accounts. But then, a new and interesting barrage of mail started coming in, indicating that, as suspected, the account associations were indeed being effected without any involvement of myself. For instance: Hi Vince, We detected a login attempt with valid password to your Yahoo! account ([munged by me, but not by Y!]) from an unrecognized device on Thu, Jul 4, 2013 3:56 PM VET. Location: Venezuela (IP=186.88.201.179) Note: The location is based on information from your Internet service or wireless carrier provider. Was this you? If so, you can disregard the rest of this email. (This is interesting and, perhaps, encouraging -- that's one of the cantv.net addresses I've recently seen in compromised Y! account spam headers.) I have never yet succeeded in contacting a live body at Y!. Does anyone know whether the lights are even on, let alone anybody being home? mdr -- There are no laws here, only agreements. -- Masahiko
