The amount of detail on the Fritz!Box is definitely better than on the Zyxel XMG-3927, I operate both of them (although not as a bridge). In terms of speed, I can't tell, I only used them for a short time on the same line, and the Fritz!Box was a bit faster (But the line was so bad that g.fast didn't provide more total throughput than VDSL2). > > Anybody has any positive/negative experiences and/or other > > recommendations? > > As the FRITZ!Box is a bit overkill, some people mentionned instead > the use of SFP/GBIC converters, but I did not try yet. As far as I know, some or all of them (at least the one which Swisscom delivered as an upgrade to their Internet-Box plus) need special support by the device/router they are plugged in. Therefore you can't just plug them into your switch and connect your router to the switch through ethernet. As a side note, g.fast is very picky about your line quality, optimize _everything_ on the cable connection inside your building which is not part of swisscoms infrastructure. One direct, short, high quality cable from the HüP to an RJ45 plug (no bridged tap), and a short, high quality cable from there to your modem. I you don't get the speed you should by a large margin, complain to Swisscom through your provider. I did so, and in the end Swisscom replaced an old, out of spec landline cable (the outdoor type, where birds can sit on :-) ). Of course, we would all like to have real fiber connections.

[swinog] Mail rejection at bluewin
Hello everybody Since yesterday, we see a lot of bounced messages to bluewin addresses with SMTP code 554, for example: relay=mxbw-bluewin-ch.hdb-cs04.ellb.ch[195.186.227.50]:25, delay=0.16, delays=0/0.01/0.09/0.05, dsn=5.2.0, status=bounced (host mxbw-bluewin-ch.hdb-cs04.ellb.ch[195.186.227.50] said: 554 5.2.0 sc976: Rejected due to policy reasons - https://support.bluewin.ch/provider/bounce/X[redacted]== (in reply to end of DATA command)) Unfortunately, sc976 is not documented on https://postmaster.bluewin.ch/content/de/technical-details/ We can't see any general pattern behind those rejections (hosts trough our entire IP range are affected), switching to a different IP address for delivery works in most cases. Do you see the same and have any insight what is going on here? Greetings Peter ___ swinog mailing list swinog@lists.swinog.ch http://lists.swinog.ch/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/swinog

Let's see how it turns out. I got an answer from the federal prosecutor, unfortunately I was to late and didn't press charges within 3 months after knowing about the offender (Art. 31 StGB). So, if you ever get into a similar situation, don't waste to much time sending letters to the spammer and waiting for answers. I am not happy about that outcome, but there is not much I can do about it. If I understand the letter from the federal prosecutor correctly, the violation of the data protection law was handed off to the Stadtrichteramt Zürich. So, this is still open.

I sent an "Auskunftsbegehren" regarding Spam to the Whois address of rocketsmails.ch in 2018, and I got a first answer by mail (from rocketleads.ch) and later by written letter (after I send them a second registered mail) from the Company Rocket Mails AG.

It's not nice to get noticed about this by your ISP. Don't even think about using the IPv6-stack in those devices, the built- in "firewall" doesn't know anything about IPv6 and lets any traffic pass (and we are back at the open DNS resolver, it is just harder to find and exploit the device over IPv6). Unfortunately, I can't recommand any other brand or device. In general, don't disable NAT on those plastic devices, you are entering badly tested territory.

Re: [swinog] Virtualization for Webhosters / OpenVZ
Hi Philip Am Mittwoch, 4. Mai 2011 schrieb Philip Iezzi: We're looking for a Swiss hosting provider who is actively using such a single kernel virtualization technology. What's your experience with OpenVZ? OpenVZ is running stable, I can't remember any outage because of OpenVZ. How about resource separation of containers (VPS)? Resource separation with the old (2.6.18, working up to the Lenny Release) kernel is ok concerning memory, CPU-time (and number of CPU Cores) as well as disk space. Disk IO is a different story (I think fair limiting of disk IO is hard to implement). The 2.6.18 Kernel no longer works with squeeze. The stock Debian kernel is somehow of a step back, at the moment there is no absolute (Grant only 1 core to a virtual machine) limiting of CPUs or CPU time. Stability is still good, I haven't seen any crash because of OpenVZ. Have you got any experience running complete containers off a NFS-mounted NAS/SAN? There were some bugs with NFS (leading to kernel oops) in the Debian kernel. Please check the bug reports for more details, this may have been fixed with the point release. I have no experience with NAS/SAN. How about performance in a web hosting environment with resource peaks on various servers? We don't do dynamic reallocation of virtual servers based on load or resource peaks, if this was your question. Without a fast Disk subsystem, disk IO will most likely be the limiting factor, unless your software needs a lot of CPU. I can't tell how well the dynamic provisioning of various resources works, because we don't use that (We dont overbook our hardware, the customer always gets what he pays for).

The opposite of good is good intent. As said earlier, IMHO the authorities should purchase the system for all serviceproviders. Why should they? They better invest that money into something usefull, like education, or they could lower the taxes. This is not a matter of marketing, this is too serious. Too serious? Everybody really interested in that stuff will still be able to get it using p2p filesharing (freenet for example supports a darknet mode which allows you to create closed groups with encrypted connections and encrpyted data storage). Everybody else will never see such content. I've seen a lot of legal porn advertisement when searching for technical information on the net, but never any single illegal picture. Like others have mentioned, there are the usual problems of zensorship: You can't check if only bad stuff is being zensored (well, I think nobody of us would want to see that content anyway), it could be used to censor other content (like in that case: http://www.heise.de/newsticker/Schweizer-Richter-ordnet-erneut-Website-Sperrung-an--/meldung/101028). The providers of illegal content are always faster creating new sites then the zensors updating their blocking list. Today we are blaming China for their great firewall. Tomorrow they will tell us they are doing the same thing we are doing - blocking access to content which is illegal by law. Btw: It is interesting that the press release doesn't name which providers are using that WhiteBox. If it is really that great, why don't they say who is using it?
