Updates 12-21-2009

All WordPress installs I manage are now 2.9.
All svn pulls are current as of now.
apt-get update/upgrade/dist-upgrade done as well.
So yeah things are up to date again…

So maybe back to Borderlands eh?

Google Voice…

Hey Folks,
Just added the Google Voice call widget here…
You can leave a voicemail there whenever an issue arises and I will take care of it ASAP.

SPF, DKIM, Mail Changes

I’ve implemented spf tags onto inexistence mail to help with spam filtering
(I’m currently just marking headers not failing stuff).

I’ve also implemented DKIM signatures for select domain names.
(Also not failing unsigned domains and all domains are in test mode).

But if you were expecting an email and haven’t received it and
they have confirmed they sent it please let me know…
I know internally there are no email problems so I will receive your notifications.

Thanks!

PS. If you all of a sudden cannot use your email client of choice
set the auth to LOGIN sometimes called PASSWORD
do not use the MD5 / NTLM stuff as you’ll need my help.

My bad…

The other day you may have noticed that you couldn’t view any websites hosted.

It was my fault I did an apt-get upgrade (which included php5 updates)
and the reason it broke is we use eAccelerator. And the issue was I didn’t recompile
and link it to the updated php5 of course I’ve done so since then.

So yeah did an apt-get upgrade
PhpMyAdmin is updated
svn updates were applied

And that is all for tonight…

Multi-core…

Well as Inexistence runs on a Multi-core processor thanks to DaVs…
I’ve been experimenting with what support Linux has for it…

Taskset was my discovery first thing…

So I’m proud to say we’re actually using the cores more efficiently now.
For example the Neverwinter Nights 1 server we’ve been running gets to
play with core 4 all by itself, Core 3 has all the xinetd processes, etc…

Seems to make things more snappy now…

Enjoy!

PS. I also did some wordpress plugin updates for you folks and optimized
some memory usage issues hope everyone is enjoying the services!

Pure-ftpd 1.0.27…

I noticed we were quite behind in the pure-ftpd versions (1.0.22) so I upgraded to 1.0.26 tonight.
What this means if ftp is once again better performing try out FTP+TLS sometime it’s a lot faster…

Just a heads up update…

– Updated to 1.0.27 yesterday and as it doesn’t really require a new post I edited this one. (Dec 14, 2009)

Updates 11-18-2009

And the updates for today are:

All WordPress installs are up to date.
SVN pulls have been done.
apt-get update / dist-upgrade has been done.

IPV6 is coming back soon just have to re-enable the tunnel.

On a side note I’m playing around with the idea of dovecot or another wu-imapd
replacement, I’ll let you know what I decide.

IPV6 Experiment on Hiatus…

The ipv6 experiment is over as I had to switch back to our old router as DaVs needed the airport extreme.
The reason this breaks ipv6 is the current build of dd-wrt I’m using does not support it.

When I get the time I’ll update to a version that does support it….

And the difference being is I know dd-wrt supports ipv6 a lot better than apple does for the router.
Aka tunnelbroker will be back and pointing to inexistence in the future…

Side effect though ftp + tls works again thanks to using dd-wrt!

PS. All things upgraded tonight (apt-get and svn pulls)

Well Folks,

Roundcube is once again svn current. (And all hosts default to ssl encrypted logins)

PS. Anyone interested in an openid server?

IPv6…

I’m currently fiddling with IPv6 support for Inexistence.

I’ve enabled it for this blog technically now…
You can reach it via this crazy link.

I’ve yet to setup hostname mapping and the like so it just does a redirect to here…
