SORBS shutting down…and it’s affect…

Posted by Stephen Jakubiec on Jun 24, 2009 in News | Comments Off on SORBS shutting down…and it’s affect…

From SORBS.net:
“It comes with great sadness that I have to announce the imminent closure of SORBS. The University of Queensland have decided not to honor their agreement with myself and SORBS and terminate the hosting contract.

I have been involved with institutions such as Griffith University trying to arrange alternative hosting for SORBS, but as of 12 noon, 22nd June 2009 no hosting has been acquired and therefore I have been forced in to this announcement. SORBS is officially “For Sale” should anyone wish to purchase it as a going concern, but failing that and failing to find alternative hosting for a 42RU rack in the Brisbane area of Queensland Australia SORBS will be shutting down permanently in 28 days, on 20th July 2009 at 12 noon.”

Now the somewhat good news, I stopped using SORBS about 2 years ago…
We use Spamhaus and other things here on inexistence so the spam filtering
shall continue even when SORBS is gone…
Just thought I should allay some fears and clarify a few things on the matter

Well it has been awhile here are some updates to share with you folks:

Debian security updates apache2-mpm-prefork (2.2.9-10+lenny3) is now installed.
Z-Push has been downgraded from svn back to 1.2.2RC
(Proper TimeZone actually set now)
All wordpress blogs that I maintain are now 2.8 with all plugins updated
Roundcubemail is the latest svn pull now
phpmyadmin upgraded to 3.2 and all pma operations are now available
(fixed the privileges)

I think that covers the updates for tonight, hope someone cares…

SSL & Push…

Posted by Stephen Jakubiec on May 30, 2009 in News | Comments Off on SSL & Push…

Well folks I did a bunch of changes this evening:

All ssl enabled hosts moved to the default port (443) we are
now using a wildcard ssl self signed cert (yes it’s naughty.)
I also deployed a new service tonight “Push” for all Exchange
supported “Smart” devices like Blackberries and iPod/iPhone.

The setup is as follows:
Email account: [email protected]
Server: push.inexistence.org
Domain: (Leave this blank)
Username: your username
Password: your password
SSL: Enabled (I only have it enabled for SSL so if you can’t use it sorry!)

I also upgraded Roundcubemail (svn update) again tonight a bunch of
changes came in. I apologize for all the folks who added exceptions for
the SSL certs to their computers. You may now delete them as we’re using
valid certs now instead of the self signed ones…

Enjoy!
