If you are trying to prevent dhcp from overwriting your DNS entries in /etc/resolv.conf on Redhat/Fedora, just add the following line to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (or whatever dynamic interface you use):
new_domain_name_servers="192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.3"
Or whatever nameservers you use. Just restart your network interface and the change will be applied.
Apparently I am Lawrence Obi. Which Nigerian spammer are You?
Gentoo: Linux for those who just can't seem to waste enough time.
Just reading through the Fedora Core 2 test 1 release announcment thread on Slashdot. Seems that every other thread is about how much fun it is to compile all your packages for i686 and gain minimal speed increases after waiting hours for it to complete. I'd say that Gentoo is the home for the Linux zealot/purist crowd. No regular user wants to be bothered with compiling. Heck, even I hate compiling.
So yeah. I've been fired.
So the server had to be relocated. As a result, lots of stuff is in a weird state right now. Most things should be up an running properly again, but I'm still working out some DNS quirks and an email problem. If you happen to notice something odd or wrong, please let me know and I'll try to get it worked out asap.
Know anyone in the Fox Cities (Appleton/GreenBay) or Twin Cities areas looking for a Network Administrator with 6 years experience working for an ISP? Let me know.
Rejoice all you noobs who hate patching and recompiling as I do:
I've recompiled the Gaim 0.75 FC1 RPMs with the recently released security patch. You can get them here.
And there was much rejoicing.
Update 2/5: Win32 (Windows) builds are now available! Refer to the above link for the installers.
Update 2/6: For all you Yahoo freaks :-) Both the RPM and EXE builds are now patched with Amatus' new Yahoo re-implementation patch (found here).. Therefore Yahoo is now functional again.
Compare the "filtered" (links specifically not excluded) rankings for Miserable Failure against the standard unfiltered rankings for the same search. Now Google, why would the ranks for the same search differ? Hmmmmmm?
Sounds like there's some covert political motives within Google.
Update 2/2: Just got an email from Aaron at the MFP this morning. He seems to think it's just a Google quirk and says that the rankings have been screwed up all week.
Another disk has been turned up on the server, and the space has been dedicated for website usage. The size of the disk is 12G formatted.
ALSO, I've added a Server Status block to the right-hand side of this page. You may refer to this at any time to see the current server status. Update 2/2: I just realized today that the memory status was showing the memory free and not the memory used. This is fixed now.
Just an FYI to all that care, I had to reboot the sever tonight. Somebody filled up the disk and things were probably in a weird state.
Guess I should get those other two disks up and running.
There's an interesting tool that spam proofs your email address for web usage called the Email Obfuscator.
I gotta see if I can put something like this into PHP-Nuke.
Obligatory Holmstadt .com link. Google fodder really. Need to up that Google ranking ;-)
My brother just sent me a link to some ads from Consumer Freedom .com. They make some very intelligent points. I'd like to see more of these ads.
Mmmm. Meat.
Posers better recognize! Dork.
If you're like me and log nearly every violation of the firewall using iptables rules, you've probably seen these violations on the console. This can be annoying if you are trying to actually use the console for something productive :-)
Here's how to turn up the severity level of logging on the console so that only more important messages get logged:
In /etc/sysconfig/syslog, change the following
KLOGD_OPTIONS="-x"
to
KLOGD_OPTIONS="-x -c 4"
This will drop the log level to 4 (from 7 I think) and will only log kernel mesages of this level or lower (higher severity). Presumably, you could turn off console logging entirely by using 0, but I haven't tested this.
I swear those feminazis at PETA must have brain damage from lack of proper nutrition. Check out this pamphlet from PETA: Your Mommy Kills Animals (original). I'd think it's funny (Mmm. Rabbit meat tastes like chicken), except for the fact that this was targeted at small children, and makes outright lies about parents.
These people are only stopping short of making threats on our lives. And of course, they'd think that's justifiable.
Check out this "Google" search result for the phrase French Military History.
People keep asking me for the specs on the server:

Drive 2: 7.2 GB (Offline)
Drive 3: 13.0 GB (Offline)
Drive 4: CD-RW DriveRedhat Linux 9 (Kernel 2.4.20)

Here's an interesting video documentary done by Right March about an Anti-Anti-War protest that took place recently on the mall in D.C.
Pay attention to who is actually backing these "anti-war" protests.
From the "Why Microsoft software reeks" dept:
Apparently Microsoft figured that it was time to obsolete another product and force it's users to otherwise pointlessly spend money. FrontPage 98 does NOT work with FrontPage 2002 extensions (which are installed on the server). So either upgrade, or actually learn how to properly write a website.
...n00b.
Some cheap-arse geocities
page. Billy Stalker? Nice photoshopping,
tard. Stumble around this site a while. It becomes apparent after a few
links that these people just like to hear themselves expel verbal
diarrhea. Get a life. And get your own name.
