When I first heard that Steve Jobs was dead, I shrugged and carried on working. I never met him or interacted with him in any way, and he had little impact on my life; it’s sad that he’s dead, in the general way that it’s sad when anyone dies, but I have no context for [...]
A bittersweet afternoon: I just completed migration of my mail server from Mandriva 2010.1 to Fedora 15. MDV 2010 is out of support now, I don’t trust MDV 2011. I could’ve gone with Mageia, but it just seemed simpler to stick to Fedora for everything. So now all of my personal machines and servers are [...]
Just a quick note that I’ve updated the SSL cert for happyassassin.net. It’s still self-signed and hence you’ll have to allow an override if you want to use https to connect to the site for some reason, but at least it’s not expired any more, and has a ‘correct’ CN, so if you’re using Convergence, [...]
Just a quick reminder that it’s still Graphics Test Week here at Fedora QA towers – thanks to everyone who came along to nouveau Test Day yesterday! Today is Radeon Test Day, and tomorrow will be Intel graphics Test Day. More details in this post.
Sorry for the short notice everyone, but this week is Graphics Test Week again. It’s time to make sure the major graphics drivers are in shape for Fedora 16. Tomorrow, 2011-09-06, is Nouveau Test Day. Wednesday, 2011-09-07, is Radeon Test Day. And Thursday, 2011-09-08, is Intel graphics Test Day. All the events take place in [...]
There has to be, but I don’t know what it is, and I wish to be informed. Especially you, science-y types. So, today apparently someone came out with a study which says that CEOs with big heads are great. No, really. Now, this sort of thing happens all the time. It’s often reported as ‘having [...]
So, this makes diagnosis fun: * 2011-08-24: Apache 0-day DoS disclosed * 2011-08-25: Adam switches his web server to Fedora * 2011-08-25 and 2011-08-26: Adam’s web server goes unresponsive with httpd getting OOMkilled So…either there’s some bug in my Fedora setup or some skiddie decided it’d be really useful to humanity in general to DoS [...]
Sorry if you were having trouble accessing the site for a few hours; last night my internet connection went down, and this morning I’ve been migrating the server from Mandriva to Fedora. MDV 2010.1 is going EOL, I don’t particularly trust MDV releases from 2011 on now that everyone left and went to Mageia. I [...]
Well, this is one of those ideas that seems awesome in the shower, so I figured I’d write it down before I forgot about it. If you read this blog regularly – well, see a psychiatrist, but you’ll also be aware of my various frustrations in finding a personal groupware setup which meets my own [...]
I’m back on my ‘personal egroupware’ kick. Here’s a simplified version: can someone point me at a F/OSS to do list web app? I want one that I run on my own server, not some company which runs one for me. So, basically, Remember The Milk, but the actual server code, not just a service [...]
