Here's a signed commit I pushed in January to see if they'd recognise it:

https://github.com/fincham/test-signed-repo/commit/9d6e807d9...

Now shows a little "Verified" badge. Very nice!

Have you tried Sylpheed? It's like mutt for GTK.

Cheers. Sounds promising :)

What I'm interested in is running Debian and X on the watch... any pointers?

Could you link the GEM sources? I used GEM a long time ago and would love to have a look.

What is Spark? Google turns up a bunch of projects called that.

Do you run your own loomio or use the hosted service?

Come on folks, don't just list the command line tools that come with your Linux distro :)

Let's talk about the big packages that bring value to organisations.

RT from BestPractical https://www.bestpractical.com/rt/. Extremely extensible and robust, can be used for all kinds of things beyond just ticket tracking (change control approval workflows, knowledge bases, asset tracking, CRM and automation plugins). The king of ticket trackers, could be at the heart of any organisation.

Prosody https://prosody.im/. Open source XMPP server with support for MUCs and all the usual XMPP stuff. Best way for teams to communicate. Extend it with plugins for your NMS and so on to get alerts in realtime.

Nagios https://www.nagios.org/. Solid (if a little fiddly) monitoring / alerting solution. Works best if you write your own plugins and use check_by_ssh instead of NRPE.

bcfg2 http://bcfg2.org/. Configuration management that makes sense. Tidy and well defined "model" for how configuration should be managed, sensible defaults and a bunch of useful powerful features.

I could go on but there are some of my all-time favourites.

Here's my attempt at partially automating this process for replacing Debianish systems remotely with Debian by launching the installer initrd with kexec: https://github.com/fincham/kexec-remote-debian-install

Works on DigitalOcean etc.

As I understand previously only C1 was used. The range has been expanded now though you'd have to read the code to see exactly what it's doing.

It seems to produce acceptable power draw figures on a ThinkPad X250 in any case.

The devs advise that there are still some problems with suspend / resume while 3D acceleration is in use. I imagine this should be fixed before 5.9 is released.

I also didn't run in to this bug.

Edit: Also didn't test Bluetooth or WWAN.

CPU power management support has improved in 5.8. Better ACPI support and the drivers now use more lower-power C states.

"acpicpu(4) uses ACPI C-state information to reduce power consumption of idle CPUs. "

Can confirm that snapshots from December run almost flawlessly already on an X250. Great work OpenBSD team and roll on 5.9.

I've said it before but I'll say it again:

Good checklist of things a potential "reformed SMTP" needs to do.

I have one of these machines and it's been great fun so far to hack on. The development process and the continuing work of the community has been great to be a part of.

I will see if I can get it tidied up enough I'd be comfortable sharing :)

There are several slightly less hardcore alternatives to Mutt for those wanting a more modern e-mail experience without the security baggage of running an entire browser. Sylpheed for instance is a very pleasant text-only MUA (http://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/en/). For added peace of mind it does not take long to write an AppArmor profile to further confine Sylpheed to just the parts of your filesystem you'd like it to be able to access.

The kind of folks running TextSecure have already made an effort to install a replacement messaging application, hopefully this helps them also pay attention to the warning.

If nothing else it'll slightly slow down a worm utilising this exploit...

The MendelMax 1.5 kit you list is not a complete 3D printer - it would be a steal at $105 otherwise :)

Is Dvorak really, scientifically better?

I have several objections to this, but one of the largest is that while the current Tarsnap site looks eminently trustable, the suggested replacement screams I WAS MADE FROM A TEMPLATE. THIS SITE IS A SCAM.

Would you mind clarifying what you mean by "second entry"?

Suggestion: if your network provider's recursive DNS service sucks so much that you cannot bear to use it (and even if it doesn't, quite frankly) your next best bet is probably to install unbound (https://unbound.net/) listening on localhost on your workstation.

Not only does this give you known-good DNS resolution, but you can also enable DNSSEC validation and be fairly confident that it'll actually do its job in preventing your local machine from resolving poisoned zones.

Have a look at http://craphound.com/spamsolutions.txt and make sure you can rebut all the points :)

... no it isn't? :)

Huh? Is that new? Can I turn it off?

This is lovely. It seems to bug out in Firefox 25 when I switch away from the tab it's on - any debugging info that would be useful?

Click "A". Double click "BASICA.COM". Click OK.

Type:

  load "b:\donkey.bas"
  run

Enjoy the fruits of Bill's labour :)

Doesn't seem to work in Gecko based browsers :(
