Charter Telephone reviews, boylston?
by John Stoffel 29 Sep '18

29 Sep '18

Hi, Anyone on here using Charter Telephone VOIP service? I've currently got Verizon, but the wife hates it because our phone lines get flaky all the time, esp when it rains. So I'm thinking to save money and combine all my stuff onto Charter. I've already got High Speed internet and regular old cable. Not wild about Digital Cable since I'm happy with Tivo and I don't want yet another set top box to have to deal with... So, any horror stories about Charter Phone VOIP quality and service? Thanks, John

spamd
by brad 20 May '13

20 May '13

Hi All, i've been getting more spam over the last couple of days. It appears spamd is not running on my ubuntu 10.04 server; however the headers of the spam messages have X-Spam-* flags. I'm not sure what might be adding the spam headers, perhaps its upstream (or clamav). I wanted to start using spam assassin, but that appears to crash when i run the following, which i dug out from the init scripts, sudo /usr/bin/perl -T -w /usr/sbin/spamd --create-prefs \ --max-children 5 --helper-home-dir --pidfile=/var/run/spamd.pid This line results in the following output: May 19 17:50:03.557 [8665] info: rules: meta test T_SUBJ_BRKN_WORDNUMS has dependency 'DKIM_SIGNED' with a zero score May 19 17:50:03.626 [8665] info: collectd: Insecure dependency in connect while running with -T switch at /usr/lib/perl/5.10/IO/Socket.pm line 114. May 19 17:50:03.726 [8665] info: spamd: server started on port 783/tcp (running version 3.3.1) May 19 17:50:03.726 [8665] info: spamd: server pid: 8665 May 19 17:50:03.729 [8665] info: spamd: server successfully spawned child process, pid 8743 May 19 17:50:03.733 [8665] info: spamd: server successfully spawned child process, pid 8744 May 19 17:50:03.736 [8665] info: prefork: child states: IS May 19 17:50:03.736 [8665] info: prefork: child states: II [1] 8665 alarm sudo /usr/bin/perl -T -w /usr/sbin/spamd --create-prefs --max-children 5 I'm not sure what 'alarm' means. I tried running it with debugging messages, none of which seemed useful. Below are the relavent heads from one spam message, X-Virus-Scanned: Ubuntu Server Edition amavisd-new at ithryn.com X-Spam-Flag: NO X-Spam-Score: 3.25 X-Spam-Level: *** X-Spam-Status: No, score=3.25 required=3.5 tests=[BAYES_50=0.8, HTML_MESSAGE=0.001, HTML_MIME_NO_HTML_TAG=0.377, MIME_HTML_ONLY=0.723, RCVD_IN_BRBL_LASTEXT=1.449, SPF_PASS=-0.1] autolearn=no Anyone have advice to get spamd running correctly? thanks, - brad

Scanning someone's head and printing it?
by John Stoffel 14 May '13

14 May '13

Guys, Anyone know of a hacker space or other place in the Worcester/Marlborough area where I can get someone's head scanned to be 3-d printed? I found this one place, http://www.teslaract.org, down in Webster Square, but they seem idle. Thanks, John
