Re: [BLUG] FW: Ohio LinuxFest 2007 - Registration Open

Right, what I'm trying to figure out is why they show up as invalid in G-mail.

FireGPG sez: "The first signature of this mail is not valid!"

Re: [BLUG] FW: Ohio LinuxFest 2007 - Registration Open

It says "Good signature" which means it is valid and good.

It is untrusted because no one you trust has signed the signature to
validate its authenticity.

There's a circle of trust thing going on. A key, in isolation, can not
be trusted.

Any public key passed over the Internet in an unsigned manner should not
be trusted. Keys should only arrive either (1) in person, as in a key
signing party, or (2) signed by someone you have personally exchanged
keys with at a key signing party.

Cheers,
Steven Black

Fire GPG doesn't even see your signature, but Enigmail in TB says:

OpenPGP Security Info

Well, that seems to have worked (can verify in Outlook), at least for
me... so let me ask this... Does anyone know of a way to make
Thunderbird send deleted messages to a folder besides the local Trash
folder? The main reason I don't use TB "full-time" is because of this
and the way it screws up synchronization with my Blackberry. If I
delete a message and it goes into the Deleted Items folder on the
Exchange Server, it'll be deleted appropriately on my handheld. If I
delete it using Thunderbird, it doesn't seem to notice that it's been
deleted.

It seems to - I was able to verify the signature on this message, but
not the previous messages.

No idea... I can't verify it in Outlook ("no valid openpgp data found")
but it shows a good signature using Thunderbird. This message is being
sent using TB as well, so I'll see if that makes a difference.

True... not sure what's up. Thought it might be something funky with my
Outlook + GnuPG settings, but if I send an off-list e-mail to another
e-mail account and open the message using Thunderbird over IMAPS, it
shows a good signature...

You can set your default key in your gpg.conf. Going from memory, but I
think it's just:

Re: Key Server WAS: Re: [BLUG] FW: Ohio LinuxFest 2007 - Registration Open

I am kind of scared of a key server. A few years back there was a hole
found in PGP keys that would allow (the ADK problem maybe), but it
rendered the keys on most keyservers untrustworthy. While I love the
idea of more ppl using encryption, it needs to be trustworthy.

Anyways, just my two cents.

Thank you,

Re: [BLUG] FW: Ohio LinuxFest 2007 - Registration Open

Impressive. Someone had quite a bit of time on there hands there...

What would be REALLY impressive would be programming it to scan
sheet-music on one pass and then play it on a second pass.

Or modern art: have the scanner actually scanning a page of Fur Elise
sheet music while it plays Fur Elise, and display the output (it's
moving back and forth so the distortions might be neat.)

Is it ironic that I think they had too much time on their hands, and
then immediately think up ways they could continue to spend time on
this?

If you really want to get rid of it, I am in need of an old, half-worky
laser printer for making circuit boards. I can substitute a different
half-working laser printer if necessary.

There are some directives in the default mod_ssl.conf file on most

I consider it more than "kind of" Linux-related. It does run Linux after
all.

Were it not for that fact that I need to get rid of a number of machines
myself, I'd take you up on the offer. I need a basement "room of
computers" before I do too much more collecting.

With regards to getting free, legal access to Solaris. It is actually a
relatively painless thing to get at this point. You need to register
with their site, as you need to do for any of their downloads. (It will
be a DVD iso image, so plan accordingly.)

Of course, if you just want to play around with Solaris to compare it to
Linux, you can do that with OpenSolaris on x86 hardware. (They will even
send you an "OpenSolaris Starter Kit" for free at your request. It is
x86-only. It comes on two DVDs.)

Solaris is really something completely different when compared to Linux.
It is sort of like looking at an organism that developed in near total
isolation, while having a common ancestor to something you are familiar
with. (Though, I'm sure some of the OpenSolaris distributions wouldn't
be like that at all.)

Cheers,
Steven Black

Re: [BLUG] has anybody seen this error before?

Thanks Dave,

I kind of suspected that it was nothing to be terribly worried about
since I'm not experiencing any noticeable SSL problems and am running a
recent OpenSSL set of libraries, but its persistence over a long period
of time finally motivated the question :)

---------------------------------------------------------------

We are pleased to announce the fifth annual Ohio LinuxFest

The Ohio LinuxFest 2007 is free for all to attend, but you do
need to register ahead of time. Once again, we are offering an

open source developers, commercial organizations using Linux
and open source, and end users who have valuable experience
to share with other attendees. More information is available
at http://www.ohiolinux.org/speak.html.

Sponsorship packages are still available as well. Organizations
can choose from the Platinum, Gold, and Silver packages; Each
package includes space on the exhibition floor, space in the
Ohio LinuxFest Program, not to mention the opportunity to help
bolster the FOSS community in the mid-west while spreading the
word about your organization. And we are adding more opportunities
to sponsor the event to get your name out (stay tuned for updates).
Please register your interest at http://www.ohiolinux.org/sponsor.html.

We also have a limited number of .Org sponsorship packages
available, but they're going fast. Be sure to sign up right
away if you'd like to represent your FOSS project at the Ohio
LinuxFest. Please apply at http://www.ohiolinux.org/sponsor.html

The Ohio LinuxFest is a non-profit event run by members
from various LUGs in Ohio (and PA). If you would like
to help at the event, please submit your information at
http://www.ohiolinux.org/volunteer.html


This year's Ohio LinuxFest is shaping up to be the best one
ever, so be sure to register right away. We look forward to
seeing you in Columbus in September!

This is the message that caused the rest. As the error text implies, it can
be caused by someone stopping the SSL exchange before it was completed. If
you're seeing it multiple times in your logs it could mean any number of
things. A worm/exploit in the wild may not handle SSL well, a worm/exploit
in the wild may be trying to exploit mod_ssl, someones client doesn't play
nice with your SSL implementation, etc, etc. Possible reasons go on and on.

The message alone doesn't indicate a problem on your side. I wouldn't worry
about it unless you see other services also generating error.

[BLUG] For Sale: Sun Blade 100

Sorry if I offend anyone by posting this here, but it is kinda Linux
related...

I am selling:

Sun Blade 100 w/
500-MHz UltraSPARC[tm]-IIe, 64-bit
128mb of RAM
10gb HD
48X CD-ROM
Sun PCi IIpro x86 Coprocessor card.

I bought this machine at an auction when I was in Texas, as I wanted to
run Linux/BSD on some non-X86/AMD64 hardware. The Sun PCi IIpro card is
a X86 card that you can use to run X86 software on the machine (Windows
or Linux from what I am told). The drive will be wiped clean, but you
can download Solaris from Sun's website (hobbiest license i believe) or
you can run a variety of Linux/BSD distros. This machine isn't the most
powerful workstation, but has been alot of fun to play with and get some
experience on non-x86/AMD64 hardware.

The condition of the machine is good, but there are marks with a grease
pencil from the auction and some minor scratches...i mean it is used, so
it is in used condition. You get the desktop, the monitor, and the
keyboard and mouse (as long as I can find them) for $70.00. This is
what I paid for it, minus the shipping of bringing it to Indiana via
Uhaul. The keyboard and mouse are USB. If you need, I have a PS/2 to
USB converter (so you can use PS/2 kb and mouse with it of a PS/2 KVM)
for an extra $5.

BTW: the reason I am selling it is due to getting married in 2 weeks and
just getting my HAM license. Easiest way to get some HAM gear is to
sell a computer or two.

If you have any questions, contact me off list.

Thank you,
Scott Blaydes

Re: [BLUG] Gaming survey for everyone to take

I just wanted to say thank you to all the people who have
participated so far in the gaming survey. I've received 13 responses so
far, which is more than I expected. Patterns are starting to emerge and
the information will help me make the gaming sessions better for
everyone.

I'll keep the survey up so that if you haven't had a chance yet,
you can let your opinion be counted:

[BLUG] Gaming survey for everyone to take

Even if you are not interested in playing games or participating in the
weekly gaming sessions, I'd appretiate if you could take this quick
survey so that I can know generally how much interest there is:

http://www.bloomingtonlinux.org/surveys/blug_gaming_sessions.php

Please answer questions honestly. Remember, I'm putting this survey
out so that I can find out what to do for the weekly sessions, so answer
according to what would most likely allow you to participate. Not all
questions are required so you can take the survey even if you can't
answer most of the questions.

Thank you.

Re: [BLUG] insight broadband vs. flets

Well, you certainly gave me pause (ignorance, me?! never!), so I
researched the options and I can certainly get DSL service from other
people...but they all also require that I have phone service through
Verizon, so even if they were slightly cheaper (which they aren't)
it's not worth breaking my one-year agreement with Verizon to make the
switch, I'll still be paying Verizon the bulk of my bill.

Interesting tangent (to me): I was speaking with my dad last
night/this morning and he said the Venezuelan government finally
de-privatized CANTV, the Venezuelan telco. They've been speaking about
this for a while, and it looks like they finally went through with it.
During the last administration in the 90s CANTV, which was
historically always a State company, was taken public which ironically
enough meant that the public company had its shares sold to private
entities, mostly U.S. telecom firms.

I was curious about the economics of such a decision so I asked "So,
what did they do? Just take the company back and tell the gringos to
go home or did they buy back all the shares that were sold during the
last administration?", and he said "Yeah, the government bought back
all the shares, mostly from, oh, what's that company's name...oh,
yeah, Verizon."

Re: [BLUG] insight broadband vs. flets

You get some weird rules when dealing with an apartment complexes. Some
complexes will just tell the local telco or cableco they don't want them
and to get off the property. Others want the telco/cableco to put in
bids against other companies who bring in TV or bandwidth. I was
involved in a project where bandwidth was figured into the rent, but ppl
still ordered cable internet just because they didn't know that other
options existed. As internet becomes more and more of a utility, ppl
seem to expect no options such as for local fone service/cable
service/electrical service. The general public is creating the
monopolies in these markets out of ignorance.

Re: [BLUG] insight broadband vs. flets

I specifically said "I don't want phone service, I just want Internet"
a few times while I was ordering it, and was told that sure they could
do that if I got FIOS but, oh, I didn't qualify for FIOS so I had to
pay for phone service.

Re: [BLUG] insight broadband vs. flets

They said my address didn't qualify.

I assume that means they haven't fibered up my apartment complex.

Though, honestly, they seemed to get a much better deal because of it.

And, since I can't get cable (the apartment complex controls the cable
lines), I don't see a free market reason for Verizon to improve their
service.

It's sort of like that game, with the shoe and the dog--and the
colorful little cards--that Microsoft is so good at:

Re: [BLUG] insight broadband vs. flets

FIOS in Fort Wayne is 15M/2M, but I couldn't get it.

On the plus side, as a consolation prize I get to pay Verizon MORE
money for 1.5M/400K DSL (because I have to pay for a phone line,
though thankfully I don't actually have to plug a phone into it) that
took them a week from the time that they first called to tell me it
was activated and I was getting billed (thanks, I needed to relearn
how to use a phone book to get around town). I was worried what I
would do with the extra income I'm getting from my new job, but
Verizon was kind enough to step up to the plate and help a customer
out with that.

But, wait, there's more. You might think that's an awesome deal as it
is, but the DSL connection comes equipped with a built-in enforced
breaks feature which forces me to get up from time to time and read a
book, which is a neat feature though I think I'm going to request they
add the option to choose what time the DSL goes out so it's not right
when I really need it

Even better, the package bundle comes with a router that needs to be
power cycled from time to time to regain the DSL connection and/or the
wireless connection. I don't know about you, but I love my job so much
that I want to keep troubleshooting network issues when I get home!

From this perspective, Verizon gets a big thumbs up from me.

Disclaimer: I just left work as an admin at an ISP...

There are two problems with people comparing US "broadband" with other countries.  First is that the cost of the ISP's uplink is extremely expensive.  A DS3 will get you about 45Mbits/s up and down if all the channels are used for data.  If you want 10Mbits/s concurrent  then the cost of the uplink needs to drop, which isn't going to happen. That is where over subscribing comes in.

Second is the size and terrian of the US. You can't compare France to the US, the physical size just isn't the same and people live much closer together so costs are recouped much faster. People south of Bedford are lesslikely to get fiber because of the roll out cost.  It may be feasible to get 384/128 DSL but to expect 10Mbps/s is unreasonable at this point in time.

Re: [BLUG] insight broadband vs. flets

I agree, try downloading a linux iso of some sort from a major mirror
and see what you get. If you're really getting 50Mbit/s, you should
be able to download a ~600M iso in under three minutes. If you can do
that, color me impressed. But, my gut feeling is as Mark seems to be
suggesting, that it won't be anywhere near that. And I agree with
Matt, if it's just 50Mbit to the ISP but then you slow down after
that, well, that's not super useful is it.

As for Scott's old man grumbling, I've been musing recently
(including here:
http://davidernst.net/blog/2006/05/21/net-neutrality-is-a-deep-issue/
) That once we reach an actual usable home bandwidth that equals the
bitrate of a DVD being played -- 11.08 Mbit/s, according to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD-Video -- then I cannot currently
imagine what will drive masses of consumers to demand more bandwidth
at that point. Sure, people on this list would love to be able to
download ISOs faster, but there aren't enough of us to make that much
of a difference, and besides, I personally wouldn't pay any extra to
be able to download a full CD-ROM in 3 minutes (as per above) vs. 15
minutes (as would be at DVD rate). And, the vast majority of users
will be so thrilled that they can talk on Skype in DVD quality that
they'll just take whatever's cheapest and not pay more for more
bandwidth.

Of course, we've got a long way to go in the US before we reach that
point, but I predict a plateau. Maybe software bloat will surprise
me, and maybe some virtual reality thing will actually catch on, I'm
not saying "no one will ever need more than that", but I do predict
lots of bandwidth demand until we can all do DVD quality streaming,
and then a plateau. For whatever my predictions are worth. :)

And what is the point, you can only look at porn so fast.

Lets think of the other side of it, how fast can that zombied windows
box now send out spam? How fast can it scan for other unpatched system?
Does anyone really need to be able to "first post" on Slashdot that
quickly? Can Digg users bring up the same dupes even faster? Do you
really want to answer that video phone call while sitting in your
underwear at home in front of the computer? Put some pants on and brush

Re: [BLUG] insight broadband vs. flets

100M fiber to what?  The local ISP's lan where they have a DS3 (or whatever Japan has) connected to a peering point?  You can have a 1000M network in your local lan but that doesn't mean you got 1000M link to the backbone.

It reminds me of buying car speakers.  A true 250W amp in your car might leave you def.. Your not getting what you pay for.

Re: [BLUG] insight broadband vs. flets

I'm curious, are you actually getting the advertised speeds? What
would be a good way to test? I would only consider it to be what they
are advertising if you could download from a single site at a rate of
about 5 to 6 megabytes per second (for the 50Mbit connection).

Probably downloading an iso from one of the large mirrors would do the
trick.

Re: [BLUG] insight broadband vs. flets

yep your right some of the speeds isp's offer are ridicuolos but on the other hand which is easier to cover the entire us with high speed or the entirety of japan.

Re: [BLUG] Gaming Night Suggestion

Well, what's keeping me from playing is not the choice of games
(though, admittedly, having to run out and buy NWN was a factor in my
not showing up this past weekend), but of life circumstances.

This coming weekend, for instance, I'll be in Bloomington packing more
stuff to bring to my new apartment. Add to that the fact that I have
very little social life up here as of yet so I'll likely be calling up
friends to do some socializing if I get a free moment while I'm down
there, and chances I'll have the time to sit and rock the BZFlag on
Saturday at 9 fall slightly.

Re: [BLUG] Gaming Night Suggestion

Ok, if all of you are going to play then I'll put it on the schedule.
I'll knock off one of the ut2004 sessions. There need to be more weeks
in a month. ;-)

I'll be sending out a survey this week to try to collect everyone's
opinions about what games to play, when to play them and how you
generally feel about these gaming sessions.

Re: [BLUG] Who is playing NWN tonight or in the future?

Well,

Speaking for my fiancée and myself, I'd say that we're both interested
in playing, and will seek out the diamond edition on eBay since we
were not able to locate it at a local Target.

Regarding TYPE of character, that would depend on what mood I'm in
when I sit down at the character generator...

[BLUG] Who is playing NWN tonight or in the future?

Doing a group game of Neverwinter Nights might take a little more
coordination than just everyone joining the game. Can you let me know
if you are planning on playing NWN tonight or in the future and what
type of character you were hoping to play?

The game starts at 9pm tonight, but try to start about 8:45 because
you'll need to create a character and stuff.

Thanks.

Re: [BLUG] Changes to gaming schedule

When my fiancée first saw me playing it, she was sort of annoyed
because I'd get sucked into it and forget everything else that was
going on. Then she was like "I'm bored, show me how to play that
thing", and she was rather frustrated through the character creation
process because I sort of intuitively understood everything that was
going on (because I used to be a D&D geek, right up to the point where
AD&D3E came out so I got familiar with those rules even though I never
played them IRL) and she didn't. I explained a little bit about how
things worked, and then *boom*...I lost her and my computer, both.

I suddenly understood what it looked like, from the outside, to be so
absorbed in a video game that you forget to eat and sleep.

It would have been more amusing if we'd had two computers, though.

I'll have to find a Target nearby and see...

Oh, and you guys might appreciate this: I found a copy of Darwinia at
Big Lots for $3!
