wife comes from 'old money' so when I met her I knew she'd never be the type to clean, wash, iron, cook etc. at least I knew what I was letting myself in for
@ChrisS Of course. I'm speaking from my own changes, I have my own bills and so forth. I used to stress out a lot about money, I felt it added a lot of useless stress to my life and stopped me from enjoying life. I'm at a place where I only look at my bank account every month or two.
Every month or two I move all the money where it needs to go, and repeat.
In practice, I don't really want to spend money on things any more, I've gone from buying useless things like a 300$ pair of sneakers to just consuming less, cutting junk out of my life. It's weird, I'll blog about it all one day.
The Richest Man in Babylon is a book by George Samuel Clason which dispenses financial advice through a collection of parables set in ancient Babylon. Through their experiences in business and managing household finance, the characters in the parables learn simple lessons in financial wisdom. Originally a series of separate informational pamphlets distributed by banks and insurance companies, the pamphlets were bound together and published in book form in 1926.
The Man Who Desired Gold
Bansir, a chariot builder, has a conversation with his friend Kobbi, a musician. They bemoan the time...
You can pick up the book in a lot of bookstores for like 5-10$ or something.
@Incognito It's just money... Either you're still alive and can earn more, or you're dead and don't need it anymore. Either way it's nothing to lose sleep over.
@ChrisS Oh I know, but it's still unfortunate. Imagine if you will, having the fore-sight to have bought gold when it was only $800/ounce, and sell it at $1000/ounce because you wanted useless junk, even though you knew it was going up.
Part of the reason I sold it was: I looked at it every day. Hence: don't look at your money.
So unrelated to all of this-- is anyone familiar with spam filtering? I'm looking for SpamAssassin as a service that runs the probability checking on emails before being sent.
@Incognito Sure, the spamc program will take the e-mail as stdin and dump it with score as stdout
If you just want a one off score you can send it to me and I'll tell you the score (my install is very vanilla). If you want to do that on a regular basis installing SA isn't terrible...
I had a neo from the matrix moment one day looking at my old server that does some reporting to see if this one website changed their JS files-- I looked through the index and saw some moni.pl and I just jumped back and said "What? I know perl?!"
Evidently, I know some perl.
Are you speaking of the new perl6 or something else?
Just reviewing the docs; looks like spamassassin-run -t < original.email > with_report.email will do what you want, and tell you in detail how the message got the score.
I have a situation where I want to connect to a Linux machine running VNC (lets call it VNCServer) which is behind two consecutive Linux machines i.e., to ssh into the VNCServer, I have to ssh into Gateway1 from my laptop, then from Gateway1 shell I ssh into the Gateway2 and then from that shell ...
Sometimes we order from a pizza place in bridgeport and they have amazing garlic rolls. She'll want to split a pizza and some wings or something and I just want half a dozen garlic rolls
@Incognito It's expecting the raw ascii; in Outlook you can do a Save As on an e-mail and select "text" as the file type.
Outlook doesn't export the full headers; so it wont have any of the SMTP headers in it though, so be warned that SA will 1. Not be particularly happy, though that doesn't raise the score much 2. Headers can trip tests that might raise the score, so not having them will not run those tests... If the message was sent through SMTP you can view the headers of the e-mail and put them in the text manually.
Also, after you're done installing SA, make sure to run sa-update on a somewhat regular basis to keep the rules updated.
Having open rules allows spammers craft e-mails to avoid the rules; so the rules change from time to time to keep up.
Also, some people mess with the reputation rules. For instance, the only rule changes I have on my servers are: 1. If you have a SPF rule on your domain or if the e-mail is DKIM signed then +5. 2. If your e-mail passes the SPF or DKIM test then -10
I need to futz with the rule for DKIM domain policy... not sure if SA even looks it up by default.
Should probably also get a rule in there for DNSSEC...
I'll put those on my TODO list right next to graylisting.
BrianMadden.com According to what people write on LinkedIn, 10287 people have VDI skills. That's like 10 peeps per implementation! http://t.co/eUjKEUj9
@MarkM Strictly speaking, sure. But if you're going to string someone up, you might as well pick a valid reason instead of a random one. Looks better in the history books.
Can someone who follows me on twitter let me know if my tweet to @plragde that starts with ".@plragde Pretty sure" shows up in your normal timeline (22min ago)?
The BBB of MI has a message at the bottom of their official newsletters (e-mails) basically ripping ICANN a new one over their new TLDs. Nice to see more or less non-technical people get it too.
I'm a sick, sick puppy indeed but there's a post on reddit right now about a dude who watched just about every 'shock site' video there is and comments on them - don't look at it, it'll damage you
@Holocryptic And that used to be useful for injecting a reply that people wouldn't normally see into people's timelines. Argh argh argh, it's time to seriously look at identica clients :p
I'm starting out with software RAID on Linux and hit a roadblock when using a nested RAID schema. I have three small disks that I'm RAID0ing, and then RAID1ing with a partition on another larger HDD. In effect, this leads to a RAID0+1 scheme, with a RAID1 of a physical partition and a RAID0 parti...
@MikeyB ah, I see. I was wondering if that was a bug or a feature. That's one of the things I don't like about mobile TweetDeck. I can't see @ replies to people I'm not following. I can on the PC version though
I have four devices that I want to sync my bookmarks across: a Mac Mini, a Macbook Air, an iPad2, and a Windows 7 PC.
I use Safari on the three Apple products and Firefox 8 on the Windows 7 PC. I use iCloud to sync my bookmarks with the three Apple devices, but this obviously leaves my Windows P...
The infrastructure team at my company charges $10,000 per TB for storage costs. They charge this to us (internal) when we have new projects and need more disk.
Are we paying too much? Obviously a broad question, but please help out if you can.
They claim we get 200,000-300,000 IOPS with respons...
that would automatically export and import them to the IE bookmark store so that it looks like it's actually firefox native syncing but uses IE in the background
whats great about it (and most higher end cards now) when it starts to age, just buy a second one for cheaper than it is now, pop an SLI bridge on it and boom, sexy again
@MikeyB that plus a i72600k, gonna see if I can't keep the clock at 5.2 =3
Ugh. Problem ticket we just got in: "The first one I set was working well, I installed SSH, and LAMP. When users started working on it, ssh went flickery preventing users to do their work remotely, including myself as administrator."
You may need to try kickstart GUI tools to generate one, and check selinux item inside.
