geek plan linux
today a german showed me how to forge the from field in pine. it was pretty sweet. i've officially installed the last version of pine and got it sort of working.
failure points to resolve:
1. configuring fetchmail through gui
2. using the above hack to work around configuring sendmail
3. not having any fucking clue how to configure fetchmail after browsing it's man page
in other geeky events, i got one of the old speakeasy servers running again. apparently it was a custom job straight from del and the crackbabies put laptop cd/disk drives in it. some drunken chicaneries had resulted in it being dropped down some stairs (fucker is heaaavy) and now i have it. it's only a 733 pentium III, but it's got 4 scsi hotswap bays and backup power supplies. in the bygone era, it was a dns server in the lax pop. mail server.
also, the first spazz server i've been relying on as a go-to since the doomnaught failed is rapidly ending it's life cycle as a direct use box. i think i'm going to convert it to a file-server and see about making it a network mount point. i was in the man page for fstab a few days ago and the idea nfs was intriguing me. i'll need another gig-switch/hub to make that a realistic use though.
the xboxes remain under my bed, unhacked. i'm at about 90% to actually do something with them. after all the command line work i've done with the recent installs, it should be easy as pie. a dmz? proxy server? streaming music's out because that requires a huge drive and i can't replace the xbox hard drives and still use them as xboxes, but if the nfs mount point idea pans out.... what i really need are a few more usb cables and xbox controllers so i can splice the cables together to make a usb-xbox plug in. also, a few more of those chips to separate rgb out so i can plug their video directly into a monitor. that way i can design the circuit right and make them with generic bread-boards from radio shack
i still need to browse back through linux in a nutshell to find the commands that'll allow me to convert upper case to lower and spaces to underscores. i saw them, the first time through, but forgot to explore the suggested use of them into existance and now don't recall what the commands were.
i seriously need to get off my ass and rma it's proc before the warranty expires... or buy a new one, it's got one of those weird names and i'm really not fucking sure how fast it is. that annoys the crap out of me.
chris is coming over on thrusday and we're going to build mail servers. it's teh rad.
