SpamAssassin false positives on DATE_IN_FUTURE_96_Q?
by Gilbert E. Detillieux 23 Feb '16

23 Feb '16

I mentioned this problem at the last round-table session, but didn't get a solution, so I thought I'd post it here, just in case anyone has any suggestions to offer. I'm still seeing a whole bunch of false positives in SpamAssassin, since an update was installed in mid-September on a CentOS 5.7 system, for a rule called DATE_IN_FUTURE_96_Q, which is only supposed to be triggered when the "Date:" header has a date that is 4 days to 4 month ahead of the date in the "Received" header that … [View More]

ATX power supply
by Kevin McGregor 05 Dec '12

05 Dec '12

Does anyone have a spare ATX power supply? Mine seems to have a problem. Specifically, when I run the CPUID Hardware Monitor, it reports these voltages: [image: Inline image 1] The numbers for -12V concern me. :-) The columns are Current/Min/Max, respectively. So if you have a power supply that's taking up space that you'd like to reclaim, please let me know and bring it to the next MUUG meeting. As it happens, I'll be bringing some valuable (I hope) hardware items to the meeting as free … [View More]

linux not caching files very long
by Trevor Cordes 05 Dec '12

05 Dec '12

My main box has 8GB RAM. There's usually 3GB of programs running. The rest usually is shown as free or going to buffers/cache. I have a set of files I often linearly scan through and they are around 1GB. They used to read in and stay cached for hours (I can tell because my scan takes 3s when cached and 90s when not!). Now they seem to get dropped and require re-reading all the time, like if I don't use them for a few minutes. AFAICT my ps load has not changed and I'm not doing anything … [View More]

Re: [RndTbl] resizing an SD card image?
by Adam Thompson 21 Nov '12

One thing you can *sometimes* do is write the smaller image to the card, then use gPartEd (or similar) to increase it. -Adam Grigory Shamov <Grigory.Shamov(a)ad.umanitoba.ca> wrote: >Hi, > >Any easy way to resize a bootable image for SD card?

time off by 1 hour
by Trevor Cordes 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

I have a rarely-on (media player) linux box that since the daylight savings changeover (I think) always boots with the time off by 1 hour. (I think it thinks it's 1 hour later than it really is.) It's a modern(ish) Fedora 16 with the latest updates. I can set the clock correctly manually or with ntpdate and all is fine until reboot. Then it's wrong again. I am running ntpd on it to set the clock using my own internal ntpd server that does keep correct time. I did check that the timezone was … [View More]

resizing an SD card image?
by Grigory Shamov 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

Hi, Any easy way to resize a bootable image for SD card? There are ready Linux images for booting on Android devices, like MK802. The problem is, 1) sometimes you don't have a card for that size (say 4Gb image, 8Gb card) or 2) micro-SD card come in random sizes, so an image for 8Gb card can be some kbytes too long for a 8Gb card of another vendor. I probably could mount the image, copy the contents and go over the process of creating a bootable image myself. But is there a way of doing it … [View More]
