Slashdot Mirror

I reported a bug *very* similar to this back in Oct, and only now its coming to light? WTF? I submitted this back in january and it was rejected. Ah well. Here's my page on it: http://garion.tzo.com/resume/page2/bind.html

>Recently -- like within the last six months or so, I've noticed an alarming number of domains that aren't receiving my emails. And no, I haven't been blackholed or otherwise put on anyone's shit list, nor am I running an open relay. The mailserver is perfectly well-behaved, standards compliant, and only relays from within my home LAN.

Doesn't matter -- dynamic IP addresses are impossible to individually blacklist. You can blacklist static IP offenders, but with dynamic I am sorry to report that the whole "basket" is rotten -- ALL dynamic IPs must be blocked to preserve the system for others.

You need to use a commercial SMTP relay service, like TZO Outbound Mail Relay, which will get you around the IP block (and will also fix your reverse MX issues). You have to relay out email through a real static IP -- it's too much spam bandwidth to rely on content filtering alone.

Still OT, related to mainland .CN internet censorship and blocking of sites.

Has anyone done any research regarding China blocking Dynamic DNS providers?
You can not even get to the tzo.com website from inside mainland China. I am told the same restrictions apply to DynDNS and other providers.

I assume the theory is because it's relatively EASY to set up a website on dynamic DNS, and you will not need a static IP which is almost impossible in China (without deep pockets anyways).

There seems to be no technical contact to even query for the policy behind the ban.

China is hurting itself here, because dynamic IPs are about the only IPs it has to work with (relative to the demand for fixed IPs anyways).

If anyone has data, I would appreciate it.

I know some of the hard-core techies like DynDns or no-ip, but try getting technical support from any of them. You get what you pay for.

TZO has an excellent client for Windows which can even use UPNP to open/forward the ports you want on the router.

Their client even has an optional, proprietary webserver and photo sharing client, for those of us who don't need a full blown Apache or IIS install (and all that entails).

Works great.

You are the first intelligent and lawful participant in this forum.

Social Security Number is known as a irrevocable trust fund of the United Nations. It is a three-party agreement, contractual, and is not lawful to force upon anyone. Today, all of Social Security Number requirments are fraudulent.

For more information on Social Security and howto conquer this mark of the beast, visit Familyguardian.tzo.com (aka http://chansen.tzo.com).

And last, for those of us that think we are beneficiaries of banks, hence that think we are not creditors, get whipe the United States corporation's sand^H^H^H^Hlies from your eyes and take the lawful money quiz and as well visit the Gold is Money .info forums.

...and I'll say it again. No, I don't want to go there today.

Here's one that appears to work.

Exhibit A (UNITED STATES corporation aka UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT)
Exhibit B (Trafficant's admittance of the UNITED STATES coproration aka U.S. GOVERNMENT)
Exhibit C (united States of America and UNITED STATES historical foundation)
Exhibit D (uSA vs US, Republic vs unlawful Democracy)

It was not difficult to google this information. Also of note, Familyguardian.tzo.com appears to be the greatest reference to this verry date, with genuine recognition to google.

The second URL that reads "http://familyguardian.com" was mistakenly typed and should be

Please mod this up for people to recognize this fact. Thanks mods.

Actually, I'm glad you pointed that out.

In my search for a reference to back up my use of the slang term, I found information that pointed me to the correct spelling of the word. It's "cojones" with an "O" (used in Spain -- huevos is preferred in Mexico). Live and learn!

But dude, cojones, huevos, balls o lo que sea -- they're all slang, it all works. I know what I'm talking about. Trust me.

....Bethanie....

Look at the 7th Ammendment, dude. How and when do you think that Ammendment applies in today's world? They try to burry the Common Law (the law of the land) with mounds of statutory privileges. What you don't understand is HOW TO RECLAIM YOUR SOVEREIGNTY.

When did anyone need permission to get married to the person they love, or travel on public roads they are forced to pay for regardless of status?

Read the Senate reports, for they unlock all the mysterious legislation, and read the United States Code as exhibited by Cornell University. I don't operate in fiction, I am secure in my Persons, and I have unalienable rights that are not privileges that are subjugated or diminished by states foreign to my own.

Do you not understand? And whoever marked my post as troll, who are they to know truth from fiction without observing my references? The truth will set you free, it did for me. Which country do you live in, US or USA?

The UNITED STATES is a corporation. I found this slashdot post, and it contained this URL to a page on chansen.tzo.com. I'm sure, you're wondering where the hell all these pirates (UNITED STATES LLC) came from. Further perusing, apparently after the American Civil War (a) UNITED STATES corporation appeared in 1871. Here is the chansen.tzo.com URL for outlining some facts.

Scarry shit, eh? And further investigation... Durring the American Civil War, somthing like 8,000 British troops were positioned on the Canadian border around the Great Lakes waiting as if to invade American (again), but President Lincoln asked the Czar of Russia to position somthing like 5,000 troops in the California territory (Republic) in anticipation of Brittain's invasion. That's some scarry shit. Look up the Common Law and especially do some research on the Uniform Commercial Code; that's what I discovered. Apparently, the UCC was used to enslave the states (yes, a state is a person offering a service; you and me according to Common Law). Yet, the UCC can be used to make you free.

I highly recommend the research. It all fits perfectly and I don't believe any shit without evidence, evidence, and evidence. Also, reading the Senate reports is where you get all your evidence. Apparently, the UNITED STATES LLC (the illegitimate sadistic private company) went bankrupt again recently in 1971(IIRC?). I haven't stopped researching, and working by the Countly Clerk and private notary is what everyone is raving about. I think I'll try it, despite being shot at. LOL

I am not ignorant. By the hardness of your heart, you criticize the strongest elements of my post. Despite all your slandering, your disclaimer at the end of your post points me in a direction that has already been tarnished by you. As if coaxed to jump off a bridge, your disclaimer is rhetorically speaking, a mis-placed pillow on the jagged rocks below. I humbly respond to your vile words...

1) All the people who were sent to Australia as criminals are long dead.
According to the man that prosecuted Kevin before a judge, Kevin will always be a criminal; and the *prosecutor* continually slanders Kevin for things Kevin has stopped doing three years ago. I notice it is the aspect of Kevin's education (enlightenment) that has convicted Kevin of infinite *criminality* and of which is the founding of his employability of such great skills; Kevin is an expert on security, of which you and I both know that anyone else in the United States is most definitly not. If that logic is true, that by mere education of said crack^H^H^H^Hhacking makes those you teach infinitly a criminal, then the people sent to Australia are all criminals, because being descendants and taught by their descendents the verry things that made them criminal, makes them a criminal. Keep in mind, I know the history of Australia as well as the Catholic Church's many slave orphanages kept in Australia (last one there was in the 1970's). Australians are not criminals by my laws, but under the Crown of Brittain, they were/are criminals as well as my ancestors were. Whoes laws are you going to believe, the laws invested in me by my father in heaven, Brittain's laws, or Brittain^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^HUnited States corporation's laws? The laws invested in me promote forgivness. I can't say the same about those atheist laws.

2) I'm not your fscking brother, only one person in the world holds that legitimate claim, so don't insult my family by arbitrarily including yourself into it.
I didn't say your are a brother for me to fuck. Speaking that you referred to me as ignorant, the word "fuck" is actually a derivative French word "Fuch" and often the German word "Frichen" is substituted. The German word, "Frichen", means "strike", and the French word, "Fuch"...I'm sure you know what that means. You are more ignorant than I, for you construe words to make them vile; you are a corruptor of vocabulary, and I make a distinction of words. The Grammar Nazi, beknownst to Slashdot as the vigilante that corrects bad grammar, would have a heyday if not dead. And last, no, I am not an incestuos man and I govern pro se and pro per by the laws given to me by my father in heaven. I refered to my brothers of slashdot in the spiritual sense of all those participating on slashdot with me are my brothers; a slight ommition, but nonetheless understood by many that are not evil.

3) Forgiving is a choice, no one deserves forgiveness.
By your words, Australia and the united States of America are all criminals. Does one war make war criminals forever? By the laws given to me by my father in heaven, forgivness is me and may be you if you only accept.

4) The US is not a corporation, duh, and Mr. Mitnick is not being held any more. RTFA... hell, RTF summary.
On the contrary, the UNITED STATES is a de-facto corporation (unlawful) and do you live in the United States or the united States of America? If you are a foreigner, I would of thought you as more perceptible to the undeclared war in Iraq, but not everyone operates on law (implying a form of Barbarian). As of 1871, the UNITED STATES became a corporator, a private organization with investors (bankers the most). Did you ever wonder why Switzerland is never involved in any of the Worldy Wars? The Interntational Banks are located in Switzerland. I silentl

What makes you think the bill is not quenchable?
All that is required is time and you are required to be your own lawyer: Pro Se or Pro Per; Sui Juris. You are thinkin *inside* the box. You imply your relevance to a lawyer, a credited member of the BAR (British Accredited Regency) to have it overturned and this in NOT acceptable to us Americans. We do not practice law, we participate. You need to have it overturned Pro Per, and with so much doubt how will you accomplish similar victories?

Many things caused all the problems of today, and the IRS is just a spike of _someone_else's_creation_ that is taking advantage of the confusion. Do you not understand the fraudulent use of Federal Reserve Notes and the forgotten existance of the Spanish Milled "Dollar"? Of'course, you'll say somthing around the tree as "I heard of somthin...", and you kept using them without further investigation. You are a potentional aire of nonspeakable wealth endowed to you by God... If you are held to repay the Public Debt, how do you pay it back with Federal Reserve Notes when they are not "lawful money" to be redeemed for Gold or Silver coin? And who says you are liable for the Public Debt? It's a nexus, using promisory notes to be exchanged for promisory notes, ad infinitum. The Public Debt grows, only a few of us know about it's true meaning and some have constructed methods to pay it back to abolish the "UNITED STATES." As of 1871, the "Act of 1871" called for a creation of the "UNITED STATES". They'll still hold you for ransom to pay the Public Debt, until you send those affidavits to secure your sovereignty of which they can't dishonor. But then, you'ld already gone over your head because you have no law under your feet with which to prosecute. You must be outside of the UNITED STATES, looking in. Your Person is not secure and your Transmitting Utility is owned by the UNITED STATES.

I understand your doubt. You've seen many innocent and not-so-innoncent (Koresh) people get taken down by the IRS. You are looking at the situation as I look at people jumping off cliffs with hanggliders. To jump or not to jump?

The only way there will be tax reform is if the people arm themselves and take to the streets.

I am one of those people! I have systematically challenged every peice of legislation and defeated it in court! Look at your Constitution, brother! If you adhere to it, then you will recognize its compromise by unlawful agents! As I said earlier, the 1st Ammendment to my Constitution says that no law shall be made respecting or prohibiting an establishment of religion. Do you not recognize its premise? I don't mean any disrespect, but your doubt in this situation is costing many others their freedom by not acting on your Constitution. As well, the Patriot Act is not lawful, why are you not taking to the streets with the knowledge to defeat the unlawful? I read the Patriot Act and it was such child-constructed garbage of Orin Hatch; he kept jumping back and forth between "American", "citizen", and "person" that the law is inconsistent of anything but what the unlawful Corporations pull out act upon without any affirmation. The Patriot Act is NULL AND VOID,

It is We, the People that correct those that govern us. According to the Constitution of the united States of America, a government is contractual and if they operate otherwise then you and I are to correct them. Honestly, the Revolutionary War didn't accomplish anything; read the Declaration of Independance in full and recognize that all treaties and contracts with Britain and others are still valid; it's just that a Declaration of Independance and Constitution/Corporation Aggregate was created for the ex-Britain (colonists) to fall upon away from the King/Britain.

Can you say, Common Law is under attack?

Browse here for a small part of the IRS investigation by Mr. Chris Hansen.

Exactly what part of a sting is a terror tactic?

All of it? I think it's pretty terrorizing to the populace to think that, for growing a plant you can have your house and car taken from you.

And the police befriend people and then prosecute them. So it terrorizes the populace into being afraid of their friends.

We proved prohibition doesn't work back in the 1920's. Tactics are getting scarier, even raiding shops that sell certain pipes which can be used to smoke anything, including tobacco. As another poster said, Walmart sells tobacco pipes but you didn't see them raiding Walmart, did you?

That's selective enforcement; I believe that's another mark of a police state. I'll close with a quote from Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged":

"Did you really think that we want those laws to be observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against - then you'll know that this is not the age for beautiful gestures. We're after power and we mean it. You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you'd better get wise to it. There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted - and you create a nation of law-breakers - and then you cash in on guilt. Now, that's the system, Mr. Rearden, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with."

Which is *very* easy to fake. I can grab dc_gui from here, install it, goto the user prefs tab, goto shares, change the size offset to 150.43 GB (or whatever you want), and add a virtual share directory of my current download directory.

If I really did want to share anything, I could change the QOS settings to low cost IN the client, or add a very small upload bandwidth limit (minimum 0.5 kb/s in it)

I hurt my back bad enough to end up building this

As far as I know, this is an option - try Metacity Setup - I swear the option to do just that is included in that program.

My apologies if it doesn't actually show up in the README. *sheepish grin*

Note: nearly all of my responses to you will be directly influenced by this document. I personally consider it a must read for anyone interested in Free/OSS desktops.

Additionally, I really dislike what has happened with gnome 2 in configurability. Making intelligent defaults is all fine and good, but when you can't get it how you want, frustration ensues.

Understandable. As it says in the above link, if you feel that the behavior of a particular program is frustrating, file a bug either suggesting a change to the behavior, or, if it really really must be, requesting a preference to change the behavior. Either way, have a logical arguement ready, though - please be aware that "But I've always done it this way!" probably won't fly. If something is broken, but familiar, it's still broken. Sometimes it's really worth the small pain of learning to change your user habits. Of course, other times, the developers are wrong, and need your help in straigtening it out! :-)

Another example is that in metacity, clicking anywhere on a window raises it.

Read the Metacity README file! This is one of Metacity's precious few user options. If you really want a GUI instead of using GConf to change this stuff, check out Metacity Setup - it's a seperate project from Metacity proper, but it's becoming quite nice!

(incidently, sloppy focus really is total crack, as Havoc also says in the README, but he's letting it slide anyhow *because* of the fact that it's so very useful. The "weight" of the preference is justified in this case. Again, the README is highly informative on this subject.)

Additionally, at least for now, sawfish doesn't even have the infrastructure to bind keys to switching to workspaces in a 2d sense (I can move left or right, but not up or down)

See the release notes: http://www.gnome.org/start/2.0/errors.html#id28297 18

My vote still lies in configurability, and my hope is I don't have to turn to enlightenment to get it.

Well, if you can put up with E's serious bloat, stability, and consistency issues, (that I've always had with E - maybe it's different for you) in exchange for maniacal control over your WM, be my guest. My guess is you'll probably go back to Gnome or KDE after only a few days. ;-)

(My apologies to E users and developers, but my experiences with it have been *terrible*...)

I used phpnuke. Slash-like, runs on any server capable of mysql and php.. VERY easy to install and administer. I use tzo.com's dymanic dns service myself... although dyndns is cheaper :) i just forgot about it when i set it up(i'm a previous tzo customer.. so i knew about that one from a few years ago)

i tried slascode, but couldnt get the mod_perl to work quite right... and found php nuke much more admin friendly

my group is at linuxdistro.tzo.com right now, soon it will be just linuxdistro.com...

1. VIA doesn't get it right the first time
   They really, really don't. IN the past two years, nary a chipset, if any, has been released without an "A" revision almost immediately following it, containing updates to the north and/or southbridge.
2. VIA doesn't know what it's doing
   Recently, it has been up to the tech community to solve VIA's problems. The Linux kernel was patched specifically for bugs in VIA's chipsets. Latency problems in its PCI implementation (gee, not like they've had 7 years to get PCI figured out) are fixed here.
3. VIA chipsets have an unusually high number of bugs
   Even the venerable Intel 440BX chipset had 20-some bugs. VIA, on the other hand, has a significant multiple of this number for each of their chipsets (esp. because of their shared Intel/AMD southbridges), and they are This does not change the instability or the ongoing discovery of bugs in their chipsets. The venerable 440BX had numerous errata, but not nearly enough to make it a bad chipset. VIA's chipsets, on the other hand, have a significant multiple more, and they are less forthcoming about them, which brings us to:
4. VIA has a poor attitude about its end users
   The latest debacle involving VIA is that webcams attached to the USB controller built into its southbridge don't work in Windows XP. Use of another OS or a different controller seems to be all that is necessary to mend the problem. VIA's solution: denials, then a BIOS patch. That doesn't even make sense.

On top of this, there is a new, irritating bug found with VIA chipsets on a monthly basis. I simply couldn't reccomend them to anyone, despite their generally high performance. Look in the direction of NVIDIA's nForce motherboards, which are proving come with better integrated audio, and open source drivers on everything but the video, which is now an optional feature in the x15 chipsets.

How about using a service like TZO.com to link a dynamically assigned ip address back to a static FQDN ($25/yr)? That would allow you to locate you machine no matter where it logged in. Under Linux you could use SSH/VNC/telnet to get access to the machine. Under windows you could use PCAnywhere or similar program.

>Wrong. Nowhere in our constitution it is written a citizen can pocket the benefits of free education for himself and his children, health-care, inter-generation retirement payment, roads and generally good transport infrastructure, electricity networks, economic help when in sector needing it, and also of having educated employed with good healthcare, ..., and then be able to unilateraly change the principle of the society, by deciding "well it's not normal I give a cent to the State".

And nowhere is it written that you can't.

At least, thank god, there is NO LAW that requires a person to have a SSN. Whoops, I don't owe a dime to the government :)

> This citizen WAS WELL AWARE of what the general principles and law are (since redistribution rate is nearly constant now), well before getting rich (or poor). That's the very basis of the "social contract".

If it's a contract, then *SHOW* me where I signed? I didn't, so it's NOT a valid contract. Case closed.

TZO.com a reliable dynamic DNS service.

It's great to see other people finally learning the truth !

Here's a very interesting thoroughly researched document entitled The Great IRS Hoax. It has 1600+ (!!) pages documenting that the Income Tax is based on Voluntary Compliance.

Dynamic DNS. I use tzo. Its only $25/year (but I'm still in the year's free subscription that came with my router). The standard service gives you a whatever.tzo.com domain, so I just set up a CNAME on my domain that points to the dynamic dns domain. Works great.

I've been a comcast@home subscriber from practically day 1, and for the most part have been very satisfied. My biggest problems so far have been:

• Undependable DNS. My assigned DNS servers seem to go down at least once every other week. This bothers me less now that I have my own caching DNS server; but renders the service useless to most people.
• Undependable email. I'll take your word that your email department is staffed by idiots. Lately, it takes 2 or 3 tries to connect to the mail server. I might have to go to self-hosting, taking advantage of Tzo's store & forward service.
• Really goofy routing. For example, packets going from work to home (3 miles apart in MD) get routed dc (qwest) > chicago (qwest) > cleavland (@home) > nj > dc. There should be a more direct route, since both @home & qwest both have backbone connections in DC. The return route is basically identical. I also see several 10.*.*.* addresses when tracerouting in from work.

I would strongly suggest that you check out Tzo They provide DNS services for broadband users. They have a store-and-forward email service that would provide a good backup for a roll-your-own email setup at home. Plus, they have a dynamic DNS system that will automagically map your domain to whatever IP your ISP is giving you at the moment (very handy if your broadband provider dosn't do static ip's).

I would love to see a distributed name to IP resolution service, that uses an architecture similar to Gnutella . Of course there is no reason to limit the service to domain name resolution. It can be quite handy to resolve an email address to an IP address, too.

This new piece of Internet infrastructure would be very handy for anyone wanting to do things cheaply. I'm thinking of:

• Web servers
• Remote access (VNC)
• chat
• voice over IP
• multi-player gaming

Does anyone here think that, when the whole of the Internet has moved to IPv6, DHCP-like autoconfiguration will die? Of course DHCP helps when a large group of intermittently-connected hosts share a small block of addresses, but will this ability be needed when IPv6 gives enough bits to address every atom on the planet?

The problem I see with DHCP is that it is a hindrance to the little guy, a way to enforce unnecessary ISP pricing structures, and even somewhat of a barrier to free speech. When an ISP makes its users configure their hosts with DHCP, they keep that host from having a permanent address. It is somewhat more difficult to run a public Internet server when the server's address changes constantly. Services exist to dynamically point a DNS name to a DHCP-configured host (I use tzo.com), but this still represents a hassle and undermines the reliablility of the server's network connection. Plus, if your ISP gets tired of your practice, you may be faced with an ultimatum: lose your account or upgrade your connection to the highway-robbery level. That's right; if you wanna play, you gotta pay -- even though you're paying an arm and a leg more for the same technology as before.

So what will it be? Will the ability to give a fixed address to anyone on the planet who wants one be embraced, or will dynamic addressing still be enforced on the lowly ISP subscriber?

Another example, Conquest & Destiny There are numerous examples, this one is my favourite as it reminds me of IMO the best game ever, Master of Orion II. Massive Multiplaying, 21 Million planets, persistent universe and support for 900.000 players, man have I been waiting for this. Still waiting..

I run my own mail server, soon to be a web, news, quake, etc. server off of a Roadrunner cable modem connection with a dynamic IP.

I use dynamic DNS service from tzo.com, and their service has been pretty much configure-and-forget -- in other words, great for non-super-sysadmins like me. They don't use an update program like some other services, but instead, a URL. To update your dynamic DNS redirection, you point a browser to the URL and blammo, it's done. I took their simple scripts and wrote my own that send in an update whenever my DHCP lease is refreshed. My scripts pass the proper URL to lynx in batch mode and dump the output to a log file. Not hard at all.

You can get groovyname.sillydomain.tld kind of service or myowndomain.tld service. I have the second. They claim to have five (?) servers, all in different time zones using different colocation. I haven't experienced a problem with it.

So, why GSWeb or WebObjects?

- It's a framework, not an application server. In other words, you don't build applications, you use the WO framework to build application servers. Each app handles it's own memory, threading, resources, etc for incredible performance and scalability. This also makes it extremely flexible as it's a strong OO environment and almost all of the functionality of the app server can be overriden in you application.

- EOF (Entreprise Object Framework). If you've never used EOF (or GNUstep DB) you don't know what database development could be like.

- It's a standard environment. By this I mean the programming is more like a standard GUI app. You don't have a form that posts data to the same page or another page. Instead, you have a form with an action property that is bound to a method so that when an action is performed (click submit) the method is called. You as a developer don't have to worry about form names and how to do validation, your method can do whatever it needs and return an arbitrary page without messiness like forwarding or including other pages.

There's lots more. Basically, when logic very much outweighs content, WO is hard to beat. On the downside, it is a completely different way to think about web development and there is a learning curve. For OpenStep developers, this will be small, but for programming novices, it could be quite steep. But how productive you can be with a tool is definately a factor that needs to be considered.

Check out GNUstep Web at www.gnustepweb.org. I have the source for a very simple GSWeb application up at http://zeus1.tzo.com/GuestBook/, this is basically a GSWeb conversion of apple's first WebObjects tutorial app (yes, it's entirely useless and it would be stupid to use WO for a GuestBook :)

I registered a domain with TotalNIC.net they have a web/email interface for changing all your contacts, and everything went down smoothly. I paid via CC, the fee was $35 for two years. I then used tzo.com to dynamically house my IP address; since I am still stuck with a 56k PPP connection.

Now I get mail to my linux router box via qmail. Everything works great.

a lot of OSS are written by geeks and for geeks, as a geek i don't care, but if i tell a coworker "try this it's wonderful" and he discovered it's a command line tool with a lot of options, he'll not use it. I know people called them "computer geek" but the only thing they know is click on a button, like the script kiddies who don't know what a shell prompt is...
i'm going back hacking sendmail.cf with vi :o)

my friend use it on his site http://www.beroute.tzo.com which is a french BeOS community website alà Slashdot, and he translated the strings in french also! it's so cool the code is available! thanks!
